It's nice to see that the men and women at Hot Topic are taking the time to think about the North America-based "Sailor Moon" fan base as a whole and not just part of it. After all, females weren't the only ones watching, reading, and enjoying "Sailor Moon" back in the day. Just as good news as the fact that both men and women can find for their genders, shirts showing women from the DC Unvierse.

For some reason, the shirt left out Artemis the white cat. Looking forward to seeing if any new shirt options for men come up in the future. Besides, who knows if there will be a shirt showing just Artemis, Tuxedo Mask, or any of the four Negaverse men.

I am SO excited about this. Not to go into TMI, but I'm a busty female and there is no way I can fit into the girl's sizes at the store, I tried one on and the Sailor Senshi looked like they were a reflection in a fun house mirror. Now I can support Sailor Moon, nothing makes me happier as a lifelong fan!

I think I'd like to pick one up just because it'll probably be one of the few Sailor Moon products more-so targeted at the male side. Lol.

I'm gonna agree with Celes on here. Hopefully the men's sizes will fit us more full figured women out there that can't fit in those small girls junior sizes that Hot Topic has of the current Sailor Moon shirts!
And for this, I am very excited!

This may be the dumbest idea in licensed T-shirts...ever. Why would you buy this unless you are trying to make a statement about gender roles? (IE- Advertising it) No self-respecting heterosexual male would wear this.

The bigger issue is that there are apparently men that shop at Hot Topic.

And no, it's not about being gay, or being a hipster, it's about lack of self respect.

I'm the only one I know around who actually bought this in a store:



Therefore, I doubt many guys would buy that T-shirt in a store. Laughing

Not my idea for a Sailor Moon shirt for men. I was thinking of individual shirts each with a different Sailor Warrior on it, another with Sailor Uranus & Neptune about to kiss, and one with Tuxedo Mask on it with a caption saying "This guy gets all of the women".

But that's just my suggestion, cause I'm not buying that shirt anytime soon.

THIS. I found the junior sizes and all of them in both stores I visited were XS. I recently picked up both an Adventure Time Shirt and Pikachu.
This will go great in my t-shirt collection! Now if they would just get Regular Show shirts...

I have this cd. I'm excited to know i'm not the only one who owns it. Do you by chance have a copy of PK 2BA Master as well?

But back on topic. I'm happy to see Sailor Moon starting to come back. I'll still hold out hope that I will one day get legitimate copy of Stars. I won't hold my breath.
