Magnificent Century / Muhteşem Yüzyıl

                                     Muhteşem Yüzyıl

This is a Turkish series about Kanuni Sultan Suleyman’s life in the times of Ottoman Empire. You can see how Hurrem Sultan who used to be insignificant odalisque changed the Palace’s order and gained power with wicked games she played. Line in every historical drama, you can also see games of throne and secret plans in this one, too. You may see a lot, it makes you even stressed. The series has 4 seasons and nearly in 150 country, it aired (is still airing some of them). Is criticised for not telling the real story, showing the an emperor of a big empire when always enjoying himself and telling a story this old in a really detailed way even though it is in very old times to know that much about it etc. If you like historical dramas, if you can watch series this long and stay calm despite this much injustice these series are for you. The cast is very large, I will try to introduce the main ones. By the way, I felt like I should tell you this, everyone in the series is handsome or beautiful, really!

Sailor Moon / Bishōjo Senshi Sailor Moon / 美少女戦士セーラームーン /

                                                          Sailor Moon
 

I started to watch again our beloved childhood anime, Sailor Moon, which made most of us run home to watch.And I decided to post about it season by season. So let’s start to talk about our clumsy Usagi, Our cat Luna which knows everything and our handsome Tuxedo Mask, Mamoru Chiba and remember our memories!

Sailor Moon is an anime which adapted from the manga series. The anime and manga both sold to other countries.

In this season, clumsy but pretty Usagi learns that she is Sailor Moon from a cat named Luna which she saved from the children. Because she wants to be a normal girl, at first she doesnt want to be Sailor Moon but later she accepts the duty and wants to protect her loved ones. Along the season, other planets’ Sailors joins Usagi. And, of course, whenever she is in trouble Tuxedo Mask appears with a red rose and a spanish music playing in background.

In this season, the purpose of Sailors are to find and protect the princess  and to find silver crystal. They have to fight the dark king who spreads the evil to the World and also wants to find the crystal.

Usagi Tsukino – Sailor Moon – A girl who is Clumsy, cry-baby but also she approaches people with love.

 

                                                      Mamoru Chiba- Our handsome Tuxedo Mask

                                                               

Ami Mizuno – Sailor Mercury -  Very hardworking and top student

Rei Hino – Sailor Mars – She lives with her grandfather in a temple and she senses some situations.

                                                                                    

Makoto Kino – Sailor Jupiter – Wonderful cook and fighter

Minako Aino  – Sailor V – She joins them as Sailor Venus

                                                                                       

Luna – A cat which lives with Usagi and helps, finds and guides her and the others.

                                            Artemis – Just lile Luna helps the others and lives with Minako
                                                                                                         
                               

Spoilers!!!

I watched with joy when Usagi and Mamoru bickers without knowing their identities. Full Moon faced Usagi as Mamoru calls her, is very surprised when she learns that Tuxedo Mask whom she is in love with is Mamoru. Mamoru has lost his memories and parents when he is a child. He goes to help Sailor moon because of his dreams It was very beautiful when Mamoru remembered that Sailor Moon is Princess Serenity, he is Prince Endymion and their love from the past, and they fight for each other.

I enjoy watching the scenes about Mamoru fights with Sailor moon because he is possessed by Dark Kingdom, again. It was very beautiful that the emphasis on friendship between the girls, their fighting for each other and when Sailor Moon tries to beat Dark Kingdom with just the power of her friends’ souls. At the end of the season, Sailor Moon’s wish was to be a normal person. And later they returned to the earth and forgot about what happened until second season. The thing which made me bored while watching was that in the successive episodes, the fighting with the monsters was always in the same way. The episodes which I like the best were the last episodes includes the big  fight.

                             

“For Love and Justice, the pretty sailor suited soldier Sailor Moon! In the name of the moon I will punish you!”

  Tsuki ni kawatte oshioki yo!

Bonus!

The generic which we remembered the best!
