While finalizing sprites, I've been going through and exploring options before calling things 100% done. After recalling Minako's school uniform (Shiba Koen Junior High) colors from PGSM promotional images and the introduction for the show, I decided to test them out on her sprite.![]() Left is anime/manga colors, center is PGSM colors with black socks, and right is PGSM colors with socks the color of the skirt. I personally like the PGSM colors myself. It gives her a bit of an upgrade and makes the colors more different from the Juuban Junior High school uniform colors. PGSM color reference: ![]() Thoughts? Opinions? |

I'll agree with the PGSM colors. It looks nice and gives a bit of a difference from the standard Juuban uniform. Go with the black socks to. It looks a little better. Here's a question; what are you doing with Rei's uniform? Are the colors the same as ?

I agree with PGSM. I think it makes it look more realistic. |

Huh. Didn't remember Rei's uniform being that different. I do like the red line and slightly darker brown.![]() So I guess I'll do a poll for Rei's outfit too. For the Juuban Junior High uniform I'm sticking to the anime/manga because I like the big bow better. XD In PGSM they made their outfits too much like Minako's school uniform. This brings up another point. In the manga I know, not sure about the anime, the girls are normally seen with short socks, yet in these PGSM images they tend to be wearing long socks. How should this be handled? I was thinking that they can have longer socks with their fall/winter uniforms (long sleeved) and then the short socks with their spring/summer uniforms (short sleeved.) What does everyone think about that? |

It makes sense to have long socks when it is cold and short socks when it is warm. As for Rei I'm leaning towards the slightly darker colors of the PGSM uniform. Also I agree with sticking with the anime/manga for the juuban uniforms. It would be a little silly if they looked to much like Minako's uniform. |

That's what I'm thinking about the socks. And I feel justified in keeping the Juuban uniform bow because they probably changed it for the Live Action because the large bows looked silly in real life. But since this is a game it's all good.

I like the black socks with the PGSM colors. I also like the seasonal sock idea. =] |

PGSM is such a different animal from the anime/manga, though. There was a reason why they had to make all the changes they did (to everything!)...personally I don't like the change in Minako's socks. It just adds to how "dark" her character was in PGSM versus the anime/manga. They seem like two totally different people. That and, did we ever really see Minako go to school in PGSM? Not much, if at all. Promo shots should hardly count. Fact is, the idea that her uniform wasn't all that different from Juuban was done on purpose, because Naoko couldn't have had Minako going to the same school as Usagi, Ami, and Makoto all along during the first arc when "Sailor V' being the secret voice Luna talked to was still a secret. Her uniform, I think, was meant to be a nod: "I'm with you, even though I can't be with you all the time." She's got the similar uniform and goes to school close by, but she's not one of the "originals" from Juuban (minus Rei). She ends up expressing her desire to go to the same school as the others repeatedly in the manga anyway, so it makes sense that she'd want her uniform to look more like the others, assuming the regulayions don't just have it that way to begin with (uniforms give a school a distinctive, often envious look, so other schools will want to emulate it. Is Juuban emulating Shiba Koen or the other way around?) Long story short: white socks! The individuality bits can come out when they're transformed. Oh, but seasonal socks make sense.

PGSM scheme, most definitely. It seperates her more from the other girls, and also she just looks really pretty in the darker color. |

To be honest, I like the white socks better. Still, there's no reason the white socks can't be an alternative clothing when that feature is implemented. |

This was definitely harder to decide than Rei's. While you are stike good points with the PGSM colors, I went back to basics and chose the anime uniform. Minako is cheerful and outgoing-- the brighter colors suit her. :) But I'm happy either way, really. |

I don't know - the dark socks are really cute on Minako-chan... But the orange tie looks like it's just due to colour levels in that promo image, since the top image has it very red... But still slightly more orange than Juuban... Um, if their hair is non-japanese coloured (that is, not black/dark brown) in their uniforms, then the white socks would work better... |
