My Adventures with Superman is one of the new Man of Steel animation projects, and one of its scenes seems to pay homage to Sailor Moon after introducing a Magical Girl transformation.
If you’re a fan of the genre (or even Super Sentai), then you know that one of their signature features is the “transformation” for their characters when they show off their “heroic/magical” aspect. That’s exactly what the new Superman DC comic series just did as Clark Kent goes through a stage full of light and glitter before becoming the strongest man on Earth.
Is Superman dropping references to Sailor Moon and the world of magical girls? We don’t know for sure if this was intentional, but the anime fan community has definitely found references to the new Man of Steel transformation.
What do you think of Superman’s Sailor Moon transformation? He’s not the only DC Comics character to have a crossover with the anime world, as the next anime adaptation of Harley Quinn and the Joker in Iskeai Suicide Squad was shown a couple of days ago.
On the magical side, Sailor Moon is about to hit Japanese cinema screens with the premiere of Sailor Moon Cosmos, which plans to reveal the results of a new adaptation of Sailor Moon Crystal.
