<How to Reboot Girl Power>

Now, I'll be the first to acknowledge that the micro-mini skirts and slender figures of the Sailor Scouts are attributes indicative of Sailor Moon creator Naoko Takeuchi's artistic style. But it doesn't detract from the fact that animators have the choice to draw the female form however they want, and consistently, they choose an exaggerated, super slim form that can instill weird body image issues in kids. More problematic is when hypersexuality comprises the whole character of a female-fronted heroine. If you create a one-dimensional female character, nobody's going to be properly invested in her story.
