I've come to the conclusion that 90s Toei did not understand the assignment when writing Mamoru's character.

90s anime Mamoru is uh very inconsistent. Admittedly I'm only on episode 64 but come on. He's just so... different. Like one minute he's his kind princely self and the next he's insulting Usagi and breaking her heart. His communication is awful.

Like I'm not kidding when I say I've seen more toxic Mamoru traits than good. And that's not necessarily cuz they made him that much of a douche. Its because they won't let him be happy with Usagi for more than a singular episode. He's either brainwashed and beating the crap out of her or overreacting to things for no reason and hurting her. But yea he's also just kinda a jerk.

Another thing. Mamoru was a high school student. He'd wait for Usagi so they could meet before school. HE'S NOT THAT MUCH OLDER THAN HER. It borderlines on creepy that Mamoru is already in college while she's a 2nd year in middle school. Like- they have nothing to relate to other. I'm surprised they even encounter each other as much as they do. 90s Mamoru has to be a lot older than manga Mamoru by the end of series. That's when he's supposed to be in college. Just yeesh.

And what's with them not showing his connection to the Four Kings?? They're supposed to be a lot closer to him than they were in this anime. He barely has the powers that he's supposed to have and he might as well just be a normal human because his incredibly strong connection to the Earth is nonexistent.

Maybe they explore that in the Dream arc further but tbh I'm not even sure it will be the arc I know it to be. Black Moon arc is already nothing like the one I know. Which idk why I'm still surprised by this. I'm not watching this for manga accuracy.

Anyway yea

Also his fashion sense is way better in the manga just saying
