usagi or serena?

[Yami_Puppi]

Definately Usagi, I like the original Japanese a WHOLE lot more then the dub. Plus I think Usagi fits her better then Serena.  

[Pnytenshi]

if it was between the manga or anime usagi.... manga usagi.... she was a bit smarter and more elegant...

and with the anime.... I like the First voice that was Terry Macmillan(sp?)... but she had to get pregnant... that's why they had to change the voices... grrrrrrrr...  

[Hatsumigirl]

I like Usagi better cause it means rabbit and I love rabbits.  

[emo boys .......]

usagi sounds kool but i grow up use to serena  

[Tsukiusada]

Usagi is better because it`s original name and it sounds good domokun  

[Atalantis]

Serena probably because I basically grew up knowing that was her name.  

[Lewa-chan]

Mm, I grew up with Serena as well, but Usagi was never intended to be anyone other than Usagi, even if I was originally used to Serena.

I prefer the Japanese names because that is what Takeuchi-sama named them.

personally, i call her Bunny because when i watched it in Russian, that's what they called Usagi. Now i know why....I know someone who is named Serena, and i think it is a pretty name!

ever since i found out her japanese name, i have gotten into the habit of calling her usagi. why? cause america sucks -,-

Same with me. heart heart I love the Japanese version sooooo much better!! heart heart

I prefer Usagi. This is probably because after watching the last series, Sailor Stars, I got so used to hearing her called Usagi (or reading it razz )

So I'd have to say that I prefer Usagi (rabbit)  

[Luamervara]

both are good. Usagi means rabbit which connects to the story of the Rabbit pounding Mochi on the moon.

The story goes that the Rabbit, the fox, the monkey and squirrel *I thinkt here was a squirel*
Came across a straving old man. To feed him, the other animals *except the rabbit.* fetched a bit of food for him.

But the rabbit, having done nothing felt bad for not being able to help offered itself to the man.

With that the rabbit jumps into the fire giving it's s ultimate sarifice to save another- it's very life.

the Moon God felt in awe by the creature's sacrifice that he goes down and takes the Rabbit's spirit away to the moon to live eteneraly in peace. The rabbit makes Mochi in the craters of the moon *Believes that to be a type of medical.*

That's the gist of the story behind Usagi.


Serena is fine as it's another varitation of her past life name, Serenity.

usagi... biggrin  

[Kaidan]

"Serena" always makes me think of how they say it in the dub...SerEEEEEEEEEEEEEna. So it must die. Usagi it is.

I call all of them by their Japanese names. The whole 'Americanization' thing bothers me to no end. I could rant for hours, but I don't feel like it today xD
