In the late 90s / early 2000s, there was a brief "hentai free" movement that spread through the anime internet. ๐พ
Basically you'd place a badge on the front page of your site to let visitors know there was no NSFW content to be found.i
Quite possibly my favorite panel in the whole manga. Sailor Venus takes out Queen Beryl and shows that the Senshi are equally capable. ๐งก๐ก๏ธ
Also, Minako is a badass.
