We all know Sailor Moon's become a rather iconic series as far as anime go. I'm sure we've all seen nods to it here and there or blatant references to the series. The sightings and references span the globe, and here we can post up our findings.
Today, I present a somewhat obvious nod from Silent Hill 3:
From the wand to the sparkles to what I believe is the word "henshin" in there - well, it's rather obvious. Thank you, Silent Hill, for not only bringing me those damn (and quite seriously possibly the true canon) UFO endings, but this weirdass shit. Thank you.

Tonight, more sightings for your pleasure: From Jeopardy, obviously. I recall seeing this one and being like ZOMG I KNOW THIS SAILOR MOON BITCHES BETTER KNOW THIS which, thankfully, the person who answered did. There's also a sighting from one of my favorite cutesy shows, Pucca. (somehow I've gotten my dad hooked onto this show which both frightens and amuses me - especially when he tries the theme song ><)

Not a reference per say but I think it's a cool thing when two aspects of my childhood meet up: IT'S SAILOR VENUS A-AND TOBYYYYY TOBYYYYYYYY *shot* What can I say I'm a big Unico geek CB

*shudders* though I normally like cosplay, you just opened a door for me...
A friend and I are guilty of it but we are also convincing.

Anyway, more references and shit. There's a Ten Thousand Waves hotel thing near Santa Fe, NM that has a Sailor Moon suite (costing about $200 or something a night, I think). It really doesn't have much to do with Sailor Moon at all - it seems to have just been named to fit in with a theme of spacey ... lunar ... whatever names, possibly also to draw in devout fans just to say "I SLEPT IN SAILOR MOON DURHUR." websiteAlso, keep a close enough eye out in the show W.I.T.C.H. and you will see an Usagi look-alike at least twice wearing a school uniform closely resembling Minako's - of course, this is a show with a rather similar to Sailor Moon in the sense of "ZOMG MAGICAL GIRLS TEAM WITH ELEMENTAL POWERS A-AND THERE'S A GUY WHO'S KINDA RETARDED BUT HE'S A LOOKER AND OH HERE'S AN OBNOXIOUS CREATURE WHO KINDA GIVES US INFO WHILE WE FIGHT EVIL." (check 0:44 for her in the background, in line) (8:10's the money shot but it's only for a split second~) If you even bothered to kinda pay attention to that second video then you can pretty much see the resemblance to Sailor Moon on a few levels :T

I'm a devout fan of W.I.T.C.H. and I noticed right off the bat that character, despite her brief appearances... I love W.I.T.C.H.
The price is right model... to be honest, I've seen better. (but natasha yi won't dress like any senshi for some reason.
I have other refrences but I'm kinda short on time. I'll get back to this when I come home from work.

@moon yagami: Yeah, I assumed they did the costume wrong for copyright reasons or something. Since technically they're not "stealing" the rights to the costume if it's in the opposite colors.

I wasn't commenting on the wrong costume, I was stating that natasha yi (a former price is right model) never dressed like a senshi... despite having the perfect body (in my opinion) for it.
