Transforming Sailor Moon was the first naked girl I had seen

[Glizdka]

Is my sentence correct?

"Transforming Sailor Moon was the first naked girl I had seen."

Would changing was to is change the meaning?

 

[Tarheel]

I would say:

Transforming Sailor Moon is the first naked girl I ever saw.

Is my sentence correct?

"Transforming Sailor Moon was the first naked girl I had seen."

Would changing was to is change the meaning?

The sentence is correct if it's set in a past time frame. If you change was to is and had seen to saw, preferably with the adverb Tarheel suggested, you change it to a present time frame. The second part refers to the the past in either case.

Is "Transforming Sailor Moon" really her name?

Is "Transforming Sailor Moon" really her name?

No, her name is just Sailor Moon. She has the ability to transform in different ways, during which she appears kind of naked. See here:

Then you have to rephrase it. It sounds like that's her name. You could say something like:

Sailor Moon, who can tranform her appearance, was the first naked girl I had ever seen."

You could make a quick fix by using an article at the beginning, like this:

The transforming Sailor Moon was the first naked girl I ever saw.

That's odd — I can't think why.

Piscean's spot on. As the cops say, 'Move on, folks – nothing to see here'.

Something to do with copyright, apparently.

You might notice, Glizdka, that some of our members are not exactly among the biggest shojo manga fans in the world.

I'm not a fan of manganimotakizm either; she was the first one nonetheless.

The first time I saw a naked girl was in Sailor Moon's transformation.

 

[jutfrank]

The first time I saw a naked girl was in Sailor Moon's transformation.

You too, huh?

 

[Glizdka]

The first time I saw a naked girl was in Sailor Moon's transformation.

That's precisely what I needed.

What ... seeing a naked girl, or getting Tdol's rephrase?
