| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Princess Serenity wants Marika and her crew to help her find a golden ghost ship. In the meantime they keep Serenity close by as a student at Marika's school, and Serenity is adored by all the other students. Eventually a ship from Serenity's fleet arrives in their system with information about the golden ghost ship, but when they rendezvous they find out that the ship is being engaged by other Serenity ships. It appears Serenity has factions within the kingdom. On another note, I loved watching Marika and Serenity after Misa's crazy driving. |
| Starting to look promising. Surely, something has to give way soon. |
 |
| I liked the look of Serenity and Marika's faces when they were at the airport after Misa's deadly driving, Misa is the new Yukari. Marika might end up in the middle of a complicated situation with the two factions of Serenity's Kingdom and I wonder what's in the ghost ship that makes Serenity want to see it. |

Nesutoru-san said: The name and hairstyle made me wonder if Serenity was a Sailor Moon reference, even her personality is like Sailor Moon. |
|
Nesutoru-san said: Haha, I didn't even think about that, but she does resemble her and the name too... |
| The homage is confirmed and her hair is different in the novel http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2012-02-25/bodacious-space-pirates-gives-princess-serenity-odango-hair The studio wanted to give her the Sailor Moon look. |
|
| So much homage...I also noted the "Harold Lloyd" insurance company. Who knew that silent movie stars ended up in the insurance business? On a more sinister note, I can actually think of a business case for insurance companies hiring pirates--a little bit of risk helps keep people paying premiums, and by hiring the pirates the insurance companies can manage their level of payout. Sort of like having both the fire department and the arsonists on your payroll. And it seems obvious that the government of Morningstar is using the pirates for clandestine security missions and black ops. Plausible deniability at its finest--"honest, it wasn't us, it was those pesky pirates..." |

Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |

| Serenity does looks cute thought, a princess life must be boring. Better than last episode, it was funny on Misa crazy driving. xD The next episode so going to become so much better and they back in school again. Chiaki is back too :D |

IKE~ MISA-CHAN RAAAAWR! *tires screeching* I liked this episode better than the last. The Princess is mighty cute (and I quickly made the sailor-moon connection... the hairdo and 'serenity', just too obvious. Also, the Pirates as black ops forces for the government while there is no war actually makes sense. I like that. And I'm looking forward to next episode... btw, I'll have to reduce my rating for this anime by one when it's over, due to the annoying cliffhangers in EVERY EPISODE *hates* |

| how did she boarded their ship in such an outfit?! with that bells or whatever was making those sounds and it's clean :) but she is likable and somehow not typical princess - scene in car was great so it seems that pirates next to being entertainers serve also as support for local fleet somehow logical - they are faster, if there are some troubles they are expendable and give time to mobilize troops plus it looks like that introduction part is over and actual plot starts - nice :) ahh Schnitzer... so cute :) |

| Féantastic episode as usual, very down-to-earth, entertaining and brilliantly executed at the same time. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Finally we get some stuff going down. But from the preview, nothing too drastic happens. I still wish they'd just drop all this high school stuff. |

In all seriousness, however, I'm not totally sure what happened at the end, there. Mayhaps it's the fact that I'm watching this at 1 in the morning, but I couldn't figure out what the dogfight was supposed to signify... |

Theo333 said: So the first half seems like a throwaway part of the episode. Excessive introductions and mingling dialogue that can easily be taken out and you wouldn't be missing much. Just like parts of episode 3, 4, and 7. We also need to see Marika's motivations for helping her besides her obligation as a protagonist. Some comments on greed, or how her kingdom could affect Morningstar, or SOMETHING. And why is this ghost ship so important? We'll never escape Naboo. Excessive introductions? This is episode 8 and it is the very time the entire crew has been properly introduced. Ok maybe it went a little long but maybe they were making up for being so late. |

| Seems like there are lots of troubles in the Serenity Royal Palace. My guess is that they send of the princess the a privateers vessel to keep her save from harm tho the fleet which just formed before them could suggest that who ever wants to harm the princess has found her. Things look pretty interesting and i can't wait to see the conclusion of the next episode. |
| S**t hits the fan. |
 |
| I dont want to be in the same car with Misa. The princess sure is cute! |
zeroryoko1974 said: Seems the Moon Kingdom has expanded in the future lol Well, the Silver Millennium is in fact a space kingdom. Sailor Moon (Serenity) is in fact an alien princess... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| The episode went by pretty fast and ended on a cliffhanger again, I want more! Poor girls, the driving experience must have been similar to that of the Yukari Ride 4/5. |
Mogami-kun said: The episode went by pretty fast and ended on a cliffhanger again, I want more! Poor girls, the driving experience must have been similar to that of the Yukari Ride 4/5. Similar, but I get the impression that, unlike Yukari, Misa actually knows how to drive. ;) |
|
| Haha Misa drives like crazy!! XD I don't want to be in the same car with her. |
  |
| Nice episode, but another cliffhanger that is promising action. I hope that next episode will have some action. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Aww, I love that Sailor Moon homage. =) Good episode again. This turns out, to be one of the most positive anime surprises recently. At least for me. |
 |
| When i watched the first episode, in the intro sequence, i saw a glimpse of a girl who looked like princess serenity from sailor moon. and have been expecting her ever since. Now she appears, and she actually is a homage to princess serenity/sailor moon. Since sailor moon is one of my favorite anime's i was very pleased with it. Love mouretsu pirates so far, marika is an awesome character, and looking forward to more marika/gruier friendship :D. |
 |
| Ok now this is getting interesting, a real conflict arising. Theres multiple fractions in the Serenity royalty, :o I like this kind of plot. Looks to me like this is some sort of rebellion or something similar like that. Princess Gruier is a pretty likable character and cute too lol. Misa makes riding in a car scary. |
 |
| Ok. It seems that there's some heavy story coming up after a lot of training and preparation. Nice. What I still want to know is what the Princess' connection to Marika's dad is. Oh, and I missed Chiaki-chan. |

| Better than last weeks crap. Still pretty boring. I liked the Sailor Moon reference though :) 3/5 |
| This is starting to look a lot like sailor moon xD |
| Princess Serenity needs her own series. |
 |
| I like that new girl, she's scrappy. |
 |
| The princess is great! I really like her, it's interesting to find out more about royalty in space. Seems like there's some internal conflict in the royal family. |
| Princess Serenity, oh god how did I not figure that one out? Bad WolfWood bad. However after 8 episodes things are finally happening, meaning no more fake piracy, now we got real stuff happening. Its clear Serenity is hiding something, but I wonder how big. |
 |
| Oh wow that trespasser sure is one hell of a beautiful girl! Either way a new lovely character and some great development! I'm sure the next episode will be action packed! |
 |
| I look at Gruier and I see Sailor Moon XD |

zeroryoko1974 said: Seems the Moon Kingdom has expanded in the future lol Lol, that was funny. The princess is an interesting addition to the cast, beyond just being very cutish~~ |
 |
| So I guess the main plot now is going to find the Golden Ghost ship. Lol, Gruier does look like mini Chibusa with Usagi's Golden hair. Can't wait for the next one! |
| Omg Gruier looks exactly like Sailor Moon xD I'm glad we got an introduction for all the crew members Interesting, I wonder why her kingdom's ships would be fighting eachother |
