i dont understand why they keep diverting the plot from manga .. Nephrite supposed to be eliminated with a lightning blast from Makoto's tiara attack.. Thats what has happened in the manga.. similarly, jadeite should have already been killed by sailor mars in episode 3..

alright animation and pacing stuff are good enough but the fact that they change the story arc is a complete disappointment..

The creators said they were adding Nako's original idea's,that she didn't have time to put in the original manga.They said they were going to follow the original story.Not that it was going to be exactly like the manga.Besides this is an adaption,not the manga.So is going to have changes to it regardesly.Certain things can work in a comic,but work horriable animated.

Definitely the best episode so far. Not many derp faces and the pacing is consistent. The most well-directed so far.

Makoto is awesome and so is Ami Koshimizu! Definitely the perfect voice for the perfect character.

Looks like I'd be seeing more Nephrite. Thought Zoisite would appear. Since this is Jupiter's Debut and the Imperial jewel arc. Arcade guy who used his powers get plushies from the machine...Anyway

Sailor Jupiter YAY!!!!!

Nephrite has fallen in love with Sailor Jupiter : 0

This epd was amazing! We get to see my favorite girl: Makoto/Jupiter these 3 weeks were long, but it was well worth the wait! I also agree with everyone, the animation was leaps and bounds above the last 2 epds. I can't wait to watch the next epd! Also it looks like Sailor Venus has an anal bead whip!

HUUUUUUNNNNGGGGGG! Makoto Best Girl

Glorious Titties Nuff Said!

Okay, 3 weeks in once now? Thank you very much

I wonder why Nephrite some remember about Sailor Jupiter's eyes, it is because he and she have a special feeling of each other in the past?

In original manga, Jadeite suposed to be dead when he burned by Sailor Mars, but he survived. He also attracted to her.

I have a picture of Sailor's with the guardian of Prince Endymion, I wonder if Takeuchi-sensei wants the other sailor have a boyfriend too in this anime

The number of episodes is bother me too, 26 episode, if this anime followed the original manga until Dark Kingdom lose, then 13 episode is enough. In that number of episode, I just can't help but thinking they want to insert Black Moon Arc too

No it is not 3 weeks in once. It is the first and third Saturday of the month, last month had 5 Saturdays so there was a 3 weeks gap. Next episode will be broadcast in two weeks ( September 20th)

Ehh. It was ok. I like the original episode more. By the time they had Jupiter they were already looking for crystals. So are we getting to see Venus next episode? Probably not. ):

PLEASE can someone tell them to stop doing those lame black images of the characters that are at the beginning/middle/end? They aren't good at all.

Do you mean the Artworks? Episode Eyecatches like:

Well the one in the middle of the episodes are standards in the TV versions of Animes and act as interlude for advertisements. Here it's simply as spacer. The first one though give us the Episode title, the last one, that the Episode has ended ;p I doubt they take them out.

I remember my favorite senshi way back when was Jupiter, so I felt kinda nostalgic this episode. That transformation and Jupiter Thunderbolt was pretty badass.

Yes. Precure at least has good mid/beginning/end cards. Even past Sailor Moons did. I just don't like the current ones at all.

This is episode 25 classic.

Lunch scene:
Classic was in front of some bushes.
This time they had a bench... basically the same things happened as before.

Arcade:
Classic, Rei was with them and was fighting with Usagi... kind of sucks that wasn't in this version.

Luna didn't tell Mako how to transform in this version... how did she know what to call out?... Like the others, the new transformation had similar themes to the original (spinning with her arm outstretched).

The monster was totally different though... didn't find the classic episode to match... though the bride thing seems familiar...

Supreme Thunder -> Jupiter Thunderbolt
(Usagi thinks she said Supreme Sundae in classic, lol)

Nice episode. I actually liked Makoto's transformation...although that flower attack thingy was kinda weird. Regardless, Sailor Jupiter is such a boss!

Man that demon bride thing was creepy o_o

Finally back after being hiatus for three episodes!!

Makoto is awesome! She's strong and fearless, yet she has the heart of a maiden!!

That douchebag will regret leaving Makoto back then.

Sailor Jupiter's transformation is electrifying!!! I love seeing her summon lightning and throwing it like she was Zeus XD

Looks like Nephrite knows Sailor Jupiter or at least have seen her.

So now we have 4 senshi's! All that's left is Venus!!!

Can't wait for the next episode! It's good to be back for Sailor Moon!!!

Alrighty, it keeps getting better and funnier. It kind of annoys me how it feels like they copy and pasted exact fairy tail tunes. I understand it's the same composer but he made naruto sound unique. I don't want to think of fairy tail while watching sailor moon :P

So much fan service for 90's series fans: the transformation, the personality and every detail is well worked on Makoto's presentation episode, her strengths where explored almost fully in just one ep, nice done. And the first conversation on the school with Usagi was nicely presented, that's Usagi in ther purest way to be (here on crystal) and that's Makoto meeting someone like Usagi, great scene.

Just one thing I didn't like it: Luna already knows Usagi is not prepared to be a guardian as she even tell Usagi, so, why does she make her the leader of the guardians? I don't think that's logic from a viewer perspective (or it's just me maybe), I don't like this desition from Luna because she is not that naive, yes, she trusts Usagi, but because of the main plot seriety that is too much to risk, but maybe I'm forgetting something and they will explain this desition later, if not, it will be a little plot hole for the sake of the trama.

Overall, excelent episode (from a Makoto's fan), can wait to see how they will present THAT scene at the end of the first season.
