| Some more daring cinematography here as well as the only good romance in any Sailor Moon series up to this point. I have yet to see the director's later series Revolutionary Girl Utena, but from what I know of it this episode feels like a precursor to it in style. For instance, the melodramatic surrealism; Uranus and Neptune suddenly have a helicopter with which they fly to an inexplicable half-finished, totally deserted cathedral (the architectural details of which are fanciful; a butterfly stained glass?) in the middle of the ocean. |
| You're right, Fronzel, this is certainly a precursor to Revolutionary Girl Utena. As a matter of fact, this whole season is. But especially this episode. And here is where his strength comes through; emotional power via surrealism. Even though he tempered the impact with excessive humor, you can still see the power behind scenes with the archers at the side shooting down any who dare pass. The combination of desperation and doom. Delicious melodrama. But, yeah, honestly, I would have preferred it if only Michiru had the talisman. To have Haruka agonize over whether to sacrifice the person she cares about most in order to save the world, that could have been absolutely tragic and beautiful. Instead, Haruka had one too and simply ended up going unconscious. Wasted opportunity IMO. |

I laughed when eludia stopped the boombox after she was done playing the organ. it's just something you would see in revolutionary girl utena XD good point though, got those vibes... so haruka and michiru are like the romeo and juliet of the sailor soldiers right now? :( that episode was really sad |
| And now all is revealed. Anyone notice the new opening? Jupiter is back...and now it seems real obvious where the last talisman is. Things got real serious real quick. |
 |
| Well, this explains why they don't exist in the future... |
| Wow, they did a really great job setting a somber and serious mood with this episode. Somehow I doubt we've seen the last of Haruka and Michiru, especially since the title was posed as a question. So Sailor Moon is the messiah? That makes sense I guess, but I hoped they would go with a less obvious choice. I have to wonder why they made Michiru's death so "clean" - being pierced by hundreds of bullets/arrows should at least cause a little bit of bleeding. But I guess that would have been too gruesome, at least considering she's one of the "good guys". Anyway, great episode! I love it! |
| This was definitely the best episode of the season so far. Simply amazing. I'm glad I watched a good portion of Utena before seeing this episode, I feel it enhances it. |
 |
| Style, atmoshere and drama were heaved to the next level, really impressive episode that also gave me a good lol when Eugeal stopped "playing" the Organ. The fact that the relationship between Uranus and Neptun is so engaging was of course also essential. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Oh shit Pluto's back - and Neptune and Uranus gone? Haruka and Michiru really do feel like a more loving couple than Usagi and Mamoru - probably because of the lack of a terrible breakup arc where they make one look like a comically stupid asshole S really is a more mature season than the previous 2 with a darker tone and a murkier sense of morality stemming from Neptune and Uranus' dilemma Very stylish episode too |

| how poetic. They really do have pure hearts though, willing to give themselves for their talismans to be used, fantastic episode. |
 |
| it's really ironic that two of the talismans are inside haruka and michiru. a very good episode. |
| ''Touch the darkness inside me'' |
| I really hate it when the episode title spoils the episode. |
