Usagi is in love~

I'm not fond of the Death Busters tbh, seems pretty stereotypical for antagonists.
Chiba-usa got more screen time than I had thought. Glad that she was able to connect a bit with her new friend though. I thought the violin play was decent.

Not good episode.
Disgusting random gender bendering, Haruka in ugly grandma's dress (and why Usagi knew about this dress and Haruka's female side at the beginning of episode?), lame and lazy animated fight.
I enjoyed Michiru/Sailor Neptune look and voice acting. And ChibiUsa was really cute.

That HotaruxChibiusa Scene was so sweet and the Helicopter Scene wow. Chibiusa got shared so many valuable information lol. Minako using her Sailor V Compact to transform damn yeah! And Ami finally showing her next Attack Aqua Mirage. So much similarity to the version from Ami-chan Special, I just love it:



And at the end World Shaking and Deep Submerge OMG I got a Nostalgia overdose right now x__ x

*Warning spoiler for the next episode*
This will be a horribly loooong week... *sob* :'C

I crying...
Sailors Uranus and Neptune introduction reminded me how much I like old version...
that music... crying forever... because new one don't have it what first one have
and these attacks...
It hurts!
I had no idea how much this will be hurt!
No matter how they gonna animate their attacks...
Ogata Megumi's "World Shaking" is the best!
Wow... this really take time before I get used to new Sailor Uranus ;(

But...
damn it...
HarukaxUsagi scenes!
I'm ready for me! *.*

I'm so in love with ending theme! <3
I can't really explain, but I feel like I already listen music like this before...
that style... where I heard music it?
Can somebody tell me composer of ending song? :)

Starting from the animation, it's stable in quality and still pretty, thank goodness! I loved Usagi and Mamoru's awkwardness between them, I can't wait to see how it will evolve next week! Hotaru and Chibiusa together are so damn sweet <3 Minako was hilarious, so glad for this Sailor V throwback <3 Mercury's new attack was so beautiful, it totally reminds me of her attack in SuperS' special <3 Haruka and Michiru are surely stepping up their game, they get more and more screentime and what I also enjoyed is that their attacks weren't fully shown, like there are still things to be shown about them (not that I was waiting for the attacks to think that lol). OMG WE GOT A PREVIEW OF THE HOLY GRAIL, next week's episode is gonna be interestiiing ;P

That's the 90's anime advantage over manga/Crystal - antagonists often hadsome kind of reason for being evil, they weren't just evil for being evil.

Gender-bending (omg, it sounds like some kind of magic, like from that anime about air-benders [Avatar?] xD) was the best part of this episode (and manga act). I love how queer Haruka is in this version!

I also like the old music better, it had more "soul" in it. Don't worry about the attacks, new soldiers took everyone by surprise, so they showed only part of their attacks, I bet we'll se them in their full glory. ;)

I also like this tension, because it makes Usagi's and Mamoru's love less sweet and perfect and more human. Who wouldn't be charmed and confused like Usagi, when some super-hot person starts to flirt with them. xD

Also, I'm glad that we've seen only 1 transformation in this episode... :P

Yay for more Michiru and Haruka! We're seeing them lots without pushing aside other characters, which is nice to see.

The Talismans are obviously very important McGuffins, seeing as all the Inner Senshi dreamt about it and Michiharu are looking for it.

I feel like the latter have a vested interest in Chibiusa, which will probably come to involve Usagi at a later date.

Well it wasn't a masterpiece, but still a enjoyable special. Many praised the improved animation quality in the transformation and the attack. Seems like the quality in the SMC version is better, than the old special one :)

Especially the violin part, I just love it. The old OST has such a dramatic vibe and gives the OUTers a characteristic and OUTstanding style. Still hoping for a remixed version of the old Uranus/Neptune transformation OST in SMC :x *fingers crossed* Or at least something on par.

Aww, I love it, one of my favourite tracks of all time <3 I miss Ogata's "world shaking" as well ;_; But I do like the Crystal version of her too, I can feel seiyuu puts her whole heart into this character.

And to be honest, I've never been this big fan of "manga" Haruka, like her fondness for leather and skirts. Manly personality and look suits her a lot better imo.

Other than that - sweet episode, can't wait for the next one. I loved that bit with embarrassed Mamoru, when he wanted to invite Usagi to Michiru's concert :3
Also, I know it's just me, but Crystal's Kaolinite looks SO MUCH like Melisandre from GoT I don't even, lolz.

Gotta love Minako sneaking out an using her Sailor V device to transform into a Mugen Academy.
Minako is life, Minako is love

The Chibiusa scenes were quite interesting. How she heals Hotaru with her crystal, then she gets a ride on a helicopter. So we know a bit more about Hotaru's, mainly what he does.

World Shaking and Deep Submerge, such a nostalgic memory. We've seen 3 of the big outer senshi moves, Dead Scream being the other one. The hype was worth the wait, Deep Submerge is my favorite senshi attack so it was very nice to see it again.
I'm hoping we get to see Sailor Saturn's attack, pretty much forgot the name of it.

Overall very good episode.

Very high chances, like with Jupiters Sparkling Wide Pressure Attack, that Plutos Dead Scream will be remade to look like the 90' Anime version. Her SMC Season 2 Attack, waving her Garnet Rod around, was ridiculous ;P We'll see in a couple of episodes, same as

This is, for lack of a better term, retarded. I'll give it one more episode.

Usagi was always a little curious about Haruka. Definitely some of her gayest moments. And Michiru was constantly flirting with Mamoru and he likes it tbh. They both just want to fuck some rich celebrity lesbians.

I'm having a hard time liking this.

At first I thought it was good. The animation looked a little better, they got rid of CGI transformation, it felt like they were making the characters more fun, the other Scouts were helping in the battles, and even the story seems alright. Still I'm not enjoying it.

First the battles are way to short. I know they're trying to make this like the manga and to what I have seen they are super short, but I feel for an anime they should make the fights last a bit longer. They're just beating them with really no effort at all. It also feel's like they're trying to put a lot into 1 episode. I can't explain it well, just felt like they put in a lot of stuff in this episode.

I'm going to finish it, but I'm not going to like it.

About that, you probably already know, but just in case for the rest, the person who played most, if not all, the violin parts was Vanessa Mae, a very talented violinist and very popular at that time. That´s why the melody sounded like glory.

I didn´t know she was the one playing those melodies until several years later XP. It was a jawdrop moment for me XP.

I can't quite remember if Haruka kisses Usagi on the original anime. I really doubt she did though. I know for sure Haruka and Usagi did have their moments, and so did Michiru and Mamoru but not as much as this new Crystal series.

And yes, all of this did happy from the manga. o uo b
Well the whole UsagixHaruka MamoxMichiru thing. Kisses and all :v

There's even a scene where in Sailor Moon Stars (last season) in the manga where Minako has her elbow on Rei and she's staring at the starlights (when they were men anyhow) and tells them "We don't need men"
that was the Tokyopop translation though, not sure about the new translation.

But they said that I think because they were saying they only need their princess..? But yeah kinda still a shouja-ai thing but it could also be loyalty to Usagi/serenity. xD

And with the official release of the OP, "New Moon ni Koishite", I am one happy fan.

Usagi constantly thinking about the kiss is hilarious. So typical and very Usagi. Also, I love the silliness in this season! It's like an homage to the 90's anime and the manga and I love it very much.


The gender confession with Haruka is interesting since she's both a male and female.

I'm surprised that not a lot of people pointed out Uranus' "cowgirl" appearance at the beginning of the episode that wasn't supposed to happen until the end of this episode...

Another issue I have with this anime is how they pace it. Like when they arrived from the helicopter in the city, Usagi was already magically there. Do they teleport or do they just fly super fast?

Awesome episode! It's so cool sailor Uranus and sailor Neptune appears together. They did take astrology in consideration, because Uranus is the planet of spontanious (the kiss, sudden changes) and Neptune is so much like a deep ocean (she even kind of says that). Yes, I love it. Because I'm into astrology, and I can see the connetion here to the series.
