Oh damn that was sad. Even after that suffering, Hotaru still valued the friendship she shared with Chibiusa. Their friendship didn't last too long because of the circumstances but it was still beautiful. What a cruel world..

Those tears ;_; that confession ;_;
Super Chibiusa's battle design looks pretty imo.

The animation was a let down in this episode. But all the scenes of Mistress 9 as a Daimon [or whatever she is now lol] and Hotaru's disappearence were excellent, guess they kept the budget for those scenes. Now about the plot, I am actually shocked. I can't believe how dark and badass Sailor Moon was supposed to get. I love most of the 90's anime, especially S and Stars, but this is a whole new level. I have been enjoying Crystal very much personally, and I am glad to see were this is going, especially when I think how lame SuperS was in the 90's. The best things in this episode were definitely, Hotaru, Hotaru and oh... HOTARU! That scene with Chibiusa got me so much <3 Once again, I loved her in the 90's but now she just has to be one of my favourite characters, look at all the stuff she is doing. Ofc all that dark Mistress 9 moments were aaaawesomeee and I loved what's going on with Mamoru, I am curious to see what kind of a new power he felt within him. Such a shame only 2 episodes left :( Good things don't last.

What an episode Hotaru really didn't want mistress 9 to take anymore souls her fate truly was a sad one. Chibi usa is back in the fight along with the inner sailor scouts. today's transformation scene was 28 seconds rather short but then we got a brand new transformation sequence which was 45 seconds. Sailor Saturn next episode yes!

anyone want to take a guess at how many different kinds of faces mistress 9 made in this episode the answer will surprise you.

In the manga, the Stars arc is the darkest of all.^^

I can't wat for Stars to be aired, and actually SuperS too, because in the 90's it was a disappointment, especially after knowing how much better and richer the Dream arc was. The Outers were there, Mamoru was acting like a teenager and real stuff was happening. But I guess I am happy that I don't really remember anything else from the manga than that and Sailor Cosmos. I can still be quite hyped :D

Finally next week will come Sailor Saturn!

The one thing I really liked in this episode was the sense of poetry. Hotaru's death led to a rebirth of sorts for Chibiusa.

Combo attacks are the main pull for next episode.

Mistress 9 oh wow, those expressions were hilarious yet creepy. She sort of looked like Ryuk from Death Note.

The sad part about this episode was Hotaru. When all hope is lost, she sacrifices herself. She really had a sad fate and life due to her condition. However, she brought a new hope, in the form of Super Sailor Chibi Moon. Gotta say them Super Sailor outfits look real good, especially Sailor Moons.

Inner senshi got to see some action as well. I really hope they get a power up, especially Jupiter. Her planet is supposed to be part of the outer planets, yet her power isn't really all that strong.

Bit late comment, but barely managed to watch the episode before going to work xP

Brilliant episode. That moment, when Hotaru desperately protected Chibiusas and the Inners Souls. A really WTF moment when Mistress 9 has gone bananas XD Those rolling eyes and all. And I though Dr. Tomoe was crazy enough. And when I though it can't be crazier Mistress 9 changes into her Daimon form omg. Mind blown to bits.

And yes, quality dropped in some few moments, but I don't care. I'm rewatching the SM 90's version (SuperS right now) and noticing so many animation errors now compared to the times, when I watched SM for the first time ehhhh... ;P

Music and VA was top-notch. Those Chibiusa and Hotaru sad moments wow... I think I've got something in my eye while watching it ;...;"

Seems like the animators had build up the pressure from not using face expressions in S1 and S2. Poor Mistress 9 got literally all of it in the face haha.

Omg don't tell me you counted them all XDDDDD I'm guessing 12? It will probably be more haha XD


Speaking of Dream and Stars Arc. We are getting closer and closer to the finale and no news on the horizon :( Does anyone found out something? I don't want to wait an infinity again (no pun intended) for the next seasons to air :< ...but if the quality improves even more, then I'll patently wait a bit of course >___>

Yes I did but I will not give the answer until tonight.

edit: now this might be unfair but mistress 9 had way more facial expressions due to the fact that there are 3 of them again unfair so let me explain. You have Hotaru, Mistress 9 and monster Mistress 9 there all the same person so obviously you will get a lot of facial expressions I present to you the results.

I think we have to wait at least half year, just like we had to wait after Black Moon, now...DVD/BD sales are very important, i hope S3 will sell well, so Toei can see it is worth to keep it in same quality as S3, and don't go back to 2 weeks per epsiode and ONA format

There's already been a Chibi Usa/Pegasus figure announced that's labeled as 'Sailor Moon Crystal', so we most definitely will be getting the Dream Arc, but when it'll be is still a mystery.


I've seen it on the SMN site too. To tell the truth I haven't notice the Crystal text on the label and reading the post on SMN makes me really wonder if it's simply written wrong or not. The art style is a mix of old and crystal style too. Next season will hopefully come sooner or later. It would be stupid to stop the adaptation in the middle of the story. I hope we get some official info at least.

I really hope not :/ but sadly it could happen like that... I had hopes we get the same treatment like with S1 transiting into S2 directly. After that S5 (Stars) would come after another break. On the other hand the official episode amount in S3 hasn't been stated yet, although it still can be simply capped at episode 13 :P Well... seems like we need to wait for Toei revealing some info.

I didn't remember this that happen on manga too.
Recently I re-watch the 90 series and my favorite was the Pegasus's arc...

This episode tHe best scene of all was Chibiusa and Hotaru part. I remeber that in the manga I already liked those scene.

yEAHT, I think that Toei will make the other arcs Super S and Stars!

In the manga star was the darkest one? Anybody would like to re-fresh my memories? What happing on this arc in the manga to become the darkest one?

I wonder if Crystal will get a Season 4 and 5 to do the SuperS and Stars because I'd really like to see that adapted according to the original manga. Plus, a chance to see Nehelenia and Galaxia with the newer art styles along with Eternal Sailor Moon? OH YEAH!
Don't believe the hype.

Not my favourite ep so far, but it wasn't that bad ether. It's just manga versions of final battles were pretty dull to begin with, so they can't really improve that much in anime remake, sadly. They'd have to rewrite the entire thing. Seriously, wtf was with that monster.
And I can't believe that Pink Sugar Heart Attack killed it with one blow, when 4 other, stronger and older Sailor Senshi couldn't harm it even a little bit xD

Another thing - Chibusa and Hotaru shared in this series like 3-4 scenes together? I can hardly call that destined friendship... Older S series with 30+ episodes made it a looot more believable. Oh welp.

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.

Best animated death for Hotaru. Chibi-Usa flying was so weird though. And I found some faces of Pluto strange.
I forgot that Mamoru got a power-up from his daughter and Hotaru. I thought his "level-up" would come later (from the "Priester"/guardian)

5/5

Having a doubt, I just checked if Hotaru's original voice actress was playing her. I didn't realize until now. ^^"

The more I watch the Crystal version of the Death Buster story, the more I understand how I came to like Pre(tty)Cure.



@Kitsu-nee It was a Pink Sugar Heart Attack powered-up by Hotaru's apocalyptical energy potential as Sailor Saturn, Mamoru's healing/energy transmission, and all the usual will boost (friend sacrifice, ...)
The friendship thing: the fact it was "pre-destined" gets rid of the need for story time to build up a relationship (also, Hotaru obviously has little to noone near her, so she's probably more "receptive" to marks of kindness). What you had in the old variant was not a destined but regular friendship.
