The best of the Sailor Moon movies to me, but also the one that feels the most reliant on having actually watched the series up to this point, since a lot of the things I found especially striking more stemmed from the nuances in the character writing here rather than the plot in itself. A ton of little themes continued on from the associated season, especially in regards to what it truly means to "grow up", all tied together with this clash between one's dreams for what an ideal existence is and the reality of those compromises that come with life. That dream sequence near the end was especially great because of that, combined with the overwhelming fairy tale imagery creating this utterly cloying atmosphere that perfectly played off the antagonists. The space lesbians also make a return here, so it's awesome based on that fact alone.
