The Rainbow Crystal arc continues in the latest episode of the original Sailor Moon.
One, hes a fraud.
His excellent scores are the result of psychic powers.
And two, those psychic powers are a side-effect of him being the next Rainbow Crystal carrier.
Its worth noting how rounded all these characters are (at least in the first season).
I get that shes making an effort to protect her identity, but… Ami?
The jig is up.
Even though he is revisited in a future episode, its not as much as he deserved.
Hes so marvelously complex that its really a shame that he only gets one full appearance after this episode.
His youma alter-ego Bunbou, on the other hand… lame.
A fucking school supplies monster?
This shit is just too much.
And theres another issue I have with Urawas precognition.
He totally sucks at it.
And then later with Usagi and the water.
Dude, you are causing these girls problems.
Mamoru is kind of a dick in this episode.
I mean, hes a dick in a lot of episodes, but its pretty much exclusively to Usagi.
Hes gotta know Rei is into him and hes totally leading her on.
And its not even like he thinks he needs to use her to figure out who he really is.
Shes just some girl he knows.
Way to needlessly fuck with someones heart, Mamo-chan.
It was a touch of chaos and unpredictability that added some tension to a heretofore rather formulaic series.
Todays win goes to the Sailor Senshi.
The yellow crystal is theirs.
And lastly, for the superficial grace note…
Yay!
New opening and closing sequences!
This opening animation may be my favorite in the entire series.
Its definitely in the running, theSailor Moon Sopening its only competition from where I stand.
