Sailor Moon brings us three episode in a row with solid characterization.
Here’s our review…
In terms of the friendship between the Senshi, weve come to place where its really starting to gel.
Sure, this is a different situation.
Mako-chans little static shocks are anything but convenient, but its the other side of the coin.
Jupiter gets to use her new power here, but it wasnt handled especially well.
Sparkling Wide Pressure could have had a better, more distinctive design.
I am, however, loving that Flower Hurricane has not been forgotten and gets some play here.
Where the hell did that come from?
As for our baddies, we got some good face time with them too.
Demande comes off as considerable less brutal and drunk as power if hes not threatening his own brother.
Hopefully, future episodes will retain the interactions between these two.
They all seem to wear these perennial smirks.
They seem about as upset as they would be if someone totaled their car.
This really goes back to my assertion that Mamoru really needs his own supporting cast.
How many civilians are really in on the Senshis secret identities?
And its not a huge loss as shes admittedly a fairly insignificant character, but its unfortunate nonetheless.
In addition to its narrative strength, this episode was very strong visually.
Are these fuckers even trying some days?
Still, the complaints with this episode are precious few.
But again, its a minor gripe.
Over all, this ep was solid.
