A Cardian attack on a movie set brings the remaining Sailor Senshi back into the fold!
Here’s our review!
The role in question calls for a middle school girl.
New closing sequence and song too, and the first one I really like.
It was an interesting move restoring Usagis memories before Mamorus.
But as is, I dont really mind.
Oh boy, does casting not work that way.
It certainly makes sense for Minako to be pulled into this scenario, but the others?
Their sudden BFF vibe inSailor Moon Swould sure make a lot more sense.
A quick aside: I do appreciated how the minor players in this universe recur.
So, was Usagis final wish just brainwashing?
And how did it work?
Just all-purpose Silver Crystal magic?
Speaking of which, what exactly happened to the Moon Stick?
It obviously didnt just vanish into the ambient energy and get absorbed back into Usagis body.
So, did it dissolve?
Is it lying somewhere at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean?
It even evokes the ruins of the Silver Millennium, which is pretty damn cool.
Of course, my biggest issue with the episode is the Cardian.
Well, I take that back.
Thats not entirely accurate.
The Cardian herself is fine.
What bothers me is what she implies.
See, I like Ail and An.
But it is painfully obvious that not a lot of thought was given to their creation.
Hell, this ones name is Minotauron.
Thats specific to Greek mythology.
Furthermore, the Cardians are brought to life by some kind of musomancy (is that a word?
This episode is split pretty evenly down the middle for me.
On the other, it is supremely difficult to ignore those logical failings.
All said and done, this episode is not horrible, its not great; its okay.
