The only glaring introduction is that of Mamoru.
He practically has a neon sign blinking over his head saying this dude is important!
And, you know, looking back…Tuxedo Mask is pretty fucking useless at first.
Thats the best you have to offer?
Lethal flower arrangement and an empty platitude?
At just over the four minute mark, my gender alarm goes off for this first time.

You know, because…vaginas neutralize hunger?
The girl skipped breakfast.
Cut a bitch a break.
However, she ends up becoming a huge supporting character in this first season.
All in all a good pilot, though it does pose a few questions that never quite get answered.

Where did the police radio function in Sailor Moons odango caps go?

But most importantly…what the hell does Luna eat that gives her turds such magical properties?
I jest, but seriously.
Doesnt it look like shes shitting magical glitter?
