Umino tries new trick to earn affection in this silly Sailor Moon outing.

You read that correctly.

The Rainbow Crystal saga is, without a doubt, the tightest stretch of episodes in Season 1.

Even with the villains doing incredibly well, theyre still short three crystals.

At this point, its a game of McGuffin musical chairs.

His methodology is pretty solid.

One of the reasons Zoisite is my favorite general is that hes smart.

He learns from his failures, he exploits his enemies weaknesses, and he adapts.

It makes perfect sense to me.

And so, I love that Zoisites plan, well… works.

He gets the crystal.

Good God, I love it when the bad guys win from time to time.

It keeps their threat viable.

It raises the stakes.

As for the whole Tuxedo Umino thing… Its fairly ridiculous, but so is Umino.

Hes also desperate and the kind of guy who would probably have very little grounding in reality.

For me, it was the scene outside Narus door.

Like… just by standing there.

I dont care what anyone says.

That shit is hilarious.

To take things down a bit and you knew I would this episode is not without its issues.

And men arent solely to blame for this.

And, you know what?

Theirs is one of the sweetest and most understated love stories in the series.

Especially when compared to all the high drama and theatrics of the alpha and beta couples.

And here she delivers the revelation of the Moon Kingdom, though I honestly dont get everyones surprise.

Theyve been looking for the Moon Princess.

Besides, Im surprised anything shocks these girls.

Id expect at least Mako-chan to be like, Oh.

Of course shes from the moon.

What the fuck ever.
