Sailor Moon has returned, no small part in thanks to you amazing people out there! We’re really sorry for taking so long, but unfortunately real life got in the way of us pretending to be magical high schoolers. Join GM Steph Kingston, Sailor Bear (Dave Rollins), Sailor Rainbow (Christina Ladd), and Sailor Sunshine (Sam Brady) …
Last night I was a real rockstar and went to bed at 10 PM. I woke up refreshed from a dream about Mads Mikkelsen, and had tea and homemade scones for breakfast. And yet, I still don’t have the energy to care much that Crystal is ending, or how it ends. We drop back in …
It’s the end of the world and thank God, because that also means the end of Sailor Crystal (for now, anyway – no word yet on season three) is swiftly approaching. When we last saw our ineffectual heroes, Prince Demande was about to touch the past and present Silver Crystals together, bringing about the end …
Each fortnight, the pit of cold, nauseating dread in my stomach sinks just a little bit lower when I realize that it’ll soon be time to do another review, and I have to once again contemplate how much this show will ruin a couple of hours, and in what way. I only get so many …
NOTE: Sorry for the delay in posts, folks. I was getting married (to another Geekly)! And then also taking a honeymoon/pilgrimage to Providence, where we saw a bunch of Lovecraft stuff and Caitlin R. Kiernan stuff. (Don’t know who that is? Stay tuned!) In her umpteenth foolhardy charge into danger, Usagi now has all four …
For those of you still with us, Sailor Moon and everyone she loves are in deadly peril. Time for drastic measures! Or…well, time for running, anyway. Chibi-Usa is missing, and King Endymion enlists Tuxedo Mask to rush off with him, but they tell Venus to stay put. Which she does, although she pouts that she …
Just about the only thing Sailor Moon Crystal has going for it at this point is its ability to create striking images. I’m not talking about character creation; the characters are still flat. I just mean that there is some good staging going on, creating drama and power, despite the otherwise lackluster visuals. In the …
Crystal has a lot of problems (it also has qualities, I will not deny it), but for this arc in particular, I think I’ve finally figured out what the root issue is. It’s boring. And time-traveling magical girls trying to save future-paradise-Tokyo from an evil invading planet should not be boring. I realized this because I wanted to …
At last, the long-awaited exposition! Chibi-Usa is from the 30th century, and she’s here to get Sailor Moon’s help. With what, you ask? Well, it’s not clear. And she can’t bear to return to the 30th century. Not even to take Sailor moon. And she can’t bear to say any more than that. So…yay exposition? …
This week’s Sailor Moon Crystal begins with an extremely extended sequence trying to cheer Usagi up, even though two of her best friends have been abducted to parts unknown, and she should probably be allowed to be sad. It starts with Chibi-Usa lending her a doll, and ends with a long arcade scene in which …
