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 …
UGH FINE. There’s more Sailor Moon, and I’m inexplicably drawn to it, so prepare yourselves for the next arc, the Dark Moon saga (in the original, Sailor Moon R). When last we left our dubious heroes, a tiny pink-haired girl was pointing a gun at Usagi’s head and demanding the Silver Crystal. We resume at …
I decided to do these reviews without rating them, since I figured that the show might need some time to find its rhythm, and I didn’t want to damn it (or, by association, its predecessor) by being initially lukewarm. Last week’s episode proves that I was so very wrong. It deserved an F-, and if …
We resume the action from last week with Beryl re-orienting us as to Tuxedo Mask’s enchantment, which she now calls his resurrection into evil. The Senshi are in bad shape. Things are looking grim. Oh no, the dreaded down-B! In the only moment of things going right, Jupiter wakes from her enthrallment and steps in …
This week, Usagi has discovered the true balm for misery–friends, video games, and a vacation. Yes, the upcoming trip to the moon looms on the horizon (that was a great pun, you have to admit), and Usagi is eager to learn the rest of the story of her past. The others are preparing in their …
In the very few snippets of Sailor Moon I saw as a kid, I was immediately smitten with Tuxedo Mask, who back then was called Darien, since nobody thought you could put subbed anime on TV for kids. Those were dark days. But I digress. “Darien” was mysterious, handsome, and overwhelming romantic. Not only did …
