The Premonition of the World's Destruction / Enter in the Mysterious New Warriors Sailor Moon S | Super S | Stars | Links | Name Translations Episode 1(90) | Episode 2(91) | Episode 3(92) | Episode 4(93) Rei has a vision of the end of the world which is down played by the other girls since they are studying for high school entrance exams. Also trying to comfort Usagi after she fails yet another test distracts her, but she still can't get this out of her head. Later that day, she is working at the shrine where she is attacked by a demoness formed from her family's fortune tree. This monster seems to be after Rei's Pure Heart. It goes from bad to worse when 4 of the 5 soldiers and Tuxedo Mask have been trapped and Usagi has lost her power. Probably the biggest problem with this series is that we have little background info on the villain. All we have at this point are two guys wanting pure hearts to form a chalice to rule the world. Of course this gives more time to concentrate on the soldiers, but concentrating on Rei without allowing her to pick on Usagi isn't as lively. I feel the best aspect of the episode is the mystery behind the two new soldiers and their seemingly selfish plan. This episode is pretty much exposition on what is to come for the rest of the series, and it serves that purpose. The episode isn't bad since it'll get better once were past this, so it just let the girls act how they normally act. The Birth of a Rod of Love! / Usagi's New Transformation Sailor Moon S | Super S | Stars | Links | Name Translations Episode 1(90) | Episode 2(91) | Episode 3(92) | Episode 4(93) After the battle with the last demoness, Usagi has been pretty down and thinks she might even be kicked out of the Sailor Soldiers since she can't transform. Mamoru decides to try to cheer her up by taking her to a house full of little kittens who are watched over by one little girl. Usagi finding out that this house is going to be destroyed makes her start a crusade to give all the cats homes no matter how many each soldier has to take care of. While all this is happening, the girl who watches over the cats is being attacked for her pure heart by a demoness formed from her puzzle of a cat. After the girls arrive, Usagi can't transform, the soldiers are pretty much beat, Tuxedo mask is wounded, and all the two mysterious scouts came for was to check if the pure heart had a talisman. Usagi has to come up with some miracle to save the day, so I guess their pretty much doomed. I may sound bias, but how can anyone not like a episode of any show that has a lot of kittens. Add the rest of the characters in the show being the way they always have been and the result is a very good episode. Only problem I can see is why do the new soldiers maybe a little to powerful, but of course I can't say I blame them for not joining the others for that fact. |

A Pretty Boy! / The Secret of Ten'ou Haruka
Sailor Moon S | Super S | Stars | Links | Name Translations Episode 1(90) | Episode 2(91) | Episode 3(92) | Episode 4(93) Usagi is now set on studying for her exams, that is until she sees Minako hanging out in an arcade and Usagi can't resist trying to live her youth to its fullest. While they are playing a racing game, a boy named Haruka wants to join in. Minako decides to try to win him over and also convine Usagi to stay loyal to Mamoru, but how can they compete with who seems to be his girlfriend. They soon have to forget about this though when the mechanic working on Haruka's car is attacked by the car for his pure heart. Any episode that is based on any character trying to succeed with a goal and deal with Usagi seems to work. The episode may be based on a simple concept, but it really works well especially with its surprise ending. Also it's nice to see a more caring attitude by the two new soldiers and to know what planets they represent. Usagi Yearns! / The Elegant Genius Michiri Sailor Moon S | Super S | Stars | Links | Name Translations Episode 1(90) | Episode 2(91) | Episode 3(92) | Episode 4(93) Usagi's goal has changed from studying to being the perfect bride for Mamoru. To bad the other soldiers take her request for help in her goal seriousely. Upset with the others, she wonders around until she sees Michiri and Haruka. She is amazed with Michiri's talent in playing the violin, and immediatly starts to idolize her. Michiri plays along with this and gives her tickets to a orchestral concert for her, Mamoru, and the other soldiers. This romantic evening for Usagi is unfortunately cut short when a cello steals the pure heart of one of the performers. The episode has a similar concept to the last episode and again the episode works well. It's great that they are giving us a better insight on the other two soldiers, and it's interesting to find out what their goal is. Also the fight scene in this episode is of the same quality of the last three episodes which have all been better than most of the ones in the dubbed episodes. |
