Super Recaps: Sailor Moon Crystal (Episode 12)

Another episode of Sailor Moon Crystal has descended from on high by the benevolent Gods among men who work at Toei.  Will this episode fix the awkward stumbling block that we ended the last episode on!?  Will our heroes be able to actually do something other than wring their hands for five minutes before each fight!?  There’s only one way to find out, and that’s to keep on reading!!

The episode begins where so many of them have before, i.e. all the scouts who AREN’T princesses curled up into balls of defeat due to dubious injuries sustained by a dubiously powerful foe.

“I’m in so much pain right now!!  Can’t you tell by my squinty eye!?”

Super Recaps: Sailor Moon Crystal (Episode 10)

Another two weeks, another episode of Sailor Moon Crystal!  It’s been rough for the last few episodes, but the last one ended on such a high note that I couldn’t wait to see this one!  Does this one continue to push the series in a positive direction, or will it fall back on old habits that have made the show less enjoyable at times?  There’s only one way to find out, and that’s to keep on reading!!

The episode begins just as the last one ended where Luna is proposing a trip to the moon.  They can’t go until the full moon though, so the gang is preparing for their trip to outer space.

Don’t try to make sense of this.  It’s only going to confuse the audience.

Super Recaps: Sailor Moon Crystal (Episode 9)

We once again find ourselves with a new episode of Sailor Moon Crystal!  I’ve been kind of down on the most recent episodes, but always still look forward to this show in the hopes that it’ll turn itself around.  Do the Scouts finally have a chance to breath and develop beyond their initial episode, or are we gonna keep barreling right along through the Moon Kingdom mythology instead of giving me a reason to care about any of it?  Let’s find out!

The episode begins where the last one left off, i.e. with Tuxedo Mask taking in a face full of dark magic at point blank range.

Good thing that such a horrible attack left his face completely unblemished.
