Yuri Anime: Sailor Moon Crystal, Season 3, Episode 3 (English)

April 22nd, 2016

It’s not *quite* what I hoped, but the continued quality of the entire series is so generally elevated over…well, everything…that I’m inclined to be forgiving. ^_^

We’ve met Hotaru, and had some time with Kaolinite, yay! Eudial, you came and went and we hardly knew ye, but I can’t wait to spend time with you in the original anime.

I hope you all enjoyed the most crowded secluded mountains ever and this:
SMCS3E31

And this:

SMCS3E3

And then we got this:

And then we wrap up with this:


Which is about as good as it’s going to ever get in Sailor Moon.

So one more grin-making episode of what is turning out to be a really lovely season.

Ratings:

Overall – 9 Better than I expected, not *quite* what I hoped

Now that we’ve established that when pandering is for us, it doesn’t suck after all, we can settle in and watch the rest of the story develop! ^_^

  1. The only thing bothering me is how much more time has to be spent pretending Haruka is a guy. It’s something that might’ve seemed necessary in the 90s but seems kind of backwards now.

    • It will go one for one more chapter of the manga. She will then kiss Usagi and tell her that it shouldn’t matter whether she’s a boy or girl. Michiru will say that she has the heart of a boy and girl (which American fans vastly misinterpreted, being unaware of Safire from Ribon no Kishi. And then it basically will never be mentioned again.

    Are you against fanfiction?

    • I’ve written hundreds of fanfics myself and I am adamantly in favor of derivative fan works (cosplay, fanfic, fan art, AMVs and the like.) There is a place for all of it. But there also have to be attributions and an understanding that we do not own the copyright or have a right to make money from these works.
