Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon Super S: Episode 134:
Ah yes, at last one of the Sailor Guardians gets a focus episode, took bloody long enough, and the random winner this time around is Makoto who ends up with quite honestly the blandest and most manufactured episode I have seen in quite awhile. This time around the plot construct is surrounding one of those mysterious childhood friends that we have never heard of up until this week and I will give them points for the handwave this time around as that was actually a creative and logical reason for this author of Pegasus to have never come up before. Outside of that, this episode was so vanilla that I ended up doing some work while watching on and off, it isn't bad but just insanely forgettable. Mild recommendation to whatever.
Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon Super S: Episode 135
Here we go, in contrast to the white noise that was last episode, this one decides to mostly eschew the format and actually advance things. This week Tiger Eye decides to think outside the box and connect some dots after asking about the nature of the Pegasus in the real world. It is actually the kind of information that would have been handy the first time they tried to use the Sailor Guardians to capture Pegasus. As a side note, the Anime incarnation of the Eyes I think have become my favorite quirky mini boss squad. Also, for what it is worth, we learn that Fish Eye is the first canonically gay villain since Zoisite and Kunzite which is why he hasn't been out in the field yet since they have been targeting women exclusively. The victim of the week is also more interesting then the usual fare as she poses a plight that this show hasn't done before, a teacher failing to connect with her students and that actually feeds into the larger plot. After the usual dalliance of events the trap is sprung and the Lemur manages to infiltrate the dream world of Chibiusa and things get philosophical as the Lemur tries to corrupt the dreamer and the dream, but Chibiusa shows she has grown as a chracter and acts like a hero and the day is won and we have a bit of a shift as Pegasus shifts out of the dream and into some sort of magic container thing so that more time can be spent intensifying bonds. Recommendation to watch.
