SMC Episode 2 & 3 Review

Published August 5, 2014 by Shay Taree

So I forgot to review episode 2 of Sailor Moon Crystal due to going on vacation and now since I’ve watched episode 3 I’ve decided just to put both episodes together into one review.

Alright so in episode 2 we were introduced to Ami the insanely smart and adorable girl who would ultimately become Sailor Mercury. I loved this episode it was very similar to the manga and it a way the episode was also pretty sad. The only reason why I say the episode was sad was due to how people were talking about Ami.

Alright now the transformation sequence and attacks were utterly awesome!!!!!! I love Sailor Mercury’s transformation and how her attacks were animated. Definitely much better than the 90’s anime but that anime still definitely has a soft spot in my heart.

Now on to episode 3! Episode 3 was were we got to meet the mysterious and gorgeous Rei also known as Sailor Mars! She is utterly gorgeous and that is also why she is my favorite Sailor Scout besides Sailor Moon of course. But anyway the episode was very similar to the original episode that she was introduced in where a bus is mysteriously disappearing with it’s passengers near the temple grounds that she is the priestess at.

The biggest difference that I saw in this episode was that all the Shitennou were introduced and it was nice to see that Zoisite was male like he was supposed to be.

Once again though Sailor Mars transformation sequence and attacks were awesome and different from the original. Absolutely loved the episode and fell even more in love with the Sailor Mars character.

Oh yeah one last scene to being up is the bus scene between Mamoru and Usagi. That scene was just soooo cute and I can’t wait for there to be more subtle romantic scenes between them. Plus Mamoru is hot especially with his glasses on. Love his animation as well in Crystal compared to in the 90’s anime.

Also one thing that I have noticed is that all the characters faces are drawn very doll like which I love.

Alright so stay tuned for another review of episode 4 in a few weeks!

Sailor Moon Crystal 1st Episode Review

Published July 5, 2014 by Shay Taree

Alright so I just for done watching the 1st episode of the new Sailor Moon Crystal and I really enjoyed it! I felt like I was that little girl again watching Sailor Moon for the first time. But it didn’t have me feeling like I was watching a little kid show which was a good thing.

The art in the show was amazing to me and I loved the revamped look of the new characters. I’m pretty used to the older style of the old anime but the new one have it a fresh feel.

I also loved how Usagi is just as clumsy in this one as she was in the old one and there was quite a few moments where I was laughing out loud and putting myself in her shoes like when she fell down the stairs. I’ve definitely done that before.

Overall I loved the first episode and can’t wait until the next one and when more of the Sailor Scouts starts to appear.

Sailor Moon Volume 8 Review!

Published February 4, 2014 by Shay Taree

So like many others I was so excited to find out that the Sailor Moon manga was being re released so I of course have been buying each volume. So here is my review about Volume 8.

Volume 8 was well really good. Reading it brought back memories of me watching it happen in the anime but this was so much better. You have Pharaoh 90 taking over Hotaru’s body but Hotaru is trying to fight back as well as keep safe the soul of Chibi Usa and also the legendary silver crystal.

Then the souls of the sailor scouts are then taken as well but Hotaru is about the keep them safe as well and keep them from being absorbed.

There was only one thing I didn’t like about the manga and it’s just that the attack names can definitely sometimes be very ridiculous. I mean one of Jupitar’s attacks has the word coconut in it. Just plain weird!

But the manga also had it’s sad and sweet moment when Sailor Uranus, Sailor Neptune, and Sailor Pluto leave and say goodbye and with them is a baby Sailor Saturn who help them to of course save the planet. It was a really sweet moment when they said they would all raise and definitely had me saying awwww since baby Sailor Saturn looked so cute!

But anyway definitely check out the manga if you haven’t already and now I’m reading volume 9 so look for that review soon.
