heavenly_pearlGreat episode today! I'm half-dreading watching the next episode, though, because I have a feeling I'm going to cry bucketloads of tears. Heck, I got a little teary-eyed just watching the preview for the next episode! But on the other hand, the same moment I'm dreading is also my favorite moment of the manga, so... Yeah, conflicted.
- King Endymion actually looked more translucent this episode, which was nice.
- Saffir's hands were different than what I was expecting. Not really a bad different...just different.
- It's humorous how emotional Mercury seemed to get when Black Lady hit Luna-P. I mean, it's just a toy!
- This was really one of the most action-packed episodes of Crystal, I think. Wished the Inners actually got a chance to attack instead of just shielding Sailor Moon, and those black moon...thingies were kind of weird, but I loved Sailor Moon showing how powerful she is. The scenes with her resonating with the Crystal Palace were beautiful, and I really liked the background music.
- The revelation of who (or more appropriately, what) Wiseman is was really well done. I also liked the appearance of Nemesis.
- Poor Pluto, wanting to join the fight but unable to lead her post. And Chibi Pluto during the flashback with Queen Serenity was just so adorable!
- Although not as cute as Diana! Seriously, Diana was always cute, but Crystal turns up her cuteness to almost epic levels. I especially loved Pluto nuzzling Diana in thanks for agreeing watch over the Time Gate. I'm going to have to make an avatar of that moment someday...maybe even a wallpaper.
- Wow, Demande seemed very...unhinged when he grabbed Sailor Moon's crystal. (I did feel a little sorry for him when he had to kill Saffir, though.)
This week, I also finally got around to watching the new dub for the second half of the first Classic season. (I've had it since it came out, but I wanted to get through some of my backlog before watching it.) I gotta say, I LOVE Makoto's new voice actress, and Cherami Leigh was just as great as I expected as Minako. I didn't cry as much as I normally do during certain episodes -- actually didn't cry at all during Nephrite's death scene, which usually leaves me in a sobbing mess -- but I think that was either because I've finally become desensitized after watching these episodes so much or that I was anticipating crying so much that I wasn't as engaged in actually watching, therefore I didn't let the emotions come naturally. I don't think it was the fault of the dub, which I still think is really well done, and certainly an improvement over the first one.
