Sailor Moon's Most Important Episode

Been way too long since I’ve posted once again! Next video won't take 2 months I promise lol. This is one of those videos I've been working on in the background basically since I started this channel. I've wanted to talk about the differences between the 90's anime and manga and my weird relationship with the Sailor Moon franchise as a whole, and how Rei, through her changes in the 90's anime, play into that. Finally managed to put them into something I'm happy with. Hope you enjoy!

Sailor Moon in general seems to handle love triangles pretty maturely.
I think Venus had a crush on a guy, then found out her crush loved her best friend. Venus is hurt but in the end fakes her death so her crush and best friend can live a peaceful happy life together.

"Venus fakes her own death" very mature indeed

Episode 11 was one of my favorites, too! I had not thought of it like that, but you are absolutely right. It is the flashpoint where the dynamics of the show found its footing. I also think the battle scene with the Monster-of-the-Week was one of the better ones where we also got to see them combine their powers for the first time. Thanks for this!

oh look, a video on my favorite sailor moon episode of all time.

[@AquaMarina369]

Ayy you have good taste it’s been my fav since I first saw it lol, thanks for watching! ^_^

[@olivergaspar6729]

I loved this episode and your take on it, I always felt like there is a subtext between Usagi and Rei

[@uraninezak]

I found you through your Sailor Uranus and Neptune videos and now I'm curious if you ever plan to talk about the Sailor Starlights and their presentation in both the anime and manga.

[@AquaMarina369]

I might actually now that sounds like an interesting sort of thing to compare ^^ It's always been interesting to me how the starlights were pretty extraneous in the manga and Kakyuu lasted longer while in the anime it was the complete opposite, I might make that now thank you for the question/suggestion ^^

[@Bromanubis]

Ahhhh you've completely transformed my perspective on this episode, I've always kinda skipped it in rewatches but I can see its importance now. Rei/Usagi is definitely one of my favorite parts of the 90s anime. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@AquaMarina369]

Happy to have given a new perspective! ^^ thank you for sharing your thoughts as well! Lol ^_^

Rei IS THE FIRE! and i love it!
Esp in the old anime version. In crystal Rei is basicly non-existant.
I rly hope for a true dark version of live SM on netflix XD

[@DrawciaGleam02]

Love the Kirby GBA ad inclusions!!!

Crystal definitely took liberties, they undermined the impact of Sailor Moon defeating Metalia by having her power not be questionable compared to her allies. Sailor Moon only ever defeated underlings and stopped (but didn't slay) Zoicite. Having the generals survive took away from showing the strength of the senshi and it feels like Takeuchi's humour didn't get adapted to being as funny on screen as it was in panel.
Back to what your video is about imma drop a Dic dub quote: "I agree completely."

Nightmare in Dreamland I remember this thought Freddy Kruger would make a cameo lol but since it's a kids show that's going too far
