Sailor Moon R episode 47 review
Okay, I’m back! Now with a brand new series that’s using… the same voice actors. So, Artemis = Ichigo, Luna = Rukia, and Usagi = Orihime. Thus we haven’t really left the building yet, we just went a couple of doors down the hallway. And since this is shojo and not shonen, it’s Usagi/Orihime doing the saving, Luna/Rukia doing the mentoring, and Artemis/Ichigo needing saving.
The premise of the episode is simple: a mysterious brother and sister show up at Usagi’s school, then a monster attacks Usagi’s friend Naru (I prefer “Molly”), and Sailor Moon has to save her. The only problem? Usagi lost her Sailor Moon powers at the end of the last arc. So, Luna waits until the monster has wreaked complete havoc and hurt Artemis before she finally decides she’s going to let Usagi be Sailor Moon again. Once she does, Sailor Moon saves the day, but the fighter still remains, as Paul Simon would say.
Overall, a very good way of getting us back into the Sailor Moon fold, and easy to pick up and watch having not watched any Sailor Moon in two years.
