Sailor Moon R episode 52 review
Minako gets into a sticky situation where she has to keep on helping out this little girl from being bullied. After going to show-and-tell with her and trying to prove that Sailor Moon (& Venus) exist, she gets on the bus with the class, when all hell breaks loose. Monsters attack, and Usagi shows up in a fake-teacher form. Eventually, of course, Moonlight Knight shows up to help Sailor Moon and Venus beat the bad guy.
But the line of the episode came from Sailor Moon, who said, “After all, kids aren’t just innocent and cute, we depend on them to take care of us after our retirement!” Which… isn’t all that out of touch with reality. It’s actually… quite profound, in a weird way. Bonus points to Minako for putting up with all these kids and not going insane; I think Rei would have burned them all to death.
Best Sailor Guardian of the episode: Venus
Episode rating: 7/10
