Sailor Moon R episode 55 review
The best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, right? Or something like that. Well, Makoto tests that theory by feeding the bad guy (Ail) while his sister (An) gets jealous. Those two, holding “codenames” Seijuro and Natsumi, respectively, are plotting something as this goes on. Seijuro/Ail doesn’t even like human food, which is why he kind of passes off Makoto. Meanwhile, Makoto’s trying to figure out if Seijuro is actually Moonlight Knight, the Tuxedo Mask wanna-be who started showing up at the start of this season. Then Natsumi/An gets too jealous and attacks, and then they call out the Monster of the Week for Sailor Jupiter to attack. Enter Moonlight Knight and Sailor Moon, and the episode ends the way you’d expect.
This episode was actually quite entertaining; lots of funny stuff here. Makoto acting boy-crazy is probably the best part of the episode, because you can’t tell whether she’s being serious or silly, or both at the same time. Kudos to your efforts, Makoto, to save this episode from being forgotten like many of the others.
Best Sailor Guardian of the episode: Jupiter (2)
Episode rating: 7/10
