Sailor Moon R episode 60 review
…those people have never been in my kitchen.
Someone actually says the Cliff Clavin quote in this episode (one of the bad guys; unfortunately he doesn’t go as far as to say that Usagi, Mamoru, and Chibi-Usa have never been in his kitchen). If your head is spinning about the reference here, look up Cheers Jeopardy! and you’ll see one of the funniest segments of a sitcom of its day.
Chibi-Usa appears out of nowhere, in the middle of Mamoru and Usagi making love. She holds a gun to Usagi’s head, wanting the Silver Crystal. The gun wasn’t real, fortunately, but Chibi-Usa is definitely a problem. Not only that, she pulls out the Bleach trick from the Fullbring arc that puts her in people’s pasts, in people’s memories, and in people’s photos. Honestly, that might be the most disturbing thing anyone’s ever done up to this point in Sailor Moon.
In the end, the Monster of the Week shows up, Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask beat her and save Chibi-Usa, and all of the Sailor Failures™ are sitting around incapacitated. Where have you gone, Sailor Uranus? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you. These Sailor Failures™ are proving to be a waste of space.
Oh, and a fun episode today.
