Sailor Moon R episode 61 review
Usagi and Mamoru are going great together, so of course we need to break them up. Out of nowhere, Mamoru just decides, he’s breaking up with Usagi, and that’s final. Usagi of course is heartbroken. The other girls try to cheer her up, but as usual they’re useless even in this, and Usagi is left to wonder why. So are we, the audience.
Bizarre way to just change the plot like this, but I guess we needed some drama somewhere. It just took a character acting totally out of character to make it happen. Yeah, I’m not a fan of this. Let’s have some real relationship trouble instead of this contrived stuff. Argh, gotta wait till episode 99 for that.
Best Sailor Guardian of the episode: Moon (5) (by default, as none of the Sailor Failures™ transform in this episode)
Episode rating: 4/10
