Sailor Moon R episode 62 review
Ami is planning on going to Germany for some higher education when the Monster of the Week attacks. The Sailor Failures™ along with Sailor Moon this time get frozen, as in ice cold frozen. Chibi-Usa runs to the airport to give Ami her goodbye gift, when Ami decides that she’s going to SAVE the Sailor Failures™ and instead use the power of friendship. That’s instead of moving to Germany, which I hear is a really, really nice place, because even if you’re their prisoner they give you food, and it doesn’t suck like English food; it would be like heaven to a dog, yeah, that’s Germany.
Although this episode is about as predictable as a Mike Tomlin-coached team, it still works well, and there’s some suspense that gets built up as Ami makes her decision. Of course, for Sailor Moon to be useless too is a little bit of a surprise. A lot of stuff doesn’t make sense, like why Mamoru is still tagging along even though he unceremoniously dumped Usagi. But hey, Sailor Mercury learned a new move! And she didn’t have four moves already, so she didn’t have to forget one of her old ones. Shine Aqua Illusion is an awfully cool name for an attack, too.
Best Sailor Guardian of the episode: Mercury (2)
Episode rating: 7/10
