Sailor Moon R episode 63 review
… we’ve got no time for kibitzers.
Rei’s grandpa starts acting really weird, and it’s up to Rei to keep the shrine from falling apart now that he’s gone off the deep end. I kept waiting for him to go back to normal by the end of the episode, but nope. He’s just gone off and become an absolute pervert. Meanwhile, the other girls help out at the shrine, with Ami giving a hilarious moment when she compares her math problem to Rei’s grandpa problem. Eventually, Rei SAVES grandpa from the Monster of the Week, and everything is hunky dory.
A weird episode to grade because Rei’s grandpa’s behavior is absolutely bizarre and typical of 90s anime. It would never fly today. Even so, Rei at least made this enjoyable enough, as she seems to do more often than not.
Best Sailor Guardian of the episode: Mars (5)
Episode rating: 5/10
