Sailor Moon R episode 66 review

Chibi-Usa wants Usagi to cook some curry for her. This can’t possibly go wrong. After some of the Sailor Guardians try doing so, and Minako almost cuts off her finger, they go to get ingredients at the market. Monster of the Week shows up, battle ensues, and that’s that.

A pretty dull episode, but Rei’s confident attitude was something we needed from this episode, which is why she wins for this episode.

Sailor Moon R episode 65 review

In this episode, Minako and Makoto disagree on… something. It doesn’t actually make a whole lot of sense what they’re disagreeing on, but they have a fight with each other. Meanwhile, Chibi-Usa is acting super-annoying, while Usagi is acting as stupid as ever. You can probably guess what happens with Minako and Makoto… they have to work together as Sailor Venus & Jupiter to beat the Monster of the Week.

Too much Chibi-Usa in this episode, which I remember becomes a huge problem with the series down the stretch. She’s annoying, she’s stupid, and she takes up time that could be used to flesh out the other characters. Ugh, just wait till she becomes a Sailor Guardian…

Sailor Moon R episode 64 review

Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening, all over town as Usagi’s going around. In one of the most dull episodes yet, Chibi-Usa gets lost, Usagi tries to find her, Mamoru continues to act stupid, and the Sailor Failures™ just sit in a cafe and watch. Some funny and touching moments between the Sailor Failures™, but otherwise just a copy-paste Monster of the Week episode.

Due to the rules I’ve set up, Sailor Moon wins best Guardian by default, because she is the only one who transformed in this episode. Thus, she’s going to win a lot more than she deserves.

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.
