Action Sailor Moon update (Full Preview for Act 44)

Because we care. |
There's currently no picture at the HICBC preview
but I'll put it up if they do. Also the complete Toei
preview for Act 47 is here. It's relatively short this week; if they update
it, I will too.
Unable to reconcile Minako's death the Sailor Senshi decide to fight with
all their might- even taking on her part of the burden- to change the
world's destiny. Meanwhile Mamoru decides on a dangerous course of action,
putting his life on the line to protect the planet. That is to say- he
decides to take in all of Queen Metaria's destructive energy into his own
body!
Toei top left:
"Minako has died..."
Minako's life burned away before the operation. And in an attempt to deal
with a hopeless situation, Mamoru takes Metaria's power into himself. How
will this pan out?
With a side of wheat toast and jam.

There will be no episode on September 11th
Act 47 was like poetry in motion. When they read the script for this
episode each supervisor said in turn, "I want to film this" and became
jealous of supervisor Suzumura. Minako's death was a definitive moment in
the series.
However, scenario writer Kobayashi-san was very troubled over things,
saying, "I don't want to make a program which makes little girls cry over
Minako's death."
Not having died from a failed operation or being hurt in combat, simply
having Minako die poetically over time was a form of playwriting. You know,
the person who hurt the most from Minako's death may have been none other
than Kobayashi himself.
Last box:
There are only two episodes left in "Sailor Moon"'s broadcast run. This one
week vacation might be considered a good 'blank' time to take the time to
think about the meaning of Minako's life. Thus this site will go into
mourning mode as well.
Try to grip with your feelings until next week; we're planning to update
this site once again later on.
He/she's just too lazy to say she didn't want to update this week.
Sailor Moon may not be airing this week, but I have a video just as
interesting right
here. Media hosting thanks Bill
Heineman! My favourite is that kid who runs under one of the little
bench things as though it will protect him from the dust devil, and then it
collapses on him. It offers as much protection as when they used to have students practice
hiding under a desk from an atomic bomb in the 50s.
For those that entered the Sound of Myusic contest, I can't declare any
winners until I have access to my e-mail again. Give me a few more days.
Thanks.
Also, I'd like to begin fixing the Operation Replay archives for the first
season. Thus if you wrote up an entry, look for it. In a few days I'll tell
you where to send it.

Operation Replay:
Episode Fifty-Eight
Review by: kyleen66
The disagreeing feeling of love! The Makaiju's anger
What wakes the Doom Tree isn't love shared between Ali and En but
rather the fact they learned how to love in the first place. Their
prior devotion to one another had more to do with necessity and
there being no one else. And that being how love works, you have to
lose it to realize what you had in the first place.
A lot of amusement can be had in this episode starting immediately
when En runs into Mamoru in the bookstore. My version has her
reading material as "Horses and Me." A lot can be read into that
title and I hope she isn't being overly optimist about Mamoru's
assets. Mamoru on the other hand seems to already show an obsession
with the moon with his current book of "Luna." This offers some
inkling he must have had some sort of memory of his pervious life no
matter what the writers professed.
Other fun things were the Sailor Moon performance with the Giant
Puppet heads- and the fact they had to squeeze Naru-chan in as a
victim one more time before the wrapped up the story arc.
Also illustrated was Usagi's unflagging cheerfulness and devotion to
make En her friend. When En certainly didn't want her to be. This
included Usagi getting out of bed early to walk En to school because
she had missed a couple of days.
When Usagi almost stumbles into the Doom Tree's closet and a new
spout grows and En mistakes it for Usagi's energy providing the
boost for the tree, when I believe it was really Ali's feeling's FOR
Usagi that triggered the small growth spurt. En decides this is the
best way for her to be rid of Usagi and uses an opportunity the next
time she comes over to shove the unwitting girl into the closet like
a small snack to the hungry tree.
But all this does is trigger the tree's wrath and Mamoru is also
caught up in the tangle of branches and limbs. With Ali and En's
desires pitting one against the other the tree can do nothing else
but lash out. Something not even its caretakers thought it was
capable of doing. |
