Keiko doing her best Holden Caufield expression. |
The preview for the third episode of the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon live
action series is up at the official
page, and that means we've got it for you here in English. Why English?
Because apart from Japanese, the only other language I know is Hebrew, and
they don't get Sailor Moon in Israel. (Or so I've been told.) It would be very
amusing to me in Hebrew though. (I once saw the X-men cartoon series in
Hebrew. Wolverine's voice was probably at the lowest decibels I've ever heard
a person speak in.) I understand they showed Sailor Moon in Turkey; I guess
that's as close to the middle east as it got. (Too bad, really, given that
there's notable biblical- in addition to all the Greek, Chinese, and Japanese
mythology- influence throughout the series.)
Enough killing time, right?
Usagi and Luna have at last found a fellow senshi to join in the battle.
It turned out to be the genius girl Mizuno Ami, who also happens to be Usagi's
classmate. As Sailor Mercury and Sailor Moon, they must find more senshi to participate in
war they have waged against the Dark Kingdom.
The ultimate mission of the Sailor senshi is to find their Princess and to stop the Dark Kingdom from obtaining a jewel of unknown power, the legendary Silver Crystal. Luna wants to find the remaining senshi as quickly as possible, and continues to try to learn more of the mysterious senshi, Sailor V.
Since Sailor V has been active as a senshi before Sailor Moon had even awoken
to her powers, Luna has a hunch that she may be the princess they are
searching for.
At the same time, there has been an increase in the amount of missing-girl cases across the world.
[Not just Tokyo? That's interesting. I wonder if there are youma in America.] Believing that youma may be the cause of these incidents, Usagi and Luna begin investigating them. They become interested in a particular rumour swirling about their school. Apparently girls
have been disappearing one by one [in a particular area] and its said that the cause
of their disappearance was a curse by a strong shrine maiden. Just as Usagi and Ami are grasping to come up with a plan, the two of them by chance meet the person they are search for- the Hikawa shrine's maiden, Hino Rei!
I also took care of Monday and Tuesday's diaries.
Sailor Moon:
What did you think of episode 2?? As far as filming goes, we're slowly getting more cast members [on the set] and its become even more fun! Winter has gotten
closer... so everyone, be sure not to catch a cold!
Sailor Mars:
Its already fall, isn't it. I've been doing some "fall reading"- so to speak- and have been reading a book called "Catcher in the Rye." I'm looking forward to seeing how it ends. [I read that in high school too. It was crazy in English, I wonder how nuts it is in Japanese. How do they deal with all the swear words?]
Points to anyone who posts on her message
board there, in Japanese, the ending to the book.
