Sailor Moon episode 5 was fun, not necessarily filler I feel because it related a lot to Luna and Usagi’s family. Obviously after the first episode I knew Usagi was an older sister but I didn’t actually know that before watching, so that’s fun. Are chanelas real animals? The ones in this episode turn to dust but I’m assuming that’s because they’re like, evil familiars or something, but chanelas could be real. I could Google that but nah. Also this episode is the first time Sailor Moon really interacts with a human outside of Tuxedo Mask, namely her own little brother, who just mistakes her for Sailor V. I can buy that because Usagi was like, facing backwards and then hid behind a car or something, so you know. And Shingo’s like 9 so he could totally believe that Sailor V is real, way more so than he could believe his own sister to be a magical girl at least. Also, Usagi got a new move! Moon Tiara Stardust, which is like a variation of Moon Tiara Action that sprinkles Stardust everywhere, used here to de-possess a bunch of possessed people. Pretty coolio. Fun episode.
Anyway now I’m about to watch episode 6 but cover it in this post so for anyone reading you’ll literally just need to keep doing that but meanwhile I’ve had to watch another episode and then write the full thing for it that you’re about to read but I’m 20 minutes away from writing.
Anyway episode 6 was also fun, back to some fairly normal filler stuff. Except Usagi doesn’t wear her school uniform for the entire episode and instead has this cute casual outfit that I really liked. Also she uses her magic pen which oops I completely forgot about, and this time her disguise has a different hair colour entirely. I’m curious about the limits of this pen’s disguising ability, like how far can it change her build, can it change her skin or eye colour, can it change her sex, like how deep does this go? Also I’m curious about how the other Sailor Scouts when they’re introduced will differ from Usagi when it comes to their powers, like is Usagi the only one with this pen for example? Who knows. God I can’t wait for Sailor Mercury. All I know about her is that water is her element in some way and she’s smart, but I feel so confidently that I’ll love her and god she’s so cute and urgh when do we meet her? I’m hyped for it.
