![]() If you consider yourself a Sailor Moon fanatic, you really don't need to be reading this. If the rest of Sailor Moon S maintains this level of quality, it's going to be an excellent ride. ![]() So even the filler stuff with poorer art is enjoyable all of a sudden. ![]() In fact, while the sixth episode on this disc may seem like filler fluff, it does serve to flesh out Mimete's twisted character rather well and features some very entertaining moments. The last featured episode on this disc is drawn in that overly stylised, fat-faced look that pops up every few episodes during Sailor Moon, but it's not much of a bother here. There is pretty art and solid animation to enjoy in almost every episode on this disc. The battles are entertaining to watch - sparks fly, attacks come thick and fast, which is a refreshing change after all those filler episode battles where the Inner Senshi just stood around, taking beatings from lame monsters until Sailor Moon did her over-elaborate ultimate attack. Neptune and Uranus get some of those awesome dramatic moments that make them so memorable instead of the tiny, hardly worthwhile appearances they were given in previous episodes. In these episodes, the goofy Daimohn are genuinely funny instead of annoyingly un-threatening (U-Henshu always cracks me up - she's a riot!). Most viewers will be too busy having fun with these thrilling, well-made episodes anyway. If you're willing to buy this disc, you're probably quite a large Sailor Moon enthusiast to begin with, and the occasional holes in the plot won't bother you. However, they don't detract from the enjoyment of these episodes a whole lot. For instance, how come the Sailor Senshi always happen to meet up with the victim-of-the-week character by pure coincidence? In a megalopolis like Tokyo? And why doesn't Eudial (or Eugeal, if you go by Pioneer's subtitles) simply use her flame-thrower to roast the Senshi alive when she has them right behind her, defenseless in a narrow corridor? Why use some lame sticky liquid at that precise moment? Things like this make no sense when you stop to think about it. And even then, the occasional lapses in logic that the plot displays are hard to overlook. The plot is pure fantasy and requires strong suspension of disbelief to really work for any viewer over the age of fourteen, give or take a few. ![]() This also holds true for these strong episodes. However, the entire 200-episode Sailor Moon anime is still a series aimed at very young children and animated on a very low budget. In terms of the entire 200-episode Sailor Moon anime, this is pretty much the cream of the crop. It also helps that all of these episodes look good in terms of art and animation. There's hardly an instance of filler material on this disc, and as a result, hardly a dull moment. Basically, what we have on this disc are some very busy episodes in which several new characters are introduced, the plot is spiced up with some new spins on the usual formula, and a few new attacks and powers for the Sailor Senshi are even thrown in just for good measure. Whoah, what just happened here? After three discs containing mostly filler episodes of very uneven quality, the Sailor Moon S series suddenly kicks into high gear in this fourth batch of episodes and demonstrates why it's so highly regarded as one of the very best moments of the Salior Moon anime.
