I have this say this was an incredibly funny (while accurate review) I giggled through it, well done.

Also she has a shirt on this time so it’s probably just an inconsistency, they are awful with Chibiusas clothing consistency.

Also I agree that she can’t associate past Mamoru with her dad, just as she doesn’t seem to love (or even like) Usagi who is her future mom. Kids tend to only think one person is one person and if shes still thinking like a kid, association with the past versions of her parents just wont click.

Petpeev of this episode, WHY ARE BLACK LADY’S EYES LINED IN GREY/BLUE!? It looks so weird and threw me off the whole episode…..She would look much more fierce with black lined eyes, it’s like they are trying to soften her up even though shes supposed to be hard set and “evil” right now.

As far as the Black Lady/Mamoru/Endymion thing… yeah it is just creepy all the way around, but he at least wasn’t into it like it seemed in the 90s anime.

I did like seeing Usagi kind of come to terms with how crazy she’d been acting, etc., which is the only reason that little interlude back in present day worked for me.

I am still holding out hope for the Infinity Arc though!

The episode in the original anime where they erased Ikuko’s memories had much more of an impact (at least for me.) The scene where she brings an extra cup for the girls, with Chibi Usa’s name on it was very emotional and sad. Especially during a time when fans in North America didn’t know that Chibi Usa returns eventually from the future. I remember Rei cheering Usagi up in that episode showing a rare moment of affection. I love that scene, here it’s just glossed over and we get zero character development from them.

Maybe in spite of being a hologram/spirit thing, Endymion can be felt? Like his energy, I mean, maybe that’s why Diana, who is a cat after all, and cats are like psychics or whatever, could feel it?

Yeah, there are a lot of inconsistencies with Sailor Moon. They work more in the manga, but it’s different for anime where you have to make interpretations. Still, I think the whole thing with the time vortex and erasing Mrs. Tsukino’s memories make sense. Things are funky in the time vortex. Perhaps they got home, and about a couple of days have passed. Perhaps Shingo, Mr. Tsukino, and a few others got their memories modified too, there just wasn’t time to say anything.

Also, perhaps Diana was just reacting to movements from the hologram because she’s a good kitty and wasn’t actually being pet by King Endymion. And perhaps the castle name is symbolic or it’s hollow or bigger on the inside. This is a dimension on the edge of time-space. Anything’s possible there. You never know. You can only fill in the blanks.
