The two latest episodes of Sailor Moon SuperS were added to Hulu and Neon Alley this morning. This week we get a couple of hilarious episodes with episodes 152 and 153. First Rei has an admirer who wants to be just like her and then Usagi and Chibiusa get cavities as a fake dentist pops up in town.
Episode 152, Flames of Passion: Mars’s Raging Super Attack, is the one where Sailor Mars powers up sort of. Rei is on the cover of Boys’ Press magazine, which is better than the last time someone from the Hikawa Shrine was in a magazine, that being the warning that her grandfather was harassing girls. Boys from all over are dropping by to get a look at this beautiful Shrine Maiden, generating good business. Nanako, a young girl who idolizes Rei, takes up a part time job at the shrine and goes so far as to wear a black wig to look just like her. Nanako is a strange girl with actual stars in her eyes, something that occasionally happens to characters in the series but not in a permanent way. Rei has a bunch of dreams, which basically lead to international success, but she doesn’t think Nanako’s dream is legit as it’s just wanting to be like someone else, but when Nanako overhears this she’s heartbroken. VesVes doesn’t think her dream is too shabby though as she’s targeting her in this episode, which leads to a humorous monster ManeMane Musume who imitates the Sailor Guardians all while suggestively shaking her butt. Finally Sailor Mars uses her Mars Flame Sniper for the first time, continuing the trend of Sailor Guardians powering up since getting their Super transformations. Nanako has moved on from emulating Rei and now works at a McDonalds’ style restaurant and even makes it to the cover of the ever popular Boys’ Press magazine. How often does this thing come out?
Episode 153, Dentist of Horrors? Palla-Palla’s House, is all about cavities. We see a time stamped summary of an average night for Usagi and Chibiusa. This seems to involve a lot of eating sweets and not brushing their teeth. The excuse for not brushing is that it will remove the sweet taste from their mouth. Is this a real thing? I have quite a sweet tooth, and the cavities to back it up, but I’ve never delayed brushing because it felt better to keep sugar in my mouth. Chibiusa seems to go to bed at 10:51pm, which seems a bit late. The next morning Usagi and Chibiusa have cavities! They are afraid of the awful Juuban dentist but that’s okay because there is a new dentist in town! The dentist is actually made by PallaPalla who made the building, dentist and dental assistant out of dolls. She ripped the head off of the woman and so she wears a scarf! So weird. During the fight Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon use the Supersonic Waves attack, one we have not seen since the first episode, in which loud screaming is amplified to cause disaster. It turns out this was all a plot and most of the children who are going to this new dentist have fake cavities, but Usagi and Chibiusa’s cavities are real. Oops! Now they have to go to that creepy dentist.

Sadly it’s a real thing. Sometimes something tastes so good I don’t want to brush my teeth, so I knew exactly how they felt…not saying I’d skip brushing now that I’m older and know better though and thankfully (knock on wood) I haven’t had cavities.
If I’m not mistaken, the episode with Nanako was skipped during the first airing of SuperS on Toonami in America. I remember being confused that they didn’t show Rei powering up.
I’m thinking they also did this with an episode from S as well, even though both episodes were shown later on.
Yes, they skipped the episode that revealed Sailor Saturn’s identity in spite of that episode being rather important to the plot but it was aired later on. In both cases, it was because they didn’t finish editing the episode in time to cover up the nudity of the monsters. I wonder why it took them so long to get done when it doesn’t seem like these monsters where anymore revealing than the one in the first episode of S or the episodes where Haruka and Michiru first show up. I’m surprised Cartoon Network didn’t skip the episode with the dentist because I can imagine it being traumatizing to kids that are already scared of the dentist.
Ah, that’s the one! The one with the monster who had stars over her breasts in the planetarium.
The dentist episode was the one episode straight from manga without any changes
No, the villain was a spirit that had some twisted reason for wanting to give people cavities (I can’t remember what it was, but it was pretty strange).
The one with Pallapalla swapping their ages was also very similar to the manga.
So basically Pallapalla gets all the best episodes in SuperS?
In the manga I think she did most of the work anyway. I’m pretty sure she’s the one who cast almost every spell.
Does anyone else find it creepy there’s this random magazine for guys that goes around randomly taking pictures of girls? Do they at least ask their permission first?
Celebrity tabloids do it all the time.
Yes, but celebrities, who are in a field where that sort of behavior is just a part of their lives. Random young men taking pictures of random young women for underground magazines is kind of different.
“Random young men taking pictures of random young women for underground magazines is kind of different.”
I’d called that stalking in fact :v . Yeah Neon Genesis is right, it’s kind of creepy :/ .
Sorry for the mistake : “I’d called” => I’d call.
