On the episode itself with all those below or average animation quality and off model episodes we finally have a decent episode animation quality wise! For many scenes it was very well animated and beautifully designed character models! There were some bad moments, but overall a complete upgrade from the last episode. Plus no constant blushing for no reason which happened a lot this season. Unnecessary amount of awkwardly placed blushing happened last week and on a few of the episodes that were badly animated.

The only thing I wish they did better was not keep on reusing footage. I hate the recaps they should have sped by some of that but at least it got right to the point, kind of. However, I did not need to see Rainbow Double Moon Heart Ache twice. Once was enough. The second time they could have used a real time attack. That’s been one of the issues this season. They use the stock footage twice in the episode. That is so lazy. They should have used a real time attack instead. I’m glad they showed tuxedo la smoking bomber though. That was pretty good, but it still doesn’t take away from the lack of real time attacks. I feel the outers should have tried attacking too. The Holy Grail should be scaled up at least 2-3 times the size. It literally looked like Super Sailor Moon was holding a cup.

Sailor Saturn’s appearance I was hoping they would stray a little from the manga and give her a real transformation from a normal girl to Saturn being born so of deal. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, but we got some sort of transformation at the very least. I was so psyched since Saturn is my favorite of all the soldiers. Unfortunately, she does barely anything in both the manga and the 90s anime. I liked her attack I was expected something a little better animated and more epic looking to be honest. Going off from the manga it looked cool, but was very boring looking so I was hoping Toei would give it a much more interesting animation of the attack. It was okay, not the intensity I was looking for, but when paired with the music it really set the stage for a intense scene. For the most part this episode in particular and this season in general really brought to life the panels of the manga. It did such great justice to each chapter and added some nice addition. Probably would have been better had they used some more real time attacks. Less reused animation footage of both attacks and just normal scenes would have elevated the series.

Overall this episode was what I had been waiting for since the last couple of average animated episodes that lacked real time attacks, but reused the same animation footage of attacks, battles, normal everyday scenes, professor scenes, and lab scenes. Unfortunately, this is the end of the season now. Just one more episode left.

POTENTIAL SPOILER:

They’re all “incarnations” of Chaos. Perhaps this connection is what gave Pharaoh 90 access to change the way events were suppose to play out in history.

This sucks cause I’ll go back to hating Monday’s again lol but shit if Toei needs a break to proud good quality art and animation, then please take a break.
