It feels like such an accomplishment to finish a six DVD set of Sailor Moon! This is the third season of the show, and I think it's my favorite so far. There are lots of things that make this season unique, mainly the additional Sailor Soldiers from the outer solar system. Sailor Uranus is a tomboy (in fact, everyone thinks she is a boy at first!) who has a "relationship" with the beautiful Sailor Neptune, and they show up to protect the earth from the Messiah of Silence. There's also Sailor Pluto (who we saw briefly in the second season), and she's really mysterious and cool (and has the best transformation). The enemy this time is the Death Busters, run by an evil scientist (who turns out to be possessed) and the Witches 5, who deliver bizarre creatures called Daimons to collect pure hearts (kind of like a life spirit) to awaken the dark messiah! Chibi Moon is back, too, and everyone has lots of funny and fantastic adventures together. I always love the final few episodes, because the jokes fall aside and everything gets so serious - there's some beautiful animation when Usagi undergoes a second transformation to Super Sailor Moon, too. Since I've been watching all 40 episodes for the past several weeks, there's far too much to mention here, but I loved every minute of it, and I'm ready to take on the next season soon!Labels: anime, dvds, sailor moon
