「暗躍 -Wiseman-」 (An’yaku -Wiseman-)
“Covert Maneuvers –Wiseman–”
Apologies for the delayed absence that is Sailor Moon Crystal on RandomC. I’ve been celebrating wedding after wedding with a vacation thrown in there somewhere and now I’m back to work. I can’t believe it’s already been 3 weeks since episode 22 so I feel like a lot should’ve happened – luckily there were 5 weeks in May. Anyway, my brief mention of episode 22 in my May Impressions should already give a good indication of how I feel about the direction of Sailor Moon Crystal. There’s a lot more focus on Chibi Usa now that she’s on “the dark side” but I like how they make good use of her characters for development. I think her time as Black Lady is going to be short-lived but at least it’s not repeated episodes of Usagi being beaten up and then powering up. For someone on the “good side” to be converted over the “the dark side”, that’s a twist I never expected when I was little so this might be great for younger audiences. I have to keep in mind that while I’m a lot older now, Sailor Moon Crystal is aimed at a younger version of myself that doesn’t know the full story and wants to know what’s going to happen.
Episode 23 was both a hit and miss for me. While it did give more screen time to Black Lady, I didn’t like how they took away from Usagi’s screen time and took her back to “the present day”. I didn’t see a purpose for removing Usagi from that setting to let her sleep and relax in the comfort of her own bed. While I can admire her friends for caring about her so deeply, the Sailor Scouts are beginning to lose their own sense of individuality as well since they don’t shine as separate characters anymore. They sort of just blend together as one posse and I had the same issues with them at the end of the first arc. The show has a difficult time balancing equal focus on the characters that should matter. The attention has shifted towards the Dark Moon and I still lack sympathy towards the Wiseman and Black Lady nor do I care for their cause. Villains will be villains, but the story isn’t saying much when I feel the same towards the Dark Moon and the Sailor Scouts (or maybe I’m just empty hearted…). At least Black Lady has a clear motive and argument for turning against her family. Of course, kissing her father (romantically?!) is definitely not on the list of children-safe scenes. There’s all kinds of messed up fatherly-love implications there.
Since the new OP aired, I’ve always thought that Toei’s animation dropped; especially for Sailor Pluto. Sailor Pluto is supposed to have this elegant look in my mind and she just doesn’t look that way in this remake. This goes back to my complaints about the quality in Toei’s animation. While I’ve gotten used to their… lowered budget for this series and the girls’ awkward faces, I can’t help but notice there are still some shots here that are decent. There is still quality animation (sometimes not in the most obvious scenes) where you can tell there’s a clear difference between one frame to the next. I wanted just to point that out, especially in the latest episode since we’re nearing the end. Maybe this is a good sign for what’s to come because the finale is coming up as well.

I worry about her future. https://randomc.net/image/Sailor%20Moon%20Crystal/Sailor%20Moon%20Crystal%20-%2023%20-%20Large%2017.jpg
Incest is legal in the 30th century
I always assumed that it wasn’t her “direct” father, but rather another reincarnation of her father. I always get confused by the time frame. Are they suggesting that Usagi and Mamoru (and the gang) just stop growing old and live over 1000 years? I always assumed that Usagi and Mamoru lived out their lives and that Endimion and Princess Serenity were their reincarnations of them? Maybe I’m not paying close enough attention.
Of course, they said exactly that a few episodes ago.
People now live 1000 years being young.
And Chibiusa has 900 years, but was not able to grow up because she is a hybrid from Moon and Earth bloodline, and nobody knows how does she age.
Main issue with Chibi-Usa is that is a Papa-Con, plain and simple. Being jelous of your mom isn’t healthy, and the fact that she did an Anakin Skywalker isn’t particulary saving her cause. Yes, she may have been bullied in the Silver Millenium, but she just stayed silent, waiting for a miracle that didn’t happened to change her situation. Since the future is somewhat changed, I expect Neo Queen Serenity (aka adult Usagi) to spent some… 50 to 100 years spanking her rotten child just to make amends about Black Moon-Gate.
As for the Sailor Guardians, they can’t help their situation since they don’t have anyone else to fight anymore, and the main villian’s demise is always reserved to Sailor Moon
Let’s just say it: Takeuchi had problems. Many didn’t know how strange some of the char relationships or plotlines were in the manga until Crystal aired. Chibi Usa is going to be problematic no matter what adaptation it is. Same with TuxMax
I think Sailor Pluto looked her finest in the original anime series. I didn’t really like Takeuchi’s art of Sailor Pluto either.
