iariaUsagi’s Mother’s Challenge as a Reporter!
Awards
Hottie Of the Week: Mamoru/Endymion.
Best Shibby Moment: “The one you should trust isn’t me. It should be yourself.” ♥ That there is some excellent advice. I also loved the scene just before when he told her to stop her power and the slight smile he got when she did.
Funniest Moment: … Kunzite’s expression when Luna fell over from her gold fan. Heeee.
Cutest Moment: “Diet cancelled!” and then Usagi enjoying the cake. It was adorable and amusing especially because it was so unexpected.
Saddest Moment: Moon pleading, to herself, “Stop! Please! Please…” while crying, desperate to stop her power. It was very moving. I was really impressed with Miyū.
WTF of the Week: I was going to put Kunzite sending the youma after Moon instead taking her himself until it was revealed it was a trap. So – the whole Ikuko as ‘fighting housewife reporter’ was silly and ridiculous, as I’m sure it was meant, but I found it a lot more head-shaky wtf then funny.
Coolest Moment: Sniper youma! That was kind of awesome! Why haven’t they tried that before? It didn’t seem to be any better than any other, until you realize it wasn’t trying to kill her (or so I assume).
Best Senshi Moment: Not much here but... Moon saving Luna from the sniper youma just after they transformed. It wasn’t saving Chibi-Usa in the R movie levels of awesome but it was pretty good all the same.
Best Senshi Interaction: The four of them in the Crown. Not that there was any other choices since it was the only group or even pair interaction this episode – they do remember what this show is supposed to be about right? Still it was really cute and I love that they were completely worried about how Usagi was feeling considering what happened, and not in any way judgey about it. I liked the look the four of them exchanged after Usagi assured them that the Earth wouldn’t be destroyed – not so much with the belief there.

• I was very amused when Usagi entered her house and her mom said ‘hi’ kind of dismissively and then went back to laughing with Saitou.
• I thought the whole drawn sword thing at the end of the last episode was just a fake out. In a way it kind of was but it appears that Mamoru is playing along with the other side at the moment. Clearly, I think at least, he is trying to protect both Usagi and the Shitennou, and he is probably trying use the opportunity of being close to the enemy to keep an eye on what they’re doing.
• What is Beryl/Endymion/Dark Kingdom’s plan? To cause Usagi to release her power, without letting it go too far, in order to increase Metaria’s power? Mamoru seems to still want to be with Usagi... is this his way to force her to learn control?
• I liked Kunzite bowing slightly to Mamoru, very sarcastically.
• Moon sensing that Shingo was in trouble was interesting. How did she know he was in trouble? I was sure she was going to run off and rescue him as Sailor Moon and I was so excited about it. Oh, well.
• When they brought out the camera I was so sure that they would catch Sailor Moon fighting on camera. That would have been very cool.
• Minako deciding to quit singing wasn’t a big shock to me. Frankly I found myself wondering why it took so long for her to make that decision. I mean for her I’m glad she kept it up since she seems to love it but I really would have thought she’d have dropped it as soon as she decided to devote the rest of her life to protecting the princess and the Earth.
