Act 17 opinions

[QueenNepy]

Wow. No words to describe my current emotion. But just in case anyone is wondering, Venus did transform today. With a wonderful sequence. Too wonderful? Maybe....

Seems like Usagi is still upset about Mamoru's girlfriend. And tried to cover it up by being all happy-ish, and singing karaoke. Makoto-san and Ami-chan were worried though and followed her around until she accidentally ran into Mamoru again with his girlfriend. The yarn she was threading in her (is it home ec?) class (that she was making for Tuxedo Mask, her only love, she says) dropped out of her hand and after a 1 minute pause of silence, Mamoru's gilfriend picked it up and apologized

Rei was praying for her dead mother and Minako was praying for...what was she praying for again? Ah anyway, I'm sleepy. It was a good episode and you must watch it. o_o;;

 

[windwolf]

Makoto looked like she wanted to strangle Usagi when she went all hyper harry singing Cest la Vie. At least she wasn't forgotten this time. ^^

Mamoru's alter ego is down on the job. Ever since Usagi went in and out of Youma mode, he hasn't really done much as Tuxedo Kamen.

I loved the Mars and Venus team up as well as the henshin(since earlier )but after watching this episode, does that mean that Venus doesn't have an attack phrase?

Jadeite's back*sarcastic woohoo*.Notice all he did was talk. Again. The thing is they may wait until almost everything is done in this arc to bring back Zoisite, if at all. He's the first General to be directly hit with a senshi attack and Queen Beryl already didn't like him recovering his memories. Plus he turned to a stone on his own. Then again if he did come back before anything else is revealed AND still has the recovered memories, it would be really interesting. I just hope he comes back at some point! (this smiley is very scary o.O)

Why isn't Kunzite doing anything else? He, like the others, are just sending out Youma to do his work. In my opinion, this has been the best episode since maybe Act 12. Except for Kunzite's arrival and Usagi's temporary evil. I found 13 through 16 kind of boring.

I thought it was interesting that Rei's mother's (Risa Hino) gravestone was at "St. Juban Church." St. Juban would be the patron saint of what, exactly? LOL

I thought when plushie Artemis was watching TV it was cute. (My cats watch TV too, I swear!)

Venus used an attack; however, she didnt' say anything for it, and it only had CG for the beam of light. (Like in the episode with Zoisite.)

For those of you who are interested, I have some screen caps (Summary to come later) at my site, Sailor Dream.

The second to last image is what Venus does right before she uses her attack. She almost "blows a kiss" on her hands.

 

[denelson83]

Darn... Yet another cliffhanger! What, is this the third "compound" episode that they slipped into the show?

You know, maybe Venus' beam attack will get a corresponding verbal command after Usagi is found to be the real blue-blood within the team.

 

[QueenNepy]

Was it just me, or did Kunzite sneeze? .....lol

^O^ It looks like he did and then glared at the camera. Makes me think of a behind the scenes type of thing.

yea i KNOW IT xOOOO how long must we WAIT for a resolution to this tension???

anyone else notice the REMARKABLE upping of production quality in this episode?
the camera work was markedly much more creative and dramatic, the music was -- well, there was TONS of new music -- and a lot more drama-like face shots for emotional effect.

i was pretty blown away -- i mean this is sailor moon, but whoa, that level of good quality was unexpected (but WELCOME)

St Juban -- patron saint of the local school? lol

I LOVED the little kiss blowing thing on her attack, that was so unbelievably adorable I actually squealed when I saw it @_@~!

Act 17 Awards
Again, let me know if these need resizing, or should be posted on another page. Payce.

CM of the Week: Goes to the Medicine CM. No, it goes to the girl in the medicine CM, because she was the cutest thin gin the world. Kudos to cute-girl for being so damn cute.

Best Shibby moment: Well, considering that he had only 2 minutes of air-time, picking it was tough. But I'd have to go with the "awkward moment" Shibby and "awmigawd she saw meeeee" moment, as well. Kudos Shibue, for being so damn hot every week. And for cutting your hair.

Cutest moment: Usagi's singing of "C'est La Vie." Probably the cutest thing I've ever heard her sing as. Some people don't like the high pitched voices, but I thought it was the most cutest thing! Especially in the end where she was shaking her head singing, "Kakenukete!" Plus, Makoto's look at her was PRICELESS!! She SO wanted to shoot her. You know it. You know it.

Hotties of the week: It's painfully obvious that the HOTTIES of the week are Komatsu Ayaka and Kitagawa Keiko. Their Rei/Minako interactions, and their Venus/Mars rivalry... wow, hot hot hot!!! Did you see all those Rei-pouts? So adorable!!!

Coolest Moment: Obviously, the Venus henshin. You can't get any cooler than that. YOU CAN'T! This is perhaps the coolest thing I've ever seen done in the PGSM. Venus henshin is now the definition of COOL.

There's also another parcipant to this award. And it's Venus, with her "Crescent Beam" attack. It reminds me of her "Venus Love and Beauty Shock" attack, because of the kissing of the fingers. I seriously thought a heart was going to pop out of her mouth. ^_~

Saddest Moment: No doubt, every scene with Usagi. Even when she was trying to make it seem like everything was okay. It was all so sad. In the end, I think she finally realized where her heart lies, but... it's also strange how they didn't even bother to go to the gymnasium when Luna called. Kudos to Miyuu for wonderful acting skills. My respect for her has doubled a lot.

AND FINALLY!!!

Weirdest/Funniest Moment: The Tuxedo Kamen scarf trying on scene. I thought it was more weird than funny.

And yes, Kunzite did sneeze. Awww.

 

[Malachite82]

What exactly was the Mars/Venus rivalry?

Well, at least Usagi knows how to daydream. She did that an awful lot in the anime.

Kunzite's sneezing was the funniest moment!

For just those who don't know, in Japan, a sudden sneezing means someone is talking about you. It also can be seen in some episodes of sailor moon anime. This time, Neflite and Jedite had been talking about Kunzite.

 

[Neeko]

After Usagi first saw Mamoru and "lady" together and Mamoru got on the bike, he thinks to himself, "Aitsu ga, ore ni ai ni?" Does that mean something along the lines of, "She... likes me?"

 

[Marvel Boy]

I didn't really understand Venus's kiss thing. It looked cool when she did her attack. But she did it once before and there was no attack afterwards. If she keeps that up, it'll be as fantastic as her running like a plane.

He said "Aitsu ga ore ni ai ni? ...Masaka na."
It means:
"She has come here to see me? It can't be..."

Yeah It happened in the Ayashi no Ceres manga and in the CCS manga (and anime I think) I forgot about that.

But then I haven't seen any PGSM yet (when my new PC comes I'm gonna download a whole bunch)

BAHAHAHHAHAA, that makes it soooo much funnier.

Same for the Chinese
I don't really like the henshin music of Venus......yuck
Yea, the sequence is also too "elegant" /.""

 

[marspeach]

Why must all the episodes end like this?? They can't seriously want me to go through this week (I have a shitload of homework to make up after being out only 3 days with the flu.) I wish I had a time machine that could just zap me to next weekend. It's not fair!!!

Anywho, this episode was really good. Totally different from all the previous ones with the new music and camera work. Odd at first, but good.

I wish they would get the whole Mamoru/girlfriend thing over with. I can't take it anymore!!!! Let's hurry up and find out Usagi is the real princess so Venus can lose her silly crown with knock-off ginzuishou. I'm too impatient!!!

Why can't they bring back Zoisite too?? Why just Jadeite??? Why??????????

 

[misscarlett]

Venus' henshin is just....wow...I mean it's just.....wow. I had to watch it 12 times just to get it out of my system. It'll be interesting once Usagi's revealed as the true princess, I have a feeling they'll either shorten Minako's henshin, or give her a more basic one. Lol, it would be hilarious if she did that every time though. Saturday better get here really quickly. Lol.
