Episode 91 Part 1.
We can see Tamegai's style slowly shifting from a more traditional 80s/early 90s design to a more stylish one.
There's still a lot of really great looking shots here!










We can see Cell written third going from the center. I wonder if those other inscriptions are not random words either.





Luna's back to being Tom & Jerry!

I really love their outfits, great colors too :kiss:




CREEPY!!!!!

It's one of my favorite episode in the whole franchise. The art is wonderful and moreover the atmosphere is sooooo good. It embodies all the good part of the anime in 24 minutes: comedy, horror, romance, friendship... QS thanking Usagi for making her one more time useful makes me cry ;_;
I remember when I was a teenager and watched that episode, I was amazed, how would Usagi be able to transform with her broken brooch ? I didn't even think they would give her a new henshin sequence at that time, it was such a surprise.
Yes to all of this!

I guess Minako is Kagawa's favorite by his doodles on Twitter.

They really are twins :P




I, Minako Aino, shall set ablaze this romance!


'Please take a seat, Miss'
'Shhhh....'
'Yes?...'

The humor of the 90s anime was something else! :rofl:

He calls her Michiruuuuu!!!
You two are so close that you stopped using honorifics?!




'Usagi-chan, you already have Mamoru-san, haven't you?!'





:haruka:: Ikuze, Michiru!
:mihiru:: Yokutte yo!

I wonder if in their transformations of the future , they would have a lipstick scene just like the outers.
I think in the future they simply wear lipstick full-time like Pluto :P

I remember comments on Youtube long ago said that the nail polish scene was from where they channeled their power and it was something that Takeuchi/Toei confirmed? I don't know how much truth there is to this however you do see how the Inners slowly become more lady-like as they power-up:
At the base stage, they do not have nail polish
At Star stage, they magically manifest their nail polish
At the Planet stage, the Outers already have their nail polish but magically get their lipstick gloss
At the Crystal Stage, the Inners likeweise have their nail polish and during the Love & Beauty Shock, Venus manifests her lipstick in a similar manner.

If in the 90s anime, the girls would have moved up to the Eternal stage, I think they would have gotten their lipstick (considering based on the LD covers, the Starlights were intended to have full make-up on).

Or if Sailor Moon was still popular and they decided to do a non canon movie after Stars with the girls after their graduation, they would totally have had a lipstick scene in their henshins.

Interestingly, Mars and Jupiter both seem to have lip gloss in the Super attacks. :kiss:



This episode is truly iconic.
Rika Fukami giving her best in this episode!
She truly IS Minako!

I suspect Serenity is prone to infidelity. lol
Well, considering in the manga, in the end they all end up in a polygamy relationship and are concubines to each other :P

Episode 96 aka the last Ando Episode that looks interesting.
After this one, Ando was like, 'where's my check? I want out!'

Part 1.







Michiru-sama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Episode 96 Part 2.

Kaolinite rocking the scene!






Remember when the body language was part of the character and is a tool to show the personality of said character as well - 'Show, don't tell'.
Something everyone in the Crystermos adaptation forgot except during the Tellu episode I guess.


Michi looking so good!










Ando could do expressive and dynamic very well!









You deserve the best, Mako-chan!
#96 is one of the most wholesome Mako episodes ::love:::mako:
