Episode 99 Part 1.

It's the last episode of Hasegawa before he abruptly swifts and changes his style overall.
We do see some early signs of the change however.
Overall, this episode looks beautiful! ::love::

Rei looks gorgeous in the Opening scene!









Kaolinite being SEXY!


Interestingly, Kaolinite mentions it's the first time she is seeing a tramway. From the start the anime staff was going for the alien/artificial life form route.




A very cool scene of Rei and Makoto. It's mirrors the scene they have in Rei's Infinity Chapter.





Michiruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The HaruMichi scene of the manga is done here as well.


Yui-chan!

Animation pieces of #99 that I like



Dr.Tomoe being cute






Usagi: You gotta properly make up with him!
Makoto: Rei-chan!
Minako: I'll hold your bag for you!
Ami: Good luck!
Rei: Thank you... my friends.

Rei running the streets over the sunset after Yuuichiro is one of Sailor Moon's best scenes ever!





I love the girls bullying Kaolinte everytime :P






Rei: So, want me to lend you my shoulder?
Yui-chan: I'm fine!
Rei: It's alright! Here, come on hang on to me!

I adore that they made us watch the entire 10 seconds of "Venus Love Me Chain" just for this half-second of payoff. :bow:

The episode has got that feel of romance J-dramas, while still featuring the various elements (actions, humors, fantasies, etc.) of the anime. :cool:

The HaruMichi scene of the manga is done here as well.
But without the plot incongruity. Thank god the EVIL 90's staff omitted that "we have to look for those three treasures to awake that god that will destroy the world. It's necessary". :dance:

Speaking of the great Mari Tominaga, #95 marks her grand debut!

Overall, not much exciting stuff happens in this episode as it focuses on Umino and Naru.
We can see Tominaga still trying to find her footing and getting used to fit into the mold of the Sailor Moon design.

I really like this episode's style, it greatly reminds me of '90s Shounen anime' style making me think a lot of Yu Yu Hakusho and Jigoku Sensei Nube. :dance:

The HaruMichi scenes are absolutely stunning to look at!







Surprisingly, the characters get to look very mature in some shots.







Michiru was always a romantic, have you listened to her hit song, 'Unmei wa Ustukushiku'? :P







Mari Tominaga would go on to become a very prolific animator on the Detective Conan series to even be promoted as Character Designer.
We can see some early glimpses of the Detective Conan style here.

Some more interesting shots of Ep.95.

I wish Naru was more of a recurring character and an ally to the girls, unfortunately by the time of S there's already 10 characters in the main group so it would have been near an impossible task when the plot was being written as the episodes were being produced...




Very shounen anime like shots!






Kaolinaito-kun!!!




These are not eye catching art but I love how everyone has a different, distinct expression.


Ami being a cute mess.
In #45, she mentioned how she wanted to experience a full blown romance and it continues here :P

As @Talentless Fool said before, the 90’s anime does a lot more to convey the girls’ friendship, through not just the dialogue but the character acting. See the way Rei puts her hands around Ami when she feels embarrassed in order to comfort her. It feels relatable. Whereas in Crystal they would always be standing a meter apart with the same copy paste body language and face.

I don't typically think much of R's ending but there were these parts




A majority of the artwork for the episode is likely in favor of the movie that has very similar shots.

Those small details so delightful to spot, it's one of the reasons I treasure the 90s anime so much.

I wonder if newer generations find these shots as charming and endearing as I do, because boy do they make me feel warm and tingly inside!

Just asked my little brothers. One said "no" in a playful manner and the other shrugged.
