For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, the people demanded more Sailor Moon, and so, we’re continuing on, with episodes 139 through 144 of the 1992 series, the definitive magical-girl anime. This is the completely unabridged, unexpurgated, uncensored, Japanese version of the show, including everything that the English dub butchered, altered, and/or cut, which is quite a bit. Tonight’s episodes see the continuation of the SuperS arc, which focuses particularly on Chibiusa and her silly antics, as well as the bad guy’s various attempts to obtain Pegasus.
After that is Pokemon: I Choose You (2017), which is the first actual standalone, self-sufficient Pokemon movie. It goes right back to the beginning of Ash’s quest to become a Pokemon Master and shows his first meeting with Pikachu and their emerging bond. I am assured that, for once, the story does not consist of Pokemon shooting beams at each other. For this reason, it received much more attention and better reviews than the prior 12 or so Pokemon movies, and was even theatrically-released outside Japan. Could it be? Do we finally have a good Pokemon movie on our hands? I guess we’ll find out.
We’ll start 8PM EST on Hextube right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies
Be there, comrades!
