@Lexx Legitimately or illegitimately? Legitimately, adult Swim appears to be the source for the English dubs of Golden Wind and Diamond Is Unbreakable, and in the U.S. at least, they require a cable subscription in order to stream the episodes (or so their website claims). Unsure about other countries. @ArtistFormerlyKnownasKP Chibi-Usa's friends are straight garbage, but that episode where Jun taught him how to vault was pretty funny (if a little strange). If nothing else, the Amazoness Quartet has a lot more redeemable qualities than the Amazon Trio, both in and out of universe.

Sounds weird and also kind of interesting, particularly given that it's Ikuhara's show. It's not very long, either...might be worth checking out at some point, even if I don't like the art style.

This Utena clip is on the Sailor Moon Says channel. so many "wat"s

That was a much better moment, emotionally, than pretty much anything that happened in all of SuperS................SO FAR. I'm really holding out hope for something great in one of these final story episodes, .

Yeah, totally with you on everything you said there. Also, that additional context for Rei helps her case. Episode 33:

Episode 32: @ArtistFormerlyKnownasKP Oh, I wouldn't have minded if she literally murdered the kid, it was her being so horrible to Makoto with not even the slightest attempt to apologize or see eye-to-eye that I didn't like (even after Makoto went and tried to comfort her!). The child-attacking and ultra-cringey singing and performing stuff was pretty funny, though. Also yes, I was hoping it would, because Usagi screamed it in the English dub and I immediately thought of you and laughed heartily, .

And on that note...no, MUST RESIST BACKSEAT WATCHING! I'm going to go watch a SuperS episode, excuse me.

@ArtistFormerlyKnownasKP I loved the dentist episode, I...didn't feel so good about the Minako/Makoto episode, but maybe that's just because Minako was being a complete prick in that episode (...that, and it felt like their power-ups came out of nowhere with no explanation - they hadn't even reconciled before Artemis just randomly announced that they were there with no agency from the girls; at least Ami's seemed a little organic!). Also, I made this photoshop back when I watched this episode after that kid called her a witch: She's totally a witch.

Somehow, I missed this part of your post yesterday, and definitely did not deliberately ignore it. All I can say is...

@majestic

I forgot that lady existed on account of her only appearing in like one, maybe two episodes. If he gets to episode 31, at that point, he probably finishes it because you're only 8 episodes from the ending anyways. That's what I'd reason anyways, .

Please tell me you're joking. Episode 30 & 31:

It doesn't feel like I can really differentiate between my attachments very well - I can differentiate between the *reasons* for my attachments, as in what I particularly like or find compelling or...whatever about a given character versus another, but the end result is still a similar kind of attachment (i.e. I like/love this character), . Might be more of a reflection on me than anything else, though! Yeah, I was going to write an "although on the other hand real people are also the worst...most of the time, which is probably why people become obsessed with characters that can't hurt them or otherwise make their lives more difficult instead" addendum, but it didn't feel like it needed to be stated, .

It's easy for me to get attached to a character - the number of attachments I have for 'favorite' characters can probably be measured close to the triple digits somewhere across all the different things I like (both female and male, although mostly female because male characters tend to be so much more boring...at least to me). I even still have attachments to characters from some of the very first video games I played. Attraction/crushes is a wholly different thing, though - can't say I can ever recall a time where, like, I felt like I loved a character so much that my heart fluttered at the thought of them or when I'll see/hear/read about them next or something like that. So I might be a Minako fan and love her character, but I'm not ever going to be in love with her, . Fictional characters can be really fun and lovable (albeit limited and simplified) ideas of people, but they're no substitute for the real thing.

Good lord, I'm retarded. When you mentioned her being a "walking heart attack" just now combined with what you said earlier about her letting other fellow crewmates dress her (again, you specifically mentioned her dressed as a 'heart attack' for morale reasons), I decided enough was enough and I had to see this heart attack outfit that was so great. After a a couple of minutes of searching for "lexa doig" and "andromeda" and "heart" and then "heart attack", I have since realized that you just meant she looked attractive. Not that I really see it (and maybe this is why I didn't initially understand), but I am one of those weirdos that really only ever is attached/attracted to a person or character after hearing their voice, seeing their mannerisms, their personality and how they behave, etc., so I'm just about the last person to ever ask this to begin with. I have a notorious difficulty with enjoying live-action sci-fi television (animated stuff or books are fine, television and often even feature films completely fall apart for me - what I have watched of shows like Star Trek, X-Files, Firefly, etc. has never been me personally deciding to watch them). Theoretically, if I fell enough in love with the cast, I suppose the limitation probably wouldn't apply...but the chances of that happening for any given show are very low.

Worf is great. Worf's episodes are also just about universally terrible, but the character himself is good, .

Fourth and final episode of Sailor Moon, Catch Pegasus: The Amazon's Trap. Good lord, the animation is so terrible. If anything, you undersold how bad it is. Also, I'm so glad this part of the show is over, these guys are really truly the worst. Here's a collection of 'nice' screencaps I put together, for history's sake:

Literally the only place I've ever heard of this show is the couple of mentions you've given it in this thread, . "middle of season 2" >has 5 seasons. Yikes. Let me guess: you hate-watched the rest of it? Hawk's Eye, and I quote: "She's got a kid with her. Well, that's okay - it might make it even better." My gosh, this whole mother sob story with Hawk's Eye is so incredibly uncomfortable, I'm just letting it play without actually watching right now. How the hell doesn't Ikuko recognize her children or their voices - COME ON, LADY! Oh, actually, she was passed out. Hey, Minako used Love Me Chain to move Usagi and Chibi-Usa out of the way - that's what I'm talking about regarding different attacks having different uses! I thought Ikuko might actually be spared after Sailor Moon's Sailor Body Attack, but alas, .

Okay, I think we can now pinpoint the exact moment Usagi completely regressed in SuperS: her mom showing her terrible test scores to everyone while not giving her a piece of the lemon meringue pie. It was a quintuple whammy - humiliated just like back at the start of season 1, and denied her greatest and most favorite vice: food...and then it turns out she WAS supposed to get a piece but Chibi-Usa ate it, then her mom told her to be the bigger person, AND THEN her mom told her she was basically stupid and to grow up! It all makes sense!

Yeah, that was pretty messed up by Tiger: he seemed even more creepy than usual in this episode than the rest of the season that I saw him. Also, unlike later, I did watch all of the first episode, since I was curious about the stock footage. It was greaaaaat. Seems to happen in both English and Japanese: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/gk2qo6znvndqpc9/YpS51mE0wr.mp4 Very strange, since, again, only the first four episodes (and my episodes are all from the same source, so that's a weird coincidence that it was these episodes in particular that were missing!). Minako and Usagi abusing the hell out of Artemis and Luna in tandem - good job, girls. Those cats have it coming to them, especially Artemis. Well, not really, but Chibi-Usa with the stone-cold, "...Welp, I guess she's handling things pretty darn well." Even though she has a serious horse problem, I'm pretty sure I've liked Chibi-Usa a bit more this season than I have Usagi. At least Chibi-Usa's still a twerp to explain some of her more childish regressions...Usagi doesn't have that excuse as much. Tiger Horse is making me cringe so bad right now, why is he so much creepier now than he is later? Do I already have amnesia for SeasonS even though I haven't even finished it yet? This dancing sequence with the minion, though... Also, we have Matoki's sister targeted in the first episode, then Matoki's girlfriend in the next? This poor guy - with all the random people that were targeted this season, friends and family alike, I'm surprised Fish Eye didn't target like Shingo or something at some point. (e): Good lord. Well, I guess I should've watched the next episode preview first before saying that, because I guess the next one is going to be Usagi's mom... What the hell?

Gesundheit! Actually, I think I've seen this episode...I haven't seen all of the series, and what I've seen is patchy (i.e. not concentrated to any specific season), but I pretty much universally despised all Troi episodes, and I especially remember disliking the ones with her mother.

To a degree - and coincidentally, I've had more free time lately, which is why... Yay, I finally got properly introduced to Pegasus. Chibi-Usa running down the streets in a dream-like sequence, desperately looking for the sources of those neighs... Nobody noticed the giant lightning storm that happened while there was no other light? "Sometimes, you just have to hop on your white horse..." NO, BAD CHIBI-USA! Tiger Wallet is being extra creepy in this one. Chibi-Usa and Usagi are at least getting along like it's still the end of S, though! Oh man, this old stock footage (not to mention the lack of a super long attack animation) is so much nicer than the new stock footage - kind of wish they'd just stuck with that, especially with Chibi-Usa just humorously running into frame, . (e): lol, I just noticed that in the second episode, the cast just screams "SAILOR MOON...SUPER!" during the title drop. For some reason, they only do this for the first four episodes, coincidentally the first four episodes I didn't see yet?
