Things that annoyed you in general

Well, Eudial would show up to attack some person. Uranus and Neptune would come in front of her and say: Take our hearts. Today we are volunteers because we want to know how it feels to be shot with a gun.
Eudial would say: Domo arigatou gozaimasu. You really are nice people.

Bang ! The talismans would come out. She would get closer, but, all of a sudden: Shabon spray !
While she doesn't see anything Pluto kills her with Dead Scream.
And now they have the talismans.

Or maybe they would just steal the gun from Eudial and do what Uranus did in ep. 110.

Even if she did, she may have been trying to create a situation where Sailor Moon could get her hands on the Holy Grail. If they'd just stuck their three talismans together in private, I doubt Uranus and Neptune would have been willing to let Sailor Moon have the Holy Grail without any proof that she could use it.

But why would she want Sailor Moon to have the Grail? She didn't even need to use it. She let Mistress 9 put it in a microwave/blender and it broke.

Jeff, I know you didn't mean it this way, but that made me think of a Sailor Moon blender joke.

What's gold and shiny and goes round and round?

The Holy Grail in a blender.

True, but without it, Sailor Moon might have been killed by the improved cormorant-type Daimons. Think of how many times she has to transform into Super Sailor Moon after getting the grail. Or perhaps Pluto was trying to change the past, but failed? Who knows?

Somethng that annoyed me. Saturn never got a decent transformation. All she just does is throw her hand up in the video game. The animators need to go back to animation school if that is the best they can do.

Sorry to disappoint you, but if you'd seen the rest of the footage from the game then you'd know why her transformation sequence is so short. The game abbreviated all of the transformation sequences (possibly for reasons of memory, possibly because they didn't want to break up the game with long pauses), so that the parts where the clothes were seen to appear on the Senshi were removed. Within the game, Saturn's transformation sequence is just as long as everyone else's.

Many of the later Sailor Moon games did feature original animation, but this was both expensive and time-consuming to produce in the mid-nineties, especially as the various studios were already producing Sailor Moon episodes at the rate of nearly one per week. Thus, most of the games have fairly minimal animation but there are a few exceptions - I actually own an animation cel of Haruka and Michiru that was produced for a Playdia/Telebikko quiz game.

Another thing is that Venus transformations are so rare. She never had a "Venus Power" with the other transformation music, and even rarer were here transformations.

Another thing that annoyed me. The fact that the title "Ami's First Love" completely ignores the existence of Ryo.

Rainbow · Post by **Rainbow** » Mon Aug 28, 2006 8:35 am

I think that's because they took it pretty much from the manga, and Ryo's not in the manga. That's also why she uses "Mercury Aqua Mirage" in there, since it's normally a manga-only attack. But oddly enough she uses "Mercury Crystal Power" instead of "Mercury Planet Power" like in the manga.

In the manga, they all had attacks not seen on the series. Mars Snake Fire, Jupiter Coconut Cyclone and Venus Winking Sword.

Oh, how I wish they had animated these attacks ! Coconuts, yummy !

I didn't like Eternal Sailor Moon's outfit: most of the time it was badly drawn, especially the famous cheap carton wings.
She looked as if she were to go to a Carnival parade, so I can't take it seriously when they say it's her true form.

omg i know. i think the idea of sailor moon having wings is cool, bu those wings are just... ugly. they don't even look like wings! i guess it would have been to time-consuming to draw them well or something

I would have bee cool with those wings if they wearn't protruding from her ass... I mean, the base of her wings are really far down her back. Shouldn't they be right around her shoulder blades?

I might be wrong but it looks like Jupiter uses Coconut Cyclone in the 1st opening for S and then the 2nd and 3rd openings cut out the last part of it. Also, I don't think Saturn's attack destroyes the world, atleast not in the anime. She says she unleashes the power of death on her enemy but it will also kill her.

Cardcaptor Takato · Post by **Cardcaptor Takato** » Tue Aug 29, 2006 4:55 pm

Sailor Saturn does have the power to destroy the world. In episode 125 of the S anime, "A Glittering Shooting Star! Saturn And The Messiah!", Sailor Saturn tells Sailor Moon that the reason why she is called the soldier of destruction is because she has the power to destroy a planet, but doing so will cost her her own life.

Oh ok then. I must have been thinking of when Saturn is facing Neherenia and she uses Silence Glaive Surprise because I'm positive she didn't mention destroying the planet there.

Coconut Cyclone is an oddly named attack. It's a Cyclone of "Green Energy" that zaps the target. If you ever see Mako's "Crystal Power", you'd see that it's the only time she uses "Green Thunder" to transform.

Mars also appears to use Snake Fire in that same opening, iirc...

It's not Coconut Cyclone. It's Flower Hurricane.

These sound like drinks. I'll have a Star Gentle Uterus on the rocks.

Yes, and somebody once told me *coughcoughWikipediacough*, that "Winking Sword" is a powered up version of Love Chain, but in the game, it was a "Blast Attack". Anyway, those attacks should have so been put in the series. It would have been better than the "powered up" versions of their first attacks. "Aqua Mirage" instead of "Ice Bubbles", "Snake Fire' instead of "Firebird Ignite" (what is WITH Rei and the animals?), "Coconut Cyclone" instead of "Thunder Dragon", and "Winking Sword" instead of "Meteor Shower". (I still think that it is an offensive attack.)

Too late, I already gave the last one to Setsuna/Trista.
