Sorry I'm late on #FightingEvilByGroupWatch . I had to go buy appropriate attire

you know what I'm gonna say, so I ask your forgiveness for it.

zomg

teh rei

it's odd that the recap PV doesn't mention Sailor Mercury at all

I wonder what's gonna happen in this epis....cursed buses?

Like, transit buses?

American Imperialism

Usagi: astounded by public transit

hey Ami? You shouldn't!

her face lmao

hey Usagi what the fuck

I wonder what they changed this bit to in the DiC dub (if anyone knows feel free to tell me). This is also an interesting illustration of the casual nature of Shinto practice in Japan. I can't imagine anyone in the US casually suggesting going to Hackmann's to buy a crucifix.

threeshadowing

I was told beforehand that Ikuhara directed this episode and yeah, you know, I do see it.

She Is Sitting

he's here to cause problems and no one's gnona stop him

your periodic reminder that Usagi is a bi icon

LMAO

I have decided this is rep.

this is actually kinda funny

sinister!

the music that plays while Usagi is fantasizing about all those "hot guys" she knows is hilarious. It's like the sleaziest, lowest-budget horny jazz they could find.

this still is amazing

Ami's characterization as someone who is extremely smart but has no real common sense is fun. I also like that Usagi's "crybaby" tendencies have once again probably saved her life

DEFINITELY saved her life

okay well now it's a TSUBANA manga, so that's fun

I forgot to screencap it but Rei's crows are named Phobos and Deimos. Amazing.

someone: *sneezes*

Rei:

Usagi being like genuinely hurt is sad :(

oh, well Luna, that's one way to recruit a new magical girl.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmit'sapossibility

Usagi you are a nonsense queen

does anyone know what this chanting is, incidentally?

This is also making me wonder if prophetic bonfires are actually a thing in shrine Shinto. I'm not familiar with them but I'm also not really an expert on the religion by any means, so I might just be ignorant.

(or is being able to tell the future just something *Rei* can do because she's "psychic"? I'm not entirely clear)

so my man Jadeite has just been able to throw people into black holes this entire time and has just not used that power at all, huh? Yeah no wonder he's not been doing great with these schemes

Luna visibly reaching for compliments is pretty funny to me

POG

Usagi pulling a fast one on someone is not something we see a lot of! I wonder if she uses more Tactics (tm) like this going forward

Rei's reaction to all of this would be more understandable if she wasn't already A PSYCHIC, which i'm increasingly wondering if that's the kind of thing that gets brought up once and then never again

god this absolutely rules #FightingEvilByGroupWatch

Yes.

Sad Ami :(

(sorry about the delay, something came up)

SUDDENLY

that was a fun episode. I'll start the next in a minute here, talking abt some stuff with my roommates

Me

I like how the Sailor Soldiers (?) actually like, are planning and doing a bit of investigating here. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Pretty Cure to pieces, but the villains in Precure tend to just kinda show up since fighting the leads is part of their plan.
