Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
One of my all time favorites.
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Well, this movie certainly doesn't compare to Akira with animation, but it's still amazing, with it's glittering rainbows and cheerful characters, this movie is safe for kids but still mesmerizing for adults. The plot follows the story of Luna, a feline who loves a human guy. Despite Luna's efforts to entice him, he is engaged to a scientist from the nearby space station. Luna decides to ask her friends, and her owner Serena, for help and advice.This movie was as sad as it was beautiful, the story was very tragic. If you can get a copy of this movie, it's better to watch it with English subtitles - English dubbing it didn't do it any favors. It's a great movie to watch during the winter, and its flawless animation and wonderful soundtrack make it even better.
I loved this movie, both in English and Japanese. I have some positive and negative feed back thought.Positive Feed Back: the story was heart warming, despite that it is a movie about ice and snow. I really felt Luna's pain and I wanted her to find love, but not with who she was crushing on. I also adored Usagi (Serena)'s speech at the huge fight scene. Sailor Moon always has great empowering speeches about life and love. Sometimes, when I want to cry happy tears or write a great scenes for one of my novels, I watch just that segment. Negative Feed Back: Luna's choice in relationship was disturbing to me. Even though I wanted Luna to fall in love and I felt for her, I still didn't like her crush. I felt it was wrong considering that she is a cat and not a human, and her crush was a human. She even kisses him. Very, very wrong.
This is a wonderful story. It is the best of the three BSSM movies. It's better though, if you watch it in Japanese. The dub is soooooooooo annoying (esp the cut type)! In English the voices all sound so whiney. Plus, they're almost always SCREAMING! It's really good and really touching and if you're emotional -like me- it will probably make you cry in a few parts the first couple times you watch it. If you get the DVD, it has some special features. Like removable subtitles and a English/Japanese language selection. It also has a still shots gallery. Oh! And the song at the end,Moonlight Destiny is so beautiful. Luna is the leading character in this movie and that's really flipping the script.
Spoilers herein.I yearn for cinematic adventure, so often duck down unfamiliar, sometimes dangerous alleys. I found `Akira' and `Mononoke' to be exhilaratingly challenging. Oddly cinematic. So, with scant knowledge I picked up this anime.The story is simple enough: Faux Shinto warriors in the forms of 14 year old girl scouts live dual lives as silly useless (pre-) teenagers and as superheros who fight evil with the aid of magical gems and wands. It features strong pop music and minimalist animation. At first viewing, didn't impress me at all.Then I checked it out in the literature.Seems this is quite a phenomenon in a few target communities. Preteen girls, as one would suspect. But a much stronger following among males, those who presumably lust after preteen girls. And the characters do what they need to to accommodate this crowd: The girls in their scout/senshi forms have impossibly short skirts which often are the only element animated, never revealing a flash of panty. Most of the plots have a boy-girl (or here girl-girl) `love' element, the villains are older (here topless) women. The gems are vaginal in a Georgia O'Keefe fashion and the wands phallic.Turns out that there is a HUGE web presence of Sailor and similar amine porn, focusing on the Japanese obsessions of menarche, school uniform panties, and the myth of innocent lust.Films define life to a large extent, especially where sex is concerned. Here we have the effect when it has the strongest impact. The series was around long enough to evolve to propagate the meme in the most effective manner. This is real movie power. This is really worth seeing.
