Sailor Moon Crystal Episode 4

I have slacked on these, so I'm going to catch up and do them all right now, so prepare for a spam of posts (since I'm going to do them by episode now).
I'm not 100% sure how I want to do this so bare with me as I play around.

 

Sailor Moon Crystal Episode 4 - Masquerade Dance Party

 

In this episode they are having a meeting about the news that there is a princess coming into town with a special treasure.  Luna is thinking that maybe this Princess D is their princess with the Silver Crystal.

 

It's kind of funny because, even though I know she gets her memory back in pieces with each scout found, she says herself that the princess is in hiding and won't be awoken till all the scouts are together.  So why then does she think this princess who is parading around is theirs?  I don't know.  Anyway...

 

Usagi, however, wants to go to the party merely because she wants to dress up like a princess.  So, of course, after being warned she shouldn't go, she uses her Luna Pen to go anway.

 

Joined by the other scouts, they decide to check out Princess D and she if she is their princess.

Usagi, being more interested in the party, wanders off on her own.  Soon she meets Tuxedo Mask and they start dancing. 

 

She tries to talk with him, and he shushes her....which looked very awkward.  Then, without a word her runs off.  As this is happening Ami and Rei come across the princess and scope her out to find Nephrite attacking her.  He possesses her with his shadow and she runs away crazed.  Princess D proceeds to knock the whole ballroom unconscious. Usagi gets away and tries to stop the possessed princess from jumping off the balcony.

In trying to stop her, Usagi gets knocked off and narrowly caught by Tuxedo Mask.  They fall and Luna yells for her to use the Luna Pen.  She pulls it out of her *cough* cleavage and it pops open into an umbrella giving way to the adorable, iconic scene in every version of Sailor Moon.

 

After falling, Tuxedo Mask runs off, again, and Usagi transforms to go help her friends with the now demonic princess.

Once she transforms she realizes her tiara is missing.  It got burned up by Mars in the last episode.  Feeling the warm feeling she feels when with Tuxedo Mask, a new tiara forms on her head.

 

The evil shadow appears over Princess D, but no ones attacks are working on it.  Luna then tells Sailor Moon that she can now reflect the moonlight with her new tiara, and so she shoots a beam of moonlight at the shadow, destroying it.

 

After the shadow gets destroyed, the real Nephrite appears, along with the other three "kings"

 

They threaten the scouts, though they don't engage battle (which they would of won).  They disappear and the scouts check on princess D, who without her glasses, is actually beautiful (not to say your not if you have glasses)

 

As they are going back, Sailor Moon finds a bench and passes out because she's tired...

Mars and Mercury change back and find out that the "special treasure" Princess D has is a diamond statue, not the silver crystal.

 

While Sailor Moon is sleeping, Tuxedo Mask creeps up on her.  And if you are a fan of this couple like I am, you have a fan girl moment as they have their first kiss.  Well, kind of.

 

Luna pops up and tells him to get away from Usagi.  Way to blow her secret Luna!

They talk and decide that maybe they are enemies since they are searching for the same thing.

It ends with a cameo of Makoto.

END

 

Ok well, this episode was kind of silly.  As amazing as Mamoru is in this version, their romance seems like it is always awkward and full of sexual innuendoes.  Maybe it's just my dirty mind...

 

The animation still has it's ups and downs.  Some parts look amazing, while others look rushed and sloppy.  The lipstick STILL bothers me.  I thought I'd get used to it, but I haven't.

 

But it wasn't that bad. It could of been better, but maybe I'm just holding it to a high standard.  But can you blame me?

 

So next week we'll get to finally meet Sailor Jupiter!

Well, I don't know how I liked this way, I kind of forgot what I wanted to say by the end.  Oh well :)
