For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, the people demanded more Sailor Moon, and so, we’re continuing on, with episodes 121 through 126 of the 1992 series, the definitive magical-girl anime. This is the completely unabridged, unexpurgated, uncensored, Japanese version of the show, including everything that the English dub butchered, altered, and/or cut, which is quite a bit. Tonight’s episodes see us almost (but not quite) conclude the S arc, with Hotaru / Sailor Saturn’s storyline reaching its climax. The Outers want her dead! Can the Inners dissuade them? I guess we’ll find out.

After that is Monica’s Gang in an Adventure in Time (2007), a sci-fi cartoon based on the Brazilian comic strip Monica’s Gang (AKA Monica and Friends), which is a pop-culture institution there, being the equivalent of Charlie Brown in the US or Asterix in France. Four bratty kids get up to all sorts of comic adventures, this one involving a time-machine experiment gone wrong. which has caused the essences of the four elements to scatter across the past and future. The kids have to go find them, or time on Earth will freeze. Dinosaurs, cavemen, pirates, robots, their baby selves, and a cosmic dominatrix stand in their way. Can they save the universe? I guess we’ll find out. This has an extremely high rating on Letterboxd, and Brazilian users seem to consider it iconic for their generation. Let’s give it a whirl.

We’ll start 8PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies

Be there, comrades!
