For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, the people demanded more Sailor Moon, and so, we’re continuing on, with episodes 187 through 192 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 the continuation of the Sailor Stars arc, which features a brand-new theme song and a slew of new sailors.

After that is The Breadwinner (2017), an animated drama from Cartoon Saloon, the Irish studio that made Song of the Sea (2014), which we previously watched, among other films such as The Secret of Kells (2009) and Wolfwalkers (2020). It centers on a girl living in Afghanistan under the Taliban who must disguise herself as a boy to find employment and earn money for her family. Drama ensues. Excellent reviews for this one, so let’s check it out.

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