For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, the people demanded more Sailor Moon, and so, we’re continuing on, with episodes 85 through 90 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 conclusion of the Black Moon Clan arc, including the series’s only clip show; we will finish off with the first episode of season 3, which features the long-awaited debuts of Sailors Uranus and Neptune.
After that is The Illusionist (2010), a French cartoon directed by Sylvain Chomet of Triplets of Belleville (2003) fame, based on an unproduced 1950s script by filmmaker Jacques Tati (known for Mon Oncle [1958] and Play Time [1967], among other films.) A French magician goes to Scotland in search of fame and glory, and meets a young woman who thinks his magic is real. Can he keep up the masquerade? I guess we’ll find out. Excellent reviews for this one across the board, and Belleville was a hit, so we’re watching it.
We’ll start 8PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies
Be there, comrades!
