For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, the people demanded more Sailor Moon, and so, we’re continuing on, with episodes 73 through 78 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 Black Moon Clan arc, including a two-part showdown with clan ringleader Rubeus, and the debut of Sailor Pluto.

After that is Alice (1988), a Czech stop-motion fairy tale that asks, “What if Alice in Wonderland was a little…twisted?” It reimagines the tale into a creepy dark fantasy full of unsettling imagery (though nothing R-rated) and spooky situations. It is generally considered the magnum opus of animator Jan Svankmajer, and is his best-known work, as well as one of the most famous animated films from the Eastern Bloc.

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

    Oh this is exciting! I really think that this adaptation of Alice is the best that's been put to film. The story is quite different from the books in terms of exact events. But the tone of the movie is absolutely spot-on.
