For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, the people demanded more Sailor Moon, and so, we’re going right back to the source, with episodes 1 through 6 of the definitive magical-girl anime, Sailor Moon (1992)! I’m not promising we will continue further, since even just the first season (46 episodes) is a big commitment, but we’ll give the show a try and see how things go. This will be 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 follow junior-high girl Usagi as she receives her sailor powers and proceeds to kick some monster butt, while falling in love with the mysterious young dreamboat Tuxedo Mask. These are all solo episodes, as the other sailors take awhile to show up. After that, by request, is Kubo and the Two Strings (2016), another highly-regarded stop-motion film from Coraline (2009) studio Laika. Kubo lives in a vaguely Asian village, awakens an evil spirit, and can defeat it only by finding his dead dad’s magical suit of armor. Questing ensues. Great reviews for this one, so let’s check it out.

We’ll start at 9PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies

Forthcoming. I have the files, but the most convenient way to upload them is to replace one of the earlier videos while a later video is playing.
