For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, the people demanded more Sailor Moon, and so, we’re continuing on, with episodes 19 through 24 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 Nephrite arc, including his doomed romance with Naru. After that is Studio Ghibli’s The Boy and the Heron (2023), since a decent-quality camrip has finally appeared. In this latest highly-acclaimed addition to the filmography of Hayao Miyazaki, a yonng boy loses his mother, and attempts to cope as he deals with his stepmother, who looks just like his mom, and a mysterious talking bird who heckles him. Drama ensues. Great reviews for this one, so we’re giving it a whirl.
We’ll start at 9PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies
Be there, comrades!

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.
Can't wait!
