For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, the people demanded more Sailor Moon, and so, we’re continuing on, with episodes 127 through 132 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 S arc, and the beginning of the SuperS arc, which focuses particularly on Chibiusa and her silly aatics.

After that is Ethel & Ernest (2016), a British animated coming-of-age story based on the autobiographical picture book by Raymond Briggs, whose work was also the basis for The Snowman (1982) and When the Wind Blows (1988). Briggs’ parents meet, get married, and raise their son Raymond during WW2 amidst bombing raids and other financial strains, and so on. But the family perseveres. A nice, cozy movie with a warm aesthetic. Excellent reviews for this one, so let’s watch.

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