Sailor Moon Crystal Episode 2
The second episode of Sailor Moon Crystal has been out for days now but it wasn't showing up in my Crunchyroll queue for some reason. I had to go look under updated in Crunchyroll;XBMC to find it. Here's my mini review:
That said I'm glad I did because personally I'm enjoying it. I really don't care what others think. I'm not as picky as they are apparenlty... I do think the new Sailor Scout transformations are kind of a step down now that they are CGI but I'm enjoying the style of the rest of it for what it is.
Also, I'm glad they are keeping the arcade as a part of the plot and I like how Sailor Mercury got her transformation pen as a prize at the arcade. It was funny how Usagi got her disguise pen because she was jealous she didn't get a prize too and was hitting the machine. For all we know Luna was sitting inside the machine doling out those prizes.
Arcades aren't really a thing in the USA so much although places like Galloping Ghost may help bring about resurgance.. who knows.. I'm just glad they didn't remove it from Sailor Moon is all.
Also, in the Manga eating ice cream was listed as one of Usagi's hobbies. But we didn't get to see her eat ice cream in this episode.. she invited her friend to go eat ice cream but they didn't get to.
