![]() i don't have anything against the idea in itself but when that's what every single girl gets you start wanting to hit authors in the head until they let a girl be strong already. speaking of, i was super into the storyline mamoru had this volume and the previous one! d'you know how much shonen i've read where the few female characters angst over how their weakness is dragging the team down and vow to do their best to catch up and support their male counterparts? SO MANY. Swapping gender roles makes me deeply happy. she kissed him awake! proper happy making fairytale material, that is also magical healing while we're at itįor those who need confirmation: yes, i think helios and rin will be very cute indeed once she's a bit older. ![]() who know each other and have already established a baseline of being down with kissing. congratulations on your face my friend! how did you get your hair so gorgeous, inquiring minds want to know)Īlso it's like well if there's going to be magical kisses to be had, it ought to be the princess kissing a prince. (digression: did you see human!luna this volume, wow, what a hottie. when we wake up it's through friends and cats! friends who are cats even! ![]() :l waking up to two children a rapist impregnated you with is my idea of a horror story, not the start to a happy ending)īut! sailor moon is great because it's basically like i'll call you your curse and raise you a lol, you think you've got that kind of control over destiny, no one messes with the sailor crew. ![]() it reduces her to passivity and the kind of dude who goes about kissing sleeping strangers does not seem like good husband material, you feel me? (to say nothing of earlier versions where he does more than just kiss. i think that's probably how a lot of people feel about hades and persephone, if the number of retellings it gets is any indicationĪnyways what i generally obsess over is the sleeping for a hundred years till the prince kisses her awake bit. sleeping beauty's a tricky fairytale for me because i'm drawn to it in a way that keeps me imagining ways to fix it. It pains me to give such a harshly negative review on a series I love so much, but the only good thing I can say about this volume is that I was happy it ended this story arc.ĭid you see all the fractured sleeping beauty stuff going in this volume? i'm into it. I didn't like the look of the new guardians, either. It's a classic case of too many cooks in the kitchen (or too many characters in the book). If every chunk of rock in the universe has a sailor guardian, that really diminishes the power and importance of the planetary guardians. ![]() The introduction of dwarf planet and asteroid sailor guardians was completely unnecessary and just too much. While the previous volume made up for a dull, superficial enemy with absolutely superb character development, this volume didn't even have that to hold it together. Nothing felt original, the dream/nightmare sequences were confusing and difficult to follow, I often couldn't tell what was happening in the physical world and what was happening in the dreams. The Dark Moon plot was all together lackluster and almost a carbon copy of the popular fairytale of Sleeping Beauty. Unfortunately, that turned out to be the case with this volume. After being blown away by the arc involving the introduction of Sailor Saturn, I feared that the series would only go downhill from there since that arc was just so perfect, I couldn't see how it could possibly be topped. ![]()
