Sailor Moon Episode 42 - Sailor Venus' Past, Minako's Tragic Love

Once, a long time ago, I had this idea to try and come up with some clever title for each and every one of these episodes. That idea fell through once I realized the show already does that. That is, if your definition of clever is simply just stringing a long chain of words together to tell you exactly what that episode is about.

Kind of like what I'd hope to achieve, only way less satirical. Just another one of those coping mechanisms I'm not allowed to use because the creators beat me to the punch.

One of these days, I'll get around to posting something that isn't about this show, I swear. One of these days. Tonight is not that day.

Sailor Moon Episode 41 - I Won't Run From Love Anymore! Ami and Mamoru's Showdown

You know, I'm kind of excited. Slowly but surely, I am coming to the end of this thing, and it feels good. Like, seriously good. Completing things is fun, even if those things appear to be an incredibly arduous task that may or may not actually cause physical discomfort while doing them. It's all a matter of finding a way to enjoy things that can best be described as 'an utterly terrible experience'.

Maybe I've grown a thicker skin, and become somewhat inundated to the sheer badness of this show. I mean, it's kind of tapered off I think, so maybe we can just coast to the end and be done with it. That'd be nice.

Sailor Moon Episode 40 - Legendary Spirit of the Lake! Usagi's Family Bonds

I'm getting closer. Slowly, but surely, the end of the tunnel is in sight. Haha. I'm almost done.

For some reason, this thought gives me an incredible feeling of relief. Because when this is over, when I am done with this season, I'm going to give it a full, overall review based on the entirety of it, and lay down a final verdict. It's only fair to settle the score once you've documented evidence of having seen the entire show, right? I think it's fair.

So with that in mind, let's just get down to business folks. 39 episodes down... seven left to go.

Sailor Moon Episode 39 - Pairs with a Youma? The Queen on Ice, Mako-chan.

I am back, for the last day of the usual work week. That is, Friday. Everyone likes Friday. Especially the casual ones, because you will wear those non-black socks and you will like it, yes sir you will, you rebel you.

Today's pre-post non-witty banter is brought to you by Lack of Creativity. Lack of Creativity: For when you just don't give a damn.

No post for Wednesday

Hi folks, just wanted to let you know there won't be a post this Wednesday. Things came up, and I doubt I'll have the time or energy to put into forcing myself through another episode of utter badness. Check back on Friday, and we'll see where things end up then.

Sailor Moon Episode 38 - The Snow! The Mountains! Our Friendship! And a Youma, Too!

Did everyone have a good Father's Day weekend? I certainly hope so. Family is an important thing, and if you are fortunate enough to have family worth giving a damn about, you should totally honor them every now and again with bribes of steak dinners and fine liquors.

I won't go into what I did over the weekend. It was nice. Mostly because I spent the last several days not putting myself through having to watch this show. Sadly, that means I am now behind again, which is always a pain in the ass, because I hate doing these things at the last minute. Sometimes, you just don't have much choice.

Sailor Moon Episode 37 - To Be a True Princess? Usagi in Special Training

This is the 37th episode of the series. It's kind of surreal, in that I have been doing this for so long already, and yet it feels like I am making zero progress. On the other hand, I'm less than ten episodes away from the end of the series, and somehow I have managed to stave off the worst of the mental trauma.

It's been a long way to get here, and I have an even longer way to go yet. Plus I still have that other show to get through at some point. Plus, I'll be wanting to get into some other other shows at some point. I'm thinking, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, maybe? I'm open to suggestions for anything the internet feels would be sufficiently traumatic.

Sailor Moon Episode 36 - Usagi is Confused! Is Tuxedo Mask Evil?

I have had a rather eventful day so far. Lots of wonderful things happening in the world, like E3, which I seem to be following much more closely this year than in previous ones. Might be because I'm between work and have nothing better to do. Might be because the console lineup is kind of exciting. Could even have something to do with the fact that I am interested in some of the games coming out in the next year or so.

But let's just be honest here: I wanted to see how badly Sony could slam Microsoft into the ground, and that shit was downright hilarious.

In fact, I've had such a great evening, I need to bring myself down from this high cloud of awesomilitude. If that isn't a word, then by damn it should be. Let's get to work.

Sailor Moon Episode 35 - Memories Return! Usagi and Mamoru's Past

It's kind of a funny thing y'know, I think I might be on the verge of getting sick. I could attribute that to a lot of different things, but odds are, forcing myself to watch this show probably isn't the best idea I could have.

Still though, the last one wasn't so bad, right? Surely, there could well be some hope for this show actually moving towards it goals quickly, right? I mean, hell, they just finally revealed that magically the person the show is based around is, spoiler alert, the princess of the freakin' moon.

Come to think of it, that might not be such a great thing. Have you seen the moon lately? It's kind of, um, empty these days.

Oh yeah, and there was a thing about Tuxedo Mask dying, but probably not? Might as well see where this leads us.

Sailor Moon Episode 34 - Shine, Silver Crystal! The Moon Princess Appears

Right, so there was this thing, and some stuff happened, and I suddenly didn't know friday was upon us so here we are at one in the morning trying to get this thing out onto the interwebs.

Also, I am totally not drunk. I promise you that. Have I been drinking, on the other hand...?

Let's see where this episode takes us. My best guess? Somewhere horrible.

Sailor Moon Episode 33 - The Final Sailor Senshi, Venus, Appears!

You ever have one of those times where you predict something, and then hate yourself later because it winds up becoming true? Yeah, well remember that time I said this show was going to show up in my dreams?

... yeah I hate myself for saying that because it actually happened last night.

I'm a little bit rusty on my Lovecraftian horror stories, but I'm fairly certain this is beginning of the descent into certifiable madness.

Sailor Moon Episode 32 - Umino's Resolution! "I'll Protect Naru-chan!"

You know, I generally have something incredibly witty or insightful to say before I start writing these pieces. That was all dashed when this was the first thing I saw upon viewing the newest episode:

Just kill me now. Please.

The show hasn't even begun and already my desire to continue watching have plummeted to all new lows.

Why god, why???
