Episode Review:
Next ep is called "Covert Moves - Wiseman," which introduces Black Lady. So after six or seven eps, we finally get Jupiter, Mars and Mercury back and Rebeus finally killed... even after Esmeraude. In the manga and first anime, Rebeus died before Esmeraude. Much like the Manga does, Saphire's droids were lightly introduced and then killed off. We got Usagi possessed Neo Queen Serenity before the same spot in Sailor Moon R. I like how things are unrolling here better than in R. I liked this ep, except for Demande, he is just another pawn just like in R. But Saphire is radically different than in R, he was much more sympathetic character in R. I also like that we see Pluto more here than in R.
