Btw don’t you think Saionji looks a bit similar to that green haired chick in the episode where Usagi played baseball

i recommend the episode where Sailor Jupiter joins the team and the one where her lunchbox gets stepped on so she summons an effing dragon to do her biddings BUT yeah this actually a really great list. THE BASEBALL ONE TOO.

Awwww I can’t believe ep34 didn’t make the cut!

I’m glad you mentioned these! Sentimental lunchboxes and awkward elevator rides are also crucial pieces of the Sailor Moon viewing experience.

I generally like your liveblogs, but let me just say as a girl who has played softball her entire life and is about as clumsy and ditzy as they come it’s really not that hard to catch a ball. I’ve accidently caught a ball in outfield with just pure luck and prayer multiple times and definitely not something for you to rant about. It was an adorable moment and you kinda ruined it.

I’m really sorry I made you feel that way, Anon. I have a lot of respect for people who play sports and stick with them for as long as you did. That’s really admirable.

Granted, I know very little about sports, whether major league or local community team. In context of the scene, the problem I have isn’t with Usagi; I guess the problem I have is that no-one else in the game scored any points at all, right down to the last inning. Usagi deserved to catch that fly ball. It’s the circumstances surrounding the catch that seemed contrived.

I’m really glad Usagi caught the ball; it was the exact personal validation that she needed. I just let my natural cynicism toward stereotypical sports-movie endings color my view of an otherwise genuinely sweet scene, and I’d like to thank you for bringing that to my attention. 

Siren is actually my favorite “Villian” in the entirety of the Galaxia arc of Stars. SHE’S SO SWEET AND ADORABLE I CAN’T EVEN

I like that you put “villain” in quotes, because I often find myself hoping that, just this once, she will succeed even though her station as secondary antagonist dooms her to fail. I loved Iron Mouse, but Siren is so sweet she acts like she just got her evilness permit from the prize at the bottom of a cereal box rather than working through the ranks to earn it. And that sort of crushes me inside.

The underdog team won the game by a single point because they believed in themselves! What a creative dramatic twist!

so she powers up her scepter by making it longer with the power of love

carry on there is nothing freudian about this

“The military draft was hard on us all, but I swear the new recruits get younger every year. War is hell, ChibiChibi.”

“Chibi?”

While everyone else was focused on baseball training, Minako turned to crime in the name of career advancement.

How did Siren ever get her villainy license?

“Hear that? The stars are sending a message. Listen. They’re telling you to improve at baseball so we can win the game.”
