PGSM Reinako: I have to disagree that Minako at any point got kinder or cared for what Rei could want or need. I honestly can’t remember a single Reinako scene in which she wasn’t entirely selfish.

You might be a little bit prickly too if you knew you were going to die so you deliberately detached yourself from others so they wouldn’t be dependent on you when you’re gone 

i don’t think her increase in kindness was to Rei specifically, but I just keep thinking of the episode where they (sort of) adopted a dog, and they both wanted to be the best at caring for the dog. This small plotline is mapped onto the bigger arc of who can be the best at protecting the princess, and if they couldn’t agree on the best way to raise a dog then they definitely don’t agree on the best way to save a person. The real plot twist is when Rei uses that competitive streak against Minako; in the game show episode, Rei lures Minako into a literal contest for a record contract, but a contest that is designed to prove that a) Minako will fight for what she wants (to keep being an idol), and b) the girls are important for who they are now, not just who they used to be. Minako wins, of course, but she also accidentally learns to love herself and appreciate the people around her. You’re absolutely welcome to your interpretation; this is just how I saw their arc.

  8. Artemis confirmed for a single father raising his baby Senshi

  9. Makoto rowing like it’s the Olympics
  10. actual screentime for Sailor V

honourary mentions:

  • Kitagawa Keiko’s face
  • Minako is a pop idol
  • Reinako Central Station
  • being an introvert is not treated as a flaw of character
  • what’s plot? this is Senshi Feels: The Live-Action Series
  • unitentionally hilarious moments of which there are many
  • Mako punched Tuxedo Kamen in the face
  • quit making me ship Makotoki

Perfect, now I can watch Act 31.

not to be creeping on your blog for more PGSM content but LOOK AT ALL THE GIFTS THIS SHOW HAS GIVEN US

On a lighter note: look at the sparkly sneakers Makoto wears during the competition

Tags: i have many weakness and this is one of them, just minako realizing that she wants to live and trying to comfort herself when no one is there, no music no dialogue, pgsm 40, , the lighting is kinda inconsistent but WHO CARES

Tags: , and if she gives up now she can't have either of those things, and this isn't for VENUS either, GOD this episode is destroying me, pgsm 40, rei literally planned that whole thing to persuade minako to get life saving surgery, she knows minako loves to sing and would love to have friends, , this is for MINAKO, this isn't to save the leader of the senshi this is to save the pop idol with a heart of gold   

Are you KIDDING ME the whole game show was just a cover for persuading Minako that life is worth living

They’re doing such a good job. I hope their vending machines give them two snacks when they only paid for one.

Tags: and it was GREAT not interrupting those friendship moments with 30 seconds from the dark kingdom or something, and then they go to the dark kingdom for a few minutes to update everyone's motives, and they see what's going on with mamoru's troubled psyche, good editing, good job team, most episodes bounce around from character to character, pgsm 40, , the show knows when to do that and when not to, then back to the karaoke bunker for a debrief, then they show metalia glowing spookily, this episode was actually pretty linear and focused, this one kept pretty close to the aristotelian unities of time and location   

vetoed. there’s only two minutes left of the episode
