The Animation Art of Ikuko Itoh – Episode 104
Episode 104: Seeking Friends! Chibi-Moon’s Actions Observations: I’ll admit it. I really don’t like this episode. I’ve mentioned before that Chibiusa is my least favourite character, so episodes surrounding her make me grit my teeth. (Rewatching SuperS is a real trial,…
The Animation Art of Ikuko Itoh – Episode 94
Episode 94: Protect the Pure Heart! A Three-Way Battle Observations: Huuuge leap forward now, almost 30 episodes. Ikuko Itoh has been promoted to Chief Animator, and the general look of the series has subtly shifted over to her style, as she…
The Animation Art of Ikuko Itoh – Episode 68
Episode 68: Protect Chibiusa! Clash of the Ten Warriors Observations: I had to scrap the first batch of screenshots because I discovered the hard way that they were in the incorrect aspect ratio. Watch your fingers when you’re using VLC, ladies…
The Animation Art of Ikuko Itoh – Episode 55

Episode 37: Aim to be a Princess? Usagi’s Weird Training Observations: Parallel from the first and last shot of the episode with Usagi late for school and running with a piece of toast in her mouth. The scene of Naru and…
The Animation Art of Ikuko Itoh – Episode 31
Episode 31: Loved and Chased! Luna’s Worst Day Ever Observations: This episode should be called “The One Where Luna Makes Every Silly Expression Ever” The other three Senshi are drawn to look fairly average, but Rei looks exceptionally beautiful. It…

Does Princess Serenity Have A Father?
Short Answer: Nope. Or at least, there’s very little information about the Moon Kingdom in general, and I suspect it is deliberate that Princess Serenity does not have a father. Note that Usagi Tsukino (who is not the same person…
Pegasus, Helios, Elysian & The Golden Crystal
PEGASUS Pegasus is a magical creature with the ability to communicate telepathically. This is the form that Helios’ spirit takes while he is on Earth, and he is hiding in Chibiusa’s beautiful dream since he cannot survive on Earth otherwise.…
