    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,…

    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…
