OK... now this series is starting to get interesting. Act 7 was a lot better than I thought it was gonna be. As usual, it follows the manga closely. We're introduced to Queen Metallia as expected. Zoisite comes back for Round 2, and Usagi is reluctant to tell her friends more about Tuxedo Mask because she has already fallen for him. Lastly, Sailor Venus is teased throughout the episode.
But what really made this episode stand out were three things...
1) Umino's brainwashing making him unleash his inner creepy otaku.
2) That moment Tuxedo Mask first called Sailor Moon "Usako".
And my personal favorite...
3) Tuxedo Mask having a "Catch a Fade" moment. Wasn't expecting this to happen... at all. Respect.
This was an excellent episode, and due to the nature of the manga, it can only get better from here. Come Act 10, my expectations will be very, very high, as I expect from this minor deviation of keeping the four Heavenly Kings alive an all-out battle royale between the Inner Senshi and the four Heavenly Kings. But for now, I must bask in the current hype...
V-Chan. In simulcast streams everywhere October 18.
