For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, the people demanded more Sailor Moon, and so, we’re continuing on, with episodes 133 through 138 of the 1992 series, the definitive magical-girl anime. This is the completely unabridged, unexpurgated, uncensored, Japanese version of the show, including everything that the English dub butchered, altered, and/or cut, which is quite a bit. Tonight’s episodes see the continuation of the SuperS arc, which focuses particularly on Chibiusa and her silly aatics, as well as the bad guy’s various attempts to obtain Pegasus.

After that is Mystery of the Third Planet (1981), a surreal Soviet sci-fi about a space expedition who collects weird cosmic animals to return to the Moscow Zoo, only to discover that some asshole has been killing a bunch of birds. Time to rescue the birds. This is considered one of the best pieces of Soviet animation, and arguably the magnum opus of director Roman Kachanov, who is otherwise best-known for the stop-motion shorts Gena the Crocodile (1969) and Cheburashka (1971). Looks neat; let’s check it out.

Finally, for anyone who is still awake afterward, we’ll watch the thirteenth Pokemon movie, Pokemon: Zoroark: Master of Illusions (2010). We’re over halfway through these now.

We’ll start 8PM EST on Hextube right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies

Be there, comrades!
