For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, the people demanded more Sailor Moon, and so, we’re continuing on, with episodes 145 through 150 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 antics, as well as the bad guy’s various attempts to obtain Pegasus.

After that is Waking Life (2001), a surreal, conversational rotoscoped dreamscape from Richard Linklater (whose films Slacker [1990] and Dazed & Confused [1993] we have already watched.) A young man finds himself in a perpetual lucid dream-state and wanders around talking to various people about dreams. For some reason, Alex Jones is one of those people. A whole of trippiness ensues. Rave reviews for this one, so let’s give it a whirl.

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

Be there, comrades!
