Discuss episode 23 here!

First filler episode!!!!!!


But seriously, almost nothing happened except Usagi angsting over Chibusa and Mamoru and Black Lady tricking the brothers into being controlled by Wiseman.

I really enjoyed this week's episode and I loved finally seeing Black Lady in action.  I also enjoyed seeing Diana again and I thought she was so cute.  I also loved the scenes of the Inners hanging out at Usagi's home and seeing them supporting each other.  The scene where Usagi remembers Chibi-usa was giving me the 90s anime feels.  The animation was pretty good this week to me other than one awkward scene at the end where Sailor Moon and Endmyion running looked weird.  But Black Lady looked fabulous and I'm looking forward to the big finale.  But I'm sorry Wiseman, but a hunk of floating rock is just not a castle.

I like how Crystal fixed one of the errors in the manga. Mako and Rei didn't know that Chibiusa was Usagi's daughter, so they give those lines to Usagi. Someone complained that Crystal stole their moment, but I honestly liked this change in Crystal, it seemed more character development for Usagi, and it didn't really give much character development to Mako and Rei. 

Plus the silver crystal was animated beautifully, and so was Black Lady. I don't really mind the long transformation scene, since the similiar thing happened in episode 11, mostly because it was the last time they transformed in that arc. 

Also I kinda appreciate Black Lady's sass.
