This episode was rather forgettable for me. Not bad at all, just forgettable. Oh, but don't get me wrong, there were some scenes I LOVED, such as--

The battle scene, with the girls and Zoisite. I love that they also showed how the fight looked from far away, characterized by an extremely localized thunderstorm. The girls' attacks were incredible, and Mercury was awesome! My only wish is that it went on longer.

Ikuko playing with Luna. That was just adorable.

Sailor V in the game machine! She's so adorable, I want to hug her.

And the appearance of actual Sailor V. I can't wait until she's introduced!

I loved this episode so so so much. Gorgeous animation. Especially on Usagi when she was talking to Mamoru.  Second best episode so far in my opinion.
And dat battle scene. Stunning.

ALL DEM CLOSE UPS DOE LIKE WHY

A little is ok but too much makes me feel like my personal bubble was violently popped 

In other news, our girls are BAMFs, Usagi is a dimwit but we love her (and Mamoru has COMPLETE AND TOTAL ROSE COLORED GLASSES FOR HER OMG), and heeeyyyyyy we actually got new footage for the preview clip

OMG I LOVED THIS EPISODE SO MUCH OH GEEZE.

How can we not all be freaking out over shirtless Mamo? Like Can we please? Cause... damn.

I was getting really really insessed over the possibility of it not ending like I was expecting it to, instead the fact that they really fleshed out the dialog between Mamo and Usagi AND had the girls battle ... man it just really adds depth to it and makes me really happy. I LIKE it when the deviate in these small ways but stay true to the little things that I just love and are important to me... Like waking up in his apparentment... OMG a little slow Usagi... At least he had his shirt on >_> poor thing would have combusted.
