Thought the episode was OK. Not to be all crazy but everytime I see one of the characters with their mouth open in awe for what seems like forever I just want to punch them in the face. I hate that weird absent minded expression they always have! I also feel bad for any Rei fans out there. She is such a waste in this series. No personality whatsoever. I thought I would like the idea of Crystal to come from the manga but it's really weird to translate it into a series because there's isn't much time to build up the characters.

Anyways loved the kiss, loved Sailor's V transformation.

Also...can Sailor Jupiter levitate? I saw her levitating everyone.

In the manga they can FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

No seriously there are random moments in the manga where they're flying.

LOL I gotta read the manga again cause I do remember something like that but in this episode they made it seem like it Jupiter that could do all the flying lol.

I think she used her powers to get them to the top of the tower? It would of been nice if they showed her creating the bubble or something.

I know right? It's another random thing they don't really explain well. Not hating but just had a "whaaa" face when I saw it.

I know what you mean. XD 

The manga doesnt explain it either. We just have to expect the fact they can fly.

Manga doesn't explain anything. It's one of my biggest beef with it xD People can do things because I say so, who needs logic.

I just made a post about the lack of characterization on Crystal last night here on Tumblr and I'm so sad now because they clearly can do it, they just can't be bothered to because they'd rather follow the manga faithfully than fleshing out the characters and adding stuff of their own.

I liked Minako's episode, but I felt like there wasn't enough of her in it. I liked that they were taking a bit of a PGSM spin on it. And I loved that moment with Kunzite, but they're such small moments and I'm really tired of milking those small moments for what they're worth because they're all I have.

I liked Usagi/Mamoru, but they're taking way too much screen time here. I always thought their relationship progressed too fast in the manga and I enjoyed it more once they were established because it wasn't so much about them all the time anymore.

I always thought they were using Sailor Teleport but they just didn't show them calling out the phrase.

(also none of them have personalities because of the fast pacedness...like that scene where thy were like "usagi drew us together as friends" i'm like "LOL HOW AND WHEN" It never has shown that. they are just there...)


xD

haha, basically.

I enjoyed this episode more than some of the previous episodes, but I do agree that character development is lacking. (I also don't see the point in keeping the generals alive if they don't contribute anything else to the story.) The animation is still disappointing to me, but I don't expect much in that regard at this point. I did find myself more engaged with this episode, however, and I am genuinely interested in seeing the story pick up where it left off. (That has not been as true with some of the other episodes.)

I love how Mamoru is just like "Oh its ok you can keep the watch since I stole something of yours too!" 

just saw the episode. i squeed at the kiss, it was peerffeect!!" run away as far as you can!"

Venus's transformation is easily the most beautiful of all of them...i did not notice any rubber doll. i was thrilled and pissed at the same time.

aaaand then i screamed when the episode ended JUST before usagi awakened. WWWWWWHHHHHY?!!!!!

also, yes, i am loving the manga eyes!Artemis. i'm wondering if their clothing will get an anime update later on when they turn human..? tis possible. honestly i love BOTH their outfits. i find artemis's rather naughty yummy

I just can't with this episode, it was so amazing!
Venus transformation was the best so far, and I can't wait to see Rolling Heart Vibration animated!
