Sailor Moon S Movie: Hearts in Ice

I got really high when I watched this... like, an 11/10 high session with edibles and vape combined... This was quite an experience...

My summary/comments:

Luna falls in love with a human... a scientist obsessed with theories of Princess Kaguya and the moon goddess...

Meanwhile, an alien arrives, trying to turn the Earth into a beautiful frozen wasteland...

The 8 Sailor Soldiers fail to stop her... she chases down Moon + Chibimoon... This enemy was banished from Earth earlier... far away from the silver crystal's light... now it has finally returned...

Luna and Artemis are so cute in this... Artemis is worried that Luna fell in love with someone else...

Pluto: "It's as if time has stopped..."

Luna learns that the one she loves is in love with someone else... she goes to Usagi, praying to the moon goddess herself, wishing to become human so that she could at least tell him how she feels about him... this is sounding amazingly similar to the Princess Kaguya story...

Then the enemy comes for the jewel that Luna's love interest is holding... Luna returns to her senses, recognizes that jewel and remembers the evil Princess Kaguya who was banished away by the Silver Crystal power of love and friendship...

Luna prays once again...

If I could be a human girl, I could be that Princess Kaguya for him... He'd become strong enough to fight off the evil energy.

Kakeru collapses when trying to chase down the enemy...

Someone... tell Hime... about Princess Kaguya...

Finally Sailor Moon shows up to fight her.

You shall sleep forever in my ice that never melts!

Sailor Moon tries to reason with this psycho... little does the psycho know, it's hard to argue with an invincible moon goddess...

There is no beauty in a world that is completely still.

She gets out the silver crystal, changes to her Princess form...
Princess level is like, her highest power rank, that is above even her ascended Super Sailor rank... When she goes into this form there's just no stopping her.
The other Sailor Senshi are now combining their powers to help their princess... Chibimoon and Tuxedo Mask join in as well... Then all of the other soldiers ascend to their Princess forms... and they all shout "Silver Crystal Power"
Sailor Moon prays together with all of them, and talks some deep philisophical stuff...

The stars of the universe keep moving as they nurture lives.

We, on this little planet we call Earth, were given these lives.

This is getting into Carl Sagan territory now...

Even Luna ascends into her Princess level... she becomes human... She brings Kakeru into space to grant his dream of being with Princess Kaguya... Kakeru recognizes Luna by the moon mark on her forehead and the ribbon he gave her... Kakeru talks about how he was an astronaut out in space and happened to see a goddess flying around... and Luna had seemed to be speaking to him in his dreams...

... w ... o ... w ...
that was so good... took over 2 hours to watch this 1 hour movie because I was spending so much time deep in thought, analyzing my own take on the story and trying to put it into words... I don't know if I conveyed it well but... this movie really had an affect on me.

Sailor Moon S high session 9 (season 3 finale)

Episode 124

An army of daimohn eggs hatch and form a barrier around the Deathbusters HQ, leaving only a star-shaped gap at the top... The senshi are about to teleport inside... then Mistress Nine grabs Sailor Moon through a portal.

Pluto stops time to allow Uranus and Neptune to get inside... tells them to believe in Sailor Moon, the true messiah... The 4 inner planet senshi don't have any other way of being useful, so they form their own barrier around the Deathbusters academy... to try and keep the silence messiah from getting out into the rest of the world... This is kinda similar to what happens in the bad future in season 2... the 4 senshi are forming a barrier around Crystal Tokyo in that future... I think in this case though they're stopping the evil from escaping, whereas in the R future, they were keeping the last remaining humans protected inside their barrier.

Neptune and Uranus confront the demon inside professor Tomoe... that creepy grinning dark face, that was the demon inside Tomoe all along... It splits into 100 demons, traps them... they summon their talismans to fight back...

Meanwhile Sailor Moon is lost in darkness... she finds Hotaru/Mistress Nine... she tries to trick Sailor Moon into using the grail to turn super... she doesn't fall for it... Then Uranus and Neptune show up here to save her...

Mistress Nine is about to summon the true last boss, Pharoah 90... this is getting really intense... Pharoah 90 seems even more powerful of an abstract entity of darkness than Metallia and Death Phantom were...
