I didn't like this episode as much as the others.
I loved the Hotaru scenes. Her cybernetic parts look so creepy, uncomfortable, and painful.
Normally I like stock footage, but here it is clear that they were just adding it in to fill time. The Inners attacks, Pink Sugar, and especially Moon Spiral were so long. Why even show the full Moon Spiral sequence if it's obvious that it's not going to work? But the shot of Cyprine from a rear view when blocking Moon's attack was so badass and also reminiscent to the 90s anime. I remember Eudia's death also was a 90s throwback.
I also thought it looked super odd how the fight reused the Jupiter punch scene and the Neptune mirror absorbing scene.
Like it was said before, they could've cut down on the stock footage for this episode to show Super Sailor Moon.
I don't mind the reuse of the kitchen scene, the Usagi running through the hall scene, and the lab scene, since they were barely noticeable (at least to me) until someone posted about it.
I really loved Cyprine and her Ribbon Buster attack.
I also loved Sailor Pluto's unnamed charge attack at the Inners. I like how she had a reddish aura in the attack and in the next episode preview instead of a purple one like the old anime did. That bothered me so much. Why did Pluto get a purple wand, purple nails, and purple aura and purple everything when she literally wears no purple and that's Saturn's color?
I hated how in the Kaolinite pool scene, she is represented by a purple light and in the previous episode Dead Scream is purple. Should've been reddish! lol.
And I don't mind that Sailor Pluto doesn't have a transformation this season, mostly because I prefer her super outfit better so it would be more of a hype to see her Crystal power transformation. Same with Saturn. Love her regular outfit, but I'd like to see a super form transformation since I like that outfit better. And it seems more organized in a way if Pluto and Saturn get their henshins next season.
