At last the saga of the Dracula myus has finally come to a close with this episode's coverage of the myu Last Dracul Saishuu Shou. We're not quite sure what happened in this one. Mandrake siblings, tiny werewolf babies, and a triangle box that is a prison sometimes but not all the time raise a lot of questions. But we do our best to put our heads together and figure it out. Not too sure if the mystery of the triangle box will ever be solved though.

We're talking about what was once known as Ronin Warriors in the U.S., possibly better known now by it's original title, Yoroiden Samurai Troopers thanks to its current availability on Crunchyroll.

Named "one of the most important anime series of the 90s" by Anime News Network, it's a beautiful mosaic of classic shoujo styling, takarazuka, shadow puppetry and a whole lotta symbolism. We barely scartch the surface in this 1.5 hour episode so don't be surpised if we revisit it somewhere along the road.

It had the potential to be a sexier of version The Ring, but instead of focussing on what could have been a scary, seductive ghost (who was trapped in a well, again, The Ring but sexy), it gets bogged down by fart jokes and unecessary bickering. Minako is her most vacuous , Rei her most callous - the whole thing feels very disjointed and out of character.

We're not sure if it's just because the couple were so terrible or "Amour Eternal" was out least favorite of the post 20th Anniversary Myus, but we legitmately enjoyed this show. More than enjoyed, straight up liked - even loved, in Emma's case. The wigs are still tragic, the Senshi's civilian clothes are ridiculous, and Pegasus is a potentially seisure-indicuing light show, but other than that, this show is great!

While agruably not the worst of the Myus we've reviewed thus far, it's certainly the least compelling due to fact that the villains had unclear motivations and basically didn't do anything. Except fly. Oh boy did Kaorinite every fly. And Chibiusa. And Sailor Moon. And Sailors Jupiter and Venus. And Tuxedo Mask on multiple occasions.

It suffers, albeit less so, from the same problem as the Dracula musicals: too many characters on stage, horrible lighting, Party City wings on Eternal Sailor Moon. And of course the dreaded additional characters and subplots created specifically for the show that no one wanted or cares about. But hey, Demande and Saphir are played by beautiful ladies and not male pseudo-gymnasts in dad jeans, so...2017-01-1700 minLove and Justice: A Serious Sailor Moon PodcastBest of Filler: Episodes 58 & 59 a.k.a. Game of Thrones SiblingsIn honor of the upcoming theatrical re-release of the Sailor Moon R film, we're discussing the aliens upon whom the villain-but-also-Mamoru's-boyfriend was based – Ail and An! Specifically their antics in episodes 58 & 59 of the 90s anime, which was the conclusion of their story, and basically encapsulated the entirety of any semblance of meaningful plot in this classic filler arc. While we start off actually quite enoying these episodes, espcially in regards to Ail's respectful romantic feelings towards Usagi, we don't love the conclusion and ultimately dream up a couple of what feel are superior, but decidedly darker endings.2017-01-1000 minLove and Justice: A Serious Sailor Moon PodcastSailor Drag Race, A Fancasting BonanzaWelcome to the first episode of 2017!

Sailor Moon Super S: Christmas for You & More!Happy Holidays from all of us at Love and Justice! We're discussing the first of two (albeit, almost identical) Sailor Moon Christmas albums, Sailor Moon Super S: Christmas for You. We have no idea why it exists. It's literally just the seiyuu of the Inner Senshi, collectively called "Peach Hips" singing very unoriginal covers of Christmas songs your grandma knows. But they're all pretty good singers. We also talk about other Sailor Moon related topics and generally express our thanks to you, our wonderful listeners, for making what has been objectively a pretty tough year, really rather wonderful.2016-12-2100 minLove and Justice: A Serious Sailor Moon PodcastPretty Guardian Plot Deviations: Kirari Super LiveYou know that we here at Love and Justice love our Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. This week we're covering the live performance entitled "Kirari Super Live" (roughly, Glittering/Sparkling Super Live) which was rehearsed and performed literally in the midst of taping the 2003-2004 series. We enjoy this WAY more than we've any right to. There's virtually no plot. The Sailor Senshi lip sync all of their songs. We're not even sure the Shitennou actually want to be there (okay, Zoisite almost definitely doesn't want to be there). But legitimately? If you're a fan of PGSM, we recommend watching this.

Though we're not all in total agreement, we find it to be slightly less spectacular than its predecessors, partially due to the change of cast, particularly in the case of Sailor Moon herself. But we do enjoy many of the new songs, the beautifully, confidently queer and fabulous Amazon Trio, and the precious cinnamon roll that is Helios.

We're covering episode 95 – specifically the original Japanese version, and the often lamented Cloverway dub first seen on Toonami on June 19, 2000. This is the episode wherein the relationship between Uranus and Neptune in the dub was infamously branded "Cousins". Surprsingly, other than that, very little is different between the two versions and Cloverway, again schockingly, actually improved upon some of the moments we had problems with in the original Japane...2016-11-2900 minLove and Justice: A Serious Sailor Moon PodcastFall Favorites: Yuri!!! on Ice w/Xander JeanneretOne of our favorite (and now officially verified on Twitter!) guest hosts, Xander Jeanneret (@Xanderrific), returns to discuss our favorite new fall anime Yuri!!! on Ice. This show has brought so much joy into our lives in the short amount of time that it's been airing that we decided we just really really needed to talk about it. Especially in a time when we could all use a little joy in our lives.

We go pretty deep into themes of not-so-great parental figures and unrequited love, but ultimately come out on top in a tale that emphasizes the value of the bonds of friendship. We're also as convinced as ever that PGSM only had one filming location that they attempted to disguise as many locations through the power of camera angles.

Spoilers: We hate it, but we sure did have fun drinking about, and many thanks to those of you that did the same. We did like that one Spice Girls number that the outers sang.

Harry Potter references abound as we gush over this absolutely adorable film, it's painfully oblivious yet determined heroine, and come to realize exactly what about this story makes it the exact kind of anime that Sam likes most.

For our first episode we're discussing Chibiusa's Picture Diary #1 - Beware the Transfer Student & Chibiusa's Adventure: The Dreaded Vampire Castle the animated short that's based on it (which is very bizarrely titled as there is no castle in it). The basic premise is there's a vampire girl in Chibiusa's fourth grade class, except in the animated version she's actually just a girl who's been possessed by a Dream Lemures, who's luring young boys back to her house and sucking their blood dry.

Thirdly, it contains pretty much the closest thing we'll ever get to the deadly Shitennou/Inner Senshi showdown of Emma's dreams.

Which isn't actually, but sounds extremely dirty. Kelby is offended by the use of a clarinet to represent the sound of what is clearly a flute-like instrument. We're all taken aback by some surprisingly phallic imagery and are once again convinced that being friends with Chibiusa always ends poorly.

This week we're covering act 38/episode 39 of Crystal, most of act 38 of the manga, and episodes 125 through 127 of the 90s anime, but mostly episode 126, which focuses on a very a confusing, seemingly unwarranted showdown between Moon, Uranus, and Neptune. It also contains a redemption storyline for Professor Tomoe in which, not only does he live, but he conveniently has amnesia, thus enabling him to live out a happy life with reborn baby Hotaru, with no memory of all the horrible things he did to her and all of mankind whilst possessed by Germatoid.

A four part epic battle in the manga was compressed into the last six to ten minutes of one episode of the 90s anime, so needless to say, it's a little less intense. As is Pharaoh 90 himself, who's been reduced to a beam of pink light. And Saturn, who just shows up and decides to save the world instead of destroying it like she's supposed to.

We discuss the incredible struggle between Hotaru's soul and Mistress 9, praise Sailor Moon's message that familial love doesn't have to come from the people you are actually related to, and encourage everyone to embrace the doctrine of Princess/Neo-Queen Serenity: that, even when things seem bleak, and even though there are bad people in the world, in the end, love alw...2016-06-1400 minLove and Justice: A Serious Sailor Moon PodcastEpisode 35: Kind of DeadThis time around we're talking act 35 of Sailor Moon Crystal, act 35 of the manga and a little bit of episode 125 of the 90s anime. We're very pleased with the portrayal of Hotaru's mad scientist dad, love what Crystal did with Kaori's possession scene and are still confused as to what the Inner Senshi are attempting achieve by closing their eyes and kneeling with their backs to the Mugen Academy in the classic series.

We are, shockingly, not surprised at all that a hospital in the Juuban district would let you walk out carrying the corpse of a child, delve deep into some Silver Millennium fan theories, and discover that Sailor Moon is probably the primary inspiration for every piece of pseudo-magical fiction that came after it.

As in, she doesn't even appear in the 90s anime, despite the fact the original story in the manga was kind of about her.

We all agree that Ami is a better Batman/James Bond than actual Batman/James Bond, are disturbed by the fact that Professor Tomoe and Kaolinite have clearly just gotten it on every time we see them in the 90s anime, and are delighted that Usagi and Mamoru are very clearly about to get it on right after completing a family art project with Chibiusa.

We applaud Sailor Moon Crystal for beautifully capturing the complex nature of Usagi and Haruka's relationship, love how both Mamoru and Michiru are portrayed as the respective significant others in this scenario, and are super sad to see Mimete gone so soon. Because, silly as some of the plot lines were, we just really love how much screen time she got in the 90s anime.

We're pretty confused as to why 90s Chibiusa doesn't immediately recognize that Professor Tomoe is a Super Villain, wonder if Japan understands how filming works, and have a sexual awakening upon experiencing Haruka's perfect superhero landing in Sailor Moon Crystal.

We're pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoy the classic series, though we're not the biggest fans of the new monsters or Kaorinite's cheap Vegas hooker attire, are moved to tears over the new transformation sequences/attacks in Crystal, and can't get enough of that sweet, sweet Haruka/Michiru lovin'.

To celebrate the occasion we cover both episodes 23 and 24 of the 90s anime, which basically encapsulate the entirety of the Naru/Nephrite romance, which we all agree is extremely unsettling. We praise the accurate portrayal of the stubbornness of a lovesick teenage girl when it comes to actually taking advice from her friends, but that's about it. Also, it should be noted that literally NO ONE seems concerned that Naru's love interest is AT LEAST 10 years older than her.
