"In the name of God, I'll Punish You!"

Did she go Republican!? 😉🤣

[Mr. Idea Box]

Well, it's about time we got a general discussion board for Sailor Moon. Not that I'm complaining.

[CorbeauKarasu]

..that was definitely vic mignona in the sailor mercury episode, right...?

[OwlChemist81]

Bump for tonight, 5 weeks later!?

Nothing says "Happy Halloween" like an EEEEVIL Tuxedo Mask!

 

[OwlChemist81]

Note that this afternoon it's #36 & #37.

Next week (11/1) it's #38 & #39

Then...

11/8 #40 & #41

11/15 #42 & #43

11/22 #44 & #45

Could we expect a shakeup on 11/29?

Sailor Moon only has 46 episodes, so do we just start the next entry in the franchise then?

[OwlChemist81]

It's a whole ass vibe.

And It's ON NOW!!

[OwlChemist81]

#40, some kinda lake monster...

[OwlChemist81]

Eat your heart out, Tenchi!

[Mr. Idea Box]

Swimpedia recently updated their Toonami schedule, and it doesn't look good for the Sailor Scouts.

In short, Sailor Moon only premieres one new episode, the season finale, while the week after that is a DBZ Kai marathon.

On the one hand, this puts Toonami Rewind 3-4 weeks ahead of the main block for Kai episodes. On the other hand, it's a stall tactic for the least played show of the three.

I'd like to hope they're doing some housecleaning, and we'd get some confirmation on the shows they're airing in December and beyond. But I'm still preparing for the alternative answer.

[PokeNirvash]

Well shit, I was hoping they'd immediately transition into R. It's an odd number of episodes, and with how season 1 was being doubled-up, running both and then stopping there would've been perfect. Massively disappointing if it turns out Rewind is gonna instantaneously degrade into the DBZ Family Variety Hour after all that.

[Toonamiguy321]

They might just be stalling till next year for the budget reset to get the next season. A costly way to stall though since it’s gonna eat up a lot of Kai. 
 

Or maybe they just decided the Rewind experiment is was not worth continuing on and they are exhausting what’s left of the licenses they bought before winding it down. 

[Top Gun]

Regardless of what happens, I'm seriously grateful to Rewind for finally motivating me to sit through this. If they aren't able to air R, I'm going straight into it on my own.

[OwlChemist81]

Episodes 44 and 45 today!

In the Name of the Moon, we're almost done!

[Top Gun]

Heh, that was an all-time Toei title for episode 45. Nice to know some things never change.

[MasqueradeOverture]

Pierrot's no slouch either.

Spoiler

The Death of Genkai

 

[OwlChemist81]

Only an hour until we see how this ends!

[OwlChemist81]

Thanks to the Egg Bowl, I may not be watching the finale at 5:30/430 central. 🤷‍♂️

[Top Gun]

It's such a rare privilege to watch something and know that you're seeing an all-timer legendary anime moment. What a finale. Tell you what though, I would have been pissed at how things left off way back when if I didn't know there were 4 more seasons to follow. 

[OwlChemist81]

Oh yeah. Fantastic!!
