Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S: Kaguya-hime no Koibito

As you can see, this is one of my favorite Movie out of the whole three movies that came out and here is why!

1. It is actually based off the manga, though in my opinion the manga was way better (you even get to see a party in the beginning of the manga as well as Usagi using the Luna Pen, which she hasn't used in a long time!

2. I happen to like Luna, who some may think is a nag, but at least she does care for Usagi and is actually quite useful in a lot of ways. Anyways, this is based mainly on ... Luna.

3. C'mon, you just gotta love the plot as well as the background music and the characters and villians too. And may i say, the artwork is gorgeous!

It's about a guy named Kakeru, who dreams of going up to the moon And dreaming of a princess from the moon named Kaguya, who he is fascinated by. He is a scientist who has deep feelings for his childhood friend and partner, Himeko, who secretly loves him in return.

Anyways, Luna begins to fall in love with Kakeru after saving her from getting ran over, during which she caught a cold and stuff. Anyways, Luna falls in love with Kakeru and a love triangle forms in front of them and Himeko.

Meanwhile Earth is being controlled by a snow demon named Kaguya also, who wants to take revenge on Earth and stuff.

It's a really good movie that is my favorite out of them all, and i recommend in buying the movie as well as watching the movie too. You'll love it!

The Sailor Moon movies are a pretty mixed bag. The R movie was thin on story, though it did have some great visuals and a killer ending theme song. I can't stand Chibi-Usa, so you can probably imagine how I feel about the Super S movie.

In my opinion, the S movie stands head and shoulders above the other two in almost every way. I'm glad that the focus is on Luna instead of Usagi. Not that I dislike Usagi (quite the opposite), but we get plenty of her in the TV series, so it's nice to see something different. ... Also, they managed to fit quite a bit of stuff into a short running time without making it feel too rushed. The story isn't the most original or innovative, but it still hits all the right notes.

Speaking of hitting all the right notes, the best thing about this movie is the music! It uses all the various musical cues to great effect, without going too over-the-top. My favorite is the beautiful, heartbreaking theme used for Luna-- I cry when I listen to it. The music does a great job of punctuating and enhancing every scene and without it, I don't think I would have enjoyed this movie so much.

This movie centers on characters that are frankly usually ignored in the actual series; Luna and Artemis.

Story: Ok I'll be honest, when I first watched this movie as a kid, the plotline concerning the scientists confused me. I wasn't too sure what their connection was to the movie's villain, or what was going on between the two of them. After watching it again when I was older, I finally slowly understood it. They seemed to mix up the timeline with the past and present, and it can get easy to mix them up.

Other than that, the story consists mainly of Luna, and her feelings towards ... 'stuck being only a cat'. I was disappointed; they didn't take this chance to explain more about both Luna and especially Artemis's past as the manga did, but overall it still was a pretty good plot even with our usual main characters not being seen as much.

Art: Once again, the art is basic Sailor Moon style and there is nothing really that stands out. The ending scene is really nice to look at, especially the transformation sequence.

Sound: Sound wasn't so much of a deal. Didn't have breakthrough songs, and the sounds of the Snow Dancers made my ears bleed.

Character: I'm going to say it here and now. Luna's outcome at the end was the only reason I liked this movie. I cared little for the supporting characters, and the main characters were hardly present.

Another good point was the outer scouts made a believable appearance in this movie with the absence of Saturn, who hadn't yet appeared in the series timeline. The movie even managed to squeeze in short moments between Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask and Mini Moon.

Enjoyment: I liked the movie and thought it was cute to see Luna's outcome and Artemis acting adorable. I wouldn't say it's not necessary to watch because it does have some important scenes to see before getting into the SuperS season.

Overall: A cute fluffy movie, but overall nothing huge.
