For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, the people demanded more Sailor Moon, and so, we’re continuing on, with episodes 109 through 114 of the 1992 series, the definitive magical-girl anime. This is the completely unabridged, unexpurgated, uncensored, Japanese version of the show, including everything that the English dub butchered, altered, and/or cut, which is quite a bit. Tonight’s episodes see the continuation of the S arc, seeing the debut of Hotaru and the introduction of Sailor Saturn’s storyline. The stakes are raising.

After that is Mars Express (2023), a French space opera set in 2200 centering on a private detective and her robot sidekick, who must travel to Mars to catch a hacker, who is herself being pursued by assassins. A conspiracy is uncovered, and things escalate from there. Lots of spaceships, space colonies, androids, laser guns, and what have you. Excellent reviews for this one; it is by far the best-known and best-regarded work to date of director Jeremie Perin. Let’s check it out. In case this is giving you deja vu, we were gonna watch this last week, but the rip I had was just the first ten minutes on a loop, so we switched to Tale of the Fox (1937) instead. This time, I have the whole film.

We’ll start 8PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies

Be there, comrades!
