    Listeners, you thought it would never happen, but here we are. The season 2 finale! We're talking about episodes 85-88, which introduce the iconic Black Lady and give Naru and the Spectre Sisters a great sendoff. But…what's this? A villain moon moment!? Excuse us while we take a pause in thirsting after Saphir to applaud his efforts to protect those he cares about. So let's jam out to one of the best songs in the series as we watch our girl defeat the bad guy yet again. Because in the name of the moon, she'll punish you.   WebsiteInstagramTwitterYoutubeTik Tok

    What's this? A new scout?! Sorry Ami, your episode was cool and all, but let's welcome Sailor Pluto, guardian of time, to the team. And now, let's say goodbye to her as she stays behind while the Senshi continue to Crystal Tokyo. Don't worry listeners, we'll drown out the skeeviness of Prince Diamond with Drucilla's deep dive examination of how time travel works in the Sailor Moon universe. Oh, and we decide to cut Chibiusa a break since she did maybe see her mom die. Stick around as we discuss episodes 80-84.WebsiteInstagramTwitterYoutubeTik Tok

    What to Do If Your Friend is in a Toxic Relationship; Let Them Eat Cake

    In today's episodes of 76-79, we get hot under the collar as we deal with fat-shaming from both the girls and random background extras. But that's not all, we also have a front row seat to the continued hurtful relationship between Usagi and Mamoru. Girls! What are you doing? Talk to your friend! We cheer at a Minako-focused episode which demonstrates the classic “nurse you back to health” trope and halfheartedly raise a flag for Artemis's centered episode. Sorry Artemis, you're no Rhett Butler.  WebsiteInstagramTwitterYoutubeTik Tok

    In episodes 72-75, love is in the air. Love for Usagi, that is. Our klutzy crybaby has grown up and become the Sailor Moon we all knew she could be. But Chibiusa seems to think otherwise, as the obvious expert in all things silver crystal (insert sarcasm here, Usagi is clearly more than worthy). But Usagi isn't the only one turning over a new leaf, looks like there are some new Black Moon baddies who have decided to show up, along with a new Sailor Scout. Join us as we discuss Silver Crystal theories, gush over Usagi's growth, and hold ourselves back from interrogating Chibiusa for some straight answers ourselves!WebsiteInstagramTwitterYoutubeTik Tok

    Solid relationship advice can be hard to come by but sometimes even evil villains can give...almost sound advice. But romantic love isn't the only (chess) game the girls need to navigate. The competition for affection can be hard won, especially when it comes to your own sisters. Don't worry listeners, we haven't gotten off the Mamo-rage train yet, but we do make a quick detour.

    Few things can blow Drucilla's mind, but Gilcy does just that as we take a deep dive into the sinking Mamoru x Usagi ship. Bring out the life jackets because we're also poking holes in both the parenting style of Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion and Chibiusa's personality. Covering episodes 64-67, no one is safe in the hot seat (not even Aang and Katara.)  WebsiteInstagramTwitterYoutubeTik Tok

    Usagi and the gang are back and so are we! Wish we could say the same about a certain Tuxedo Kamen (do we really, though?) but a white knight seems ready to claim that title for himself. Even the title for the most attractive students in school is up for grabs when two new (and hot) transfer students show up. They couldn't possibly be energy stealing aliens in disguise, could they? And while we're on the appreciation train, we couldn't help but give a little more love to a special father figure. Join us for episodes 47-50!WebsiteInstagramTwitterYoutubeTik Tok: @MoonMomentPod
