Summary: A Wonderful movie to the R Season
Review: Yet another great addition of Naoko Tachuchi's Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon. This story takes place after the second season of Sailor Moon, or more commenly known as Sailor Moon R.

Usagi, Chibiusa, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, and Marmoru are all taking a day off of fighting the forces of evil, and decieded to travel to a green house. Then a mysterious man appears calling Marmouru his best friend. But how can he be Marmouru's friend, if he dosen't know the idenity of this stranger?

The following day, when the girls are heading home from a day at school, Rei senses a great evil, and soon the girls are hot on the trail of a sinister plot. When they find an entire street full of unconcious people, it is then when the senshi realize that they are needed to save the world once again. The demon who was responsible approced the Sailor Senshi, but as always, the demon was killed. But then the same mysterious stranger that called Marmouru his best friend, appeared, revealing his true nature. His name is Fiore, and his has an unknown orgin from the great abyys of space.

When Fiore was young, he drifted aimlessly around space untill he landed on Earth. Upon landing his meet a young Marmoru. In the lonelyness and pain that Marmoru suffered from his being orphaned, Fiore suffered for not knowing just who is ture orgin was. Soon the two became inseprable friends, always joined at the hip. Yet all this joy would soon have to end. Because of Fiore's unknown and alien heritage, he had to leave his best friend behind, or else he would die. Just prior to leaving, Marmoru gave Fiore the only gift he received, a red rose. After saying his good byes to his best friend, Fiore vowed that they would meet again, and that Fiore would find the perfect flower to give to Mamoru upon his return.

For many, many years, Fiore searched the heavens for the perfect gift to bring back to his best friend. Then he found it in the form of a small pink flower, with the small torso of a demonic woman growing out of the center of the petals. This flower is called the Kissinian bloosom, was actualy the last element that Fiore needed to turn his pure heart into a heart of dispair and hate.

The Kissinian Bloosom was really a demon in an innocent form, who's only goal was the gather the engergy from every star and planet in every known universe. Alone, Kissinian is just anthoter ordinary flower, but once she has a pawn to do her bidding, she spreds her pods on unsuspecting planets. Soon the pods bloosom, and drain the energy from the planet, and the pawn is killed. She has been doing that very same process for millions of years. And the process would start all over again with her newest pawn, Fiore. By using Fiore's loyalty towards his friend Marmoru, she minipulates Fiore into thinking that Marmoru has been living a life of Hell on Earth. Out of his friendship for Marmoru, Fiore returns to Earth, in hopes of being reunited with the friend that he had once known, and to take is revenge upon the Earth by planting Kissinian's energy sucking pods on Earth, and turning the beautiful planet into a world of emptyness.

Soon, the Sailor Senshi embarke on the perilous task of entering space, and putting a stop to Kissinian's bitter plan. And to rescue Marmoru from the cluthes of Fiore. But has Fiore really lost all of his former purity? Can he be saved? Or will the Earth and the senshi fall into the hands of despair.

The dubb has a number of problems, and that is what keeps this DVD from getting five stars. But you can choose to watch the original, and get the qaulity of five shiny stars. In the dubb, why do most of the senshi have voices that sound like thirty year old women? Also, why dose Luna sound like a freaking old englsih granny? What the heck is a moon mama? Why is the theme song so freaking annoying, all it dose is says 'she is the one named Sailor Moon' over and over and over. It just gets annoying after a while. The wonderful Japanese song called Moonlight Revenge is replaced with Power of Love. But the song Power of Love was already entered in the next to the last episode of the R season. Like I said, the dub has problems, but you can always overlook that, and enjoy the splendor the the Japanese original

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Circle of Giving
Review: With great trepidation, your loyal reviewer has dared to make is way into one of the most sacred icons of Japanese popular culture. Beautiful Young Girl Warrior Sailor Moon (Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon), with over 200 episodes to its credit in addition to this film almost single handedly created the 'magical girl' genre. 'Sailor Moon' has had so much influence that one has to delve into it, even if its lighthearted (and slightly empty-headed) thematic structure is not quite ones cup of tea. This film, with the help of a bit of research, is a perfect introduction. In a short hour, the viewer gains a very good idea of the series' values.

Without getting too bogged down in mythic references, suffice it to say that young, slightly klutzy, Usaki Tsukino (Serena) discovers that she is a reincarnation of the Moon Princess. She can transform, has a set of formidable magical powers, but regardless of the gestures, incantations and fancy costumes, still remains the same affectionate, caring woman she is in real life. Here friends (Sailors Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury) as well as Tuxedo Mask (Mamoro), her romantic interest, are all cut from the same mold.

Set against the in this film is Fiore, who, as a young alien boy, had become close friends with Mamoro. Fiore had to leave earth, but promised to return with a gift as precious as the single red rose Mamoro gave him as a parting present. Unfortunately, Fiore's quest becomes distorted when he falls under the power of the Kesenian Flower, which poisons his love for Mamoro in its own schemes to destroy the earth. The ensuing struggles are full of the contrasts between the tender affections all feel and the bitter vengefulness that the Kesenian engenders.

To get a picture of how good this film manages to be, on has to keep in mint that a story this full of sentiment an magical poses could easily have been a cloying, silly extravaganza - killing the viewers sympathies with an excess of sweetness. Instead, by keeping the humanity of the characters as a subtext, and emphasizing the familial friendship they feel for each other, the film transcends both cloying romanticism and excess moralizing. Graphics and animation are a bit oversimplified - but the results are enjoyable. If I have a criticism it is the amount of time spend transforming and readying the special attacks. With all that posing and telegraphing of moves, it is a wonder they do not miss more often than they do. All of this can be forgiven though in the enjoyment of a truly warm and upbeat film.
