Sailor Moon Crystal - Act 4 - Masquerade Dance Party

 

 The original Anime had this same episode, based on the manga where there is police barricade because of a Princess with her mysterious box the enemy thinks is the Mysterious Silver Crystal. Usagi wants to go and disguises as a princess and dances with Tuxedo Mask. The Princess who looks like Umeko with nerdy glasses gets possessed by Nephrite. Usagi and Tuxedo Mask fall from a balcony and sail down due to a Parasol. Moon, Mars and Mercury exorcise Nephrite's copy from the Princess and we find out that she didn't have the Silver Crystal. In the end, Mamoru kisses Usagi while sleeping and she says it reminds her of something.

So this episode pretty much follows that, except of just seeing Nephrite, the Sailors meet all four Shittenou. I was never fond of Usagi's first kiss as Mamoru kissed her when she was drunk in the original Anime. In the dub, they made it into a dream. In the Live-Action version, Usagi dressed as a bear and hid and there was no kiss. Okay, back to this episode--other changes are Luna telling the three their mission and also a brief thing about each of their personalities. Rei asks when will the Princess be revealed, Luna says when all five Senshi are present and a special block they have on her will be taken off.
 

 I am not writing a simple summary and review this time as I am growing tired of the same thing over and over. We have seen this all before. They say this is closer to the Manga but I have been seeing the old Anime and it is all pretty much the same. Only major difference from this Anime and the original is that Naru is not involved in this version and that Rei and Ami actually go to the dance, but they pretty much serve the same purpose and make no difference to the Usagi and Mamoru plot.
 
What new thing is that Jadeite destroyed her Tiara and she got a new one this time. In the last Anime, it got destroyed and it magically came back the next time with no explanation. Sailor Jupiter premieres in two weeks.

Lavender Ranger's Opinions
$10? and only 1 per person???!!! What the? I was planning to get 2, one for my nephew and one for me (and have it signed by Rhett Fisher and David DeLatour--I may still do that). And two people already asked me to buy one. Some people think this has been done for enough of the hundreds of people to get one for themselves. I think it is also to stop too many eBay scalpers.

New Members for Power Force

UPDATE 9/10/14
 
 
A couple months ago, the members of Power Force were asked to renew their contracts and two declined. I will not say who they were but some people already know and can deduce by checking the official websites. A couple months later we were asked to select three nominees, three fans that had to have certain requirements. The requirements are they must be a highly passionate Power Rangers fan, must have a wealth of knowledge about the Power Rangers franchise and must have a strong online presence through a blog, social media, and/or forums with a dedicated following and or readership. With those requirements (which most fans fit 2 out of 3), not everyone fit all three. So out of the three I picked, one was selected. In all NINE were selected and I do not know why or anything like that. Neither do I know who in the existing group picked nor why. The only one I picked that was selected was Eric Berry who won the WeLoveFine.com contest. I met The2ndBatgirl in passing before and I can't wait to meet Eric Berry at PMC I am planning to go. Congrats to all the new members!
 
Here are the new members, which round out to 25:

July 22, 2016: Power Rangers Reboot Movie date

All other Power Force members got this that the official date for MMPR Reboot is July 22, 2016. This might change but this is what we got. Some people think it is too soon but I think it is a good date. I mean, it's August 2014 right now. Lionsgate and Saban Brands are bringing out news about this date. This will coincide with the summer hiatus of Power Rangers Dino Supercharge. 

The following movies are scheduled to be released July 2016, these may change as well:

  • Independence Day 2
  • Angry Birds
  • Bourne Legacy 2
  • Ice Age 5
  • Doctor Strange
  • Planet of the Apes 3
