For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, the people demanded more Sailor Moon, and so, we’re continuing on, with episodes 7 through 12 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 downfall of Jadeite and the beginning of the Nephrite arc. After that is French slapstick fairy-tale cartoon The King and the Mockingbird (1952/1980), concerning a bird that uses all of his wits to end the reign of terror of a tyrannical king. It originally released in incomplete form in 1952, and, in that form, was a major influence on the work of Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. Director Paul Grimault eventually completed it, and the whole film was released in 1980; this is by far his best-known work, and his only feature. It is often considered the best animated French film of all time, so let’s give it a whirl.

We’ll start at 9PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies

It's the English dub too where the 18 year old high school student sounds like a dude from New Jersey along with his classmates from Tokyo.

z'gok

We're so back

Possibly the most satisfying punch in the series! What did you think of this week's chapter?

No break next week

Or the people who say that are obsessed with subtlety and want everything to conform to the Western standards for art due to cultural hegemony brainworms? Sometimes I feel very guilty for engaging with this sort of media instead of something more "serious"

Show is very fun, with just wholesome torture and reactions. Yes, the entire show is just the same bit, but it's a fun bit and entertaining.

honestly didn't even occur to me
