RMZXAnarchy posted:What I remember happening in that one was she was pinned down by the monster and the brooch, with her tiara already failing and whatnot from the previous episode, just gave out and broke. It seems like it still does work and she just doesn't think/the writers don't think to use it. I don't see why it couldn't just get upgraded as her power grows, or remain in her arsenal as a back-up. Except in Stars, when as well as gaining wings that grow out of her rear end, she loses her tiara entirely and has a golden moon shape right on her forehead like the cats.

The important question here is if anyone has a gif of Bunny using a pizza for a moon tiara attack.

Finally getting to watch the new episode, I love that the Disguise Pen: - is given to Usagi entirely because she's jealous of Ami's cool video game prize and WANTS SOMETHING SHINY NOW! - could just as well have not been there as what really let Usagi break into the school was acting frantic, talking fast, confusing the guards, and just running on in, like a spazzy version of the Doctor (David Tennant joke here).

My favorite thing about this is that the typo'd "INNOLENT" was fixed to "INNOCENT" in the English dub. Another random "Ami's a bit weird" thing is if you check the R movie there's some shots of her visor's UI, and all the text is in German.

aers posted:My favorite thing about this is that the typo'd "INNOLENT" was fixed to "INNOCENT" in the English dub. A further 'Ami's a bit weird' thing is the part in a Stars episode where she hugely impresses the other members of the Juuban High computer club by downloading a document from the Web and sending it to the printer. She says it's information on space engineering from the Harvard University library website, and kindly offers to translate it when the boy it's for says his English isn't very good.  It's the lyrics to 'Highway to the Danger Zone' by Kenny Loggins. Furthermore, in the SuperS episode where everyone's trying to wheedle some info out of Chibiusa about (they think) a boy she's got a crush on, and Chibs says something vague about a horse, Ami and Minako confer over her head, and Minako's like, 'He has a face like a horse? He's ugly?' and Ami's like 'If he's like a horse - no! I can't say something so filthy!' and turns bright red. And Minako's face is blank for a moment and then she looks utterly stunned, like 'Even I wasn't going to go there, Ami.' And she carries one of those little angled dental mirrors for seeing your back teeth in her purse. Ami Mizuno: Quietly, under the radar, a bit weird in a lot of ways.

Holy poo poo I had that CD-ROM! I absolutely loved it, even if I could tell that it was cheap and poorly made as a 10 year old. I particularly loved the "paper doll" part, and it had really ugly outfits to choose from. Too bad I don't have it anymore, I want to dress Usagi in brown-and-mustard polka dot rompers again

Dove from Above posted:A further 'Ami's a bit weird' thing The English I'm willing to think is just Japan being weird. For example, there's a load of Adobe read me text in Gundam Wing and a bible in FMA turned out to be a d&d players handbook. Given the alternative is "Don't worry, everything is gonna happy <3" (Full Metal Panic), I'm good for a few sight gags. Ami having a dirty mind, however, is well documented.

Except it barely ran on my computer, and all the minigames didn't seem to give much in the way of instruction. So I just flipped through the dress up and the character bios section. Pretty sure I used the information from those bios in arguments over Ami's dub last name (before Super aired)

Dove from Above posted:Which is a shame, because I always enjoyed that so much. I liked to imagine him very carefully and seriously practising his rose-throwing, and fantasising that one day he would get to meet Batman and help Batman out of a jam by throwing a rose, and Batman would be like 'These are as good as my batarangs!' And yeah, it's very easy to imagine Tuxedo Mask as having a lot of Batman fantasies. I bet the guy keeps either a homemade Batman or Robin costume next to his tuxedo. Possibly both.

Edvarius posted:I dunno how good his rose accuracy is, but Tuxedo Mask's accuracy with other weapons was crazy good on the few times it was displayed. Like in R how, while just an amnesiac guy out for fun in a laser tag arena, he managed to zap a bunch of holographic monsters in the center of the forehead while running. Or in SuperS when a monster running over his rose offended him so much that he decided to wait until it was about an inch from flattening the victim-of-the-week to stop it, presumably for the purpose of showing off, with an extending cane strike to the center of it's side. I further believe that when he went to study abroad in America in the Stars arc, he deliberately chose Harvard because it was close enough to Gotham City for weekend trips. He just really hopes Batman-senpai notices him.

A few more clips of the new Dub have popped up on Hulu. The first is the same as the one where they advertised Luna's new voice but with the transformations and stuff afterwards as well. The second is from the last Jadeite episode, so its also the first taste of Sailor Mars and Mercury we've seen.

Jupiter's easily my favorite of the team though, she just has more presence than any of the others. Though that might just be from her being taller than the others. But J-List? They're bad for a number of reasons and I'm pretty sure they price-gouge, don't buy from them. e: looking at the price they had for Jupiter ($55 for those curious), that didn't include shipping did it?

Honestly I wouldn't import the figuarts from anywhere, since they come out a month later in the west (Amazon's pre-order is like $40, compared to j-list's $55 on the import), and waiting a month never hurt anyone.
