Can they actually die? I mean, it just turned him back to a normal human. I think that’s pretty lucky for him…it’s the best for hi, even though he doesn’t think it is. He still doesn’t have full memories of his past, does he?
Yes, I was kinda looking for any hints of any relationship developing ...guess not. They look odd here… Appears that Kunzite like his Dark Mercury J Yes, Zoicite and Venus look great together..loved that scene.
–nods- totally agree with you.

hmm... I was watching my PGSM dvd and... Sailor Jupiter has gained some weight In the first 20 episodes her pink belt fit nicely around her waste... now in looks really tight in some of the newer episodes. Is it just me or can people tell... I am not saying she is fat... but maybe they should use a looser belt cause it looks weird...

With Act 43.... I was so disappointed by the fact that it's a .. SHADOW!! You can't see a thing.. and I bet they didnt even kiss when acting How... unromantic..~_~ *sigh* lol… I thought that part looked very dodgy…looked like their faces overlapped. I wonder why they did that? I mean, nature lightning, with the sun setting at the background would look great, at the same time, allowing similar effects with their faces like a silhouette. I think that Beryl is attracted to Queen Metaria’s power, and wants to use it herself. She doesn’t want to server her, though it doesn’t appear that Beryl knows much about it either…funny enough Kunzite does..Queen Metaria must have awoken him in some way. I think both sides do not want Metaria to awaken (to stop it from destroying the earth since Beryl wants to rule it etc.) However, at the same time, Beryl wants Princess dead. SO we have three groups. Senshi, Beryl, Metaria. Senshi Vs Beryl. Metaria interfering. Therefore, not allowing Princess Sailormoon to awaken (or else disastrous) Metaria doing bad (against the senshi) than against Beryl. I’m guessing Beryl would fear it taking control. ok..you’re very observant there Digilee . I don’t quite notice these little details. I was just wondering, for the audition..does anyone know the criteria? DO you think it’s the looks and flexibility ßto do the attack movements of something? Cause..it doesn’t seem chosen on experience on acting. I noticed quick shots from the making of live action and they showed someone cooking….isn’t that a little odd? Like…surely, they didn’t base the actress of Makoto on cooking… can the actor of Zoicite play the piano for real? Looks pretty awesome.

I have no clue... All I know is each girl who tryed out took a 50 question 'test' about the series and manga of Sailor Moon. They had to get at least 42 right to get into the 'next round' of audition. I guess knowing you Sailor Moon history was a big deal for the people, they really wanted the 5 main actress to know their stuff.

Ah I see, that's interesting That makes sense..trying to find also find devoted fans that know their characters so well, to be able to portray them. Also, in the making of live action, they actually have the actress of Usagi to left her leg up to her head when filming her attack. I guess that would also help, making the production easier. Do you think they had the senshi doing the cartwheels? Act 44 I felt it was another great episode because it focussed on Zoicite, Minako going to the Crown, and because of another funny scene between Ami-chan and Nephrite. Ami-chan: If you don’t mind, here. I made it. It’ll make you feel better Motoki: No way. Thank you! Than-- --nks for the food (Ami turns to Nephrite) Ami-chan: Please. (Slowly takes some) Motoki: It’s pretty tasty Nephrite: Tastes bad. Terrible… (Takes more and eats) Nephrite: Awful Motoki: Hey you- Nephrite: What?! (Ami-chan laughs.) Such a sweet little scene. ^_^ It was cool how Zoicite went back to protect Sailormoon, though it was kinda predictable, and there were hints in the previous episode, on what’s going to happen in the next Act. No…..Zoicite…….

I just watched Act 45 and 46.. and I enjoyed it quite lot! The conflicting views of Minako and Rei were pretty interesting.... In my opinion I think that the present is most important.. not saying to ignore the past, but fighting for the ones you love in the present.. wanting to protect Usagi~ not because she’s the Princess, but as a friend… and fighting for your own future (instead of Makoto thinking she must be alone.) I really do hope she ends up with Motoki…He’s such a sweet guy.. The part where Nephrite buys something for Ami was also rather cute ^^ I hope nothing bad happens to him. Why is it that Nephrite had the chance to live as a normal human; whereas Zoicite had to die? Also, what happened to Kunzite, did he die? Princess Sailormoon playing the harp was neat ^^;; Finally some hope; and healing everyone- I thought there was no more hope after all the people falling into comas.. I’m just worried about the next episode… since Digilee said it was a shocking Act ;_;

Same here...though, just wondering- what was that thing Nephrite was gonna get Ami-chan? Look weird...though it looks like he likes it..lolz His expressions are very funny and odd. It's like he's human, but not at the same time. Reactions are very odd *By this episode, has all the senshi fully awaken yet? (is that just power or also meaning they have to regain all memories of their past?) It thought Mars's power awoken (in that episode where she sang), but then Venus said there's still more to be gained. Every time they make a senshi "awaken", they seem very powerful, but then, soon after, it feels like they have gone weaker like before again. *The prelude of Act 47 looks suspicious.... *crosses fingers it doesn't turn out that bad* *Another thing- does Beryl control Mio? –like full control of her human shadow, or does she just let her do whatever….are they the same person? Cause it doesn’t appear that Beryl would do some of the stuff Mio does, since she’s younger etc. Can Beryl actual go anywhere else other than that place where she always stays? (other than appearing of Earth?) Funny she doesn’t have any seat to sit on. *I hate seeing Mio, but I like seeing her more than Beryl. Just more interesting. Did she takes Mars there, cause of boredom? *I thought Jupiter's sacrifice looked so awesome..it reminded me of the anime version when she died in Season 1. I felt that part was so sad... , the music also fitted well with it. I really thought she was gonna...

Thanks for the links Digilee... me downloaded all of them ^_^ I finally watched Act 47.......... About Minako.. it was really sad.. however; I'm just thankful it wasn't anything worse which could have ruined the storyline... Minako dieing is very significant; and it makes it a very emotional Act- so I like the story... Very sad.. but makes live action different. We will always love you Minako!! It was confusing at times, with all the different flashbacks and etc.. it was scary.. and gave a foreshadow of what might happened.. Also.. I'm kinda scared by the fact that it looks like Endymion is taken over by Metaria o.o I wanna watch the next Act!! But it's not out for download yet.... ;_;

At least you are caught up now! And yes, Minako's death brought a whole new light into the live action and act. 48 plays so much on her death... man Rei is so totaly pissed in the next episode. I think the death effects Rei the most, since those two seemed to have such a strong connection. If any of you go to Japan this week check out the CBC building... they have flags and posters of the live action all over making its end. They also have one of Minako in all white with the japanese 'Tonight I sleep... Tomorrow I fly...' I think it means something like... tonight she dies and tomorrow I fly to the heavens...

hehe... we finally caught up with you;.. well close enough lol.. Mars really looked angry- even in Act 46.. I feel sorry for her.. >.< The fact that Mars really wanted her to do the surgery... and it wasn't successful... Minako's speech (well.. letter) was also very emotional.. so depressing. ..

Act 47 I don’t think this act ruined the story… I felt that Act 47 was a significant Act, dedicated to a significant character: Sailor Venus- Aino Minako… emotionally this has affect viewers, and I feel that, this impact enhances Live Action. I’m a bit confused myself on what happened. I don’t think she actually took the surgery…I thought she was just going to an examination…but she couldn’t make it? I’m just glad that Minako is happy the way she is, her spirit at least.…I don’t think that she had any regret that fate acted upon her. I was also wondering, what the motif of the Ferris wheel was trying to say… is it trying to reflect on her care-free nature? Or was it because she enjoyed the time there with Usagi? The constant white colour used and brightness were hints to her going… She smiling all the way….do you think she knew she couldn’t make it, but didn’t wanted everyone to be unhappy? The way she was portrayed makes her feel honourable. What I felt was really tragic was the fact that the other senshi didn’t get a chance to properly spend time with her…. Just when Mars go to know Venus a little more…*sniff* I thought you (Digilee) said that the senshi reunite and Venus joins the gang in Act 40….
