Sailor Moon Crystal: Episode 4 (Review)

Last time, on the Team AnimeManga blog, the third episode of the Sailor Moon Crystal was reviewed, and now...the fourth episode.


For the first three episodes, we were introduced to much of the main characters, but for this episode, which is based on the fourth chapter of the original manga, we ended up taking a break to go to a fancy ball. I'm not kidding. Act 4: Masquerade Dance Party (aka Episode Four) is one of those moments in the original manga where it slowed the story down a bit, and how Toei Animation adapted this chapter in the reboot is a bit amazing.

For starters, there was little omitted content, but there was a good amount of additions which actually explained some of the story that wasn't well explained in the original chapter. Of course, the ball scenes were, in my opinion, beautifully animated. In the end, the episode ended with a mysterious side note, and a sneak peak for the next episode.
