Day Twelve- What is your least favorite storyline? Why?

I had to think about this one a lot, especially since I don’t want my answer to overlap with other days.
So I’m going with…

What? What? I know.
I love Mugen Gakuen. It has such a great cast, and great music, and some moments that are among my favorites. But all of that makes the storyline more disappointing for me.
S/Infinity is one of the most dramatic arcs because of Saturn, but this musical feels painfully undramatic every time I watch, mostly because of the ending. The culminating moment, when Saturn awakens and everyone dies, is too quick. There’s no real fight against either. No one even tries to stop her from swinging the glaive. Afterwards, it’s just like, “Oh don’t worry, Usagi, you can just undo all of this with minimal effort.” And she does, and she even brings back the bad guys (minus of course Mistress Nine), which they have to fight again. It always leaves me feeling like, why was the destruction of the world necessary? It casts a shadow over all of the story that comes before it for me, because it builds up to nothing.
Then there’s also the Hoshino family, who I feel detracted from the story even more. Their story is a sluggish rehash of elements the musicals  used before (group after the silver crystal who aren’t actually villains, kids that die, etc.). They also supersede existing characters’ importance, like when it’s Alba’s death that triggers Saturn to awaken, or when Shintaro calls out to Sailor Moon when everyone’s dead, instead of any of the senshi.
I find it frustrating, because there’s so many great things in this musical that I want to love the storyline. And I can’t just never (or rarely) rewatch it because I mean

If there’s a way to not want to watch this song in full context every so often, I don’t want to know it.

10. What is your favourite sera myu song?

This is a very difficult question, because there are a lot of songs that I absolutely love. Group songs, villain’s songs, civilian songs. But in the end, it is always the big finale songs that get to me, and Minna Dareka ni Aisarete was the very first one that actually made me cry. There are many amazing songs in Sera Myu but the first time I watched them, this was the first one that I was still humming a few days later.

In all honesty I think this song represents everything about Sailor Moon. The title is literally about how everyone is loved. That is the core of Sailor Moon, love. This is one of the song not focusing on the stars, or anything like that. Just love. Plus it has the added bonus of having the same melody as other songs in Kaguya (at least in Fumina’s versions) that a lot of the others don’t. This isn’t even one of the songs where only one version is worth listening to, both Fumina and Marina’s cast do this song so well. The only reason all the gifs are from Fumina’s is because there was too much I wanted to gif. 

So yes, this is my favourite as for me it represents the very core of Sailor Moon.

Day Eleven- What is your least favorite myu song?

Mizusakiannainin no Game. The scene with it was emotionally jarring for me, and I just don’t find it pleasant to listen to at all. Basically for every other myu song, even if I don’t like listening to it, I like what it does in the musical . This one, though… I’m very glad they cut it from the revised edition.
…No audio or screencaps for this one, guys, sorry. I can’t bear this song unless I’m watching the musical all the way through.
