This fits with the date seen in Part 1 where Chibiusa circles April 1st as her date to return to the 30th century. I will assume this isn’t the actual date of the eclipse but rather the date on which the article was published. While Setsuna is browsing an article about the eclipse we see a date! or March 28th 2016.

I also understand that there being some confusion over Haruka’s gender makes sense and is a common theme in the series but are we really going to just pretend that Haruka is not very clearly dressed unambiguously as a woman in this scene? I’m not sure what this was all about. Now I know Japanese doesn’t tend to use gender specific pronouns so this is likely not a terribly literal translation. If I can take issue with the dub for a moment! There’s a character which, referencing Haruka, says that “He’s such a hottie”. We finally see what they’ve been up to, starting with Haruka and Michiru.

Last time we saw Hotaru she was a baby being whisked away by Sailor Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

For the most part, like all of Sailor Moon Crystal, this movie is fairly faithful to the manga source material which it was based on. The conclusion to the whole Minako and Human Artemis thing was moved into Part 1 instead of taking place after we get a look at what’s going on with Hotaru and her three moms, which is really where this movie starts off. If it followed the manga more closely it would have ended on a literal cliffhanger as Minako was hanging off of a cliff but stories were moved around to make things fit into movies a bit better.

I always used to put episode reviews for Sailor Moon Crystal up within a few days of their release but the nature of these movies means that reviewing them is a bit more work! I call this a review even though it’s really more of a vague recap with random commentary and a sprinkling of what might be considered a review. You can also read my Part 1 review which was posted last month. Sailor Moon Eternal Parts 1 and 2 are both currently streaming on Netflix.
