AniWorthSailor Moon SuperS the Movie: Black Dream Hole
Introduction
Everywhere around the world, the children sleep. Unaware of danger lurking in the shadows. But tonight, a strange darkness floats in the wind. And the children, one by one, begin to disappear. It seems to be a supernatural force that feeds on their dreams. The evil queen, Badiyanu, and her loyal fairies assist in using the "Black Dream Hole" to swallow the earth. It is up to Sailor Moon and the Sailor Soldiers to prevent the approaching Darkness.

The Sailor Moon SuperS Movie had a very high standard to live up to: the R and S Movies were both excellent in their own rights and had an astonishingly amount of enjoyable plot, emotional stakes, and a generally high animation quality, with the movies themselves looking even prettier than the main series the majority of the time (which is again, an achievement in itself given how massively appealing the series visually is). Unfortunately, if that didn't give it away, Sailor Moon SuperS fails to set a new standard for the movies to follow, and I'm afraid it doesn't even achieve the previous standard. The movie in my opinion is not that enjoyable at all; there are some elements to like, such as Queen Badiane's design (which oddly is reminiscent of the main villain in Stars), the fairies are…

Even though this movie wasn't terrible, I find it to be an unnecessary inclusion to the Sailor Moon franchise. Looking at the release date, it's almost as if the employees at Toei Animation were like: "Oh shoot! We almost forgot to make a movie for this season! Uh... let's make it dream themed just like the regular show! We got to get it done before Christmas Eve!"
Putting my wacky theory on the movie's making aside, I do have to first address the obvious issue. Sailor Moon: Dream Adventure and its movie clearly focused way too much on Chibiusa. I don't hate this character. She was introduced in the Black Moon Arc, so it made sense for her to get attention and her friendship with Hotaru during the Infinity Arc was so wholesome. Don't you think that's enough spotlight time for her? I get t…

The best of the Sailor Moon movies to me, but also the one that feels the most reliant on having actually watched the series up to this point, since a lot of the things I found especially striking more stemmed from the nuances in the character writing here rather than the plot in itself. A ton of little themes continued on from the associated season, especially in regards to what it truly means to "grow up", all tied together with this clash between one's dreams for what an ideal existence is and the reality of those compromises that come with life. That dream sequence near the end was especially great because of that, combined with the overwhelming fairy tale imagery creating this utterly cloying atmosphere that perfectly played off the antagonists. The space lesbians also make a return h…

This has to be my least favorite Sailor Moon movie out of the 3 that were dubbed. There were too many inaccurate things going on that I just couldn't just let it brush past me easily.
Story: 7 It could have been creative and hilarious with its villains, instead it was just overall very poorly explained. I liked the fact that they kept the dream theme connection to the SuperS season, but it just makes the movie in general more confusing in a number of matters. One being Pluto's unexplained appearance.
Art: 10 The art was very colorful, and rich. It's very obvious the movie was mostly centered on Mini Moon or Chibi Moon with the young kids singing the theme, along with the candy and fairy looking villains.
Sound 6: I overall always love the music of Sailor Moon, but the music in this movi…

Let me first admit that Chibi-Usa is my most disliked-character, so if you feel this review isn't exactly unbiased, I'm not going to argue. >X3
After BSSM S, which highlights Chibi-Usa's friendship with Tomoe Hotaru, there came BSSM SuperS which also focused on Chibi-Usa... in almost every episode. Thinking one couldn't possibly tire of this pink-haired loud-mouthed girl, here is an enitre movie dedicated to her.
The story is weak compared to its two predecessors. The idea of fairies that kidnap children seems pretty contrived... in regards to forcing a plot that will center around Chibi-Usa. It introduces characters such as Peruru and Badiyanu who are hollow in character and mere plot-triggers.
The art quality is superb. As the third movie with a large budget, animators can afford to…
