And I find it alarming that a full third of this episode is devoted just to gooshy romance stuff where nothing actually happens. This episode’s biggest failure is that it assumes the audience is emotionally invested in the Chibiusa/Pegasus romance.I don’t really blame Itoh for this episode’s failures – it’s a writing failure, not an art one. The animation quality is still wonderful (as they both got an “important” episode budget as opposed to a “filler” episode budget) but I feel much less enthusiastic about it. This episode, unfortunately, is a far cry from episode 152.We’re getting close to the end! Itoh directed only one more episode after this one, but before I get to it I’ll be posting some quick analyses of the opening and ending sequences she’s directed.And poor old Jet has got a tear in her eye, Saying, “I am going to kill this horse guy. My, my, who’s this Pegasus guy? Tells a kid to keep his secrets but he never says why.I am not a fan of the Chibiusa/Pegasus pairing. I’m gonna be rather opinionated today.Episode 159: Chibiusa’s Little Rhapsody of Love
