My Thoughts
OK so as everyone knows this is not one of my favorite musical. I love it but it had it's good and it's bad. the timing in this one could definitely use some work. some parts seemed a bit rushed and went by far to fast others seemed to drag on an on and lost my attention pretty quickly. some of the scenes caught my attention and kept it and I did have my moments where I laughed myself silly. This is not really one for new Myu watchers to start out on. than again this was the Myu that started it all so they were still working out kinks and all of that. the music in this one was great I love all of these songs the main one's that seem to always catch my attention when I watch this one are the full version of La soldier, Mystery sagashi, Saikyou no Couple Gundan, Onna no ko no Shinsou. I had my moments where I laughed and I had my moments where I cryed. during Saikyou no Couple Gundan I laughed my butt off just watching Usagi try and join in the danceing with the others even though she had no one to dance with was great. Not just that but after the senshi ditch Usagi to go hang out with the boys the Mamoru Usagi moment was touching.
What I liked:
Luna and Artemis were a great addition to the cast for this musical.
the senshi cast was great.
full version of la soldier was a plus
the curtain call they kept it pretty entertaining I love that they seemed to want to keep the audiences attention to the very end.
the music by far.
the fact that they had a few moments centered around Luna and Artemis and what they were up to.
Haruna-sensei it isn't often they give us civilian characters in the musicals so I loved seeing her in this one.
the youma yet again you don't see it often so when you do it's a nice change.
What I didn't like:
some of the costume choices were not the greatest. Usagi's out fit and Makos hat were some examples the biggest costume choice I disliked was queen beryls dress she looked like a giant christmas tree.
Anza's wig it gets better as it goes but this was by far the worst wig they have had any of the moons wear.
the purple on Venus's fuku it is navy blue not purple.
Mercury and Jupiter's black boots. they were difficult to see and they shouldn't have been black to begin with.
the cutie moon rod was by far way to big and should have been a bit smaller than it actually was.
overall it was a great musical and it was an awesome start to the Myu's but it's also one of the slowest myu's and can lose attention pretty fast in some parts.
