For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, we're continuing on from last week, with episodes 7 through 12 of the definitive magical-girl anime, Sailor Moon (1992)! This is the completely unabridged, unexpurgated, uncensored, Japanese version of the show, including everything that the English dub butchered, altered, and/or cut, which is quite a bit. Tonight’s episodes see the introductions of Sailors Mercury and Mars. After that is British animated nuclear-war drama When the Wind Blows (1986), concerning an elderly couple who finds themselves in the center of shit going down when a nuke drops on their quiet English town. Pretty much Threads (1983), but as a cartoon. This film reunited most of the creative staff from the Christmas special The Snowman (1982), including director Jimmy T. Murakami; this is his magnum opus. Oh, and the soundtrack is by David Bowie and Roger Waters. Great reviews for this one, so let’s check it out.

We’ll start at 9PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies

Forthcoming. I have the files, but the most convenient way to upload them is to replace one of the earlier videos while a later video is playing.
