Hope Springs Eternal, but Hopefully With a Better Animation Budget. Allen's pick of the week is Sailor Moon Eternal: The Movie -- technically two movie that I assume belong together -- which he was pretty happy about. It shares the same aspect as the latest incarnation of the Sailor Moon series; Crystal, which was a more close rendition to the original manga that garnered some infamy for having really, really awful animation. I can only assume that the following seasons and these movies rectified this. And with that, I bid you another good week. Next week, we'll join someone in their search for some nice digs. See you all then. -Stig Høgset.
