Vampire Week finishes with a Sailor Moon stage musical about vampires. It’s real, its official and it’s two hours long.
Yes, this was Jon’s pick.
This week on Toonami Absolution, Alyx, Jon, and Sam cover Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon – New/Transformation – The Path to Become the Super Warrior – Overture of Last Dracul (2000). It’s the 17th Sailor Moon stage musical overall, Miyuki Kanbe’s debut as Sailor Moon, and the first show of the Dracul arc. A Sailor Moon story arc with original characters and a whole new story: one featuring vampires.
Usagi has a nightmare that tells her that each time she transforms, a calamity will follow. On a date with Mamoru the next morning, the dream seems to be coming true.
Death Lamia and Undead Berserk want to create a Homunculus, a piece of artificial life made from the Senshi’s Star Seeds, and they strike a deal with the vampire Count Dracul to help them. Dracul bites Michiru and Mamoru, turning them evil, forcing Usagi to fight her friends and get to the bottom of the weird situation she’s found herself.
We discuss how stage Sailor Moon differs from the anime, the odd history of the Dracul arc, and if Sailor Moon really needed biblical references.
