Not really mind screwy. Plenty of plot twists, yes, but they're largely straightforward.

[Mr. Strange]

But mind screwy is the best screwy!

Oh so the freakishness of the witches' labryinths is explained? I mean c'mon, what's with the dust-ball with the Pringles-stash dancing like a showgirl?
Mind screw confirmed!

oh yeah those are kinda mind screwy we all thought you were talking about the storyline some of the labyrinths can be explained partially by there location but thats really only the background of the labyrinth such as syringes near the hospital and you can go in reverse to the monitors around the old factory tells me they made monitors there

[Bauglir]

Yeah, I wouldn't say there's much in the way of mindfucks. Just a subversion of expectations and, in the third movie, a cloaking of motivations for, uh, things (and a bit of a metaphysical asspull that can be made to make sense, anyway).

I don't understand what you mean. I mean, what's with the Anthonies and other minions is that they're projections of a witch's despair and various psychoses. We don't know much about most witches, but Oktavia's barrier is drenched in symbolism relevant to her grief, and it's a safe bet that the same is true of other witches. Same reason Charlotte's got all kinds of sweets. Beyond that, I'm not sure what you're looking for as far as an explanation.

[Darvi]

Yeah, witches are eldritch horrors that do eldritch things. Or, even more succinct: magic. It makes sense for their surroundings to be weird as fuck.

While it's possible that there is a more elaborate explanation out there, that they don't explain it in the show proper doesn't make it a mind screw.

Please remember what the folks in the RTD board told you, and it's preferable if you use the edit button in the corner of your post instead of double posting, unless you have a reason to bump the thread.

Watched 2nd episode of Sailormoon remake and...

You know... I've always said that an anime isn't automatically inferior to the manga even if it changes things... and wow does it show.

Lets just say Tuxedo Mask has no secret identity because he wears his tuxedo mask outfit all the time! As well this episode felt kind of less poignant then the original.

I am sure it will get better. It is already good, I am just kind of surprised they left in the sides of the manga that the anime already fixed.

----

I will say one thing it does do better is give a reason why the villains are only in Japan. There is a good reason why they don't send monsters to London.

Also the Pens were actual pens? I know they were always called pens... but I always assumed it was because that was their general shape. And do they have limitless ink or do you have to change them once in a while?

Also dang does the Moon Tiara have impact... Villains died rather vaguely in the old anime... but dang don't you feel the Tiara just cutting right through their body.
