So this volume was relatively interesting. We get to meet the outer Guardians and they definitely put a new twist on things. And while the Big Bad is another faceless evil overlord who sends easily defeatable minions out to steal energy from hapless humans, there is still the evil Academy and the Professor and (the future) Sailor Saturn and seeing how all of that ties in. Chibi is a Guardian now, but she still creeps on her dad, so. This volume feels a tad disjointed to me. It could be because I keep expecting things to follow the English dubbed version. Some of the changes so far to this arc are at least simplifying things. I remember there are more enemies and the side plots (including Sailor Uranus and Neptune) took much longer to develop. I am torn between really enjoying the pacing and thinking that the pacing is overly quick by sacrificing character development. Otherwise, a good introduction into a new arc of a series.I don't remember previous volumes including cursing, but this one has a couple of minor ones (as in ones you can hear on daytime TV). It also has a character originally referred to as a guy, who is, not only definitely a girl, but probably dating another girl. She definitely kisses another girl at least once. I was glad to see those scenes because I was disappointed when they changed this in the dubbed version of the anime (instead of being lovers, they were cousins) and they took out as much of the teasing between Haruka and Usagi as possible without making the show look disconnected.
What do You think about Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon 06 (2012)?
I loved the introduction of the Outer Senshi, but otherwise, this volume was rather confusing.
