Two iconic magical girl franchises are back in the zeitgeist, as Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: The Super Live continues its US tour and the fourth Madoka movie, Walpurgisnacht Rising, inches closer to its release…sometime in 2025! Huy details Sailor Moon’s lasting influence, its iconic theme song, and the bizarre character renamings in the English dub. Mucci vouches for the short and sweet Puella Magi Madoka Magica, a 12-episode series that covers a lot of ground in a short time and gets darker than anyone could expect from such a show. Will Lando be swayed more by their arguments or their jokes during the Recess segment this week?
