Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S: Kotaete Moon Call!

Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S: Kotaete Moon Call! is...pretty strange, honestly. Set in a weird state where things appear simultaneously canon but also not quite set in the mainstream of Sailor Moon S, add in a very unique and odd premise, and you have yourself this special. This appears to actually be a special episode to promote a toy game called the Terebikko and not a regular episode. I think personally that the idea of the Terebikko is good; it's a really cute and fun idea to have interactive trivia about various things from across the series asked by various audience members, along with a uniquepremise that fits both Haruka and Michiru (although oddly, Hotaru and Setsuna are not present), and it seems like a lot of fun for kids to play along with and watch. Unfortunately, it's limited to its audience because it is incredibly formulaic, even by Sailor Moon standards. Anything not directly related to the Terebikko is dragged out for quite a while, and even things that *are* directly related to it can drag on, mostly because it's incredibly hard to keep a consistent pacing of an actual story in a game while retaining the structure laid out for this premise to work. That said, the premise is still really unique and interesting, and despite it being an apparent lost media that is rather low quality and only available apparently through an obscure Youtube video, it's still worth watching, as it still has the same blend of humor and silliness that makes the series proper shine, if you can handle its drawbacks.
