5.0 out of 5 stars Chibi-Usa finnaly meets her "special friend", Hotaru!, September 24, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Sailor Moon S - The Search for the Savior (Vol. 8, Uncut Version) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Search for the Savior is a great video for any moonie. In the first episode, we meet Mimete, the next member of Witches 5 (now 4) to serch for pure hearts. But now that the Holy Grail (Purity Chalice) has appeared and is in the hands of Sailor Moon, Tomoe and the "gang" have a new mission; to find pure hearts and "feed" their energy to the Messiah (Soveren) of Silence. Plus, we learn more about the power of the grail and what Rei's (Raye's) vision is about. Then, Chibi-Usa (Rini) finnaly meets her special friend, Hotaru, but she is not like any other normal girl. Plus, the "heart snatchers" are even weirder then before as now they suck the crystal's out of the target's body and swallow it! REALLY!!! EEEOOOWWW!

But anyhoo, in the next episode, we learn more about Hotaru as we find out she's Dr. Tomoe's daughter and that she is somewhat of a link to the Messiah of Silence, but is she the one? Plus, Kaiorinite comes back (from the dead?)! But she doesn't seem to be the same Kaiorinite. -_- weird, I know. We also find out that Sailor Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are the Outer Sailor Soldiers.

In the last episode, Mimete and Minako (Mina) audition to be co-stars in a hot movie with a hot star. But when both loose, Mimete (know as "Mimi" in this episode) steals the star's pure heart and uses her new "Charm Buster" (First Eugeal with the "Fire Buster", now Mimete with the "Charm Buster", but hey, they are "Death Busters", right? @_@ confuusing!).

This vidoe's great! Hotaru fans must get this, along with all you other moonies out there! 5 stars for sure!!! ^_-

4.0 out of 5 stars The second half of S begins, January 5, 2005

By 

ttmoore3 (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sailor Moon S - The Search for the Savior (Vol. 8, Edited Version) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is the edited version of S's eighth volume. These episodes also begin what is, essentially, the second part of the 'S' season.

Episode 105: Show Stoppers - 1st Appearance of Hotaru. Now that the Purity Chalice has been revealed, the scouts wonder what will come next. Dr. Tomoe receives a new mission from the sovereign of silence, who wants pure hearts for their energy. Tomoe gives this assignment to Mimet, who spends much of her time dreaming of male celebrities. Meanwhile, a movie is being filmed in the park and the scouts decide to check it out. Out at the park, Rini meets a pale young girl named Hotaru. The scouts leap into action as Mimet targets a movie actor for a pure heart.

Episode 106: Rini's Risky Friendship - Rini is excited about her new friend and is eager to make a good impression. Thinking her new friend is a boy, Serena tags along to check it out. Serena is in for quite a shock when the woman who answers Hotaru's door is Kaori Night! Meanwhile, Darien confronts Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto about their assignment. They reveal themselves as the Outter solar system scouts.

Episode 107: Mimet's Mess - A dashing younger rock star is making a movie and holds a contest to determine his female co-star. Mina and Mimet both enter. For awhile, Mimet thinks about quitting her evil academy and living a life of fame, but when things go downhill, she turns back to her evil ways.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Sailor Moon S - The Search for the Savior (Vol. 8, Uncut Version) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I loved this VHS. You get to see the one and only sailor moon grand transformation! Also, when she does her attack from that transformation, the tune is awesome! I recommend to any loving transformation Sailor Moon freak.
