Today is all about endings that aren’t really endings. When I set out to do Sailor Moon Hell I knew I had a limited amount of footage to use, so the series would have to end some time. I thought the classier thing to do would be to finish on top, go only to the six episode that were needed for the Star Wars parody titles and stop.
Well, obviously that didn’t pan out.

Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
I knew what I wanted to do for awhile when it came to Episode VI: Return of the Jedhigh and I knew which episode footage I wanted to use. After Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon had ended they wrapped up the series with a straight-to-dvd movie epilogue where Usagi and Mamoru get married. I knew I wanted to use this footage for the finale, so everything I did up until this point had to be set up to use this footage. Usagi and Mamoru had to be back together, Rei had to be in the hospital, etc.

Usagi constantly forgets the "purge" part of binging and purging.
This episode took a long time for me to complete and was way bigger than I was used to working with. Even the longest episodes of Hell prior to this were still around the 20 minute range. I had to take an hour long movie and cut it down to about 35 minutes to make it work.
And that’s the thing about planning in advance, it can sometimes be your own undoing. As I sat down to start work on Sailor Moon Hell Episode VI: Return of the Jedhigh I started to noticed something about the Special Act; it was almost completely filler.
Not that there weren’t things happening in the plot or anything, but a great deal of the scenes were action based as the whole thing was really just a big fanservice for the series. The actual series itself didn’t have a big climactic battle, so I think the people behind the Special Act were trying to make up for it.

Surprisingly not an exhibitionist
It’s really hard being funny when long stretches of scenes happen and absolutely no dialogue is spoken! I tried my best to slice and dice all of the action scenes to make things move along to the next joke quickly, but there’s only so much one person can cut before the entire episode makes no sense. I added jokes where I could, like giving Makoto and Luna a little Final Fantasy parody. There’s some good stuff in this episode, but it’s not my favorite. I just got held back by the source material really.

Not that there aren’t some great jokes in there! I definitely think the bookeneds of the episode are the strongest. The opening was a lot of fun and all the wedding and aftermath was filled with hilarious moments as well.
I pulled out all of the stops wherever I could, including with the commercials. The “This Week on Power Rangers” was probably the funniest of all of them, mostly because I created it completely from scratch. The part where Kimberly kills a fucking putty with her fucking vagina is still hilarious to me because it’s SO TRUE.

As far as the story is concerned, by this point I had given each of the characters their own distinct personality, had built up this mythology of Usagi being a power crazed lunatic (no pun intended) and this episode was a way for me to tie up that story.
At least in a temporary sense.
The wedding of Usagi and Mamoru and the tragedy of their honeymoon was supposed to be a sort of lead in to another Hell project I had been planning on doing called Kill Beryl. However, uh, that’s a story better left for another time.
This really was the end of the Hell series in a way because this episode didn’t spend too much time on Youtube. After only a few days the episode was flagged for being inappropriate and the rest of Hell came tumbling after. That took a really hard hit on me, because I had spent more time and elbow grease on Episode VI than the rest of the series combined and then it was unceremoniously yanked off before anyone could enjoy it.
However, I guess we all know the story does have a happy ending. In fact, getting taken down off of Youtube was probably a big motivation to getting me back on my feet. That’s because the fans had a shit fit!
You guys are the REAL reason this website exists. Had I not been prodded and poked and asked a thousand different ways over the past few years to get these episodes back out there, I don’t think I’d have continued on. The fact that some people actually LIKE this stupid little thing I do is kind of cool.
And whatever haters out there flagged me for being inappropriate, you sirs can all choke on dicks.
Like always, if you need to see this episode again, visit the Videos page! Be back here this week for more junk! What’s on the agenda? How about some Sailor Moon Teufel episodes to download and maybe even an EXCLUSIVE sneak peek at the next episode of Sailor Moon Hell & Friends
