Synopsis

Usagi and Chibiusa overhear two girls talking about the Sailor Senshi after they see a poster. Humorously, as the girls discuss which is the smartest, most elegant, strongest, and the leader of the Senshi, Usagi claims those titles for herself. Chibiusa shakes her head at Usagi's delusion. Clips are shown from the debut of each Sailor Senshi, and that girl's image song is played in the background. When even Tuxedo Mask is mentioned, and the girls go to leave without having mentioned Sailor Moon, Usagi butts in on their conversation and asks them directly about Sailor Moon. The girls give a series of glowing compliments about Sailor Moon, but unlike they did for the other Senshi, they also list her faults. After the girls leave, Usagi sarcastically apologises for being a clumsy cry-baby and then bursts into tears. (Source: Wikipedia)

Mixed Feelings

This is basically just 17 minutes long commercial for their first movie called "Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon R: The Movie". If you just want it for your completed list go ahead, otherwise I wouldn't recommend it. The story tells you about the main characters and little bit of their history while Usagi is remembering how she met other Sailor girls for the first time. Including little mocking towards Usagi because of how basic she is. The cliche "friendship is magic" thing. I guess it would be good catch up for those who want to remember how it all started before watching the movies. For example.

Sailor Moon R: Make Up! Sailor Senshi is a prequel to the Sailor Moon R movie, presumably here to get viewers pumped up and remember the Senshi's best moments throughout the series till now. At this, it succeeds greatly: there are a lot of clips showcasing how each of the Sailor Senshi are skilled at what they do and all of their faults and positives. Additionally, the entire scene is in a really good setting: that of some random girls chatting about the Sailor Senshi with Usagi and Chibiusa witnessing, set as a joke where the girls forget to mention Usagi. I think this formulaworks really well: it's cute and shows off the girls' best moments and helps pump up the audience, and it also blends some comedy in with this. My only complaint would be that Chibiusa really has nothing to do here, but the pacing of the jokes is pretty fantastic at setting Usagi up for failure. This was really enjoyable on its own as well, not just as a side piece to the movie. 8/10.
