she falls ill and almost gets hit by a car. Kakeru, a brilliant young
scientist, saves her from certain death and nurses her back to health. Luna

The problem is, Kakeru seems to be the target of Snow Queen Kaguya, an icy new
nemesis from deep space.

doom. But what does the enemy want from Kakeru? And what about Himeko,
Kakeru's long-time sweetheart? Can a cat and a human fall in love?
Review: Sailor Moon S Movie Hearts in Ice
Sailor moon S the Movie is not really about Sailor moon or any of the sailor
soldiers. As the synopsis suggests, the story is focused on Luna and her first
love. All the sailor soldiers except for Sailor saturn and the Star lights are
in this movie, and you get to see each one kick the enemies' butts in their
own cool ways.
The Luna and Kakeru plotline is a pretty unique twist. It's just too bad they
always have to have a villain who wants to take over the world, something
which is really tired and over-used. I felt that they could have pushed this
movie further if they had deviated from the day-to-day fight with evil
routine. We get enough of that from the TV series, and I do mean all 200
episodes.
There are some romantic scenes for Usagi-Mamoru fans, great fighting action,
as well as some backgrounders on the sailor soldiers in the form of a nice,
lengthy intro sequence. We get a good look at what the girls are like when
they're just hanging out and having fun.
The art and animation are superbly done, as is always the case with Sailor moon
movies. Despite its predictability, the Sailor moon S Movie is definitely a
treat for Sailor moon fans, but non-fans won't have a difficult time following
it either. Here's your chance to see nine sailors working together in one
movie.

Luna could've been given a nicer dress and hairdo during her brief stint as a
human (See also: "Sailor Moon SuperS the Movie: Black Dream Hole Anime Review").
