This volume finished up the third arc of the series nicely. It was definitely my favorite arc so far - it was action packed and revealed new characters and lore while offering up difficult moral conflicts. I'm interested to see where the new arc goes, as it was introduced in the last chapter of this volume. 4.5 stars.

The last part of the Death Busters saga and it ends with a bang. It was really a great ending to a pretty OK saga, though I wasn’t a fan that Chibi Usa got her Super powers so quickly. It felt cheap to Sailor Moon who had to work hard to get there and then her daughter just gets it quickly afterwards. I had a laugh that Chibi-Usa got better, changed in to sailor mode and just walked out the front door at Mamo’s place. It just looked ridiculous. I loved seeing Saturn awaken and make her grim decisions (I so love a girl who can wield a scythe). I did cry a few times because it does get a bit emotional at times. You know these girls will be all right but if you see them make the decision to go in the dark abyss… still a sad feeling. Plus, our three outer senshi (and Hotaru) disappear (in three separate helicopters which had me in stitches).
And the next part is right around the corner. Good lord, I miss the fillers of the anime because this is just ridiculous. These girls barely get any time between battles and enemies before the next one appears. This time it is the Dead Moon Circus and it brings with it amazing and spectacular things, but also a sick Mamo-chan, an unicorn, and a switcheroo at the end which just had me pissed off. Yes, Usagi is childish, hello she is 15 years old and she has had to grow up very fast. Chibi-usa being more adult is not weird given that the girl is 900 years old. Come on. Give Usagi some credit.

I think the Infinity arc is my favorite of these series. I love the Outer Senshi.

Wowza!

The things I loved most about this volume:
- Sailor Saturn's power
- the defeat of the "Death Busters"
- the appearance of the "Dead Moon Circus"
- the fun cliffhanger! :D

I want to continue with the series ASAP, but I don't have the last four volumes..I hope that I can get them soon because this series is so addicting!

I especially am fond of this enemy so I really, really want to continue with the next volume as soon as possible.
