I think the two things I like less about Crystal compared to the original anime are the worse fight sequences.

I also hope they do not reuse footage continuously, I didn't think we were gonna see the SM tranformation and "I will punish you" sequence again already.

I just hope we get abridged versions soon.

Does anyone know where I can find an English subtitled version of this video featuring Usagi, Mamoru, and Luna's VA's in the original series? Or if anyone who understands Spanish can translate it.

Haha, Keiko Han once said that Kotono Mituishi's personality is just like Usagi's.

Although I don't dislike the new Mamoru voice actor I still Furuya was involved with this anime. Maybe Toei can have him as a cameo for
King Endymion if the series covers the second arc
?

It's pretty accurate to the manga (which I like) so far. However it seems like a rather bland production; the score, voice acting, and editing didn't really stand out in a good way. The animation was really good at first but it felt like there was a drop-off in that by the second episode. However the editing and voice acting did seem to improve in the second episode.

So I'd say it's worth a look into. Also, how familiar are you with Sailor Moon? Because if you have seen the original anime, I gotta warn you, the manga is a LOT different to the anime. That doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing, but you should be warned that the story and characterizations may be different to what you are used to.

Might be the nostagia in me speaking, but I don't like any of the voices. Mars' new voice actress sound too old. The voice actress from the DIC dub was flawless.

I also miss Mercury's old voice actress from the DIC Sailor Moon R seasons, not the later ones.

Just found this video on Youtube, and while the dub was terrible with the scripts and cutting scenes completely out of the episodes, you gotta hand it to them for the cool background transformation music.

Edit: Sailor Moon's transformation using DiC' background music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtAc9woPVR8&list=UU_oAMGVgTAYtGevVn0CNUyQ
the superior sailor moon version (for the first two seasons anyhow) <3

I've watched the first season of the original anime as well as most of the second season.


....and her transformation is in CG.....why

First season changes are going to be more apparent starting with tomorrow's episode before completely changing with the 5th. Second season is very different as well.
 
Can't wait to see how people only familiar with the anime take Episode 3. Wish I could stay up for it, but I'd be better off waiting till the morning.

So it seems I am being gifted the Sailor Mars episode of Sailor Moon Crystal on this birthday of mine.

Also, the Demon Bus still comes across as an idea from the cheesier side of Sentai/Power Rangers.

Mamoru is a high school student in this one, I guess they couldn't get away with him being a pedophile this time around.
 
Sailor Moon Crystal 03


Heh. Already gotten to know more about the Legendary Silver Crystal in these three episodes than the 24 first of classic. :p

Rei is different. You could say she has a less fire-y personality, and no grandfather in sight.

From what I remember
the manga just primarily focuses on Usagi and Mamoru
