Ace talks about how easily Minako falls in love back then, and there is a background image of Kunzite and Minako

Oh right I remember that! So then maybe that one image did mean something more... Maybe it became canon later on, at least?

...chocolate parfait....

Geeze that episode! I have a soft spot for villans that turn good. Probably the first time I cried from a show as a kid.

Definitely one of my favorite episodes. Can't wait to see the new - hopefully it will be emotional and not derpy!

I wouldn't mind if Crystal added something similar in it. That episode was probably the best contribution the original anime brought.

Probably won't happen though.. they're going pretty panel by panel so far. :<

Except for whatever they are planning with the Four Kings. I wonder how they will play out the part in the manga where
they help out Endymion beyond the grave in their stone forms.

Was JUST thinking this! One second he sounded like Furuya and my heart started beating faster. ; A ;

Luna and Rei looked awful today, but Usagi looked really fabulous.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, but did I ever tell you about Furuya's album that is dedicated to his character? I've mentioned it a few times in the Community threads, but I don't think I told you directly.

01. Nemuttamama dewa (Theme of Mobile Suit Gundam's Amuro Ray)
02. Only One Shining Star (Theme of Saint Seiya's Seiya)
03. Reckless Throw (Theme of Star of the Giants's Hyuma Hoshi)
04. Ookami (Theme of Dragon Ball's Yamcha)
05. Everlasting My Love (Theme of Sailor Moon's Tuxedo Mask)
06. Who is No. 1 (Theme of Kimagure Orange Road's Ky&#333;suke Kasuga)
07. Lalah no Yasoukyoku Nocturne (Theme of Mobile Suit Gundam's Amuro Ray)

Shouldn't be too hard to find Track 05, I think you'd really like it.

Wow, I had no idea about this - thank you so much for telling me! Track #5 sounds amazing, oh my gosh. &#931;(&#12444;&#1076;&#12444;;)

Gonna listen to them all... sometime.

Episode 4

Alright. Alright. I think they have gotten all the stupid out of their systems with Ep 3. Hopefully now that everything's just about in place until Mina pops up we can cruse to December without much in the way of Incident.

Though knowing Toei, that like saying "This'll be the best Christmas Walford has ever had" in the middle of Albert Square.

Or being in the general area of Albert Square.

Interesting, does Nick Cotton become a Shitennou member? ;)

Yeah, you can read the lyrics here. I'm trying to track down translations for the other songs, I've only been able to find a translation for the Yamcha song.

I might be able to help you with that. If they aren't translated online, I could give you an idea of what he's singing - although translating lyrics is so different from regular text!

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
The art was a little better than last week, but WHY do the animators keep drawing Rei so terribly? Mars is supposed to be the most gorgeous of the Sailor Senshi and they keep giving her countless freeze-frame shots of derp face, it's starting to get on my nerves! Especially since they don't seem to do it to Mercury or Usagi, it feels intentional :mad:

The dedication of Usagi vs Rei in Act 4 was just straight out ridiculous.. Rei kept getting hit in the face with derp while Usagi looked stunning. There were a FEW frames of Rei while they were in the Game Center where she looked very nice, but then bam, sudden change back to sloppy cross-eyed art.

Well in PGSM the villains knew the identity of the Senshi, so it isn't like the idea if foreign to the series.

One day I should show you that I can do a pretty good Furuya impression, well of his Seiya and Yamcha anyway. I'm trying to get his Mamoru lines down. "Usako!" "Now, Sailor Moon!'

I'll see if I can send you a recording of it one day.

Speaking of which, I remember him saying that his favorite SM episode was this one, except for the original anime's version obviously.

I know some people were expecting Rei's sidestory "Casablanca Memory" to show up before that, but it looks like they aren't adaptating the short stories. So it is safe to assume Crystal will cover
Dark Kingdom and Black Moon arcs
?
 
Sailor Moon Crystal 04


So
Jadeite isn't dead after all.

And this episode is basically the same as episode 22 of the classic show. Some differences though, like Sailor Moon getting a new tiara and Luna interrupting the kiss. Makoto will join the cast next time then.

I only found out yesterday this was a thing. My only issue would be that there is no way Moonlight Densetsu is the OP for this series as well right?

EDIT: oh shit whaaaaaaa
 

Zoe

I wonder how many people realize Moonlight Densetsu is just a cheesy love song. One person on Reddit was going on about how it was a strong fighting song :lol

Everyone who saw the series in Spanish knows that. The translated lyrics were very good actually. Any male between 23 and 28 should recognize it, if not they're lying. :p

That's an homemade edit of the OP. 'Moon Pride' is the new OP song:

Yep, as expected it doesn't remotely come close to be as memorable. :(

Watched the first 3 episodes. So far it's ok I guess, but it's lacking a lot of the humor from the original. :(
 
My fianceé and me are watching the first series together with Crystal.

Massive fillers (albeit with some good episodes) apart, the first one is way cooler. Most of the changes made in the anime were for good.

So one of the interviews in the mook basically confirmed that they're doing a 1:1 with the manga. The number of episodes has been determined by the number of chapters, so anything they want to add has to be squeezed into the existing scenes.

Page 41 for anyone who wants to check it out.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
One thing that really bothers me about Crystal.

Sailor Moon is the guardian of "Love" and "Justice".
Sailor Mercury is the guardian of "Love" and "Intelligence".
Sailor Mars is the guardian of "Fire" and "Passion".

????

Is this a mistranslation? Did Mercury say something else but it's translated as "Love"? Because it's totally messing up the symmetry.

It's "water" in the manga. I'd have to watch the show again though to see if they really messed up.

Except Jadeite is still alive, that's not exactly a small change unless they turn him into background decoration in the Dark Kingdom scenes. It might still be very similar to the manga but the 1:1 is out of the window.

My knowledge of japanese is very limited but in Crystal Mercury says "Ai to ... something" so love is correct.

I meant 1:1 as in one episode per chapter. They're not able to add more episodes to expand on anything.

In other words, Black Moon is coming.

I see, if they keep the villains around longer and actually give them more character development I'm fine with doing the Black Moon arc too.

Although I don't see why they couldn't add more episodes if they wanted to, it's not like they have a network timeslot they're going to lose after 26 episodes.
