Talks of Crystal 2 not being animated by Toei and the entirty of Toei's staff being assulted with a wet fish for their transgressions?

I'm more surprised you didn't complain that the next episode is a Rei episode. :p

1. I don't mind this version of Rei, although she's so boring and sans personality that I kinda miss the good old super bitchy version of her.

2. I know what happens so I can't be mad.

They ruined Rei here. PGSM Rei did the best job of capturing Rei's manga personality IMO.

R.I.P.

Well, I feel Dark Kingdom is the weakest manga section, so there is that going for it if they continue on with more of it. But yeah, it likely won't result in the art being any better.
I like Dark Kingdom but found it rushed, the art was pretty wonky at times. Black Moon and Inifinite were really good, and I liked Dream but the climax felt anti-climatic. Currently re-reading Stars to see where that ranks.

During a Toonami interview on their tumblr they mentioned Crystal is one of their most requested shows.

Hope Viz/Toei gives them the Bluray version!

One thing I really like about Stars is that, while it's not the most original of endings, it at least is more thoughtful than a "happy happy everything is solved!" ending.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
I would not mind if Sailor Moon was K-ONinified.

God knows Kyoani would do justice to the series like Toei never would.

What's up with the frilly slip :lol

Well it's a redraw, so it's often bound to have some "personal chosen" elements the artist wanted to add. Tbh, I didn't even notice until you pointed it out, lol. I think the art looks really good regardless, especially in high-res.

Let's not forget:

Given how they botched the Shitennou storyline, I'd rather have them keep it like the manga.

I love the Ayakashi Sisters in the old anime though. The sub-bosses generally got more development in the anime since it was slower paced than the manga, and I enjoyed the expansion on the Sub-Bosses. The only one I didn't like was how the Witches 5 were handled in the S anime.

I haven't read the manga, but I found Eudial totally awesome in the anime (but yeah, I didn't care much for the other Witches).

Mamoru Miyano (Demande) was Light in Death Note
Tsubasa Yonaga (Spahir) is...don't recognize him.
Hiroki Takahashi (Rebeus) was Impmon in Digimon Tamers
Houko Kuwashima (Esmeraude) was Sango in Inuyasha

I should update the OP soon.

Eudial was pretty cool, but my main problem was the pacing in Sailor Moon S. We get around 20 episodes with Eudial, 10 with Mimete, and the rest get one each. Most of them didn't get the time to be properly developed, which is a shame.

In comparison I thought the first season did a good job of developing Nephrite as a superior threat than Jadeite, Zoisite as a bigger threat than Nephrite, etc.
