Love that show <3Ironically, someone literally just said something similar in my rewatch of My So Called Life.

It's almost as if Toei didn't want to make this series or something.Just about to wrap up the series and they now decide to add exaggerated reaction shots to the art style. The art direction continues to be a damn mess.

Ironicslly, I just realized the first time I ever watched that was around the first time I saw the 90s anime.Love that show <3
Toei has 4 of the most popular anime ever created, DBZ, Sailor Moon, Digimon, and One Piece. They continue to rake in the dough, none of them can get a half way decent budget or any effort.
Exactly. I was tweeting something and one of those blind Crystal fans replied "But they made a Bluray release!". Yes.. They did... It still looks like balls.Look, the worst thing about Crystal is that even with continued shitty art direction they've somehow still made major improvements over the start. Maybe that's part of the plan, start somewhere below ground and any vague improvement at all will seem amazing! Yes, I remember the shit near the end of Dark Kingdom getting worse in some ways, but that would require rethinking my statement here!

But the animation department... It's really a mixed bag. I feel like Toei made a bigger effort with Sailor Moon back then, despite the terrible animation quality and "monster of the week" formula to get in all the episodes for the season. But they did some neat things with the show.... and gave Mars airtime :x
They don't "win", they just think they're right because they don't know any better, so they become very obnoxious about it. I'm sure they choose to argue because they refuse to see and try to understand/learn why so many hate it. I try to always stay neutral to hate on something, because it doesn't benefit me in any way trying to tell people why it's awesome or why it sucks and why they're wrong from liking it. Each to their own.. I just wish Crystal's huge fans would not try to deny so hard that Crystal isn't what it was supposed to be (if they try to fight with other people about it).I've learned a valuable lesson at a local comic shop. Don't debate with Crystal Fangirls. They will win.
Surely they did. 90 anime has lots of high profile director get involved. The weekly episode might be vary from normal to ok, but all the climax and important episode get a good director to work on.
But that is not the worst. To me it's fight scene. Nothing is as bad as the enemy show up for 1 minute only to die in 1 single shot. I mean seriously, they don't even try to do shit.
Suddenly a bunch of reaction faces gets pointed out. With comedy sound effects and all.
As for the comedy faces, I liked them and I'm glad they were included, but they actually felt out of place here. Funny that.
The Inners did get kidnapped in 90s anime, they just handled it a lot differently.The Black Moon Arc has been infinitely better than Dark Kingdom imo. That said, the 90s anime doing away with the abduction element was better, and Venus didn't do much of anything really.

Dead Scream was definitely better in the 90s anime.

Yea, they really couldn't do that in the 1990s anime since he would be pretty close to be a statutory rapist.
I can't consider the kidnapping plots to be equal. Not only is the impact lessened, the 90's versionsplit the abduction and Usagi's kidnapping into two separate events. As such, the resolution to the latter is completely different.
From what I understand, he wouldn't be in Japan (where the legal age of consent is quite a bit lower apparently). I think that that's just one of those things that doesn't translate completely naturally between Japan and the West. Different cultural norms/societal standards and all that.
Man why didn't they just do this from the beginning? The bottom row looks fun. I'd watch and enjoy it if they had them added from the start..!Sailor Moon Crystal 19

Sailor Pluto makes an appearance and how the story progresses is more straight forward than the 90s anime.

The Inners definitely benefited with extended screentime of the 90's anime, but they were slowly getting shafted after R. By the end of S they were pretty much background characters. The only exception I'd say is Minako, who ironically was probably the only one who didn't get much screentime in the first two seasons.
Speaking of Minako, yeah it's a shame she's meant to be the leader here but we never really see her in that role. I always thought it was weird that it was mentioned in Sailor Stars anime that Minako was the leader of the Senshi, given that Rei clearly had that role in the 90's anime.
Toei Animation Europe mentioned in a news article on Friday that a second series of Sailor Moon Crystal is in the works, and will premiere this summer.
Man, I really hope Crystal covers Infinity. S Usagi is so annoying.
I saw someone on ANN saying how Crystal has bombed with viewers and blu ray sales worldwide. Is there any proof to the numbers of these things, or a statement made by Toei? I sure haven't heard anything.
How much did Toei save that it only took a few morons buying volumes at Japan's Dystopian RRP to make Season 2 viable?!
Seriously, I've seen better sales for shit I would actually like to see an s2 (or s3 in the case of FMP and BakaTest) and that gets cold cocked in favour of this shit?!
Looks like the sales have been sub-3000 in Japan at least.
Wouldn't surprise me if merchandising sales are at the real heart of this matter.
