It's basicaly just the orgional Buu arc in HD if even that, right?
You'd think Toei would have learned their lesson when the last OST guy turned out to be a shister.

This is Toei we're talking about.

I'm gonna hold off on any celebrations until we get a Japanese source, but I was never too worried
It isn't like this show is being made for a network either.

So if what they're saying is true it doesn't seem like there will be a break between S1 and this hypothetical s2, obviously for TV there will be but biweekly s1 is going to end around summer anyways. Is anyone really surprised by Sailor Moon Crystal getting a second season/basically going to keep going until it covers the whole manga? I felt that was almost guaranteed unless the series mega mega bombed.
There are no American Blu-ray sales for Crystal yet, because Viz decided to wait to dub and release Crystal until after they finish with 90's Sailor Moon (which will take years). It might also have been a demand from Toei, because Japanese anime business plans apparently try to make ~3000 of the hardest-core otaku (whales) pay for the entire production through overpriced Blu-rays, and they hate it when American versions threaten their grip on those whales by offering to sell people 12 episodes for $50. So apparently, the Japanese companies like it when (demand that) the American companies give them some timed exclusivity.
But now Viz has apparently cancelled their plans to significantly delay the Blu-ray release of Crystal, and they're getting started on it. Sooo... I'm not sure if there's anything to read into there. Perhaps the Japanese Blu-ray release of Crystal hasn't had the legs that Toei anticipated, so now they're feeling less threatened by Viz, and would kind of maybe appreciate some Crystal Blu-ray sales in a new market before the series gets canned.
There is also a factor of, Viz ran into quality problems with 90's Sailor Moon, due to their pointless Blu-ray upscale. So maybe they needed to tag-in Crystal, while they fix their mess.
As for the streaming, Crystal was very hyped, but then maybe half of the audience didn't like what they saw and loudly walked away (but they still like the new merchandise). I don't know if there's any way to tell what Toei expected or what they got or how many people walked away, but they definitely lost some audience.
At this point Toei are less an animation studio and more a place where dreams and childhood nostalgia goes to die and the theoretical hell upon which bad Shonen Manga (and some WSJ stuff that really didn't deserve it) goes to become grotescé parodies of themselves in animated form.
Unless you like precure then it's just darn swell.

For the most part World Trigger anime feels like World Trigger manga but on the budget of $5. It still looks better then SMC as there are no derp faces everywhere.
Did you punch him in the face?
Heh... I sure hope you asked him about Digimon Tri, though.
I really hope people don't actually ask industry people these kinds of questions unless it's at a panel.

I was watching this when it started but since episodes took forever to come out, left it in the back burner. Now I cought up to ep 14 and I'm actually liking it a bunch, not sure why it gets so much hate. I guess I'll wait until ep 26 is out because that should be the end of the 2nd arc, correct?
Much better episode than I expected honestly, I really can't remember anything about this arc (or the later ones) since it has been ages since I watched the anime/read the manga.
I was genuinely thinking "How are they going to get out of this?"
Spoilers for the rest of the season:
And while I was looking that up, I got to thinking that if Crystal really does eventually cover all arcs, we might see transformations for Sailor
and Sailor
, and maybe even the
Senshi.
I want to see a transformation for EVERYONE, Tuxedo Mask included (for the lolz)

Spoilers for the rest of the season:
I was actually thinking, with Chibi-Usa talking about needing power, that she was going to transform into Chibi Moon in this episode, and I was under the impression that she transforms for the first time in the next arc, not this one. So I went searching online and.. spoiled myself, unfortunately, not realizing she would transform in this arc. I'm still hyped to see the transformation though.

You seen him transform in the Infinite arc, so if Crystal adapts it we will most likely see it.

I feel pretty confident that we'll see Crystal adapt the entire manga at this point

I fully expect to see Tuxedo Mask's henshin sequence at some point.

Didn't do the transformation enough in the original anime for my liking. Still his weird entrances were good enough I guess.

They finally find out the truth.
And there's lots of information given out. More than in the old series. Even get to know what happened to normal people in the future. Pluto gave up that key pretty quick. Guess she must really trust them on that it's a really special case.

Too bad it's only been near the end of the show where the art has been picking up.
Another good episode, although the only thing that bothered me was how it showed two different ways of how Neo Queen Serenity became crystalized. First time showed her finding Chibi Usa, and the other had Chibi Usa still inside the building, with Neo Queen running out looking. Was Chibi-Usa inside, or outside? 0_o

That wasn't Chibi-Usa, her hair's different and Serenity thought it was her from behind, she was just a surviving child
much more grim end for her in the manga though

Thought Chibi Usa had her hair changed or something
Didn't realize it was in the manga. Wish I was able to dig them out and re-read them...I'm a little bit sad so many people seem to dislike the show, I think it's really good, the Black Moon arc has been incredible so far and I really couldn't care less about not so great animation, kf that was an issue I could never watch the original anime again because despite what some people may think, that was not the standard of the time, Sailor Moon was a cheap and at times shoddily animated series.
