That was great. I just wish I didn't have to wait two weeks to see the next one.

Sailor Moon Crystal 1
I liked the eyecatches. Not the music or the CG. But other than that. it's like... the first episode redone in this new style. I don't know why, but Umino seems more annoying now than before. Maybe because I don't want to hear him at like 2 in the morning.
Mamoru's voice seems to be working well (but seriously Ms. Bump Head? Crunchy pls) We're seeing some Ami next time, and hey, Usagi is still talking about a bald spot on a cat. It's the Sailor Moon I recall experiencing last year, that's for sure.
And the fact that Tuxedo RAMASAMA did less was also great.

If it continues following the manga and covers the Black Moon storyline,
he'll get his own attack: LA SMOKING BOMBA

At least the ED is good. And wow, that translation is crap.
Yeah, I was able to watch with no subscription. I guess they the warning they had up was a default one.
Yes, some of it was weird.
Is it the same translation everywhere?

Yes. It was all kinds of bump head. xD
Sailor Moon Crystal Episode 1:
That was, pretty good actually, and certainly less shitty then I was expecting. Yea, it still bears some of the sores of the troubled production and questionable direction but this was still a pretty good adaptation of the first episode. One of the most striking things I found is how faithful the original anime episode 1 is to the source material given how much that would change. Also, I don't want to strangle Crystal Usagi as much, that alone is worth the price of admission.

I'm legit surprised. Episode 1 was great.
+
Subtle new changes
Had Motoki, Naru, Umino, Haruna, Shingo and Ikuko
Great BGM
Dat Sailor V HD remake
Nice ED song
Subtle use of Jadeite, great for building hype
-
Poor translation, but acceptable. Sailor Moon saying 'what the hell?' come on now.
Weak OP, bring back Moonlight Densetsu.
Overall very pleased.
I think Hulu's was the same as Crunchyroll's.

I would so buy that Sailor V game on PSN. Do it, Toei.
26 episodes over 1 year.

Not a bad first episode. I think i'm already used to the artstyle after seeing it in motion. I've never read the manga, so if this is following it closely I'm looking forward to seeing more.

The wait is my only complaint.I loved it, it was wonderful i just wish we'd get a new episode every week, stupid 26 episodes over one year plan.
I'd buy it on the PlayStation Network, Nintendo eShop, Xbox Live, Atari 2600/5200/7800/Jaguar, 3DO, Magnavox Odyssey...EVERYTHING.
He doesn't throw roses in the manga, which is what this is based on.
Anyway:

If the show keeps this level of quality when they all show up, the comedic value will be off the charts.
Guess that's the finale verdict of if a episode being a very good one in general. ^_^
I wonder if this show actually takes place in 1992.

This won't surprise anyone but I wasn't impressed. The animation is lacking and the pacing is mediocre at best. I was hoping they could update the writing but that was a misplaced hope. Women being enslaved by jewelry without irony doesn't exactly cut it in 2014, among other things.
Edit: The video game scenes were kind of nice.

Just watched it. I think I liked it, but because it was so similar to the first episode of the anime, it was a weird: like a scene-by-scene remake sort of thing.
Art style and animations were fine. I just miss over-the-top faces and motions that were used in the original anime for comedic purpose. Transformation scene, while a little bit jarring, wasn't that bad. I liked the music they used before and during the transformation - made it more epic.
And it's funny how useless Tuxido Mask was He didn't do anything here, just shouted "do it now!" which was meaningless because a second later Luna said the same thing and actually explained what is it that Usagi should do.

I quite liked it. It's been many years since I've seen Sailor Moon, and It's only ever been in English. Usagi's voice and constant whining grated on me a bit, but I imagine I'll get used to it. The CG transformation was jarring, but it wasn't too bad. I've seen much worse when it comes to CG.
I liked the BGM a lot. OP/ED were pretty good as well.

Well, that is more the downright odd dichotomy of Naoko Takeuchi. One foot on the progressive and one foot on the traditional.
