Except that Toei logic dictates that Sailor Moon will sell no matter how much effort they put into it, therefore they should put in zero.
Of course...
Just like One Piece.
"Dumb kids are going to watch it anyway, don't bother with high quality animation"
It's funny seeing the low effort in their animation, while seeing all the work that goes into Kamen Rider and Super Sentai every year. Though, those two are made to sell toys while most of their animation is based on manga. I say most since Pretty Cure.
One Piece has some pretty great animation at times in the saga that comes after Enies Lobby, though. It sort of became a playground for young animators for a little while.
Even now you still every once in a while get a random bit of sakuga popping up. It's much much rarer than it used to be, though, and I can only really remember one such sequence showing up in the current arc to date. It feels like the anime has really tanked in the last 2 or 3 years.

Did Sailor Moon Crystal actually look like the left during its original broadcast?

I saw someone on Twitter post this the other day. Sailor Moon Crystal is the worst looking anime I've seen in a long time. Yuyushiki was pretty bad too but at least it blended in with everyone else.
I don't even think they get that far and just say "People will tune in regardless of how terrible it looks because it's popular ".
Live action stuff does have that other revenue stream usually, but it also tends to be way cheaper to produce a somewhat quality product. Not sure if this exactly the same for Sentai, but needing to hire in tons of animators to produce a show on top of VAs and writers can make the whole process expensive.
Big Hero 6. It will bring a smile to your face and that is a Raxus guarantee!
Good point, animation tends to be more expensive.
And it's not like KR and Sentai are super-high budget *looks at 90s CGI*

The last several episodes of SM:C have looked a lot better then those first 4-6 which had some real derp faces at times. Whenever SM:C airs on toonami thankfully we won't have that problem

It doesn't air on TV so Toei didn't give it any budget.
Sometimes I feel like Toei only made the new SM because they technically promised it years ago and felt like they had to eventually follow through, if only to get everyone to shut up about it.

Wasn't that well-animated Toei show someone posted a few pages back also released online?

Which is that? Not sure if I heard of it.
It's getting a lot of praise and looks hilarious. Chris Rock is hilarious when he's not being held back as a Zebra.
I don't get people who think you need to be black to find Chris Rock or "black audience" movies funny. You just need the vaguest understanding of what black life in America is like. I mean I could see someone from like China not getting it; "He says he won't get a taxi but then gets it? Is this a joke about America's poor infrastructure??"

Anyway, my problem with Crystal is that it's just....boring. And I'm sure a lot of that has to do with the poor animation and direction, but the writing itself feels so slow; episodes are a chore to get through. What little I watched of the redub for the original series was still entertaining, even when the plot wasn't progressing at all.

Hey, if you liked Summer Wars, I just found out Udon published a "Material Book" with behind-the-scenes stuff.

You should go back and rewatch the original Sailor Moon if you think Crystal is boring as Crystal feels mach speed compared to the original Sailor Moon. Heck it's hard for me to watch the original series anymore because of how much pointless comedy it has. In 11 episodes of Crystal we've covered what took the original series nearly 50 episodes to do.
PGSM remains my favorite.
As for the 90's anime, I still like it, but it went downhill after R for me. Just got done reviewing S in another thread and I found it uneven.
The manga didn't really execute Dark Kingdom well, but it starts to get better starting with Black Moon.

We will never see eye to eye on some of the Sailor Moon stuff. Sailor Moon R has been quite the slog and I still view it as perhaps the nadir of Sailor Moon.

It's hilarious that a bi-weekly show still ends up looking like ass. Almost as hilarious as a monthly manga series still looking like ass.
;_; I think its a guy too and I'm straight sooooooooo
Maybe if TOEI would actually put some money behind Crystal then it wouldn't look like such an eyesore. I know they can do good animation, I watched Kyōsōgiga.

They never bother with a budget for the stuff they know will get ratings.
The stuff that pissed me off about R back in the day still pisses me off today, but I will say I can see the quality parts in the cannon material more closely now, it just gets ruined by the Spore and the one of the truly stupidist break up arcs I have ever seen.
Eh, I have found that could be said of any Sailor Moon season really. With each season pushing 50 episodes each, it just comes with the territory.
She knows she is insufferable and wants to die a painless death of nonexistence.
It isn't the premise, it is the execution, when the characters internally immediately spot at least two big problems with the break up, that is bad writing.
I thought S was slightly longer than the rest and found it had a real bad case of the oh shit, we need to actually get this plot done at the end of it.
The first series would do monster of the day filler, then a stretch of plot, more monster of the day, more plot. R also had a bit of build here and there. S is all goof off for forty episodes, oh wait, time for the plot stuff to happen.
I do admit that the memories of S are aged, Hulu is far away from S at this point.
I dunno, Season One felt like it dragged, to say nothing of the Tree of Doom arc.
Yeah S and Stars have the worst pacing. I wanted to like Sailor Stars but the execution was so similar to S, and the sort of nail in the coffin for me was the final 5-6 episodes, since they basically character assassinated the entire cast.
I generally hold that the Sailor Moon series get gradually worse as they go along. First is the best and so on.
I do think that the later seasons outside of Stars have some real gems in the random Non-Canon episodes while the plot heavy episodes are generally better in the first two seasons.

It doesn't really stick until Super S and Stars, when yeah, it's pretty damn obvious that the show has changed main characters. Half of the team are footnotes in Stars, it's almost as if they did a mid season Power Rangers style swap out of talent.
Usagi/Mamoru got overshadowed by Haruka/Michiru in the first half of S, and the second half is when they start pushing Chibiusa to be main character, a status she keeps for all of SuperS. Then you get to Stars which spends a lot of time focusing on a low-rent Mamoru wannabe.

I can only imagine the reaction to it would be as good as End of Eva
Imagine if both aired on the same night.
Who the hell would go out with a neogaf poster that wasnt Man God
I only want Non-Canon Love
