Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Crystal

Though a little clumsy and easily brought to tears, Usagi Tsukino is a typical 14-year-old girl in her second year of junior high. However, all of that changes when an encounter with Luna, a mysterious talking black cat, whose head bears the mark of a crescent moon, results in the animal bestowing a magical brooch upon her. Now Usagi can transform into Sailor Moon, a magical girl in a sailor uniform who protects love and peace!

Usagi is appointed as a guardian of justice and is tasked with the search for the legendary Silver Crystal, a magical artifact that holds immense power, as well as finding the other Sailor Guardians and the lost princess of Luna's home, the Moon Kingdom. Her mission isn't without opposition, however; Queen Beryl, ruler of the Dark Kingdom, wants to claim the Silver Crystal and take its power for her own.

Though she still has to worry about her school, family, and love life, it is up to Sailor Moon and the other Sailor Guardians to save the day!

Sailor moon is a really good anime. I should probably start off by saying i never watched the 90s version. The art is just too old for my taste. So i decided to watch crystal. And i have to say i do not regret that decision i really enjoyed it.

story: 9. The story is the strong suit of sailor moon. It is unique and original. I've never seen anything like it.

Art: 9. A lot of people didn't like the art and animation. I didn't mind it, personally. In fact I liked it. The art is really cute and I loved the way they did the ... eyes.

Sound: 8. The ops and eds where great!

character: 7. Characters are where Sailor moon falls a little short. There aren't really any flaws in really any of them. Which does not make them bad, just not really relatable. I liked my characters to be flawed tbh. Sailor moon and chibiusa being the best. They are by far the most developed. This is where I've heard the 90s version getting it better. The sailor guardians are still fun tho. Tuxedo mask is a little mid if i must say. I always found myself wanting Sailor moon to put her friends before him and stop fawning over him. Which was a little irritating.

Enjoyment: 9. I quite liked sailor moon I have to say it's a favorite of mine, I can't wait to watch the movies.

Overall: 9. Worth a watch, definitely.

Mixed Feelings

REVIEW IN ENGLISH

I love Sailor Moon, the classic anime is a work of art, with delicate animation, fun scenes, and captivating history, romance and drama. This adaptation, compared to the classic anime, leaves something to be desired in many aspects if we compare it, such as the inferiority and strangeness of the animation with the use of CGI, the rushed development in the presentation of the characters, and also, the lack of showing the day to day Sailors' day in relaxed situations, where their development and their friendship are somewhat lost, making them more distant from the public. These are the negative points that I ... found with this new adaptation, however, I also need to say that, in a way, it is somewhat unfair to compare both titles, since I would not like to see a copy of the classic anime, but the possibility of know the manga adaptation, and that's what we were given. I enjoyed having the opportunity to watch the manga adaptation, here there was more focus on the objective of the work, making the atmosphere more serious and focused, with significant battles and a good narrative of the story, which was very positive.

REVIEW EM PORTUGUÊS, BRASIL

Amo Sailor Moon, o anime clássico é uma obra de arte, com uma animação delicada, cenas divertidíssimas, e história, romance e drama cativantes. Nessa adaptação, em comparação ao anime clássico, deixa a desejar em muitos quesitos se formos comparar, como a inferioridade e estranheza da animação com o uso de CGI, o desenvolvimento apressado na apresentação das personagens, e também, a falta de mostrar o dia a dia das Sailors em situações descontraídas, onde assim se perde de certa forma o desenvolvimento delas e de sua amizade, tornando-as mais distantes ao público. Esses são os pontos negativos que achei com essa nova adaptação, porém, preciso dizer também que, de certa forma, é um tanto quanto injusto comparar ambos os títulos, já que, não gostaria de ver uma cópia do anime clássico, mas a possibilidade de conhecer a adaptação do mangá, e foi o que nos foi entregue. Eu gostei de ter a oportunidade de assistir a adaptação do mangá, aqui houve mais foco no objetivo da obra, tornando o clima mais sério e centrado, com batalhas significativas e boa narrativa da história, o que se fez muito positivo.

If this is "closer to the manga", then the 90s' anime did the source material a big favor.

I grew up on the dubbed version of the 90s anime, and later rewatched it subbed. I loved it, and I genuinely enjoyed the characters. But Crystal has made me dislike the character of Usagi, as well as find her fairly useless. It's just the same cycle over and over. Sailor Moon cries, senshi protect her, senshi lose energy and collapse, Sailor Moon cries, they stand up repowered or she "remembers the power of friendship and gets re-energized herself". There's no variation to it. In addition, the 90s' ... anime gave me an emotional gut punch. The only time I felt emotional watching this was during the initial nostalgia factor of meeting the senshi over the first few episodes. In the 90s' anime, she was childish, but endearing. Here... she's lost the endearing quality.

Animation? Terrible. SM is a powerhouse of a classic, and it deserved better. The CG is horrible. Don't get me wrong, I am not against CG, but do it well if you are going to do it. The drawn animation was also done incredibly poorly. The people who made this should be ashamed of taking something so legendary and stomping it into the mud. It should have been handled with the respect and care it deserves.

Voice acting was mostly okay, with the exception of the "big bad" in Season 1. The lines were delivered like a petulant child. In regards to the dialogues themselves, they were poorly done. They feel clunky and unnatural. They needed serious rewriting to make them flow better in this media.

If you loved the 90s' anime and want something SM related, I recommend the live action series. It starts off a little clunky, but get good at around episode 8, and the acting improves a lot. It also delivers some good emotional gut punches that Crystal can't pull off.
