Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Crystal Season III

Usagi Tsukino is still struggling to balance her home life with the duties of being Sailor Moon, the guardian of love and justice. Along with the other Sailor Guardians and her boyfriend Mamoru Chiba, they begin investigating cases of students from Mugen Academy, a school for the most elite students, who are being transformed into monsters. During the investigation, they meet three strange individuals: Haruka Tenou, a handsome racecar driver; Michiru Kaiou, a talented violinist; and Hotaru Tomoe, a mysterious girl with a weak constitution.

As more incidents occur, the Sailor Guardians are met with another surprise—the appearance of two new planetary protectors with motives of their own. Despite the newcomers' questionable allegiance to Usagi and her comrades, they all face a threat from a common enemy: an evil entity who calls himself Pharaoh 90.

REVIEW IN ENGLISH -

I finished the third season of this new adaptation and I must say: WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ANIMATION! The quality in this season is absurd, both in character development and in the story, animation and soundtrack, it's really beautiful. I think they heard a consent on what was delivered previously, and fixed it here. They improved the lines, the animation... and removed that horrible CGI in the Sailor transformations. The anime remains serious and very well constructed, it really conveys the emotion that the scene wants to convey. Also, this adaptation improved Chibiusa absurdly, because in the classic anime she was a bit ... annoying, but here she is wonderful and I got more attached to her, so if before I didn't like her so much now I love her! I just don't give full marks for the ending itself, which was left very open, I think it's positive even open endings, and here it was necessary, but, at a certain stage, in this way the season ended in a very inconclusive way, and even if there is a continuation our films believe that a season should be properly concluded. Anyway, it's the only point to mention. I highly recommend this season.

REVIEW EM PORTUGUÊS, BRASIL -

Finalizei a terceira temporada dessa nova adaptação e devo dizer: QUE ANIMAÇÃO LINDA! A qualidade nessa temporada é absurda, tanto no desenvolvimento do personagem, quanto na história, animação e trilha sonora, é realmente muito lindo. Acho que eles ouviram um consentimento sobre o que foi entregue anteriormente, e arrumaram aqui. Melhoraram os traços, a animação... e tiraram aquele CGI horroroso nas transformações em Sailor. O anime segue sério e muito bem construído, passa realmente a emoção que a cena quer transmitir. Também, consegui que essa adaptação melhoraram absurdamente a Chibiusa, pois no anime clássico ela era meio irritante, mas aqui ela é maravilhosa e eu apeguei mais a ela, então se antes não curtia tanto agora a adoro! Só não dou nota máxima pelo final mesmo, que ficou bem em aberto, acho positivo finais em aberto até, e aqui era necessário, mas, com um certo estágio, dessa forma a temporada foi finalizada de forma muito inconclusiva, e mesmo que continuação há nossos filmes acreditam que uma temporada deve ser devidamente finalizada. Enfim, é o único ponto a que citar. Recomendo muito essa temporada.

Mixed Feelings

**Warning: English is not my first language**

Sailor Moon S3 shows itself as an improvement from its previous seasons (Both art and music were certainly something to work with, CGI was ruining everything this thing stands for) and a remake of its classic 90s counterpart. Working with such a classic as Sailor Moon will get high expectations from everybody, and it did keep us hype about possibilities.

So, it's quite disappointing to find that Crystal S3 couldnt handle that hype properly. Instead, S3 seems a lot rushed (It's only 13 episodes, so of course pace will be faster), even though it had a really nice arc to ... work with that could be delivered in a better way, by properly developing characterization and wrapping up all the previous events from S1 and S2. Instead, we are faced to just getting little pieces from everyone and forced to like it in order to find any emotional sense. And plot holes, big stupid plot holes that basically ruined S2.

It also fell into turning each and every Sailor senshi into, basically, cannon fodder. Something quite repetitive in S1 and S2; and it was a fresh feeling that they finally served a purpose for themselves, rather than doing it for plot advancing. But then it happened, and it's like they thought the Sailor Senshis were just there to make some filler. Characterization was a high point in the classic 90s series, and I understand that you can't get that done in 13 episodes per arc. It actually forces you to make the best writting ever so you can get to exploit the best of this. It's quite obvious they didnt do it.

While animation got improved, there is still room for improvement: Minako's transformation sequence and animation after episode 35 is pretty much a good example. Even though, it still shows us better animation than S1 and S2. Music is something I cannot complain, specially the last 2 episodes; but it was quite irrelevant and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Overall, Sailor Moon S3 feels like a clickbait article, that you find useful initially; but the more you keep reading, the more you notice it's voided of any good content. While it's good that they try to be faithful to manga (A change from that cartoonish and lightheart tone from the 90s), it's quite sad that they couldn't exploit the vast and rich characters this franchise offers.

I hope any other sequel, remake or reboot will notice how important are these characters in order to get something worth of watching.

Whoever says this is an improvement needs to get their eyes checked.

Not only did this aggregious opening copy the Higurashi no naku koro ni Kai opening frame by frame, but it also copied the design style from Higurashi no naku koro ni Kira. They're litterally having the Higurashi no naku koro ni Kira eyes. It also copied some of Higurashi's crazed looks, especially for Professor Tomoe.

Even more than before, they are floating randomly. Tf am I supposed to take from them just floating to their destinations? It's never brought up, because the animators just got lazy, like ”mmyeah, just have them float around or whatevs. ... Who cares about this obscure IP anyway.”

Speaking of physics and consequences, not only to they just acrobatically strike ballet poses when they are pushed back by enemy attacks and land like feathers (seriously, they can't get thrown around and get hurt because they are light as feathers, as shown by the fact that they just float in the air like dandelions), but their attacks... oh, man. Their attacks 1. are only working when combined (mixing fire and water... yeah...), 2. only work as a small ball of energy which lands like a soft cannon ball. Fire and thunder just don't set things on fire in Crystal. If I hate something about fire power attacks, it's when a character throws a fire ball and the enemy gets slightly pushed back, as if gently poked in the shoulder.

Like most others pointed out, the characters don't grow personalities. They are Usagi's hive minded slaves.

There's no stakes, no buildup, just... doing things differently. In the worst ways possible.

Even more than before, there's not minute, no, even 5 seconds, without music in the background dictating how the viewers should feel.

Speaking of music, it's so out of place. Church music like in Kuroshitsuji doesn't fit Sailor Moon. Then there's some Harry Potter-esque sounding fantasy tunes that, once again, don't match with Sailor Moon's vibe.
