| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So, this film was better in some ways than the previous movie, but in some ways worse. It was still a very mixed bag though. While the pacing was still crazy fast, at least the film flowed better. That being said, while the pacing for the first film was worse, the result of the pacing had a bigger effect on this film. Too many things just happen with no explanation and they just expect you to roll with the outcomes. There is barely any time for emotional moments to sink in. The animation and music were still amazing, but this story didn't fit a film narrative. It could have been so much better. All that said, I am not the target demographic for the series, so perhaps others didn't have the same issue with the the movies that I had. |

| Definitely this arc is the movie version of Crystal's first season but better. Little timescreen for each sailor scout (but this time they were useful at the final climax and were treated with respect unlike Crystal), generic evil queen (but is gorgeous and I do like the brief introduction about the "darkness been attracted by the light"), sub generals one-shoted (poor animals... not even Eye of the Tiger OST... they looked fabolous at least?), generals who are actually members of the old moon kingdom and Usagi one-shoting the generic evil queen (but now with nakama power... not a bad thing). The golden crystal was a simple but effective: everything talking so far about the silver crystal this, the silver than and the plot just said: GOLD and everyone lost their mind xD haha well overall is not out of place for me their introduction. It's pretty similar of the queen Nehelenia's existence, she is just the dark counterpart of the queen Serenity (shame that they not gave any nice twist or character development to make her more interesting than just be evil because yes). I heard a couple negative commentaries about Helios from ppl who watched the anime so I had low expectatives from him but this movie's version of the character is actually good (yeah I just watched all crystal episodes + the first season of the 90s so is my first time watching this arc). Oh boi idk if I have to watch the 90's version to compared both versions... Overall I liked it. The pace was horrible (like this is for a three movie format instead of two) and there is small unnecesary filler scenes where they repeat the same dialogs (like oh I have this dream, oh me too, u too?, so this is dream is, bla bla bla) that would be used better to improve the pacing. But at least oh boi was not horrible like the first season of Crystal. The animation were good and dub versions were good. |
| Ahh loved seeing Human Artemis, Luna, and Diana even though they really didn't do anything but be eye candy. (Almost zero to no reaction to them in human form too)....If you look at it another way it's kind of random too but ah well....I wish there was a little more talking to them in human form or something.... I also couldn't help but squeal at the nostalgic -sort of hidden- song at the end of the credits that gives a nod to the original Sailor Moon SuperS series. Other than that...whole thing felt rushed. But that's what happens when they take a movie approach. A bummer too cuz I recall really liking Helios in the original anime series way more than Mamoru. But the whole Helios x Chibiusa thing was so rushed it was like "ok....somebody just feeling lusty eh...." And lol at someone earlier commenting how everyone freaked out when they were saying they needed the "GOLDEN" crystal while everything up to this point was all about the "silver crystal" lololol. Speaking of which....I actually cringed when Usagi triggered Mamoru's crystal from awakening....ugh....not sure why...the delivery of it? idk... In any case...do really hope they're working on adapting the "old equivalent of Stars" preferably not more movies cuz, again, this seemed rushed... |

| Both movies were incredibly rushed, but oh well, I still liked it. I loved them all wearing their royal outfits (it's usual for Usagi and Mamoru, but not the others) and Luna, Artemis and Diana in human form. Also the sailor forms of Palla, Vesta, Juno and Ceres, which I think wasn't in the 90s anime. |
| This was all over the place, rushed, effects and music could have been even better, especially the transformation music sounded really off compared to the old version. As for the style - s3 had a great style already why change it? :( also the backgrounds felt so empty, I wish they’d have drawn more items/stuff to have something to look at. Idk maybe I need to rewatch. |
| Terrible movie, like the last. All it did was remind me how much better the 1st anime is compared to the Crystal version. All the characters are shallow and one-note, everyone keeps repeating the same things over and over, the antagonists are 1 dimensional, the action is boring and the story jets around like it's trying to achieve hyper speed. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch the R, S and SuperS movies again. |

| Just watched the 2 movies. I came in with low expectations so actually I found it enjoyable. Of course you have to read the manga to pretty much see they stuck with the source material VERY closely including the dialogue. If you watched the 90s anime, you pretty much see how much it veered off from he manga. I watched the movies for the princess dresses, human cats, and how Hotaru awakened her outer gaurdian counterparts. Looking forward to the Stars arc since, like the 90s anime, the story veered off there as well. Coming in as a layman, no it's not a great movie. It's for the fans at the end of the day 😜 |
