Lord, we have come a long way from 2014 to 2023.
Sailor Moon Crystal is not as good as the original but I am honored to start and finish Sailor Moon Crystal.
Let's all wait and see what this movie is all about!
Hopefully, it turns out to be a good closing to this series.
Amen!

Sailor Moon wasn't my first anime but the first few anime that I have ever seen in my life.

The 90s anime's Stars Arc was a huge disappointment. Hopefully this will convey the emotions of manga perfectly and Naoko's original masterful story finally will get what it deserves.

Now after this let's get a fantastic adaptation of the manga instead of just an ok one. Sailor moon is meant to have its concepts expanded on not cut down. Give us an adaptation that adapts all the manga, side stories and code name sailor v and Sensei approved original content please.

That said I am really excited for the final.
The trailer had me in tears. So much pain is on the way.

I just wish it wasn't 2 movies. I mean sailor moon is an icon amd a cash cow. It deserves better treatment. They didn't even. Give the eternal movies enough run time and the dream arc is the shortest arc. It getting as many cuts as it did was ridiculous. They better give these films enough run time, but I think at this point we all know they won't.

I watched the event live.. we were three or four people to make a quick live translation of the event since no subtitles were available (live show) but it was damn hard on the live chat yet very fun lol… when the main surprise aka the first PV came out I was floored… I didn’t know what to say anymore lol.

I don’t know if someone specified it here but Kotono revealed that the recording for the first movie has been done so the new seiyuu for Galaxia and some of the anima mates and of course the starlight have been chosen… I’m so scared. I know the new casting will be mainly young seiyuu but I wished Horie Mitsuko came back as Galaxia. I know it won’t be but a man can dream..

Oh and I wish it was a TV anime or at least a OVA serie since we had all the format because a two movie part is too quick for me.. a little sour tbh

Can't wait! Never watched OG Sailor Moon but I own all 3 seasons of Crystal on blu ray and watched Eternal on Netflix. I love all of it. I do gotta say that the original must've been 75% filler if it went on for 200 and they were able to fully adapt this in just 36 episodes and 4 movies, lol

oh the 90s was one big filler lol
Toei didn't give Naoko time to finish the manga, they were pulling seasons before she had an idea how the arcs will end. That led to very much an altered version of her story, she had no agency of
filler is an understatement, it is a completely different story with only the core idea as base. Even the characters have been massively altered. Mamo, Rei, Haruka, Minako, Seiya, chibiusa, all got a make over in the 90s.

we all old folks grew up with it or was our first introduction to the story, and it is what it is, even though it hasn't aged very well.

Yes, it is true that the old Sailor Moon has a LOT of filler, many that are not really necessary but also fillers that are very good and actually have a message and entertainment, it was good days back then. I must say, I loved Eternal and i saw season 3 of crystal but the first two one's were almost unwatchable for me but still pushed me to go through it ( i regret it though). And also read the Manga.

It is definetly worth to watch both .
I can definetly but not confirm that they have been altered heavily, but only some bit. I think the characters are well presented in both Anime :)

The thing is I got into anime later in life which was late 2018 when I was 36 years old, I turn 40 in September. I did watch some anime before that and I knew all about Sailor Moon but didn't become a hardcore anime fanatic until 2019. I had always heard most of the original series was filler but funny thing is that a majority of people still prefer it over Crystal. Do you think it's due to nostalgia?

I know it's a very unpopular opinion but the character art of the first 2 seasons of Crystal is my favorite out of any iteration of Sailor Moon. I believe the original artist returned for season 3 and Eternal but just something about the facial features appealed to me more in the first 2 seasons of Crystal.

THAT is so awesome, I'm nearing 40 myself.
For me the 90s anime was unwatchable as a kid due to the horrendous dub my country gave it, also I was smol and scared of it back in 1993 hahahah, I did pick it up in 2008 though, and loved it then, but after watching and reading the other sailor moon stuff, I watched the 90s with a critical eye and well... not my fav anymore.

I think Crystal got a lot of undeserved hate, and it was torn apart frame by frame, but having rewatched it multiple times now, I really love it as much as the manga.

I ADORE the crystal 1-2 art style, they looked so beautiful and unique. Later on they turned into generic moe(round faces and innocent big eyes that make teenage girls, or adult women look like 8 year olds) that is an art style I personally despise so for example crystal 3 while my fav story arc, it wasn't as aesthetically pleasing as 1-2. And my biggest critique for Eternal was the art style, along with the fact that it shouldn't have been 2 movies but a series instead.

If you read the forums for when Crystal first aired, apparently there was some severe animation issues that were corrected in the blu ray release. Also people seem to not care for the art style in the first two seasons of Crystal which I personally love. I mean Usagi has lips in the first two seasons. What's not to like about that? Lol .. Anyways, I'm getting a Chizuru Mizuhara (Rent-a-Girlfriend) car wrap installed in a week and I'd like to share the design. It cost me $550 to hire a graphic designer in Florida to dream this thing up and installation is going to run me $3950 here in Houston at the highest rated wrap shop in the area. Anyways, here's the 3D mockup..

Oh boy it was a blood bath.
but I do disagree with the "severity" of the issue.
Yes crystal had issues, some noticeable one, but most of the call outs by the "critiques" were screenshots (many of them photoshopped) of inbetween frames, that could not be seen without pausing (it's what I meant with it being torn apart)
now my daily job is that of an animator, so I can tell when a scene lacks or not.
the noticeable problems were up to episode 8, with episode 3 being the worst of them (a Toei animator said that Toei would sent final edits only 3 days before premiere of episodes, which means the animators were not only overworked but also forced to cut corners. anyone in the animation industry knows that 3 days is not enough time for anything.
episodes after 8 were very well done and seasons 2 was the best animation Sailor Moon has ever seen lol. and that because few episodes in Toei got a tv offer aka big money.

Also YES FOR Usagi having lips, I will never not be mad about them all losing their lips to moe lol

Ps: nice car and tatt

Not even only the magical girl concept, but whole shoujo genre overall had its own shape with Sailor Moon. A lot of fantasy/supernatural shoujo manga (and even some shounen) exists thanks to Sailor Moon. Truly one of the most influential series of all time.

Me too!! I love the depth of Chibi-usa's character, the great development she has, how she learns to believe in herself and gets more confident and this mysterious part about her character which we don't know if she will also get a similar ending to Usagi's. But Naoko already stopped making manga a long time ago so we will probably never see her own story :( I wish she at least gave us a one-shot or maybe even artwork of the future of Chibi-usa. She would have been a great shoujo protagonist.

Seen the trailer today and I'm really disappointed in the music. Not sure why they couldn't change the composer because his stuff is not suitable for the atmosphere SM has. 
It looks great otherwise, I'm extremely hyped because a great animator was hired for some of the key shots. Sidney Deng got to design a few shots of { spoiler so won't disclose] and it looks amazing ! Shame they did not let him do more

I will literally have a nervous breakdown if they gave the role of Galaxia to a effing actress and not to a professional voice actress like they did with the poor Queen Nehelenia. In a perfect world, HORIE Mitsuko got a call back to voice her again since she worked on Crystal season III singing the second version of the Opening theme but I know that I am grasping at straws.
I need to know also who will portray the animamates. Obviously like the starlights it will be some younger voice actresses that i probably don't know, but I'm very eager to know.

At least Chibi Chibi will be voiced by Kotono again... Or imagine ARAKI Kae as Chibi Chibi.. I'll die

It's most likely going to come to Netflix. It took them 2 months after the second movie to announce that it was coming to Netflix, so we probably will have to wait that long again.

 it looks as if 3 different studios worked for this and they merged it into one video, the character design keeps morphing from S3 to Eternal style. the song is gorgeous. Love Chibi Chibi. ok well at least I know to keep my expectations extremely low :depressed noises:

I have been a fan since the 90's-00's. I can finally say that we have come full circle, now that they used Moonlight Densetsu for the OP credits. I was pretty disappointed when it didn't make the OP for the remake. I mean it was quite the epic song for them to use it for the whole OG series (with the exception of Sailor Moon Stars, where they used Makenai which was epic in itself). I am also happy that they used some of the OG OP scenes. It makes the nostalgia so much more bittersweet. I love it!

Also, does anyone know who will be subbing the movies? Has anyone released the first movie with subs yet?

I noticed after watching Crystal that all criticisms of the story and animation use examples from season 1. My favorite Sailor Moon designs are those used in the 90s anime and in Eternal. I was happy with Crystal season 2, however, and I would have liked the reboot to maintain a consistent look.
