Awesome! And we can see a preview of the Sailors' transformations. This video made me realize how great Sailor Moon Crystal will be.

I love it!

Animation, scenes, music *.*
CGI doesn't bother me so much here :)
Only that last part when they they go loks so strange.

But that last part with scene from poster!
Looks amazing! *.*
Even CGI doesn't look bad in that scene :D

At least some scenes during Moon Kingdom moments will look pretty awesome.

I guess some of the other transformation scenes are previewed in that video. I like the original OP song better but this new one is catchy too in a way.

Not too sure that many of the things show will directly appear (considering how they happen in manga), but otherwise this confirms Black Moon adaptation too, it seems.


This just makes me fearful they will omit
considering it was one of the high-points of the storyline.

Loved. It. :D Can't wait to see the Silver Millennium parts in the series, and I agree this seems to confirm Black Moon arc with the Crystal Tokyo imagery.

The CGI sequence at the end is pretty bad. I mean, the CGI on Family Guy is better (in terms of integration with the 2D sequences).

Overall, not bad. I think the song is okay, though it has a kind of popular-bland style to it that just screams generic. It's nice to see some of the angst that is sure to come though.
"You know the old saying; when life gives you lemons, go murder a clown."

"Our opponent is an alien starship packed with atomic bombs," I said. "We have a protractor."
"Okay, I'll go home and see if I can scrounge up a ruler and a piece of string."

Love the song :)

I do agree, when they walked at the end, the CGI is pretty weird and janky.

Still the transformation scenes are amazing!!! It really flows well with the animation.

Just wish they keep that style and everything would have been perfect!

I hope they make more music videos like this in future Sailor Moon songs! Like Gekkou!

I would have given it a 10 if weren't for that CGI walk scene. So i'll give it a 9/10 just for the song alone and the 2D Godly HD animation!!

Not bad. I'm still not liking the CGI that much though. Not that it's bad, but I'd just prefer 2D animation.

I'm confused. Why does a music video have an anime entry?

Plenty of animated music videos do.

OnT: That's the level of animation quality that the series should've had. I can't believe Toei are fucking up this much after a 2-year delay and with bi-weekly releases.

the animation looks pretty decent, as expected from a promotional video
if only the actual series was like this >.>

Ditto. If the entire series was CG like this I wouldn't mind. Better than poorly-hand-drawn animation.

Average CG > Badly hand-drawn (not on purpose) > Bad CG
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Meh, don't really like the song & the visuals department could be rather awkward at points (that CGI group Catwalk looked awful). 4/10.

Liked the song, art, and animation. But for some reason it was extremely boring to me, probably because it's Sailor Moon.

Yea the CGI kind of ruined it for me.

Anyways, I think the song matches well with the feel of Sailor Moon.

Pretty cool opening song. I liked everything until the big crystal appeared and everybody started walking towards the camera really weirdly. That last part really ruined the rest for me. It went on for a bit too long. Overall, it was okay.
