Halloween wouldn’t’ve been complete without this scare.

It’s weird they decided to milk nostalgia now by using Moonlight Densetsu in the opening. Again, I ask why did the 20th anniversary project turn into the 30th anniversary project, with the constant delays and gaps?? It's beyond embarassing.

It’s weird Haruka and Michiru have this much screen time. However it’s left unexplained why Haruka accepts to wear a girl’s school uniform. And whether Seiya and the rest become men when they’re in Earthling disguise. Apparently they do, like in the classic – I thought the point was to adapt the manga to a T, without copying the classic. And ... yet, they copy the transformations, attacks and even the art from the classic. Plus, the writers still hate on Rei extremely much, she’s barely in any of these Crystal versions.

Why is Usagi holding those cats like a savage???? Of all the bad ways I’ve seen her, Minako and the others hold them, this has got to be worst. And to top it all, Luna, Artemis and Diana are also injured at this point. Literally wtf.

Honestly, this arc is not its job if Chibiusa doesn't get thrown down an ever climbing platform with Usagi jumping after her.

And why th are adult vision-Chibiusa's curles behind her ear yellow instead of pink? Since it's her hair.

This whole Crystal business relies way too much on side art, which isn't canon elements developed in the manga, instead of the heart of the story. I wanted to see a far more connected story. The screenwriters continue to overlove Minako and underlove Rei as they have done throughout all of Crystal. I have no hope for Cosmos.

Not to mention all that listing off of names is ... so cringe... Mercury...... Mars...... Jupiter...... Venus...... Uranus...... Neptune...... Pluto...... Saturn...... Ceres...... Pallas...... Juno...... Vesta..... Pegasasu...... Eriosuuu......

Did anyone else notice the Yuuichirou reference in Rei's part of the movie?

Other than that, WHY TF did Luna's eyes get changed from red to blue? How does Diana get her red eyes in this new continuity?

Why did this 20th anniversary project turn into the 30th anniversary project? Why could we get 200 continuous episodes with solid visuals and plot in 5 year's time in the 90's, but it took 10 years to release the equivalent runtime of 55 episodes the 2020's? So in double the time, we got 1/4 of the quantity. That's a 1/8 of the initial speed, on average. On top of ... that, there's no excuse for the shit visuals and music with the advancements in technology. There's no excuse for the awful screenplay with how big this IP is and has been for 30 YEARS. And, with how much team Crystal shat on the classic, why THE HELL is Crystal copy pasting everything it can from the classic? All the poses, the transformation sequences frame by frame, even the anatomy of the characters! I thought "it'S lwoYaL to ThE mwAngWa"...

And why did Netflix enter the mix for the cash grab? It's so disgusting.

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.

It's bad, boring, legitmately overhyped. I felt the same way 10 years ago as I do now, so it's a constant, not a matter of taste or age. I gave it way more chances than it was worth - same hot garbage in 2024 as it was in 2014.

The author is far too preocupied by the 4 komas format instead of conveying any sort of coeherence. The story begins suddenly and everything just... happens. There are no intentions, no inner thoughts, no elegance. Very boring honestly.

Waste of a cute af girl design and worst of all, waste of my time.

2/10 because it's not quite the ... grossest/worst executed thing out there. But its score definitely deserves to be taken down a few notches.
