(Might have spoilers)
I didn't have the highest hopes for this, but I hadn't expected to drop it. In the first few episodes, it wasn't that bad, so I thought to myself, "It will probably get better, just keep watching." It didn't get better, in fact, it got worse. I had to force myself to continue, and at 15 out of 26 episodes, I had to stop.
The CGI transformations made it seem less magical than it should and also made them hard to watch. I found myself skipping the transformations because it was painful to see. And the animation, sigh. Fight scenes were so bland,
...
they didn't make you excited in the least. The animation was choppy and weird.
Another thing that frustrated me were the Sailor Guards themselves. Especially Sailor Moon. I get that she is just a 14 year old girl, but come on, she's so useless and annoying. She's saved by Tuxedo Mask almost every fight. She comes into the fight all strong and confident, but the instant she realizes her opponent is powerful, she freaks out and begins to cry or try to run away, which then puts herself and the other Sailor Guards in danger, and Tuxedo Mask swoops in out of nowhere to help her. She's not inspiring at all. And the other Sailor Guards, they seem strong at first but can't hold their own in a fight. Even working together they're defeated pretty easily. Isn't this show about proving girls are strong? They didn't seem very strong. Especially when fighting their "past lovers" (who were guys), they were defeated so quickly.
Another problem was the romance. It happened so fast. Maybe I'm biased because I'm a fan of slow-burn, but I still think it happened quickly. One episode Mamoru Chiba (Tuxedo Mask) thought Usagi Tsukino (Sailor Moon) was interesting, and the next he was kissing her. That doesn't seem to be the most important part of the show but it was still frustrating.
All in all, this show was annoying and bland. I hope the older Sailor Moon is better, which I will be watching next.
