Bishôjo senshi Sêrâ Mûn Crystal

I couldn't get over the low quality animation and incongruous styles. The quality is inconsistent; in some episodes/scenes the visuals look decent, in others it looks amateurish, like the characters were drawn in Microsoft paint or taken from a middle schooler's how-to-draw anime sketchbook. Sailor moon is frequently drawn off-model, with her nose and mouth practically between her eyes. The proportions of the character's faces and bodies are often wonky and inconsistent; hair too big/small, limbs too thin/long, facial features too large/crowded.

The blurred shading and water-color-like backgrounds don't match the hard lines of the foreground and characters. The terrible CG transformations don't match the conventional animation.

I think this is a great remake of the original but In opinion its missing some important parts that were in the original but not in here. I love the music its amazing and in this series usagi isn't a crybaby that much lol. I love this new style and the transformations. If you don't want to watch like 400 Episodes of the original I would watch this even tho its missing some important parts its still a great option and it has 2 amazing movies.

I grew up watching the 90s sailor moon Japanese version with eng sub. Yes that series had alot of filler but it helped with character development of the side characters.

This new series has really nice graphics, the upgraded action scenes etc. The pacing is a bit too fast for me. Everything seemed so rushed. However the story is a tad bit better than the 90s since there no filler.... Another thing I feel it's missing is the in depth character development of EACH character. It doesn't have that 'umph' like the original. Nor does it have heart like the 90s one.

Personally I prefer the 90s anime better but crystal is still worth the watch.

Retconned to have more in common with the manga, more stylized and more about the magic of the world building. Trimmed the fat with the antagonist of each storyline, the whole saga fits better together and the pacing is done well. What lacks with this new remake is dialogue and side stories. There is no sister like relationship between Rei and Usagi. They don't bicker or compete for Darien's attention. The inter relationships of the sailor scouts don't matter as much as progressing the plot. I must say, Chibi Usa is a lot more tolerable than in the American cartoon. I really enjoyed this version, the more faithful adaptation and I can't wait to see what they change in cosmos.

I remember watching the original on CN's Toonami after school. Found this version on Netflix recently, and was a little confused if it was a sequel or some reboot, as it's been some 20+ years. The biggest let down I have of it so far, is it needs the original song. The characters appear much older than described too (not uncommon with anime's though). There are a lot of story problems, but that's not really the intent of the show though. It's meant to be fun and uplifting, especially for young girls.

After all the madness and politics of recent years, a cheesy nostalgic series is extremely welcoming. Usually, I'm not a fan of updating animation/film, but this one seems like it benefits from the newer technology. The heart and substance is still there. Got me binge watching anyways, and in a happy place. It's new, but feels like childhood.
