Gekijoban Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon Cosmos

This movie/manga Arc is the darkest story arc of SAILOR MOON. She deals with GRIEF of losing all her loved ones while trying to prevent Galaxia from murdering everyone and taking over ....sooooooo good. Definitely a movie that will MAKE YOU CRY LOL 😆

The two part movie 🎥 was really emotional to watch. SM fans have been waiting 30 years for this manga to be authentically translated into ANIME. The wait is over and impressed with the time. Attention to details, music, art, emotion, so much time and money was dumped into these movies you can just tell. Naoko and Toei did a GREAT JOB on creating Sailor Stars aka Cosmos the movie.

The stars arc is my favorite of the manga. The movie did a great job of telling it. Usagi sorrow and overcoming it was heartbreaking and beautiful to watch. Galaxia is a scary villain and her story id interesting. Usagi and Mamoru moments are sweet and romantic !! The moments with Usagi and the girls were sweet showing there strong friendship. Usagi with her family was touching. I got the blu est and even though it was only Japanese I understood it thanks to the manga, I'm so glad I got it!!! It's part of Sailor Moon shoeing how amazing she is and how important her friends and love are to her. Definitely recommend.

I'm making a general speech because otherwise it would be an endless review, then the drawings are much much improved from Eternal much more expressive and more detailed especially in the second part of the second film. The main characters even if for a short time were well characterized, Sailor Moon in this version is very determined and not fussy like in the anime of the 90s this is one thing that I have always preferred from this whole remake also Crystal, the background songs are perfect and perfectly describe the feelings that Usagi feels in the various scenes, my favorite soundtrack is definitely the one during the battle against her friends in the second film. The Finale made me cry a lot because in addition to representing a moment of joy at the same time it puts us in front of a worthy end for the remake series of Sailor Moon.

Now that Cosmos movie is on Netflix, for those who have been a fan for over 20 years, you should really not miss it.

I gotta say compared to Eternal Movies, Cosmos has better animation (particularly the last part of both films visually, intensity, and pacing are all cenematic worthy) and more compelling plots.

Critics: I do find that being 100% faithful adaptation left some parts of the movie less coherent to the stories. Given the limitted screentime, I which they could have skipped and expanded more on some of the parts to make the pacing of both films better.

As the Anime industry has been improving significantly both in production, contents, and viewership, I think it would have benefitted the new audience if they move away from stock footage of transformations and really focused on the cohesive story telling.

That being said, personally, this has a better ending compared to the 90's anime. It's beautifully done and I think the audience can feel invested in the finale. The backgrounds are stunning throughout the entire time for both films. There are many shots that really stand out not only among the Crystal franchise but the entire Sailor Moon Franchise.

Finally, Galaxia really is the star of the show. She has beautiful designs, backstory, lines. If you are a fan, you cannot miss this.

It seems that the creators learned from the mistakes of the past and corrected them.

Because although the Eternal movie did not work as a Movie format, Cosmos has now refuted this.

The scenes are very well put together, there are no unnecessary parts. The character traits of the characters are well developed, because everyone is lovable and you can identify with each character to some extent.

As for the animation, it is even more sophisticated and detailed.

The background music also fits the scenes nicely, so you don't have that unpleasant feeling.

The Star Arc is perhaps the darkest of them all, so the expectations are high, but I think they finally managed to realize this story and wrap it up in a decent way.

Well done!!!
