Bishôjo senshi Sêrâ Mûn Crystal

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 prefer the strong and mature Usagi in Crystal like in manga than the annoying usagi in the series, also this series has better drawing, love it! Bring back Sailormoon in 2020 is really exciting!

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 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.

I'm not gonna say it started as a big let down, because it wasn't at all. It was pretty good in many points: the soundtrack was "decent", the drawing trying to appeal to Naoko's originals were a nice update, also many background drawings were pretty nice. The hit also the right button by trying to keep make up sequences. The 2 things most of fans don't like and I kinda agree with them are: personalities (too weak, too little time on screen many of them) and 3D effects that didn't belong to the style. But they improved a lot going from 2nd arc (equivalent to SM R old series) to 3rd arc (INFINITY, SM S in the old series), then 3D was relegated to only exceptional cases, so make up sequences got really smooth, nice drawn, the look really really nice now, cannot complain. Sometimes the tone of the series gets dramatic, even EPIC, not gonna throw away any spoiler, but many but 2 or 3 moments surpassed old series level of execution, they passing, the personality threats, the time on screen got all better. So, to sum up I can say ARC 1 & 2 (SM SMR) were decent, while ARC3 "INFINITY" was AWESOME, better than the original in many points. Hope DREAMS gets even better.
