Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Cosmos: O Filme

The anime reboot of Sailor Moon starting with Crystal became very hit or miss. The first nine episodes of Crystal are as good as they possibly can be, but then it becomes a meaningless exposition dump. Something very similar happens in Cosmos, where the first part largely is ok where we get to spend time with the sailor senshi that fans know and love. But then they are replaced with endless and extremely tedious exposition of new characters, places and events. Part of me wonders if this might be a cultural thing, or at least an anime convention. But coming at it from a western perspective, you should never use exposition in the later parts of a movie. It will remove all agency and suspense, at this point the viewer should have all the information, and we should just be able to follow the events unfolding.

I always thought the Sailor Starlights were weak and their outfits look awful. It's so strange that them changing gender when transforming is not brought up at all. Is it some kind of censorship? I though Eternal was great, and that arc isn't *that* much better than the final one, so a let down that Cosmos was unable to hit the mark. The animation in Cosmos is great, but even Sailor Moon needs more than that.

Old school, 1992 fan here when it aired every Saturday at 7pm on TV Asahi. Purchased and collected Nakayoshi every month and obsessively collected Carddass trading cards. I've always loved that my childhood heroine remake is being portrayed to the true to the manga arc. HOWEVER, I gave this 9 stars, not a biased, typical 10 because part one really should've been broken into episodes rather than one, fact-paced movie. Part 2 was great. Give it a try, especially if Sailor Moon was your hero growing up just like me. To my fellow Sailor Moon fans from 90s Japan,the theme songs to both parts will bring tears to your eyes.

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.

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.

Sailor moon definitely shines imax with this new installment amazingly well beautiful incredible and it's greatly appreciated and improved by anyone who's ever known about sailor moon the fourth sequel that lives to its predecessor after since Two other anime with their movies in imax like Evangelion detective Conan Akira ghost in the shell dragon ball z and even Pokémon 3 the movie now sailor moon gets to be part of other anime movies in imax theaters for anyone to experience anime like no one has ever seen before it deserves a cake it is a joy for both kids and adults who have known sailor moon.
