Great video! I’m happy that you pointed out how much of Rei’s character was extracted from Crystal. I’ve noticed a lot of people have said that Rei in the manga never gets angry, or yells, when that is far from the truth. It’s not as extreme as it is in the 90s anime, but it is very obvious where the 90s anime got that idea of her from. I think one thing that hinders Crystal is that they don’t even bother adapting the manga side stories. There’s a side story in the manga that fleshes out why Rei doesn’t trust men and takes place sometime after Episode 5 of Crystal I believe (when Jupiter gets introduced). I think what makes Crystal so contentious in the fandom is the fact that there were so many times they could make the definitive Sailor Moon, and they just didn’t. The 90s pacing may of been slow a lot, but it was being created at the same exact time as the manga (often times even being ahead of where the manga was). These filler episodes may have been a lot, but they do a lot with showing us extra character moments. The story of the 90s anime is not that good (in my opinion), but these filler episodes are what made so many people like that version. Crystal doesn’t add extra character episodes, nor does it make a lot of changes that benefit the story (many I can think of hinder it). Crystal Season 3 and Cosmos are definitely some of the best in the series, and I wished it was like this since the beginning. I think Crystal as its own is okay, but when you think about the circumstances surrounding it, it shouldn’t have turned out to be just okay. Like I said before, you made a rlly great video here and you’ve definitely earned a new subscriber!! Excited to see more stuff ^_^
Thank you for the lovely words! And I'm so with you about the short stories! I read them for the first time last year & thought, "Damn, Crystal really should've adapted these." Such a missed opportunity!
When i first watch it i saw that usagi transformed into neo Queen and not a princess, so with my crazy theorys i guessed that she was already Queen after first season but only of the moon kingdom after it was rebuild, so she was like a Queen because queen serenity was dead and kingdom was there, bit they still called her princess cause it wasnt offical and sve wasnt of age
I started Sailor Moon with Crystal so it will always hold a special place in my heart. I really love the CG transformations. They're so grand and the art is glossy. I know it's not the best adaptation of SM, but I still somewhat enjoyed it. Despite that, I think it all gets worse after season 3. The movies are almost unwatchable since the characters are barely developed😢 I wish they were all like season 3
Yeah I don’t really mind the cgi transformations. But yeah Crystal isn’t my favorite adaptation and I much prefer 90’s and live action but I thought Cosmos was good. Mostly the second part because the first part was really fast paced for me.
Crystal is okay but the 90s just has way more charm the characters have more personality even if that means more filler episodes which I am okay with since it makes more room to show the personality of the girls and their relationship with each other even if their personalities are a bit different from the original manga oh and the music nothing beats the 90s.
Crystal follows the manga, the action is fun and Usagi and Mamoru's romance is well developped| cute BUT i have a few issues with it: - The CGI transformation. Pretty backgrounds but the 3D is a bit ugly and we saw under Usagi's skirt. It's more weird than cute. The OG transformations are fun and entertaining and the music is great. Theses ones are a bit boring to me 😐 - The relation between the scouts and the generals. It comes out of nowhere, was not developped AT ALL because the boys were attacked by queen baryl after they learn they were in love with Sailor Mars and her friends. It was rushed and didn't add a lot to the story 🤨I wonder why it's even a plot. - Usagi's voice is SO annoying in Crystal. In japanese, it's Hummy the cat from Suite precure; is too high and hurt my ears when she talks. I don't know how it is in english, i didn't watch dub yet. - The girls became friends too fast. In one episode, Usagi met one then imediately likes her. There's no scenes of them playing together or studying, eating in a park. It's so rushed ☹ - There's no fillers were the characters are doing funny things or spending time together; developping their friendship. That's dissapointing! It's not awful but i prefer the original anime.
Season 1 style was great if done properly and consistently. Same as season 3. But there were very lazy drawings throughout the 3 seasons, that i felt the entire crystal reboot should have been made into 2 part movies with 90s style.
Fun Fact: Sailor Moon's Crystal's 3rd season animation designs would later serve as the inspiration for Doki Doki Pretty Cure's international dub (Glitter Force: Doki Doki) although the original Doki Doki was released in 2013, including Star Twinkle Pretty Cure. (That's Takahashi Akira) He previously did Suite Pretty Cure too.
This was my introduction into Sailor Moon and I loved it. I have watched the 90s anime and preferred some aspects and storylines in the 90s anime, I still love Crystal more. 🥰
To be honest, Sailor Moon orginal was the first anime I watched, so it's hard for me to look at it critically, but the original Sailor Moon is a difficult series to watch because of the old animation and filler episodes (especially for those who don't have a lot of time) Even though the Crystal doesn't have the best animations - sometimes they feel a bit plastic - it's a bit better than the original, but I say this as a member of generation z. Also, I can't watch the original anymore because I can't find the original in my language (Turkish) with subtitles (between 300-500), which is quite sad because even though they are not my favorite seasons, I would still like to watch them (if I can find time from exams-_-) And finally thanks for the subtitles so I could watch the video translated into my own language. If there were no subtitles I would not have been able to watch the video. Translated with DeepL
to be fair crystal changed a few things that I think actually demaged the story, especially in the first season. Taking away all the Inner senshi`s wins in the first season, in favor of giving us senshi x shitennou romance which was HORRIBLE. I am actually really pissed at how the writers took away Venus killing Beryl, because she has ABSOLUTELY no accomplishments after this in the series, so it does hurt her characterisation, and it makes her look, and all the inner senshi look incredibly weak in comparison, which is horrible, considering they are supposed to be Sailor Moon`s protectors. In the manga, they were pretty strong, atleast in the first story arc.
Those are great points about the inner senshi! I hadn't thought about how it made them look weak, but you're right. I've been doing a re read of the manga & yeah, they come across a lot better there. Shame Crystal decided to focus on the shitennou romance nonsense instead.
@@chrissyj yeah, to be fair I didn`t had much of an issue with the rest of crystal, but this change in the first story arc ruined crystal for me and left a very soar spot. if there was something that put me off from the 90`s anime, is how non of the girls were ever allowed to win a fight without Sailor Moon`s help (except in the first 2 seasons, and Jupiter in one episode in S) but to be honest, and I wished crystal will change that, but its even worst than it was in the 90`s anime. I am glad the inners were atleast allowed to defeat the Amazon trio in eternal, but thats it, they defeated 4 minor enemy during the WHOLE show. whereas in the manga they had all the key players from the dark kingdom down, without Sailor Moon`s help, except Metalia of course whom only Sailor Moon can seal away with the silver crystal. so in the manga atleast, the inner senshi does come off as way stronger than Sailor Moon in the first story arc. then from the second story arc (after Usagi proved herself by sealing away Metalia) it is clear that due to the silver crystal`s power Usagi is waaaaay more powerful than all the other sailor. Crystal made Usagi the top sailor from the first season, which also makes her come off as a Mary Sue, when she is faaaaaaaaaaar from that in both the manga and in the 90`s anime.
I love Sailor Moon Crystal than 90's Classic because it something of a meaning quote that is the Serenity Prayer, God grand me Serenity. Accept the things you cannot change, have the courage to change the thing you can and have the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking, as you did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that you will make all things right if I surrender to your Will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with you forever in the next Amen. I also love Crystal I compare to MCU specially Cosmos to Avengers Infinity War and Endgame.

I really love this show when it first came out I know it wasn't perfect like the 90s but I find myself binged watching this the most out of the 90s
I started Sailor Moon with Crystal so it will always hold a special place in my heart.

I’m currently watching the 90s anime with the new dub and I’m enjoying it a lot. I’ve watched half the show within 12 days.

Taking away all the Inner senshi`s wins in the first season, in favor of giving us senshi x shitennou romance which was HORRIBLE.

I love sailor moon shows but why crystal change storyline like all over again 😢
I really don't like crystal, but i have to admit that the pacing is mostly the same as the manga
What are you talking about the sailor moon crystal and the manga are mostly the same thing?
