    I just started the show, crystal, I actually appreciate that they SOUND like teen girls. I love dic dubb from our childhood, but come on, yes the actors did a fantastic job, but they didn't sound like kids, teen girls.. They sounded like they were 19-25?... I understand the squeaky voice is annoying, but it is important and helpful to distinguish of what characters are kids, and which ones are adults, it also makes it easier for the kids watching the show to relate to the characters if they sound similar to there age, with the 90's dub they sounded like mentors, aunts, big sisters for kids watching the show. I personally want to take my time watching crystal, but I'm praying that I'll come to love BOTH versions of Sailor Moon. Also, it's GOOD Sailor Moon got rebooted, so kids from the new generation can discover her! The art style of Crystal, it's not that bad... They actually look like teen girls, the art style in the 90's made them appear much more mature than their actual age. Just look at a side by side of 90s Sailor Moon and Crystal Serena.. The transformation song, for crystal I actually enjoy. I think Crystal is basically... You'll either love it or hate it.

    this videos doesnt do a good job of explaining what went wrong with sailor moon crystal at all. also fans do want new. the only problem i have with the old sailor moon, is it kept recycling the same plot over and over and over again. also the new transformation in crystal is cool. more colorful and visual stunning. so not sure why u have a problem with those. i do agree with u on the body shape. they r strange. their tiny faces, with big heads and hair r strange.

    Look making an animation is really difficult and takes many hours/days to make it so it is natural that many designs during the episode won't be made good--on the other hand I think we can't compare SMCrystalwith the old version because they aretotaly different:style/evolution if we want to compare SMC let's compare it with the manga version of the anime.Anyway both the 90's SM and SMC has their own beauty becuse they have something unique (I can't explain why because I can't really tell which is better).Moreover the designs you show ae concep arts that means they are just for showing the character's design only (same the manga).The only things I don't like in SMC is that Usagi shines the most and I don't really like it. :) :)

    I actually enjoy Crystal for following the manga more closely. As you said about the animation, I seriously agree. While there are moments with the animation that I like (especially for knowing it is following the creator's art style,) there are other moments where it did not feel the same. There are two gripes that I have: for for a series that follows the manga more closely, they should have had all the senshi in their book accurate attire. Sailor Mercury looks so much cooler without sleeves and Sailor Venus with her Love Me Chin, but why doesn't Sailor Mars not have her locket, nor Sailor Jupiter have her belt with potpourri? The other gripe is that when I first learned of the series, I felt it was marketed as a reboot, showing moments nearly scene for scene to the original anime. While I am not speaking of scenes from the general plot, I am referring to transformations and attacks. Perhaps it is me desiring something to distinguish it some more, seeing it feel like a reskin of the old gave me a bad first impression, until I watched the first two episodes, and brought me to want to research and read the manga. The show went from something I watched with my niece to a character I genuinely like. Considering this comment is nearly six years after this video, I feel some elements were improved with the Infinity Arc, but sadly no Dream nor Stars.

    What I liked about crystal: The music. It's amazing and very well done. The art style. I'm not talking about the animation here. People are hating on the art style because it's too different from the original anime, but I think that's the whole point. The characters are beautifully drawn. They look elegant and sleek. Yes, the proportions are not realistic, but this is anime we're talking about. And for all those whining about how thin they are, they were just as thin in the later seasons of the 90s anime. I don't hear you complain about that art style. The transformations. Apart from the CGI, the transformation sequences were extremely well done. The choreography was beautiful, fluid and powerful. It would have looked better if it was all hand drawn instead of using CGI. But I much prefer these transformations instead of the new ones in crystal season 3. If you ignore he CGI and focus on the choreography, you'll realize that the transformations are very good. I particularly like Venus' henshin. It's so good that I don't even mind the CGI in that one. What I don't like: The characters are two dimensional stick figures without any substance. They're soul-less and, if it wasn't for the 90s anime, I wouldn't have cared one bit about any of them. The filler episodes, in the original anime, made it possible for these characters to be fleshed out. To me they were real people dealing with real life problems on top of having to save the world. In the new anime, they just appear alongside sailor moon, and, more often then not, are completely useless. The animation. It started out really well in the first episode. The animation was detailed and fluid. I think the opening sequence of Usagi's dream, with princess serenity running towards Endymion, was one of the few well-animated scenes in the entire two season. Unfortunately it kept going from bad to worse.

    As a sailor moon fan I can say that Sailor moon Crystal is mediocre. Catchy theme song but a terrible adaptation. To those that believe it's good re watch the old one and you'll see what I mean. Like trust me Sailor moon crystal maybe good for modern people but as someone who had watched anime at 12. I hated smc the animation is 👎👎👎 the plot 👎👎👎 Usagi is just a bitch. She just cares about Mamoru not luna or her friends. That's why I hate smc tbh there is no comedy. It's like watching something that was just badly done. I've seen better sailor moon things. But smc is rubbish. Like the fans always defend Crystal cause apparently "It's new and don't deserved to be bashed." Well Now I think sailor moon crystal ruined the entire franchise. The live action was always bashed for cheesy effects but smc is just using those same cgi as winx club which is piss taking. Then they are skinny like fucking sticks. From my overall view the best adaptations are the live action and the original anime. Sailor moon crystal is a fuck up of an adaptation just accept it!!! 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

    The lack of moonlight densetsue as the op really bothered me. Not only is that song iconic to the original anime, it is sailor moon in all aspects (except the DiC translation, that sucks) the music in crystal want memorable at all. I miss the awesome bass line when the bad guys show up, or the transformation songs

    • @Kfowlkes09
      @Kfowlkes09 6 років тому

      It's a closer adaption to the manga than the classic anime, but it's not animated panel by panel. If it had been animated panel by panel then the only gripe I would have had would have been the lackluster animation.

    • @Kfowlkes09
      @Kfowlkes09 6 років тому

      +Mistress Shine. The Beryl scene in Crystal was garbage. I nearly dropped the series because of that. With Mistress 9, I was happy just to see her Daimon form at all, since the classic anime deprived us of that.

    Low budget animation. Being limited to a 13 episode a season format. Unnecessary changes to the script that went nowhere. Lots not to like about Crystal, even if Infinity was a massive improvement.

  • @xgray2012
    @xgray2012 6 років тому

    Also, I may have to disagree with you about "not wanting new things!" I actually kind of like to see a more beautiful, yet well-done, but modernized version of Sailor Moon. Only if it does the manga series absolute justice. It doesn't have to be perfect. But, it can still be at least enjoyable to watch, regardless of its' many flaws.

  • @xgray2012
    @xgray2012 6 років тому

    Yeah, well that was like four years ago. Nowadays, with a new director and a new writing staff and with people pretty much saying that they actually enjoyed watching season three of Sailor Moon Crystal. You can't possibly find any more flaws with the new Sailor Moon series still going on. Especially with the next installment of SMC coming out, this year. But, only time will tell. Plus, the Blu-Ray version of SMC actually corrected some of the animation errors in season one and two. But, not by much.

    Following the original story frm manga is ok but they shud hve done a bettr animation or cgi, we'r in a modern world now & evrything is hi-tech & there's some mgical girls anime nowadays that nailed it so we xpect more of this reboot, the trailer is awesome & i really expect that's the kind of animation their gonna show us but its kinda disappointing, & fyi they skip some of the details so why mke a reboot f they didn't follow exactly what's on d manga, might as well did the same old anime series but in a cool & awesome animation & that will satisfy us all

  • @lizzieleon3246
    @lizzieleon3246 7 років тому

    Weird because I think the 90s anime is boring and doesn't do Naokos work justice. But I guess it's a matter of opinion. The old animation also puts me to sleep and it's just old. I like Crystal better. Just personal preference though.

    Us 2000's kids might not hve been able to watch the old version so seeing crystal might have been cool an to me it is. Because we have nothing to compare it to so people who have watched might be putting a bit nastolgia in their opinions when we modern day kids want to watch a modern rebooted anime. What's wrong with that???

  • @chaerice9044

    I actually really like crystal and really want it to continue and if people will just whine then why the hell are you watching and go watch your original if you hate it so much some people actually enjoy crystal and if you people will just bring it down how will we who like enjoy it??? Jeez what if some people didn't like your favourite amines and it just stopped because of all the hate?? What's with all the negativity why can't we just watch an anime and be grateful for it and think about the creators having I deal with this hate.
