Just saw a leak of the OP and a portion of ep 1. Animation is pretty poor compared to many other series out there but I do like the overall feel of the new character design and OP. Compared to the original SM anime, the new character design and overall portrayal of the characters Crystal's OP gives them a more mature and stronger vibe, at least to me. The original SM anime felt very kiddish and more comedic from what I remember. If they really follow the manga more closely this time, then it should have a more mature and darker vibe, which I'm hoping for. I really do hope that Crystal will tone down on Usagi's klutziness and ditziness - the original anime overdid that and I personally wasn't (and still am not) too fond of it, since I think she is a much stronger character than that.
...and...OMG! Finally! We get to see what Mamoru looks like in Crystal! Oh, Mamoru, you were the first bishie I fell in love with...too bad so many hotter bishies have replaced you now but you'll always hold a special place in my heart as the first. Edit: The animation of the Sailor Soldiers' attacks do look a lot better than the original! And they also have Mamoru wear glasses just like in the manga! Although it's too bad that they didn't update Mamoru's look a little bit (from what I barely glimpsed in the OP). Edit: Comparison video of the original Sailor Moon transformation sequence to the new Crystal's transformation sequence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1xXXfvBPc0#t=113

You'd think they'd be able to work out something convenient since no TV stations are involved but guess not. |

For the transformation, you have to give it to them for wanting to try something new to set it apart from the rest of the magical girl shows like Precure. Like in the interview, they said they want to better show the flashiness during transformations and with this current technology, they're able to spin round and round! Except that it's just not animated well... I know there are ways to have it animate and constructed in 3D but have it colored and styled like 2D (an example is the Disney short film, Paper Man). I'm assuming that's what they're going for except that it's still pretty obvious that it's 3D by the way she moves and the shading. |

I have to agree, not being a big fan of Sailor Moon, nor saying i have a great knowledge of the shows, but from the transformations i've seen, this CGI does not fit it just looks a little weird. I mean there is nothing wrong with sticking to the old style of transformation, but update the graphics.

Having just seen the new transformation sequence...I have to say I'm not thrilled. Couldn't help thinking throughout that the arms just seemed really weird. For something they are going to just repeat almost weekly you think they could put a bit more quality into it. Oh well can just skip over it I guess.

That's the same for just about every Nicovideo live stream that's being archived if I remember correctly. |

Spoiler:
Although they do use "guardian" for english romanization for some reason. I have two versions: - They seriously don't know english and how drastically different those words are. Japanese themselves never really translated the title before. - They want a more safe image for those "dumb westeners" who can't handle any violence and shoot each other with the slightest opportunity. So let's say "guardian" instead of "warrior", less murican kids will stab each other. Reminds me of Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. Either way it's really stupid. Japanese text says seishi, so it's still seishi. Period. |
