This.

I honestly think this is better than Sailor Moon S, and I think Sailor Moon S was a 10/10 season and probably my favourite of the originals. I wish I could give this 11/10 (also loved that they closed it on the first ending theme of this season, seeing as that ending theme was one of the top 3 best ending themes ever tacked on to the end of an episode of Sailor Moon, old or new, and def the best of Crystal so far).

Good series!! The animation was vastly improved!!! I didn't think the animation was too bad in the first season, but man did they improve it tremendously. Overall I still enjoyed it about the same as the previous season so I'm giving it the same rating.

7/10

Much better than the last 2 seasons and if they make a season 4 I'm not looking forward to it, because I HATED Super S.

The manga version that SuperS adapted poorly is actually REALLY good, far superior, I'm sure it'll be better.

This season, whilst it is flawed and I don't think it's as great as S, it definitely is a step forward in the right direction.

I've looked forward to season 4 yet!
with that big cliffhanger ending i sure there will be season 4


They'd better adapt the Dream Arc 'cause that was an awesome cliffhanger. When I saw that eclipse I was like "Ah yeah. The next arc." I just hope the Outer Guardians appeared in the original manga's version of said arc, 'cause honestly, the 90's version lost its balls (to me) in their absence til Sailor Stars. Don't get me wrong, it still had some fun moments, but it kinda lost its edge and badassery w/o the Outers.

Sailor Saturn plan was for her to sacrifice herself so that she could save the planet earth.
Super Sailor Moon tranced into Neo Queen Serenity (Messiah per Mamoru) and used a goldlike power to restore the collateral damaged surroundings and blgds.
Sailor Saturn reincarnated to a baby is also a good sign.
For sure something will happened on the Solar Eclipse scene and a cliffhanger!
Waiting for S4 (vol.7)
5/5.
8/10 - because of the great OST they used...

You know, this was such an improvement from the first season(s); everything came off as a lot less stiff and more engaging-- at first at least. Near the last episodes though, we didn't really have a chance to breathe; it was always something after something. Sometimes it's really just best to stop and let your audience take in what's going on. Allowing your characters to relax and derp around sometimes can really help (as long as it isn't randomly different in tone from the rest of the anime). The derping around moments in this season are kinda more like, "Guys something's going on. Doesn't this thing related to what might be going on seem soooo coool?!?! Oh okay, something's going on." It's hard with the limits you have in your animation budget to allow everything to pause and let it steadily build up, for sure, but when it's not there, you do notice. Sometimes it's like you can't win, and that sucks for sure. Still, it was such an improvement that I can't help but not even want to "complain", but ya gotta. Now I kinda see how my boss feels; they see you're improving but you still have to point out those flaws.
Even the OP and ED's were better, dang. Only song I didn't care too much for was Tuxedo Kamen's ED.

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria

Don't know about the original series or the manga, but compared to the first two seasons this was a major improvement which I'm really glad I have watched!

It started out real good, but they couldn't improve mangaka's terrible writing I guess. The main villain was so boring and unimaginative, ugh... I couldn't bring myself to watch a few last episodes.
Another thing is that this series felt a bit too short. I know it followed original material closely, sure, but I'd prefer to have a few "filler" episodes, to develop characters and their bonds (like Hotaru's and Chibiusa's friendship or Haruka's and Michiru's love). In that area first SM anime wins imo.

Well, at least 2/3 of the series were pretty good and enjoyable, had a few laughs, loved the adorable artstyle and chara-designs. Music wasn't the best but a little bit better. Opening, especially Etsuko's version was amazing, one of my new favourite SM songs. Endings were also not that bad, even that Chibiusa's song, I came to like it after a while. Eternal Eternity is especially good, reminds me of j-pop from the 90'.

I'm glad I got to watch this series, and see new Haruka and Michiru. But I'm also angry that first season didn't look like that :( Now I can only pray that they will also adapt the next arc the same way, after the last scene my hopes are really high.

At least they used the good ED again.

I watched and finished for one reason: Sailor Saturn
Everything else was just laughably pathetic.
Characterization: awful
Pacing: awful
Buildup: awful
Ok, I guess the soundtrack was decent.

The end had some charm because we actually got to see the girls' personalities. This is exactly why this version feels so empty compared to classic.

3/10, and that's being generous because I actually finished it, which I only did because I'm a fan of classic.

I wonder if Takeuchi was happy with how this season turned out ._. ...
i wonder what her thoughts was about the previous two...

and here's me hoping for a 4th season with Fish-eyes and Helios/Pegasus ^.^-!!!
-...i haven't read the manga so i don't know if my favorite gay guy is canon or not T_T'

and here's even more hoping it won't be kinda-of-awful as the first two seasons of crystal ^.^-!

time to continue sindbad or precure~....
I like to comment Episodes as i Watch them.

No battle between the Sailor Scouts unlike in S, but it's all good. I'm glad with how everything worked out, especially with Saturn being reborn! Hooray for a happy ending!...until that crazy circus comes...

Very happy with how this remake turned out! Much better than the 1st Crystal, and maybe even better than S (and S was already awesome)! Easy 9 or 10

Pretty cool that they added Sailor Saturn in the opening, standing alongside the other Sailor Guardians.

I was very skeptical at first but I can say with confidence that this season completely shitted on the previous one in every way possible. Better art/animation, better music, the characters have personalities now, Chibiusa is finally likable etc...My only gripe that it still suffers from the same issues (villain of the week, the pacing etc..) but that's mostly comes from the manga, so there's not much you can do about that. Overall cheers to the director for salvaging what would had been a trainwreck in the long run.

Shit, I might even raised the score for the previous seaosn since I loved this so much lol.
Bring on season 4!

This might be the most brutal cliffhanger ending I have ever seen in anime. It really is a marvel. Fortunately enough time has passed that it's fairly easy to finish the story in movie form.

This is a 7/10 anime for me. The Naruto music was nice, but I wish they did something else. I skipped the OP, the first ED, and all the transformations sequences because they were so disappointing to me. It's a strange situation I find myself in, where I prefer a perversion of the original source material over the manga faithful adaption.

I'm not even using nostalgia here because I watched Sailor Moon S and this anime back to back.

There were some things I appreciated about this adaption. The no nonsense killing was much appreciated, along with the Senshi and the Deathbusters being competent. Most of the story made a tiny bit more sense and I liked the second ED more than Tuxedo Mirage. I liked it even without the OST worming the ED into my brain with musical remixes like the OG Sailor Moon S. The Usagi burns in episode 13 were also pretty great. Possibly better insults than I've seen in any other Sailor Moon property.

In the end this anime was nice. But Sailor Moon S was cool and I like cool a lot more than nice. It's a shame the mangaka couldn't have her manga done justice even after all this time. But this was an ok attempt I guess.
