It's starting.

Watching now.

The Op song has been slightly re-arranged sonically, with new singer (Galaxia's VA)

As someone who only saw the old 90's version on Toonami and never read the manga, Crystal has been fun. Feels like I'm finally getting the proper Sailor Moon experience.

Neptune and Uranus henshins are carbon copies...

What is this new ED!!! give me the old one back!

Overall tho it was really enjoyable. Action was short but nice, Space Sword Blaster was amazing.

Wow, the new OP is much better than the first. No one's uploaded the new ED yet.

>>140990173
They have to cut corners somewhere. I'm guessing that the new OP and ED so early in is just an effort to show that there's money to be made. Fuck Toei and their terrible management.

I wonder if HS going to be late since it seems CR simulcast is 5 minutes late today for some reason.

>>140990786
The way Naoko intended.™

Better than the first season of Crystal. How Crystal S3 stacks up to the 90's anime is entirely subjective. PGSM and SeraMyu trumps them all anyway.

>>140990582
Pluto/setsuna looks cute.

Without the lipstick, she looks much younger.

Just finished this episode
Fucking loved the new singer for the OP
Ami being a badass
and finally some transformations
Ending is a bit too cheerful, considering this arc. Hopefully it'll change soon. But damn, that was great.

I get why they made Uranus and Neptune's planets look fucking huge in their speech but it still looks weird. You'd think they would have done the same for Jupiter though.

>>140990582
Best woman.

>>140990173
Both are remake of transformation on the 90's version.

>>140991824
Yeah we know.
I'm fine with that, but I guess people wanted to see new transformations after 25 years that weren't just the 90s transformations in a new animation style

>>140991689
>Ami being a badass

She nearly went super spy on us

>>140991994
Well except Moon and Chibi-Moon, other inner senshis transformation is also a carbon copies of classic anime.

Neptune still getting cucked?

More like demake. The CG ones at least had some effort put into them. This is beyond lazy.

>>140993062
I think they would be a lot better with the 90's henshin track to accompany them. Just try playing it over the transformation/speech/attack speeches. It makes everything feel a lot more exciting.

I don't get why they decided to use shit BGM when there was a rockier more exciting BGM that was played when Sailor Neptune was deafening the senshi earlier in the episode...

>>140993263
The BGM sucked ass. Where are my violins?

I need 2 more episode to finish the previous season. What should I be prepared for when I start this one?

>>140993483
actual good pacing, characterization, and decent animation.
But nah seriously, you're pretty much prepared once you finish those last 2 episodes

>>140993610
>decent animation
From Toei? This isn't Precure though.

>>140993483
A massive improvement in just about everything. Seriously. S3 retroactively makes Crystal look like even more of a colossal fuck up.

>>140983490
>duet between Chibi Usa and Mamoru

pls no

>>140993689
Really? Because I felt many times in Crystal that it's just scenes one after the another without anything connecting them.
Is that fixed?

>>140993741
it's just chibiusa. mamoru is a seperate ending on its own which is coming next month.

I just feel like the new ending doesn't fit this season, at all. The old was was fine as..

Toei gotta sell dem CD's tho I guess...

>>140993817
I hate both of them, so it makes no difference for me.

>>140993632
some of the precure staff worked on this season, so we have a bit of that precure budget to help

>>140994021
Ohhhh nice.

>>140993803
Yes. That's what happens when you do basically a 1:1 adaptation. There's some small changes that make a world of a difference. One thing I noticed is that in the manga, all of the Inner Senshi have a dream about the talismans but they don't talk about it among themselves because Naoko. In the anime, Usagi runs into the other girls talking about it in the arcade and she brings up the dream herself.

It seems quite minor but things like that add a lot of flow and relevancy to those small scenes and that's what the first season didn't bother doing.

>>140994021
Maybe some of it has to do with the budget, but most is to do with them having literally no animators available at the time due to them leaving it to the very last minute. I would love to know why Crystal's scheduling was so fucking rushed when it was delayed SEVERAL times.. literally no excuses. I do hope Dream and Stars gets the same level of love..

>>140994231
I think part of it is also that the source material got better. Naoko's writing will never be great, but even the manga became a better/more exciting read from season 3-on wards after she let the Usagi//Mamoru MIrakuru Romansu take a backseat. Havign said that, they were kind of cute/behaved like an actual couple this episode, which was nice.

>>140994555
>the source material got better
You're so right on that. I was worried that because Crystal was so unpopular that they wouldn't go on to adapt the rest of the series. Toei still deciding to do it AND bringing on new staff is the best thing that could happen desu.

And the first two arcs are quite easily the weakest arcs. The problem with Crystal is that they didn't try to build on the good ideas that Naoko had like the other adaptions do. Crystal showcased the barebones and worst aspects of Sailor Moon.

>>140994858
>>140994909
King Records is main producer so they probably want as many songs as they can get from this. I think the ED will change again before the season finale.

I hope they make it as much like the manga as possible. I don't want a repeat of the Shitennou from the first season.

>>140995192
It was obvious they were going to die at some point but I didn't think that they'd fuck it up so badly by killing them the way they did and then having the Senshi all forget about them.

All I really want from the Witches 5 and Sailor Animamates is a cool showdown like when the Senshi fought the Ayakashi Sisters in the 90s anime.

Uranus and Neptune were better characterized in the old anime. The manga is so shallow in this department.

>>140999301
Crystal makes a somewhat decent job capturing Haruka's loneliness in her interaction with Usagi, but Michiru gets the short end of the stick, unfortunately.

Yes obviously some girls do, but those are different from what's happening in the scenes with the two. You need to read in between the lines and read the mood and tone of the scene because if they wanted to portray it as "girls being girls" then it would have been pretty obvious.

Otherwise there's always room for doubt, especially with the lack of attention their supposed "relationship" got in the story itself. Really, Haruka shows a lot more emotions towards Usagi.

Next you'll say it's still plausible deniablity unless Takeuchi herself rings at your doorbell and directly tells you in broken english that Haruka and Michiru were indeed rubbing their tacos against each other at least twice a day.

I think there's plausible deniability unless they're actually shown having a relationship (see Usagi and Mamoru).

>>141006353
well yeah, Takeuchi wasn't the best writer.
Ikuhara's depiction is what we all saw as their definitive relationship, but they definitely had a romance between each other in the manga regardless.

>>141006353
It was clear to her JAPANESE audience; you know, the people for whom it was actually written for, and who have a clue about subtlety and reading between the lines.

>>141006353
Cut her some slack, she was basically a yuri pioneer. Especially back in the days you needed balls of steel to depict two girls having a romantic relationship, let alone in a mainstream work aimed at little girls.

>>141006546
I'm not accusing her but c'mon she made Haruka kiss Usagi, so it's not like she couldn't if she wanted.

>>141006368
Basically: "Is Michiru a cuck?"

>>141006539
>It was clear to her JAPANESE audience; you know, the people for whom it was actually written for, and who have a clue about subtlety and reading between the lines.
The Japanese audience was as influenced by the anime as you are. That's why it was "clear" they were dating, even though their relationship is nowhere to be seen in the manga.

>>141006644
I guess you could interpret the kiss as simple fuel for some cheap Usagi-Mamoru relationship drama, and it was never intended as a serious threat. Haruka and Michiru instead were the real deal, the ones who actually were in a girl-girl relationship, therefore it was more subtle.

I can't believe people are still arguing whether Uranus and Neptune were an actual thing in 2016. It's been 20 years guys.
Next thing you know, people will be arguing if Homura and Madoka were gay for each other.

These two were fucking and you know it.

>>141004532
It's official.

It was from final arc in manga (Galaxia arc) when Haruka and Michiru transferred to Juban High School.

>>141007014
That interpretation has no basis though. Haruka wouldn't mess up Usagi's relation with Mamoru deliberately, and her "girl-girl" relationship with Michiru doesn't have any development.

>>141007121
Apparently the new anime Crystal S3 have raised the doubt because most peoples only followed the 90's anime and haven't read the manga.

>>141007121
Going by the manga, I would compare Homura's feeling for Madoka with Haruka's feelings for Usagi. Haruka's relationship with Michiru is mostly an anime thing.

>>141007121
Looks like it's someone who can't either accept the fact that Michiru was nearly cucked(if they weren't in a relationship, the cheating never happened) or some rabid Haruka-Usagi shipper.

>Next thing you know, people will be arguing if Homura and Madoka were gay for each other.

People already do that for Madoka and many other "unstated" couples, like Nanofate. We're protected from the anti-yuri fags in these threads because SM is really one of the only cases where they have no way to deny it. But they're out there, ceaselessly hating and attacking yuri and its fans where ever they can.

>>141007280
Probably because there's nothing in the manga.

>>141007359
Never said I didn't think Michiru was a cuck, because she is. Same with Mamoru.

I'm saying that it's obvious that they had a relationship, even though it's pretty badly written in the original anime.

And the "cheating" happened because Haruka is flirty by nature. It's a character trait of hers.

>>141008172
>I'm saying that it's obvious that they had a relationship
Then I wasn't referring to you, but to the anon who insists that they weren't in a relationship in the manga or Crystal.

>>141008172
>And the "cheating" happened because Haruka is flirty by nature. It's a character trait of hers.
What she feels for Usagi looks a little more serious than just flirty nature.

>>141008318
That would be me. And yeah, I don't think it's clear they're in a relationship. If Takeuchi says they are, so be it. But it doesn't show in the story.

>>141008534
I don't think it's clear either. Most of my knowledge about this comes from the old anime, if I were to only read the manga and watch Crystal I'd think Haruka was just trying to get into Usagi's pants. I wouldn't even consider Michiru a cuck because it doesn't seem they're in a relationship (ignoring quotes and the anime original content).

Michiru wants to fuck Mamoru. Maybe their end goal is a foursome with Mamoru and Usagi. What's with the uproar?

It's most likely because Takeuchi didn't want their characters to just be about their relationship? Or she's just a bad writer. Who knows.

>>141008379
Nah, I don't see anything too serious about it, sorry. Uranus and Neptune have always been extremely playful. Remember that one scene in Stars where Michiru flirted with Seiya and asked him/her to take her dress off for her? What i'm seeing in crystal right now is basically that.

>>141008663
Maybe. I didn't read the manga. I'm hoping this shit will blow over soon. I never enjoyed the Haruka/Usagi love triangle thing that was in the manga.

That was obvious flirting. But Haruka isn't just flirting with Usagi. She's actually showing her emotions to her. Things go deeper there.

I think this picture sums up how I feel about the people arguing in this thread.

They're a couple whether you like it or not. This has already been established 20+ years ago, and there's nothing we can do about it

>>141008710
>Nah, I don't see anything too serious about it, sorry. Uranus and Neptune have always been extremely playful.
While I don't see it as completely playful, I don't think it's romantic either. I always felt all the senshi have always had this kind of longing for Usagi, as she is the princess they are fated to protect and is for them a symbol of hope, but the outer senshi being always stationed far away makes their feelings feel more melancholic as they're always supposed to be fighting alone. Would compare it to Pluto an ChibiUsa but Haruka's flirty nature does make it kinda lewd.

Yeah, I saw Usagi crying about Haruka's loneliness or something this episode.
What I see Haruka doing to her isn't romantic in my opinion. Just more of finding a way to connect with the Princess, even if it's a very unconventional way of doing so.

Let's not be dumb now.

>>141010196
That's because everyone and their mother was used to Haruka and Michiru being a couple since the 90s version wasn't ambiguous at all.

If a person only read the SM manga and watched Crystal, they wouldn't think anything. Not even that Michiru is a cuck.

Dat proud parent expression.

Did the classic anime ever show Usagi being aware that she is Chibiusa's mother and treat her like a daughter ? As far as I remember Usagi mostly treat Chibiusa like (obnoxious) little sister to her.

>>141011851
They are almost the same. You are being tricked by the shadow on male Haruka's face

>>141037576
look @ the necks

>>141037479
I haven't rewatched the entirety of the anime in a while but I don't remember Usagi being "motherly" at all.

Something something Japanese procreation propaganda.

I'm sorry, what?

That's the composer's fault. He's great if you haven't heard his other work. If you have, it arr song same

Anon prefers him to Mamoru.

I want Haruka to eat out my pussy.

>>141038566
Prince Demande knows how to go after what he wants, and keep them for himself. Mamoru is a fuck boi that gets cucked by his wife everday.

>>141040724
No way, she is Sailor Uranus.

Episodic daemon in 90s series actually kinda fun for me.

>>141040854
good god I hope. I want her to ravish me

>>141036065
They probably tried for a manga look, it didn't go well. Animation is certainly an improvement compared to the earlier seasons.

>>141040884
And then I went on to say she. I-I thought it'd be funny...

Yeah, I feel it could've looked great if they put in the effort to animate the manga's style, but I can see how that'd be tough to put into full animation.
Though some of the errors were unexcusable..

There's a reason why the art was simplified in the 90's anime.

i wasn't feeling that scene in your pic related though, only the one I posted.

In that cloud fight scene, I couldn't stop thinking about all the fanbois that would be gushing about how "the humor was back in Sailor Moon". That particular scene was wacky, but to me it felt relatively low energy. I dunno if it was the way the audio was mixed, it seemed kinda quiet and less boisterous than the original anime, but I just wasn't feeling it.

That scene that I posted though. I forgot all about Sailor Moon Crystal. I was just watching Sailor Moon again. It was a magical few seconds.

The Tarazakura actress who does Haruka in the new Sera Myu is less PD than more 3D.
