The ways it could had been good:
1)Lose the live action aspect. have it be fully animated only.
2)Having diversity is okay, but I would had rather that they stuck closer to the oringal designs… for diversity have the outer be brought in earlier than they did in the anime. Then
We could have this–Pluto would be obviously be black, Neptune a French-European type, Saturn a Chinese girl, Uranus… (???). Rei is very obviously Japanese too.. .so there’s that.
But how to have that and still stick to the oringal look? Well, we could do it like they did for the Japanese live action… have everyone look their normal ethnicity in untransformed forms but then transform into the oringal designs.
3)Lose the sailboats. We already have the space navy analogy with the ships in space…. so I don’t think anybody is going to be confused over why they’re called Sailor Warriors when they have a Sailor uniform and belong to a space navy of sorts. Although I also like the idea of “Princess Warriors” too.
4)Instead of Queen Beryl being a Sailor Galaxia wannabe, why not have the story kind of remain true to the source material? Instead of Beryl swooping down on the moon kingdom and killing them outright at first and forcing the Moon Queen to do a reset…. we instead focus on what life’s like in the silver millennium. with Beryl wanting to conquer all the planets. Or just killing off all the Colony planets outright if she doesn’t get her way. the story would be a epic war story, with every episode focusing heavily on what life on those planets were like for our planetary princesses (and prince). Heck, if it was done right it could end up being like a canon per-sequel version to the anime itself. The end of the series could end with people celebrating on the moon, thinking that they won against Beryl in a long brutal war that finally ended…. only for Beryl to make a surprise appearance, killing everyone off. Just when the viewers thought this was the most downer ending ever, The Queen Serenity uses her silver crystal to do a reset, causing everyone to be born into the present day.

Which of course would then lead into the oringal Japanese anime, Sailor Moon.

Come on, that could had been so interesting! But of course those people didn’t do it right, and turned this into an total farce.

In the end you really can’t say the video is “original” since nobody has gone behind the same shaky hand-cam footage we have today. It’s just one of those things that may never be found in it’s original form unless someone who was involved in the projection bothers to come out with it somehow. The footage embedded here came from a different camera at the convention and I enjoyed this more despite the darker lighting simply for having been shot on a tripod and the audience chatter is a bit more muted, but obviously not out entirely. Trust me, if you were shown something only once in your live, you’d be lucky just having a camera at all (these days it would be a crappy iPhone type video I’m sure in place of whatever format was used back in the 90’s like 8mm.
