Her outfit in this anime is exactly the same as in the manga. Not much is added in regards to accessories in the later story arcs.

Agree with some other commenters – don’t care for the theme song at all.

I’m excited to see how this version making it closer to the manga would turn out… My favorite senshi has always been the awesome Uranus and Neptune, so as long as they make them true to their wonderful selves… No complains.

I don’t remember Sailor Moon wearing so much bling blings and decorations (when transformed) in the original anime. Is Sailor Moon supposed to wear so much, um, pretty things in the manga? I can’t even imagine what else they will tack on in her Super Sailor Moon form…

Yup, the new design looks like that episode in the original Sailor Moon where they were visiting that negaverse-infested gym to lose weight… Looks like the negaverse finally got to the Sailor Scouts…

I understand people’s opinion on the new Sailor moon anime cause it’s gonna be different this time. Sailor moon crystal is suppose to be a darker adaptation than the original but just think about it, the manga was serious with the storyline and so the new Anime has to be like this. Most people loved the wacky expressive faces that the characters gave off. I did but now we have to enjoy this anime as much as we did with the 90s anime. I can’t wait to see Sailor Moon Crystal and the plot

@Tsumi It’s true, the style is more like the manga. And when they really follow the original storyline more and have great music, I try not to pay to much attention to the animation. I think I just see it so much, because I’m studying animation and I’m used to look at my stuff very closely to search for mistakes in anatomie and movement Anatomie: I really don’t care if it is realistic, as long as it looks good

I must say Im getting mix feeling because is closer to the manga but the skinninest (← not sure if that’s how is spelled) and emotion less face, I dunno is just odd. I’m just going to wait and see what happens, the colors on the other hand are pretty cool.

First off, this is an awesome first look at what is to come. Trailers (especially Japanese trailers) are 90% teaser and 10 truth. This happen with another anime I liked, Count of Monte Cristo, almost all of the trailer DID NOT even appear in the show. So if anything looks a mock or not right, it’s a trailer not the show.

I have mixed feelings. The look is definitely straight from the manga, no surprise there, and very beautiful. Still, somehow, the animation is making me think of old school anime. My first thought was “Maple Town.” Then, I thought of Saban Moon. That isn’t necessarily good or bad for me, it just depends on what they do with it.

I also really dislike the theme song. I don’t particularly care for Momoiro Clover Z or their style to begin with, so I’m not surprised for my lack of enthusiasm regarding the theme song.

Tsumi is right that the style is more closer to the manga than the old anime series. I like the original anime series, but this new one is a bit of fresh air. I feel like I’m looking at one of the illustrated manga covers when watching this.

Saying the animation is “clunky” and “amateurish” is a bit harsh. I make both traditional and 3d animations and there’s a lot of work that goes into it. Sometimes I wonder if people who are overly critical has ever looked into what it takes to make a series or even tried animating themselves.
