Yes, I had noticed they had changed some of the dialogs to add more character development. It is really cool to see how seriously they involve into the dub .

Thanks for your precisions Neon Genesis !

I haven’t watched this episode yet but I’ve been rewatching the old series and this new one. I’m more than half way through the crystal version and have watched almost a quarter I think of the first season of the original. Both series have their issues. What they should have done with crystal is meet the original anime and manga halfway. The original had a lot of filler. What it makes up for is giving more character and story development. Also the way how the characters so far have been acting seem more real with reluctance. The crystal series they tend to just go along with what they are doing.

The biggest issue with crystal is none of the characters have much of a personality. I feel this is because they decided to cram the whole arc of the manga into 13 episodes. I will admit I never read the manga. Which I probably should soon, but I’m sure if crystal follows the pacing there is very little character development in the manga. Here even sailor moon who is the main character feels relatively unknown to me in crystal. The only thing she’s done so far is cry. Maybe if they doubled or tripled the episodes they could have expanded both the soldiers and the enemies backstory, We really know nothing or at least I don’t feel like I know much about either the sailor soldiers or the enemy and their real reasons behind their actions. They probably could have used some episodes to develop the characters similar to what they did in the original anime—just more effectively this time with more character development and story development while still following the manga. Maybe they expand on the stories in the manga or just have some episodes that are not from the manga but give us some development story and character wise.

Maybe I am too old now so I appreciate character and story development over their constant repeating of transformation sequences which are badly done anyway. I hope the 3 season is better in character and story development but if they keep manga chapter equals one episode that probably won’t happen. They need to expand the story a bit maybe 26 or 30 something episodes so they can tell a much stronger story. They should have did that instead of cramming the story into 13 episodes. This was a chance for them to retell the story following the manga more closely while still expanding on the overall storyline.

I was listening to a Sailor Moon podcast recently, Love and Justice (a really great show that I highly recommend, btw) and they were interviewing the dub script writer for Crystal. The script writer talked about how they tried to add in more character development to Crystal through the dialog where they could, so I’m really glad it seems to have turned out well.

I have just noticed that when the Kings die and that their spirits encourage the girls to keep on fighting and to save the princess (You’ll grim for us later”), Jupiter says, in the Japanese version “Arigato mina”, which means “Thank you guys”, and here in the English dub she says “We’ll never forget you”. “We” or “I”, I’m not sure to understand well since English is not my first language. But this is a kind attention to the Kings from the English dubbers, since they will never be remembered again in the anime, except by Mamoru when he summons their spirits in the second arc.

The English dub is really good in many points .
(Not like the French dub which was made by people who don’t give a **** about Sailor Moon…)

“I’m wondering if Naoko was behind this in anyway?” I personally don’t think Takeuchi Naoko has anything whatsoever to do with this series. I don’t care what people say. The musicals, maybe. This, no.
