“These people saying “You aren’t a true fan unless you accept whatever they shove down your throat” are the ones who are not true fans, in my opinion. They are also the types who allow bad habits to continue.”

Howdy! I beg your pardon, but I said something in these comments that used some of those words. Were you referring to me? I do agree that criticism is valid and has its place; what I was saying is that I think it’d–in my opinion–be illogical to turn down this home video release just because of the cover, which I have seen across forums. Granted, that might have been harsh of me. But I, too, love Sailor Moon and Crystal to death, despite them having its share of flaws.

I totally agree! Maybe for the 40th anniversary! I think we all just need to agree that we all LOVE Sailor Moon. Some are just happy for anything, some are upset because they want quality and not something that may taint the legacy.

If only Toei would give Crystal the attention it deserves. I’m going to love it either way, BUT as someone who does love it I feel like that gives me a right to complain when they do something incredibly sloppy or lazy.
These people saying “You aren’t a true fan unless you accept whatever they shove down your throat” are the ones who are not true fans, in my opinion. They are also the types who allow bad habits to continue. We complained about season 1-2 and we got a much better season 3. That doesn’t mean season 3 is flawless and they can certainly improve for season 4 and 5.
Now those who just hate on it because it’s new, that’s just as silly.
I do feel like much more care was taken with the original anime.

Honestly I need to agree with all the complaining. The art does look off. For me the reason why I get so frustrated about Sailor Moon in today’s world is because you can tell the care factor is so low both with Toei in Japan and Viz in America.

I feel that Toei is trying to make an extra couple of bucks on a franchise who’s original audience is now 25 years and older. I’m 30, so of course I’m going to look at Crystal from a different prospective than the original when I was 9. Yes the original has nostalgia so for Crystal it’s hard to compete; But when I look at comparison clips on YouTube the 90s animation was and is truly better than Crystal. For example Neptunes hair and Uranus’s hands in their transformation sequence, or the odd body position during Sailor Moon’s moon spiral heart attack. I guess what makes Crystal great is the fact that it is in HD, however you would think that the animation would be superior to the original due to advancements in technology.

Now on to Viz. I think Viz decided to dub Sailor Moon just to dub Sailor Moon. I also think Viz goes through moments of caring; for example having a random movie premier, which I am greatful for. However during an interview with Stephanie Sheh she recounts when she found out she got the part of Sailor Moon. Her story just seemed so nonchalant for an anime that should be well respected. That moment in her interview never really sat right with me. Also just the voice acting alone makes me depressed. People criticize the new dub so hard on if the voice sounds right, but to me in order to make these characters come to life you need to have actors and not people who can regurgitate line in a low or high voice. There are a few actors in the new dub, but few.

Overall I love Sailor Moon, and I am greatful for something even if it’s not the best in terms of quality.

Just preordered. Can’t wait to see it! I’m just concerned about Sailor Moon S Part 2. Is it still coming out this spring?

Yeah, sure it ain’t perfect, but it is giving me flashbacks to the those pink VHS tapes of the original English dub.

My reply above also goes for you and the other argument.

Apparently we’re the only sane ones in this forum. Everyone else just likes to argue and nitpick every little thing that they feel is wrong. When season 1 of Crystal came out, everybody was all “I hate the CGI, I hate the new style, I hate how there’s no character development because the story is condensed”… then season 3 came out and it’s “I hate how it looks like Precure, I hate the new transformation sequences, they’re too short and quick and the quality isn’t up to par with the CGI of the previous season, I hate how they just basically recycled Uranus and Neptune’s transformation and the music is all wrong”…. I’m just fed up with people that are constantly unsatisfied with everything and I know they have the right to say what they want, but so do I and that includes calling out morons that just want to complain about everything! Sorry not sorry!

Yeah, that’s pretty much how I feel. If a bad cover art seriously puts you off enough to not buy the movie, you’re not much of a fan.
