Ok here’s the thing. The manga Dream Arc is The shortest of the arcs (11 Chapters) and the chapters usually continue one another, so it would be easier to condense the storyline into 4 hours. I would still much prefer an anime, but if this is what we’re getting, oh well.

Manga Dream Arc and the Anime Neherenia arc are identical, this would be basically Stars Neherenia Arc condensed as a movie, the Amazones Trio get treated like Mirror Parodies in the movie like in Neherenia Arc.

*facepalms internally*

They’re cramming the entire thing into just two movies?? Here I was actually looking forward to this season, since the manga story is a lot better compared to season 4 of the original anime, and now they go and pull this.

Why do the people in charge of Crystal seem to have no respect for the series whatsoever?

I find it so unfathomably bizarre that in spite of how beloved the franchise is, how notorious it is worldwide, and how the characters are referenced constantly in all facets of pop culture…the people who own the IP continue to do ABSOLUTELY F*****NG NOTHING WITH IT.

The demand is there for TV, film, video games, comics… and we get F*****NG NOTHING.

It’s unreal. If an American company owned Sailor Moon, it would have been crammed down our throats to the point of exhaustion by now.

Very disappointing news…. Very disappointing, indeed….

Yes! Let’s take what should be a 6-6½ hour season of ½ hour 12-13 episodes and condense it into a couple of (I’m guessing) 1½ hour (or barely 1½ hour) movies. -_-

A lot of effort and detail is being put into merchandise (do we really anymore figures and figurines for the 5,000th time?). But they can’t do the same for the series.

This is both great and bad news. It’s great we actually get something although they did say they will continue so I thought we would get some sort of continuation anyway. The movies would not be a bad idea if we had like 6 movies or something because we do not know how long each movie would be, but based on realistic expectations we would need 3 hour movies to really not cut out any important details since it is only going to be 2 movies. I do not think this will happen though unfortunately which means things will be cut. This is why I prefer them to make another season and the annoying part is it is only going to be 13 episodes for the season anyway. It’s not even a 52 episode per season thing so the budget is already as low.

I do not think just because it’s a movie the animation or quality will be higher. It would be nice if it was, but realistically that’s probably not happening. It already seems obvious they want crystal to end as soon as possible. It should have been a tv series with a decent amount of episodes to begin with, expanding on the characters and stories of the manga. I do not think they want to cancel it, but it seems they want the series to end as fast as they can make it happen.

I’m also surprised we didn’t hear anything about arc 3 being dubbed. Wouldn’t Viz do something for Usagi’s birthday? Guess they don’t care.

Well technically by reducing the excessive trqnsformation scenes and rearanging some plot points would fit in two movies, but only if they are about 2 hours long. I spend my whole day reading the arc and imagining how could thinks be rearranged and it would work out pretty well, as long as the movies are about 120 minutes each. The movie format can actually adapt the manga and shake up the repetitivnes. But they should have startedwith movies from the begining for the sake of reconsistency. Now it is late to change things and people will complain which is normal. We will see. My only concern now is not the story, because Chiaki Kon is a very capable director. My problem is the time it will take for the movies to be produced and released for people outside Japan. We will be waiting for years, unless they started to work on it since at least January. Chiaki Kon produced a whole beautifully adapted season in less than a year so I hope the movie might premier in Japanon January 2018 and to be available for us through streaming. Toei knows it is a huge international property and so far they have always managed to release it in multiple countries simultaniously.
