I liked the filler...

Cody loves Subs... GOD I CAN'T WAIT!!! I WANNA WATCH NEW MOON!!!!! *pouts*

GinKadia 06-06-2014 03:29 PM

Has anyone been watching Sailor Moon on Hulu? They're slowly releasing it subbed on Hulu. ((Sailor Moon not Crystal :p))

Codette 06-06-2014 03:41 PM

Actually does anyone know where I can watch good-quality Sailor Moon Stars subbed online... preferably free... I think I've only watched that season once..

Please, I haven't seen it myself. It's hard to find. I watched what few episodes of the fan dub I could find but then it was deleted from youtube.

I cannot wait for Sailor Moon: Crystal to come out.
The only information I know is, they've been selling some sort of new Sailor Moon merchandises related to the original Sailor Moon in Hot Topic.
Ever since Sailor Moon: Crystal is coming out, new merchandises are coming out related to the new version. There's even cosmetics being released of Sailor Moon. I think by Miracle Romance?
And I heard it'll start airing July 5th, I'm not sure where or on what exactly. :I

I am pretty excited about Sailor Moon Crystal.
Mostly because it will be nice to see all the characters again and enough somewhat reliving things in my childhood.
Though, I was not a Sailor Moon fan as long as most people I know, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I don't mind the animation style, that I know most people keep getting upset about, I find it rather interesting and the colors are really pretty.

Oh my god is this what's on hulu right now!?

GinKadia 06-30-2014 07:52 PM

Check out the opening/part of episode someone filmed at a convention. <3333

Captain Howdy 07-04-2014 09:49 PM

Twelve more hours to the premier. If you're in the US, you can watch it on Crunchyroll or Hulu. ;D

Captain Howdy 07-05-2014 10:40 AM

Anyone else stay up and watch the first episode? [:P]

Started to watch it on Crunchyroll, but it wasn't subtitled. Switched over to Hulu and it was fine. Have to deal with the commercials though.

My expectations were neither high nor low, I was simply curious to see how it would turn out... and it turned out pretty good, I thought. The art direction and character design may take a little getting used to, but it's not a problem at all.

It was nice to see, or rather hear, that after twenty years, Kotono Mitsuishi can still do Usagi's voice pretty perfectly.

edit: Okay, I coulda swore Tohru Furuya reprised his role as Mamoru, cause it seemed to really sound like him to me. But apparently it's a different actor. Confusing. :B

GinKadia 07-05-2014 02:55 PM

It's subtitled on Crunchyroll now. :3 SOoooooo pretty. And so many characters from the Manga <333

Q U E E N 07-05-2014 09:12 PM

I can't even remember the last time I saw Sailor Moon [lol] This looks pretty interesting, though.

Nephila 07-08-2014 08:36 PM

I just watched the first episode on CrunchyRoll. I'm really liking it so far. :D

Elirona 07-09-2014 12:18 AM

I watched the first episode! It's a really good reboot! I expected some new story, but it seems to be exactly the same as the original series. Oh well! I really liked the new transformation sequence, though a lot of people seem to not like it because of their nostalgia glasses.

Captain Howdy 07-09-2014 11:15 PM

Agreed. The transformation scene is getting, unfairly it seems, far too much flack. I don't understand why some are so offended that it's CGed. Cause it doesn't exactly line up with rest of the animation? It's not that big of a deviation, in my opinion.

And I think going forth, the story will deviate more noticeably. The first act of the manga and the first episode of the original series are very similar.

Angel-chan 07-19-2014 05:01 AM

I know I like it. Its different than the original plus my friend Rise likes it. I'm sure they do the dub version later on just watch it in Japanese.

Pearl of Night 07-19-2014 02:46 PM

I am excited for this. This was my childhood. I lived for Sailor Moon and was so sad when she just like up and vanished. Seriously.

I loved the first episode. I'm not going to lie, I admit I cried. It was just so awesome to see my favorite heroine back in action! Sure the transformation wa kind of awkward but I bet they'll clean it up. After all, it's her first appearance so they had to elongated and show off everything.

But I so wholeheartedly support it. I know where my money is going now. XD

xxblondiee 07-22-2014 09:24 AM

I haven't seen Sailor Moon in around 12 years since it was taken off British television (GMTV @ 6.30am Monday-Friday)
I remember the only reason I found it on television was because I woke up early and pt GMTV on ready for Pokemon at 7am, and Sailor Moon was on.
Watched it all the way through until it was cancelled. :(

Sad times!!

linapoo 07-27-2014 07:13 PM

Sigh, I am disappointed by SM Crystal. 8(
The animation is lacking, and the art is feels like it was drawn by amateurs.
There is lack of character in the animation and it's just sloppy.
I guess my expectations are too high. But, I guess I should have known considering Toei was animating.

Also, for the transformation scenes...it's lazy. It's honestly about them being lazy. I don't know their budget, but CGI is relatively cheap in TV shows (considering quality and what not) but it is faster to produce. I know I'm being over critical, but ugh.


Just why
You can expect this in scenes that are far away or not focused
but a close up? Really?

Though the voice acting is good. That's great. and I love that it follows the show! But augh I can't get past the awful art.

Libra 08-02-2014 02:29 AM

I have to say, I'm not a fan of the drawing style (the characters having suuuuper long limbs!), but all in all, it's still something different, and I think it is rather interesting.

I agree that there seems to be a lack of character depth. I feel like it's more of a 'hurry up and lets put together a new Sailor Moon' kind of a feel.

SPOILERX

I'm glad they didn't draw it out and have Ami come into the anime in a couple episodes, but still, it feels a little rushed


I'm still gonna keep watching it, since I love the new transformations for the characters (incorporating the planet they are associated with)

For-Chan Cookie 08-04-2014 06:12 AM

I have some really mixed feelings about Crystal so far. I mean, on the one hand, Sailor Moon! On the other....well...

I really hate how Luna looks in this. It's really uncanny valley somehow. The face, the overall ridiculous slenderness of her body. I'm not digging it.

And you'd think that for a show that gets two whole weeks to work on an episode instead of just one, they'd be able to animate it smoothly. I watched Rei's episode last night and holy cow, there's one scene where she walks across the temple grounds (around 8:30) and it just looks so oddly jerky. I'm not usually one to notice those sort of animation errors, but it was literally the only thing moving in the frame and it was so awkward! Rei's eyes are pretty scary too.

I mean, I won't stop watching, maybe, probably, but I am not blown away.

As far as the Transformation sequences go, I'm not overly bothered by the CG scenes, but the transformations are something they only have to animate once and get to recycle ad nauseum, so why go the cheap way when they could have gone all out?
