Re: Sailor Moon Crystal!

I enjoyed it! C: I did have to keep reminding myself that Usagi is 14, because I'm used to reading such long legs as being for adults, but I'll become accustomed to the style quickly.

I haven't read the manga (yet!), and I couldn't help comparing this first ep to the original anime. It's interesting how many scenes are staged the same way, and the similar events and character designs. Not surprising, since both were based on the manga. I'm looking forward to the Nephrite episodes, because that's where the 1st anime really did their own thing. I'll be able to enjoy Crystal for itself, as I won't be comparing it.

I liked the transformation sequence, and was again amused at how similar it was to the original. (Disclaimer: I haven't seen comparison gifs or watched original SM in years. I'm going on memory.) It wasn't obviously CGI to me, and I don't know if I'd have realized it was without already hearing about it from the leak, which I missed viewing before it was deleted.

I enjoyed the opening, and if my ears don't deceive me, the ending song is sung by the girls' seiyuu. Yay!

My only quibble about the ep is the lower animation quality. In particular I noticed a lot of zoomed-in shots, and Usagi talking without her mouth being visible. Also we never saw Luna produce the brooch, it just suddenly appeared. Even the first anime had that stock footage of Luna doing a flip in the air and materializing various items. I thought for sure Toei would pour some money into the first ep's production values, at least, but I guess not. If I could change one thing about the ep, I'd like to increase the number of drawn frames by 50%. I likes me some fluid anime. C:

(Wow, apparently I have a lot to say! But SM holds a special place in my heart.)
