Re: I didn't even watch Sailor Moon as a kid.

"I have to admit the designs in all their grotesque-ness might not be that freakish after a couple of episodes. But I'd still insist that Toei is just hurting themselves further by coming up with such detailed, long-limbed designs. You realize that's more money/effort to animate, right guys? That could be going in your retirement fund! What are you thinking. And it shows, Usagi can't even move a limb in a single smooth arc, everything's choppy as hell. This is the first episode. Almost half a shows budget goes into the first two and last two episodes of a season. There is absolutely nothing here that can justify the years of delay, bi-monthly release schedule, or hype. Fuck me.

I don't know how the contempt Toei has for Sailor Moon fans could be made more clear after looking at that transformation sequence. The line of thought here is beyond transparent. They literally sat around in the board meeting and said "what's the most expensive and time-consuming part of this show's production???" The transformation sequences. I'm sure we can fix that. And goddammit all they did. It looks so bad and completely lacks the magic of the old ones, but we did that when we were young men that actually wanted to add something beautiful to the world, now we just want money, so. Magic girl shows... repeat animations every episode. People expect that. People are totally okay with it. And Toei STILL said "fuck it". What does that say about them do you think?"


THANK YOU for saying everything I've wanted to say in a more clear and concise manner.
