OP

[(Anonymous)]

I saw the first 40ish episodes of Sailor Moon... that's the first season, I guess?

I found it enjoyable in a bubblegum way, but also drowning in filler. I don't think I can sit through another 100-odd episodes of that, unless the plot gets a little denser.

I'm tempted to see the reboot because it's more condensed, but everyone says it's crap, idk.

Try watching the third season! I think that's when Ikuhara took over as head director. If you do decide to give it a go, keep in mind to avoid any English dubs of it.

I think the reboot is horrible, but maybe you'd like it. Why not give it a shot?

Re: OP

I will second anon above's comment in saying you should try out Sailor Moon S, the plot was tighter, there's still filler but not nearly as much as in the first season.

And if you didn't finish out the first season of Sailor Moon, I recommend watching at least the closing episodes of the first season because they were extremely good storytelling (just basically the last 2 episodes are the best.)

Stars is also good. Supers is the one to avoid if you dislike filler, because Supers is basically all filler.

I wouldn't in good conscience recommend the reboot (Crystal) because it's pretty weak, the only time it's good is when it's taking straight from the manga and in that case you should really just read the manga.

Crystal is pretty much a panel to panel adaptation of the manga though.

No.

Re: OP

Well, there are definitely deviations, but they are relatively minor. Keep in mind, I've only the first season or "arc"

*only watched, dammit

Crystal is really not a panel to panel adaptation though, the black moon arc has been a little closer but the dark kingdom arc had a LOT of deviations and none of them really improved upon the story.

Crystal doesn't have a lot of the comedy Naoko had. It added the Shitennou/Senshi romance which Naoko never officially wrote about in canon other then vague hinting at in Sailor V (and even though I liked the idea of the romance Crystal really did not develop it properly and trying to shoehorn it in while keeping the manga pace was a huge mistake.) There was definitely less of the inner senshi personality traits and girls becoming friends in Crystal and a lot of other minor deviations which overall weakened the story.

The art direction isn't even close either, there's actually a post somewhere on tumblr where someone took the panels from the first manga, and screenshots from the 90s anime and from Crystal and the 90s anime was actually CLOSER in the first episode then Crystal was.
