Sailor Moon Crystal

[(Anonymous)]

I get that there's plenty of reasons to hate on Sailor Moon Crystal, I just wish people would either shut up about how much they hate it or at least keep it tagged as such.

No one was forced to sit and watch Crystal, but some of the vitriol some of the fans are spewing sure makes it sound as if they were. We're all fans of something together. Why do some people gotta make it so nasty?

I agree, at first I thought Crystal was better than the original anime, now I've changed my mind... I still like Crystal but as a nice supplement to the manga.

Either way, I'm tired of people telling me how awful I am and not a true SM fan... when I've been in the fandom most of my life.

Some people just like to have something to complain about, I guess.

But a more serious answer, my guess is that SMC probably didn't live up to one of two things:

* Personal expectations, especially those who've never read the manga
* Rose-tinted nostalgia of the original anime (which itself was nowhere near perfect in some regards and comes across as horribly dated in parts)

SMC was what it was advertised to be: a quasi-reboot that's accurate to the original manga (right down to the art style), borderlining on almost being panel-for-panel. If they were expecting something different, I don't know what to tell them.

This is why I don't understand fans of the manga who act like Crystal "ruined" the manga. Uh no, it's almost panel-for-panel

I liked the manga and yeah, it was panel for panel, but that's the problem. most of the anime based on clamp's works have similar issues. shoujo manga tend to be really dynamic and require an adaption that goes creative with the source material, OR puts a LOT of money into it. (I'm talking X the movie animation-money.)
The Sailor moon manga often didn't depict backgrounds, for example, focusing more on the expressions of the protagonists. it's NOT true to the art style if you just trace the lines then, and slap some watercolor background on it. The scene completely changes context, in the visual sense.
Sure, they were probably on a tight budget, but I'd rather see a 4-episode OVA done decent than what was Crystal.

Seconding the idea of an OVA, or even a movie. I would love to see a movie of the Stars arc! I'd love to see Sailor Cosmos not only animated, but in movie-quality animation.
