Re: Sailor Moon Crystal

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

I went into it expecting to be bored out of my skull because of the reputation of all the horrible filler eps, but honestly some of my favs so far have been "filler" episodes. It really is more of a slice of life anime with some magical girl adventure thrown in, and it's really REALLY funny at points imo.

Also, I found Usagi waaaaay less annoying in the 90s anime, because her whining fits better thematically with goofy 14-year-old comedy bits and she has a lot more depth. You get to see her actually grow up a bit, from the first eps where she's scared out of her wits to later in the season when she's growing into her role and showing real wisdom and kindness to her friends. It's really clear in the 90s show WHY the senshi are so loyal to her, vs Crystal where she's either crying or a badass and everyone loves her even though we never see why they would.

and everyone is always talking shit about the animation, but it's honestly not that bad? It blows a lot of 90s anime out of the water and it's way smoother and more emotive than Crystal.
I mean, seriously.

Yeah, I felt that the connection with the other senshi is really weak in Crystal. Aside from her being their princess, it's really unclear why she's so important to them.

I think the talking shit about the animation thing is sort of a modern-era snobbishness, you know? I can't see the first gif, it's saying access denied or something, but I believe you. The animation in Crystal is really stiff and weak. I've seen bits of the original anime, and it honestly looks pretty good to me. Yes it's 90s, but it's PRETTY 90s. I just watched a bit of the original's episode 1 today, and I think because it's a little more cartoony, even Usagi's crying isn't nearly as annoying.
It's like how I watched Utena, and okay, I'd love to see some of those scenes with full-on animation (especially the battles), and maybe a bit less repetition in some parts, but holy hell that's a gorgeous looking show.
