Review: Sailor Moon Crystal Season III

[smirkingcat]

dear folks prepare for a rant!


so you know i am a HUGE sailor moon fan, and yes i read the manga and the manga is ok and fine, but the anime is very good too - the original- and that is what i do i compare the original one to the new one and well the new one doesn't cut it for me:



here is a list with what i have troubles with:

• michiru and haruka already do have the talismans and do not need to search for them


• haruka is now a man/girl and no longer just a girl- which deletes the first lesbian couple in a mainstream watched anime EVER, it's just gone now, which i hate because the flirting and banter between those two is what makes season 3 so amazing- i am such a michiru/haruka fan that this nearly broke my heart


• the dynamic between sailor neptune, sailor uranus and the others are off somehow


• the heartbreaking moments are just gone: like in the original one when mamoru tells usako that it is over, and she goes back to his flat to say "i'm sorry" and then he is even more cold towards her, and she sees chibiusa's shoes there and knows that the little girl is there - i still cry like a baby at this scene with the tears in usagi's eyes it's just so sad...


• you can't imagine what they did to the dark side: what they did to HOTARU! i mean while i like michiru/haruka as a pair my most fav character in the whole sailor moon unisverse is sailor saturn /hotaru and then the mistress nine in her- you cant imagine how wrong they just did it- like with nano-roboters and her father which in the original anime plays such a huge role and survives is just a minor character and dies!!!


• the whole chibiusa thing is of somehow- her relationship is not as funny as it was with usagi


• i miss the angst! its honestly more boring than angsty this time around


• and once more there is no real character growth... and nothing changes for sure and the colour scheme of sailor moons uniform got even WORSE than in the original one, and lets be frank here it was already bad to start with... but well

so yeah, i saw it, it wasn't really good because besides one moment with hotaru all angst, drama, romance and sexiness is just gone, the colours got worse and the transformations now take longer than before...
but yes if there is a season IV i will watch it too- just to compare and to have a good reason to rewatch the original episodes and to cry over the heartbreak there XD
