| The new one would have been lovely if they hadn't gone with the cheap, ugly cgi. |
  |
| yeah the older one is much better |
 |
| The look of the new one would have been better if they didn't make her look like a stick :| She looks like one of those string cheese things lol |
 |
| God that CG is bad, Toei, you should've kept the transformation sequences 2D like in Precure. |
 |
| I like them both. I wish the new one was a bit shorter though. |
| I was really liking it in till the CG started to become too apparent.... why is CG starting to run so rampant in anime these days? I mean, it's not like it can't work if used sparely, but I think they over did it here. I think it would have been really great if they hadn't relied on the CG so heavily. |
| CGI is too obvious. |
 |
| funny - usualy Toei is great with CGI (Precure endings for example) but here it's just... well it's based on manga and I don't expect much here so no problem :P at least I won't be dissapointed. |
FuredeRiko said: The CG was not as bad as I thought it would be after reading the comments... But yeah, gonna need some getting used to for a while. The movement choreo and effects looks really gorgeous though, 20 yrs difference is so obvious huh? It isn't that the CGI is bad, it's just it's too jarring when the rest is 2D. |
|
| Oh wow the new one is so weird. Her arm looks like a piece of spaghetti or something. |
| new opening animation... need to watch in hd :D! Anyway expected the new transformation to be alot worse when I heard it was 3-d cg but it was pretty decent, but still kinda wanted a awesome sakuga animation instead.. Toei were always pretty decent with 3-d cg so I'll probably get used to it. |
| Personally, the CGI looks really out of place what with everything else being 2D. Feels cheap and honestly it's visually unappealing. |
| and the music! the old transformation music was EPIC! this new one is just kinda meh....gonna have to get used to both the music and the cg...sigh.. at least the new op is exciting, not embarassed to say I got a little choked up when I saw my beloved senshi! >_< |
 |
| Only in mal would a top of the line computer animation procedure would be considered "cheaper" as 2d stock footage.Only in mal. Anyway, the comparisons do not really matter since we will see the sequence itself once maybe twice through the whole show - same for the others. |

It could be worse: Having mixed feeling about the CGI transformation I still voted for the new one. I agree, that it's a bit weird / awkward here and there, but I think it's only a matter of habit. I watched it a few times and start to like it, especially the music :D As long as they don't stuff the Anime with tons of long CGI sequences every episode (so far they are only present shortly in the opening and transformation sequence), then it's ok to me. |

| The problem isnt that its cgi. The problem is the cgi is terrible. |
emeraldrosary said: The time difference only gets bigger when you consider that the transformation scenes will be longer for the other Sailors as well. Which matters fuck-all since Manga, after first one or two cases, just has them insta-transform or appear in the scene already transformed. |
|
| I'm not feeling the cgi but changing the bgm is actually a bigger issue for me. I LOVE the original's transformation bgm. Oh well...gotta get with the times I guess. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| actually i do not mind the 3D/CGI but i prefer the old one simply because the music is better that its upbeat |
emeraldrosary said: Fai said: I've only seen the anime and they always include transformation scenes every episode. Even if they skipped the scenes in the manga, I doubt they will do that here. Especially since they took the time to use CGI and 3-d effects. Well, in the end we can only wait and see to find out. Only a couple days left :DWhich matters fuck-all since Manga, after first one or two cases, just has them insta-transform or appear in the scene already transformed. Considering they will most likely cover the first two story arcs and they have total of 26 30 min episodes(~1-1.5 chapter per episode), that barely gives them time enough to spend ~13 episodes per story arc(~12-13 episodes for Sailor Moon and ~12-13 for Black Moon). AND the first arc has to include SailorV backstory one way or the other. There's no space to waste. And it would not fit tone-wise for ~70% of the content after the introductory phase. j0x said: actually i do not mind the 3D/CGI but i prefer the old one simply because the music is better that its upbeat Which yet again would not fit tone-wise. Kajiura Yuki-esque chorus of doom is more fitting. |

| The new one looks like it's from Miku Miku Dance or something. :P Honestly, I think part of the appeal of the original Sailor Moon is that it's so 90s. When you lose that 90s aesthetic, it takes away a lot of the charm of the original. |
| They have really doner sailor moon a disservice with this. I mean, apart from her being waaaaaaaay too thin, the CGI looks damn cheap. They should have blown some extra money on a high quality 2d animation fitting the legacy. I mean, compare this with the nanoha transformations (TV version vs. movies). THAT's how you do it. |
| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| I'll get used to the new one and the CGI. After a 2nd look, I think it's impressive. Old music is better though. LET'S GO! |
 |
| Older one is better, without a doubt. They should have just made the CGI (or something at least similar to it), then trace over it so the animation isn't as obvious and cheap-looking. |

| Good god that cgi is awful D: It's so cheap looking. Very disappointed! |
SolviteSekai said: The problem isnt that its cgi. The problem is the cgi is terrible. Toei improved a lot over the pasty ears (look at pretty Cure!) but I have to agree. I prefer the old transformation as well, simply because it is more consistent, doesn't stick out from the rest of the series' style as far as we can judge that for now and is.. well.. not CGI. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Love Live has essentially opened the flood gates. Now any time anyones moving around a lot, its probably going to switch to CGI, regardless of genre. |
| Of course old one. This new looks so cheap, I think even some fans could make it better. Btw.. Correct me if im mistaking but i think Usagi's hair in the manga was silver, only as a sailor soldier her hair was golden, right? |
| First one is better "Because nostaliga" <3 |

- I only draw freestyle! - |
| was the cgi even necessary ? why not just animate? |
| Ughh, those spaghetti arms and legs, the new transformation sequence extols anorexia >_< |
| The new one look better for me. I don't see anything wrong with using cgi |

| NOOOOO NOT CGI ;_; Hopefully it doesn't take the magic awat from the show. I'm REALLY looking forward to reliving my childhood! |
| No metter what they do, the old will always be better. I'm sorry, I can see they tried, but the old one is a classic. I was wondering if I should even watch this new version since I'm an old fan. I will watch it but all the CGI and the new music....I don't know...What was wrong with Moon Desentsu? It was great, they should have just made a cover.... Yes, I am biased towards the old one :D |
xXWoLFxChAoSXx said: Never watched the original anime, but the new transformation is far better than the old one. How is a well done CGI animation worse than 2d stock footage? I don't understand you MAL... It's mal. MAL rules: Everything cgi is evil. Everything progressive is evil. God forbid someone adds same sex relationships to the show. Characters showing human emotions makes them whiny. Especially if they are female. For character to be cool he/she has to be sociopath with no human empathy nor logical human reactions to its surroundings. If the show does not have moe or lolis its not a good show. If its not an overrated LN adaptation. Its not a good show. RLinksoul said: It's better suited for an upbeat cutesy show like that, but Sailor Moon had a softer feminine charm to it. Considering the original true sailor moon, not counting messed up anime adaptation, is still one of the most gender-norm-breaking things japan ever written, that's okay. The transformation has to be elegant, not really "feminine". We have girls dressing like boys, girls dressing like girls, girls liking girls, girls liking boys, girls liking both, boys transforming into girls and vice-versa, etc. The scout transformations draw inspiration from tokusatsu shows and shonen genre. It IS supposed to be brash and energetic. The scouts do not throw pretty hearts at villains or redeem them(despite what previous adaptation tried to show you)with love - they stab you with swords and kill the fuck out of you with elemental attacks. |

| i like the old one too |
 |
| I usually like CGI, but good CGI, and the transformation CGI was not good... I mean, stick with the animation you had from the beginning. Suddenly changing really does hurt the eyes and it doesn't fit... And the original duration was fine and it had covered all essential parts, but this one is too long. |
| I am continuing to remain cautiously optimistic that the reboot will be good (it was a pretty blase first episode, but it absolutely was true to the manga--to the point where numerous shots were exact imitations of manga panels--and so I'm holding out hope that it could get good).....but the one major complaint I had was the new transformation sequence. It's just -bizarre-. Others have mentioned the spaghetti arms, but also the bit where her boots appear and she looks like a robot? The old transformation sequences (for all the senshi) were so beautiful and artistic, and this just looks....like a kid playing around with computer graphics. I guess if the transformation sequence is the worst thing about it, I shouldn't complain, eh? (But oh, the transformations are such a big part of it! As a kid, they were one of my -favorite- things about the original. And we know we'll see it again and again...and again.) |
