wow, that was pretty exciting!
Sailor Jupiter is as bad ass as ever. :)
I wonder if they're ever going to talk about how when they met Usagi they saw the same vision, or at least talk about how they saw something when they saw her.

I am loving this anime more and more. Not that I didn't start loving it because it has always been my favorite anime. =D
I am just so happy. As an original fan. I look forward each episode every two weeks. even though this time I had to wait 3 weeks :(.

But hey, something is better than nothing.

I get how luna is doubting of Tuxedo Kamen, because after all, he is after the silver crystal as well. And so is Queen Berryl, which he could be portrayed as an enemy. But he has helped Usagi and the girls several times, and by helped i mean behind the scenes. which I love! Because they can handle themselves. They don't need a man to always protect them. Another improvement from the old series.

So next episode is about Tuxedo Kamen. Is he an enemy or an ally?

I hope they come to an understanding soon.

I wonder when Sailor Venus is going to appear.

Since in the old anime, sailor Jupiter appeared on episode 25 out of 46. And in this she appears in episode 5 out of 26.
Sailor Venus appears in episode 33 out of 46. so maybe she'll appear in 7,8?

Well as always, excited for next episode. yay!

Clearly, the extra week off actually gave them time to give a damn about this show.
There were barely any off-model shots and the proportions didn't look terrible.
Still not saying much(the animation leaves a lot to be desired), but it's better than nothing.

I liked the story in this episode too. Jupiter best girl.

Mako coming in ftw. Her transformation looked awesome with all the electricity and lightning around her. Also, I love me some tall girls especially when they can cook! It was a long 3 week wait for this episode but it looks like they at least put that extra time to use by improving the animation for this episode. I'm liking the CG style now.

i dont understand why they keep diverting the plot from manga .. Nephrite supposed to be eliminated with a lightning blast from Makoto's tiara attack.. Thats what has happened in the manga.. similarly, jadeite should have already been killed by sailor mars in episode 3..

alright animation and pacing stuff are good enough but the fact that they change the story arc is a complete disappointment..

They've specifically stated that the episodes come out on the first and third Saturday of every month. The reason this episode took longer to come out was because August had five Saturdays instead of four.

The original creator Naoko Takeuchi is working together with them and in an interview she said that she wanted to include more things in her manga, but couldn't do so because of time constraints. That's why we're getting these kind of changes in the manga. I hope they have something good prepared for those guys

Best episode so far, hands down. Plot was handled well, the animation was far less wonky, and overall it was enjoyable to watch. I admit that before I hit play, I winced and dreaded what was to come. But I was pleasantly surprised in the end.

For starters, nice solid introduction of Makoto/Jupiter. The story gave enough clues to her "senpai issue" without overdoing it or leaving us wondering. It was cut and dried, but well executed, something that the show has been sorely lacking and thus was a welcome sight. (Still grumpy about the story around the Rei/Mars introduction that just ended up being so clunky.) The pacing was great and it kept me interested the entire time. I think that was the big key for me -- I was genuinely interested in the storyline, I was eagerly waiting what would come next, and I wasn't watching the clock to see when it would be over.

Animation has gotten better, even if it's not anywhere near perfect. I do hate to be "that person" but yeah, our expectations are pretty damn low at this point, and we're kinda grasping at straws and rationalizing the art. It's better but it's not where it could or should be. Do I have a small glimmer of hope that as time progresses, it will only continue to improve? Yeah. Maybe it's a bit misguided and I'm jumping the gun here, but GDI I just want it to be awesome so badly. The one egregious animation issue that irked me was that Jupiter's final pose had noodle legs akin to Mars'.

Which brings me to transformations. Hell yeah we're getting rid of full transformations. I was extremely pleased to see that when Moon/Mercury/Mars transformed, we were only forced to sit through partials, and we didn't have to have each girl say a catchphrase. Thank whatever powers that be for that. (Although, using Mars' fire for the mid-part and Mercury for the ending would have been a better choice, IMO. The CGI fire is just so much better than that "water.")

Jupiter's transformation was good, though not as good as Mars, IMO. Retains much of the original movement and the lightning was pretty good, all things considered. I'm still hating the CGI, but at least they've started to cut down on how much of it we see. We may never see instantaneous transformations (like ChibiMoon in the original before she had a sequence -- I actually liked that quite a bit) but I think we're heading down the right track.

Overall I'm happy with this episode. So much better than the last one, with its weak plot, obvious animation issues, and just general suckitude. I came in with rock bottom expectations, and while I haven't let myself leap for joy or expect amazing things in the future, I do think this episode deserves some praise for getting things right and maybe heralding a new path.

--

So far as "manga divergence" is concerned -- I'm not that worried about it. Naoko is working on the project and even if she weren't I'm still essentially happy with what's happened (basic plot/manga adherence) so far. I'll wait until the end to judge if the decisions around the Shittenou end up being a net-plus or net-minus.

I'm rather excited about the rumours about where Naoko might take this. It would certainly provide a more symmetrical story arc for the other scouts--and I don't mind if the author takes it in the direction she wanted it to go, rather than the direction she was forced to go by external constraints. Over-all the tightening of the story (removing the youma of the week fillers between recruitments of the scouts) has us moving along much faster, so I'm suspecting we might even get to the end of the second season (Sailor Moon R) since they will almost certainly skip the filler "doom tree" arc.

I pretty much like Makoto's character already. She has that tough look face and as powerful as the other Sailor Moon characters. Also the transformation to Sailor Jupiter was pretty good.

And the 2 week wait begins again.

I was grinning like an idiot during Mako's transformation. My 9-year old self was probably laughing at me the whole time XD She's my second favorite behind Rei. Props to Koshimizu Ami for doing a great job. Whoever did the casting did a really great job not just for Mako but for everyone (so far).

"I've seen that look before" plus Jadeite's attraction with Rei in a previous episode...ah I see where you're going now, Naoko.

WOOO SAILOR JUPITER!!

My favorite guardian from the original back when i was little. Wish she had a cuter voice but it was great to see her in her brand new animated form.

Man, i thought that watching this series out of pure nostalgia was going to lead to me just hating it but I'm actually genuinely enjoying the cheesiness and memories this brings back. Definitely won't be dropping this :D

This episode was worth the 3 week wait. Sailor Jupiter's transformation sequence is electrifying!!

And Nephrite having a feeling that he's seen her before is something that slightly differs from the manga. But it's all good, I've no complains :) I look forward to seeing more of the 4 Generals.

Another 2 weeks to the next one then. Even longer before Sailor Venus' appearance. I hope to see the 5 Sailor Senshi together soon

This episode was rely good,even great.Todays episode had a good pace to it.Nothing felt rush,everything felt smoothed.The added scenes were good too,and enhance the story.I like that we saw Jupiters first love,and how he broke her heart. I'm glad were seeing the other side characters like Umnio/Melvin. Also the animation was preety good,three weeks help a lot.No awkward faces,and akward poses. Just nice,and clean models.Another thing,that I notice that.Nephrite said he saw Jupiters face before.It looks like there going with the whole the generals,and senshi known each other in pass life route.

The creators said they were adding Nako's original idea's,that she didn't have time to put in the original manga.They said they were going to follow the original story.Not that it was going to be exactly like the manga.Besides this is an adaption,not the manga.So is going to have changes to it regardesly.Certain things can work in a comic,but work horriable animated.

Definitely the best episode so far. Not many derp faces and the pacing is consistent. The most well-directed so far.

Makoto is awesome and so is Ami Koshimizu! Definitely the perfect voice for the perfect character.

This epd was amazing! We get to see my favorite girl: Makoto/Jupiter these 3 weeks were long, but it was well worth the wait! I also agree with everyone, the animation was leaps and bounds above the last 2 epds. I can't wait to watch the next epd! Also it looks like Sailor Venus has an anal bead whip!

Okay, 3 weeks in once now? Thank you very much

I wonder why Nephrite some remember about Sailor Jupiter's eyes, it is because he and she have a special feeling of each other in the past?

In original manga, Jadeite suposed to be dead when he burned by Sailor Mars, but he survived. He also attracted to her.

I have a picture of Sailor's with the guardian of Prince Endymion, I wonder if Takeuchi-sensei wants the other sailor have a boyfriend too in this anime

The number of episodes is bother me too, 26 episode, if this anime followed the original manga until Dark Kingdom lose, then 13 episode is enough. In that number of episode, I just can't help but thinking they want to insert Black Moon Arc too

Do you mean the Artworks? Episode Eyecatches like:



Well the one in the middle of the episodes are standards in the TV versions of Animes and act as interlude for advertisements. Here it's simply as spacer. The first one though give us the Episode title, the last one, that the Episode has ended ;p I doubt they take them out.
