| I've read multiple comments about how it's so much more like the manga now, but I'm trying to figure out how this ep was so much different from the first ep of the original anime. Are we only talking about the art style, Usagi's elegance and the dreams? Because it's otherwise exactly the same. |

THe whole split-personality bullshit is not present. No rose throwing or saving either. The antics are way less exaggerated. The tone is different. As shown by the end of episode, it won't take ~10+ eps to introduce other senshi. |
 |
| Thanks, fai and sailorv. I wasn't aware of the differences between Mamoru and the following eps. I guess it's the small things like this that are tipping off the manga fans and making them excited. But these small things are going to become more obvious as the series progresses so I guess this is something to look forward to, especially if you're a fan of the manga. |
|
| It looks interesting. I'm definitely not used to this much change just yet, but hopefully the CGI will make up for itself... and it's only 26 episodes versus the original 46 (?) so the pace is definitely quicker. |
| Never seen Sailor Moon, so I didn't have really any expectations coming into this. Aside from the questionable usage of CGI and the strange (at times) art, I have to admit I am intrigued. It's quite good and I definitely will continue watching. |
 |
| Haven't seen Sailor Moon, but this anime felt like it was from the early 90's. Other than the unnecessary CG. It was alright |

| plotwise it didn't do to bad. sticks to the original manga. kinda hard to displease the fans that way. i loved the voice acting. but holy shit was the art production on this is bad. everyone looks and moves so lifelessly, and that anatomy/character designs, ughhh... that transformation scene was probably the worst one i have seen. considering how many times this was delayed and that its on a biweekly schedule i can't even believe it looks this bad. probably the worst looking high profile anime in a very long time. the original had so much character in the animation and this is just absolutely devoid of any at all. |
| Not bad. Not the biggest fan of the extremely pastel manga style art, but I could come around. Saw the original series back in the day, so everything that happened in the episode was really familiar with very few surprises or changes. My biggest complaint is that I'm not really sure this show needed to be remade. Except for the different animation style, the first episode of the original series and the first episode of this series are practically identical. Feels a lot like Toei Animation is going to a lot of effort to elaborately reinvent the wheel purely as a cash grab. |
| Really not my type of anime. Just watched the first one out of curiosity but wasn't it exactly the same thing as the original story? |
| did not watch the original, feels like a silly show but it is fine as that is expected the real problem for me is their voices, especially Usagi's one... |
| Its really weird how as a kid I loved Sailor Moon so much and was such a huge fan that i got the series and movies on VHS and DVD and watched them over and over again, but now I cant remember really a single thing about what its about. As I watched this episode I didn't really get a nostalgic or familiar feel or remember any of this stuff happening. I guess I was really young I dont know. I kind of want to put the original Sailor Moon series on my completed list, but I cant remember any of it so I dont know if that counts. I wonder if I am going to feel interested in the story as the person I am now, but I feel that I will have to watch it anyways because it is a classic and because I feel the need to honor a series I enjoyed so much as my younger self. |
| Slaine did nothing wrong. |
| Overall, I quite like it. But they definitely screwed up the transformation scene! It would have been better without the CGI effects, and Usagi's arms look kind of weird in it too. |
| At first, I thought they looked ages 15-25. |
  |
| Don't blame the potential of Sailor Moon, blame on the shitty director and new producers !! If only Kunihiko Ikuhara was still on board .. I remember when I saw him and asked him if he would work on that new one .. his smile spoke for him :( |
| amazing!!! so worth the wait |
| I thought it was overall very good! It is very close to the manga, though not exact as Sailor Moon starts of with the similar glasses to what Sailor V wears in the manga..not a big deal but I was really looking forward to seeing her wear them as I like the design xD The music was pretty good, would've preferred if they remixed old tracks but it still works fine. Only things I didn't like were the lack of facial expressions and I'm iffy on the transformation.. Overall, I liked it and I want more!..plus I wanna see Sailor Venus :3 |

About the expressions, some scene could have bit more of it true, like hitting the main door with Sailor V Kick. I think this aspect will be much better in the next episodes. Check the preview for episode 2 if you haven't seen it :D |

It will be way darker than the previous one. |

| I was honestly wishing there would have been a continueing series after the final one you know go further into the story actually see usagi get married. Having a remake of the original series seriously not needed. |

| I never watched the original in Japanese but gotta say Usagi's voice is annoying as fuck. |
| WHY THEY HAVE LIPSTICK???????????????? |
 Check out~ ♥ Some quality AMV:s made with love ♥ My Youtube |
| This was not as terrible as I was expecting it to be since my expectations were very low but...it was actually enjoyable save for her voice (Usagi's that is) and I have some mixed feelings with the CGI transformation sequence but aside form that, it was a nice episode...I was pleasantly surprised. Nostalgia overdrive. |
| First episode!! I loved it! Things I didn't care for: 1. Usagi's rubbery legs and arms during the transformation sequence. It's like she didn't have bones. 2. Their eyes! They are so huge and look so odd on their petite faces. On Luna, it's almost ridiculous. I don't think they look anything like the eyes in the manga. 3. They are also ridiculously thin. Thinner than in the manga. Things I loved: 1. The way it follows the manga to a T. I was following along with the manga. 2. Ami looks like she'll be showing up next episode which means, no filler episodes! :D 3. It's actually back! Even with the things I don't care for, I'm still so happy it's back. I guess I'm so use to the art of the old anime. I'll get use to this new art. Also, if each episode is an act of the manga, it would bring us to the middle of the 8th book. That's not bad at all. |
| I haven't watched Sailor Moon since I was kid, which is basically forever ago. Having seen this masterpiece of a first episode, I must say, this show is unique in it's own right. 11/10 Anime of the Season material right here folks. Awesome show with awesomely crafted non-superficial characters and really bad ass villains, deep and engaging plot not meant for 8 year olds, best romantic build up I've ever seen, and really nice and not low budget art/animation. All this matched with A+ voice acting, especially with Usagi's character, which comes off extremely polished, well done, and not piercingly high pitched and annoying in the least bit. In all seriousness, I'm not even sure why I'm watching this. |
| Go ***k yourself. Polite as usual, lightXTC |
| The nostalgia was great on this one. I didn't like the transformation animation though. |

 |
| I checked it out to see if it was going to be something special due to the significance of the original series. It left me underwhelmed. I'm ok with the character designs but the animation looks sloppy and I don't care for the cheap 3d crap |
| I was absolutely excited to watch it! As most, I didn't like the transformation scene. can not wait for the next episode. c: |
 |
| Actually this was good, I can say even pretty good. Feeling such nostalgia is awesome. But the style of animation... similar and differ at the same time. Transformation is not as cool as it was in original series, but whatever... Just to have one more opportunity to refeel this everything is worth this transformation ^_^ And waiting for the next episode and Ami's appearance ^_^ |
| ...Is this really 26 episodes? I assume it won't include the outher senshi. No point in watching then. |

| I remember, when I was young my sister would always watch Sailor Moon and I hated it. And now I'm sitting here, waiting a long time for this remake^^ I don't remember much of the old show, so I really can't compare it or anything. But god, it feels pretty nostalgic/old school^^ which is good? ...I guess? But I always wondered, she looks exactly the same transformed as in usual clothes, but nobody recognizes her? She got a pretty distinctive look too with her twin tails! I know, I know, that's an anime/every sort of movie or series on TV thing^^ |

| I AM SO AGAINST THOSE TWO ARCS IN ON SERIE OF 26 EPS !! There's no room for the black moon clan in Sailor Moon Crystal, 26 eps is nice to rearrange the season classic of original Sailor Moon but including the Romance season in Crystal would let a funky aftertaste in my mouth !! seriously !! |
| 13 chapters = Dark Kingdom 1 Chapters per Episode. 13 Episodes. 13-14 chapters Black Moon 1 chapters per episode 13 episodes 26 episodes. Deal with it.gif |
|
| It was an alright episode. Felt a little more rushed than the original. The animation is going to take a bit to get used to but I feel like the transformation was done very poorly. It reminded me of the old CGI used for the Warp and Ultimate digivolutions from Digimon. |
