The animation quality is pretty embarrassing, considering it's the first episode :|

Man, I'm looking forward to this. I've heard really good things about this season and I could already feel Ikuhara's directorial presence in the scene with the scientist villain guy.

This is already better than Sailor Moon R. And yeah, I agree with insan3soldiern, the Ikuhara vibes have pretty much doubled. I'm also noticing much better allocation of animation budget here; they skillfully cut from everything else so that the scenes with more action can have better animation.

Well it definitely has a better start than the previous arc!
I never realised they were still all in middle school all of them all this time!?! And now Mamoru (who is a college guy) is beginning to act like a complete immature virginal idiot - a typical theme for male characters in Japanese animes.

Nice first episode. I heard this season is great, so I was looking forward to it.
I liked the renewal of the opening. And I'm kinda glad they left the same ending, it's nice.

I've been waiting so long for this season. This is either my favorite or second favorite season. Can't really say cause I don't remember the last two seasons.

Totally love that doctor guy's evil laugh xD

A singer, a songwritier, a musician, a model, an actress! Wow, Rei is certainly ambitious that's for sure. She's like the social version of Ami.

Aww, poor Serena. She has to do better at school if she ever wants another date again ^_^

Heartbreaker: "Who are you?"
Tuxedo Mask: "What are you? LOL

We either had to deal with dark forces from the past and evil alien guys from the furture, and now it's a crazy mad scientist who can create even more stronger enemies than those clowns in the previous seasons. Seems like a good beginning.

Awww the conversations between Rei and Usagi were really sweet. Also the beginning was super creepy, imagine being in middle school and seeing the end of the world ...

Nice first episode. O: I liked all the UsaGei. And it's good how everyone got the gist of everything so quickly at the end...it's better than drawing things out like the last two seasons.

So I always watched Sailor Moon dubbed. And the first thing that popped in my mind was.. whatthefreckhappenedtothevoiceactors? I even checked the voice acting list and they appear the same (except for Sailor Venus changing time to time). Then why do Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury and Sailor Venus sound so different? Sailor Moon's the worse atm. I hope they get their voices back in check after a few episodes. :\

Nvm. I just saw a video pointing out their voices changed.

This episode was pretty good compared to a lot of season two. A ton of fanservice, for some reason, as well.

The Mars/Moon shipping was strong this episode.

if the rest of the season is as good as the first episode, i can see myself really enjoying sailor moon s.

new op animation (not sure how to feel about it right now), new enemies that appear to be stronger than dark kingdom, black moon clan and the aliens, new sailor senshi. pretty keen!

Sounds like the OP was sung by Ami (Aya Hisakawa)????

7 Senshi flying towards the moon is just so beautiful.

In Rei's dream, the crumbling and flying upwards bricks look like Utena's OP.

Tomoe's purple tubes looks so similar to Shizuma Drive in Giant Robo.

And the way Tomoe is mostly seen in silhouette and hidden in shadow contrasting with his bright glasses, look similar to the way Vogler is introduced in Giant Robo.

The best opening episode yet.
It's not just bringing out a random weak monster to start a new arc. Mikuji is actually very strong. She's fast, and brings down the Sailors quick. The fight is pretty intense. And all Mikuji's shouting Kyou Dai Kyou Butsumetsu actually works.
It's just the beginning and the Sailor has already felt somewhat powerless. That's good.

Will these people ever learn to talk about the visions in their dreams? Is it a Japanese thing to be reluctant to talk about dreams? Even so, this is a world where evil guys try to destroy humanity all the damn time and they can literally do magic. One would think they would have learned from their past experiences. It looks like this time the bad guy is a mad scientist, which is a fun new development. But at the same time we'll probably see the same old monsters-of-the-week again.

I do like the improved animation quality and while I probably prefer the original, the new OP is cool, too! The sailor soldiers got their asses handed to them in this pilot episode, which was really cool to see! It feels like the stakes are high this time around. Not even Tuxedo Mask could save them this time. And poor Rei got obliterated by the black boob beam of doom? Holy shit! I am sure those hidden sailor soldiers in the tree are not REALLY evil and just appear so... but damn. This promises to be a very interesting watch!

Let's see whether the fillers will be enjoyable or hot garbage, and if the conclusion to this story arc will be epic. I hope the bady guys get some characterization later on, or at least some motivation. I am pumped!

Much more stakes than R, everyone almost died in the first episode and everything. I like how they put the professor in silhouette unlike in the manga where you can see his face from day one but I think the design for the Daimons when not possessing something is much worse compared to the more horrific manga designs. Also, is the "pure hearts" things they're talking about the same as the hostes from the manga because they both seem to be souls?

Very high quality episode, it looked beautiful and the animation was the best of the series so far by some distance, and on top of that storytelling was engaging and emotionally impactful. If this keeps up, S is going to be the best season hands down.

They say this season is the best of this anime. I'm gonna dive in as an adult and see if it lives up to its reputation. Thanks to the Animage Grand Prix, I already know episode 21 does. That was an all timer anime episode for sure. Hopefully the rest of this season is somewhere near that quality. And with my handy dandy episode guide, I can skip the filler and go for the killer.

This episode was major whiplash. The animation was super simple, then all of a sudden hyper detailed. It was like watching Naruto part 1 when the animation went super saiyan for the fight scenes. Man, cel animation really is the best.

I only vaguely remember Sailor Moon from watching as a kid, but Usagi has a ton of charisma. Just as if not more so than most shonen protagonists. I guess she would have to in order for so many people to love her as much as they do.

Also, what a charming and uplifting ed song. I'm not a girl, but it must have felt great having songs like that to tell you everything will be ok. I'm starting to understand a teeny bit why Sailor Moon is such a big part of so many women's lives.
