Season 3 pretty much reverses everything I thought about the reboot. It was actually a treat to watch the show. The first improvement was replacing the opening with something better. I didn't like the opening of Season 1, Moon Pride, because it had silly lyrics like, "we don't need no men to solve our problems." I don't think those are completely accurate but I think it's close and dumb. While the openings will never be as good as the original series Moonlight Legend, or Makenai, I don't think there's any way those songs could be topped in the first place, so why even bother trying to compete. The music is also really good. The music is actually really good.
The first thing I noticed is that the animation quality is quite a bit better. While not everything has to be fluid, especially scenes where someone is talking a lot. It does help with action scenes, and that was something that was sorely lacking in season 1.
This show feels like watching a legend being written, and that's because the direction is much better and more coherent. The stakes become really high as Sailor Moon and her coterie try to prevent Master Pharaoh 90 and his devious plots from succeeding. They also have to prevent the awakening of Sailor Saturn, the guardian of destruction, from showing up and bodybagging everybody on both sides.
The only real problem I found with this show is the subcast of the Witches 5. I found their dialogue of talking about levels, like it was an RPG, and the general fact that they were just fodder for Sailor Moon to brutally murder with her love and affection, to be annoying. They were the least developed of any of the villains and I feel just wasted a lot of time.
