I think some people took the criticisms of the theme song/music as criticism of the whole venture, somehow.

I had a rambling post and lost it so fuck you all. But the gist was my post wasn't directed to anyone in particular. It included reactions people has outside of BG.
Ep1
That was actually better than I was expecting. I haven't watched Sailor Moon in 15 years so the introduction is welcomed but the biggest problem The quality for the show is ALL OVER THE PLACE. you'd think with such a big title as Sailor Moon they would put their best animators.

I wouldn't have minded the CG transformation sequence if I didn't watch all the amazing ones they done for pretty cure....
I enjoyed it and from what I understand from paying very little attention to it; it's gonna follow the manga closely ala FMA:Brohood?
Either way, I haven't watched anime since Gundam Unicorn (as I rarely have time to honestly) but I'll be watching this just because childhoooooood. I still remember Sailor Moon being one of the first anime on toonami in the afternoons, so this has my attention. <3
The transformation sequence may have had some meh CG, but they still made it ultra fabulous which is what it has to be.
Awesome. I"m hoping they have the same success with it as Brotherhood had on the FMA side.
Yes, it's VERY close to the manga.(I just watched it on CR, I'll check Viz's translation a little later...I wanted to watch it the first time with no ads since I have access to a paid CR account) Oh and for those wondering why Usagi is the same voice actor in both animes; I don't remember where I read this, the site where I found this information might even be lost to time, but Naoko Takeuchi reportedly loved the original voice actor's voice for Usagi. I think some of the original voice actors are dead of course (been too long) so they had to rep some folks.
But there's a reason the voice is the same. With the author all up in this, she'd of prolly requested the original voice actor for Usagi...
Anyway even tho I have the manga rereleases, I think this is going to be fun.
I think having the original voice actress adds a nice sense of nostalgia and familiarity for those of us who are fans of the original series. There's a lot that is different and will take some adjusting to.
The only voice actress/actor I heard of who passed away was Sailor Star Fighter/Seiya, have there been others?
There might of been, I haven't paid attention; but you can proly find out on Moon Chase. That site was formed to keep track of the voice actors. ^^
But yeah; I think some died and some weren't available. ^^ But so far I don't mind. ^^
I'm not underselling it -- in fact I love it, and going to miss it very much. And it is very cheesy; the music embodies the very culture of the late 80s/early 90s, which is not a bad thing at all. Every cheracter had a theme, every theme was hum-able or singable. Henshin transformation themes were also hyper memorable and got you pumped.
I'm more so a fan of 80s/90s music in anime (and in general) than in this current era. However, I will call it as I see it, and much of the score in the beginning of the PGSM anime was very cheesy and kamen-riderish. In that it's as memorable as the themes in PGSM itself.
Sorry if it came off as condescending.
is the only way to see it by signing up on Nico Nico? What other sources is everyone using?
I watched it on Hulu
^Check Tokyo Toshokan.
First ep was...okay. The animation was good. I really REALLY think they should have recast Usagi's seiyuu. The voice they're using fit a lot better with the animation style the first series used. Now that the style is following the manga closer, hearing that highpitched grating coming out of such a pretty character just seems completely out of place. She does need a voice that can portray her clumsy and whiny personality, but I think Mitsuishi could have turned it down just a bit this time around. That's really my only major complaint after the CG transformation.
HorribleSubs translation really is horrible, worst rush job I've seen in a while. Not sure who else would be doing a better job though.
I watched it on both Hulu/Neonalley and CR. Here's CR's link since CR is available in more places.
http://www.crunchyroll.com/sailor-mo...or-moon-656623
And please, horriblesubs?! Bleh. I'd rather do official if it's available myself. Strangely you don't seem to need prenimum to watch teh first ep, but if you hate ads, pay the $10..Or PM me. I think Neko(that's my brother; he owns the CR account I use) wouldn't mind and he has some trial premium codes for Crunchyroll going begging...(Edit: He has 4 of them(CrunchyRoll All Access Guest Passes, that is) going begging right now. I won't post them here but if you want one, just PM me.)
Anyway, the official subs are just fine, I saw one glaring grammar/funkeh error but that was it.
I don't need the subs myself but my bf does, and he's not into Sailor Moon quite enough to give a shit about a few bad translations xD Was just warning anyone else off them if they went that route.
Gotcha, Silenka. Tho yeah, I'm still willing to offer those guest passes to anyone here who hates ads and would like to watch it in higher quality than NicoNico. No strings attached, and I'm not selling these; this is just to help folks out. Mind they only last 48 hours but for a try out it is worth it. Me and my brother have gotten some really good use out of premium on CR. (He's been a member for 3-4 years now? If I move out I'm paying for it!)
Just pm me. first 4 to do it get codes.
I checked out that website, the only other Japanese voice actor who is mentioned having passed away is Malachite's. There isn't anything posted for Sailor Star Fighter, though that was from a really long time ago, iirc.
When I was watching the episode, I got halfway through before I realized the subtitles were off >_> I didn't hear anything that sounded like a reason as to why Mamoru was dressed all fancy... Not that I was hoping for his old purple-pants-black-shirt-green-coat ensemble.
I just realized that the worst part about this new series is that there is going to be a ton of new SM merchandise out there that I'm going to need to not buy for myself. D: I still have a bunch of the moon scepters, transformation brooches, sticker cards/trading cards, etc safely tucked away in a large waterproof plastic container...
