To go along with this, what SHOULD have happened is
the shitennou should have rushed to Mamoru and Usagi along with the senshi. Then both groups would give up their lives to revive the two.

Yeahhhh that was bad. I assumed that they would head over to Mamaru and either be killed by him or something :/ Not just BOOM obliterated -_- To be honest, at first I was like "wait, did they die or just get transported? 0_o"

Ouch the budget really killed this episode, felt like they should have split this into two and given the 4 kings more screen time... instead of repeating the "oh we got our memories back" bit only to instantly obliterate them... :|
It's not a huge complaint especially not when compared to the animation/art nightmare, the actual story beats worked fairly well, just ugh hopefully they fix the crap out of this in the blu-ray. Mamo's Mr Fantastic arm was especially hilarious/bad

This week's episode was hot garbage.
Like they should have seriously not even bothered redoing the anime if they were going to cheap out on the budget the way they have here.
What a terrible disappointment.
This is making me nostalgic for Sailor Stars... and I HATE Sailor Stars.

The Nehelenia part of Stars was awesome imo. I'd take that over Crystal.

The original anime was incredibly cheap too, when you spend several minutes each week doing recycled attack and transformation animation your limited budget can go towards making everything else look half way decent. Crystal for better or worse isn't doing any stock animation outside of the transformations which this episode didn't even have that.

The budget wasn't the issue with this episode. It was all writing.

Outside of the handling of the 4 kings the writing was fine, say what you want usagi killing beryl...'s necklace really wasn't that terrible of a change and something you wouldn't notice if you didn't know. The awful animation is something anyone can notice and it further accents the strange writing choices

The emphasis on Usagi being strong and no longer being a "tragic princess" made her suicide laughable.

Sailor Moon Crystal 12
Stalker alert.
Kinda felt sorry for Beryl though. Other than that, lots of character die and Usagi wields a sword which doesn't turn out very well in the end

It's a literal translation of a classical Eastern concept.
You have to pre-order, and that website doesn't ship outside of Japan so you need to use a deputy/proxy service.

4 Divas sounds much worse then 4 kings <_<
So Aurora Peachy watched Act 12 and she hated the way the Shitenou died just much as I did, she actually paused the episode and ranted for a few minutes.
What I wanted to ask,mdo some of you watch people reacting to the show? I watch the reactions of Peachy, Omar and Spunky Bunny & Sailor Boy every week, it's fun to see people reacting to stuff while it's happening. Reading opinions is great too but there's just something special about spontaneous reactions.

Yeah, I have to say that when I, someone with bare bones knowledge of a few Japanese words and phrases picked up from subbed anime and from here and there, can still pick up that some subtitles are rather questionable then there's a problem.
Huh, I love them, can't get enough of them.

Word.
Keep in mind that Aurora Peachy is very emotional which can annoy some people but I thought her reaction to the death scene was awesome, primarily because it mirrored mine.
I agree that it's a little forced, reactors obviously play it up for the camera but otherwise they'd probably be silently watching except for the really big moments, while it's not exactly the same reactions they'd have without a camera present I still think it's spontaneous and that makes it worth it for me, they don't have the time to reflect on what happened, they can't take a look at the manga to quickly check what was changed etc.
I'm genuinely surpised no one seems to like those videos, I thought they'd be more popular.
I love those reaction vids.
Of course its a bit forced, what would be the point of an entertaining reaction video if the person just sits there and the only thing moving there are their eyes. Thats why I also love Blind Lets Plays, seeing (or hearing) the raw reaction to my fave moments intrigues me.

Its weird because I know so many irl friends who really enjoy Crystal then I go online and everyone hates it :|

It's not the worst thing in the world, but it's extremely disappointing. Between this and the Viz "remaster" it's a dark time for animated Sailor Moon, at least in the English speaking world.

27th, so we should know by tomorrow morning!

It's early morning there now. If it's an evening event, we won't find out anything for a while.
Edit: first show starts at 6pm, expected to last about 1 hour and 40 minutes.
Speaking of Digimon, I have a feeling Toei will at least bother to bring her back for that. Crystal just gets chipped.

That's what I keep saying!
It's pretty important to Usagi's development. But these are the same people complaining the inners aren't main characters...
Well, I guess Venus won't.
Not a fan of the above mentioned plot point, but I hate the Stars part even more where
Jupiter and Mercury get killed off WAY before Mars and Venus.
My poor fave Jupiter, always been shit on.
Anyway the trailer actually looks pretty good. Pluto looks good and sounds good. Don't care about Chibishit but maybe this adaptation will turn her around for me?
Also I LOVE how they closed the trailer by showing us that yes, reused stock animation will definitely be around for Crystal.
Yeah, that Stars plot line really felt like the Black Moon plot line again. Not to mention OOC behavior for Mamoru, although the anime had a lot more OOC behavior, and not just for Mamoru.

It seems like when you sit down and think about it sailor moon in almost any version has a lot of problems in its story and how it handles it's characters.
