Huh?? "My characters"?

Is this the same person that bad-mouthed the actual animation work in the movie/actually worked on it?
:loltext: Yes. I'm still perplexed why he said that. :sheep:

It’s been a while, moonies.

I’ve come to apologize. I am astonished Cosmos has not been released yet in the West and next month marks a year since the movie was released.

I apologize for telling you all to calm down and thinking it would be out before last Christmas. Truly I am in idealist. u_u
It's not your fault. You have so many pages that announced anything, Italian, Thai pages... When in fact, they knew nothing.

To be fair, I don't think everyone getting hysterical about the lateness would've helped in any way. :lol:
Neither calming down nor being hysterical would've helped - paraphrasing a communist saying: the course of history doesn't change according to man's will. :lol:

I wonder if the Spanish and the other dubs are happening simultaneously.

I suspect the film will be theatrically released in Latin America and other countries and only later become available on streaming.

His designs are way better than Tadano's... I still cannot believe how bad and spotty her art for Eternal and Cosmos is. He also makes the case that if the characters look pretty enough bubble hair can actually work.

He‘s a good artist. I think his designs are fresh. I just don‘t like that the faces look in some angles Tadano-esque (in the bad way) and the outers look too young for my taste. I‘m also not a fan of the bubbly hair highlights - but hey - i think it‘s his take on merging all Crystal designs and they look good, especially Moon (who always looked the worst in the reboot).

I'm probably one of the few who doesn't care for that image of his. It looks better than Crystal S1. The way he draws the eyes doesn't look like a good fit for all of them impo. Rei and Haruka for example look a little strange (to me).
I agree about the picture, but his character sheets are leagues above all of the Crystermos official ones. Dare I say this is the only time Ami's hair works in this style. Also Usagi looks both cute and beautiful in his style - bonus point for the eyes.

He really knows how to make them look cute and 14yo, yet elegant and modelesque.

The Moon design here is quite nice. The hair looks nearly identical to the Figuart they released of Crystal Moon, which was basically her hair looking its best in the show. Aka it rarely got to look like that.

I don't like Mercury's design.

I think Mercury‘s design looks more western influenced, like out of one of the cartoons produced in the west, that are heavily anime-inspired. While i think those designs work well, I personally prefer Sailor Moon designs when ephemeral shoujo meets bold shounen. Which is, I admit, quite of a challenge.

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE an anniversary anime project where all veterans from the 90s anime AND Crystal could create short films, based on the side stories or on original scripts. An anthology project with total creative liberty. Imagine Keiko Iwatas version for Casablanca Memories, a 3 minute clip by Hideaki Anno, an alternative 20min ending for the 90s anime directed by Sato, designed by Ikuko Itoh… so many options!

Anno can redo Stars.
