Season 4 movies update: Sailor Moon Eternal - Delayed to 2021 (Part 1 on January 8th & Part 2 on February 11th)

Another fun fact to notice: Venus no longer has the chain belt on herself. Guess it must be due to her being upgrade that she no longer has it in universe.

yep! she never wears the rose chain and seems to just summon it a la sailor moon when she needs to attack

The song its very 90's anime, so I guess it fits the mood

So it is not just MomoClo, but also Crystal cast singing the new song. Finally.

Just the Inners.
According to Amazon, there will be a BD disc released with the combo. I wonder what it is. Scenes extracted from the movie? Or a brand new MV like Moon Pride?

Yeah, I think Crystal Cast is how they call the inners on music albums, like in the Anniversary Tribute. I doubt they will do MV like for Moon Pride.

This time they only release BD, not DVD. That means there must be something SPECIAL like Moon Pride (Moon Pride didn't have a DVD, only CD and CD + BD)

I noticed a lot of comments have this opinion and I can see where they are coming from. Personally I like the change of pace and have no problem with it being the opening. A lot of great anime have wonderful slow-pace openings and a movie will have a longer opening to support this. I do hope that they have some high-energy music/songs later though, and less "epic fake-choir" music would be nice too.

True. I'm hoping maybe they use Kakumei wa Night & Day, that is my favorite image song from Crystal, or maybe use stuff like A Touch of Rain (Crystal Ami/Mercury's image song) for like, say, scenes of Ami's backstory or like an instrumental when she meets Guardian Mercury (the chibi version of her who gave her the Mercury Crystal Power brooch, and I'd love to see those open up like Moon's brooches, imagine that).

Apperantly Naoko wrote the lyrics for the song once again. I have a good feeling about it. Now trailer and international release on Crunchyroll please, because waiting is getting bad. You got theme song, put some opening to it and release 8 episides.

 

[Crystal Moon]

I hope that it will become a TV series later, because the two characters were on Toei's TV series calendar.

It’s kinda bizarre looking at them. Crystal s1 looks very sloppy but dynamic. Eternal looks clean but a bit stiff.If the hair was more dynamic and the faces less round I’d clearly call Eternal the winner.

The new song is nice, catchy in its own way!

At least now they don't look like scrabbles of a kid in the poses. I wish the faces were a bit slimmer though. Maybe for Stars.

I also pray that for Stars the producers will evaluate all 3 past designs and combine the good elements of them all.

The colors look way more saturated, compared to the first trailer. It might be just me. Overall the more I see the better it looks. I have a feeling they will keep Nehelenia for part 2 though. Fingers crossed for an actual trailer.

 

[DREWdesu]

Love the theme and the little previews of the henshin/speech poses and Venus's wink. Its so weird that the designs look much cleaner before despite making the cast look like they de-aged at the same time.

I love how Minako's hair has that pretty volume in the new pose. Too bad it won't be consistently like this. It looks gorgeous on her.

It seemed that way to me, too. I like it.

Her kaleidoscope may be crooked but I love the bubbly effect on it. So pretty.

her skirt looks like hisashi kagawa made it.

And the song has the same composer with "Gekkou" - Crystal ED 1.

So it's Akiko Kosaka (La Soldier, Moon Revenge, Tuxedo Mirage, etc.) Nice!

It must not have been that big of a deal if you didn't even notice it at first. I'd be much more worried over the weirdly-timed animation in that shot instead.
(Also, doesn't Riccardo Bacci trace over official art and shots, copy-paste Ikuko Itoh's faces onto them, and sell them on his own merchandise?)

I just looked through his work and yikes. Lol it’s hard to really call any of it original art or even a redraw when it’s such blatant tracing.
