    New Takeuchi’s artbook « Sailor Moon Raisonné » released in April 2024

    These are so cute. Simple but very competent designs that would’ve been great for animation. It still has a sort of shoujo manga design while still looking modern. Definitely should’ve been used for the remake instead of trying to copy the 2013-14 style.

    The only time they got it right. I don’t mind Akira’s take on the Outers but his Michiru just.. wasn’t there. Why does it lay on her head like a huge drag queen wig?

    No one draws it better than Tamegai. Also those sharp Utena noses ::love::

    The 2nd arc fighting scenes is the major flaw of COSMOS(manga arc)

    Naoko should’ve gone through with making Ami a cyborg. Actually, make them all cyborgs who live to serve Usagi’s wishes because that’s basically what they end up being :P What was the point of the dream arc when we know and they know (by this point) that their human lives are over and are...

    I hate how Michiru-Sama’s hair looks so busted 90% of the time in the reboot. it’s supposed to be a sharp wave but just looks like clumps of puke seaweed in Crystal:P

    I wanna shine a light on Kazuya Kuroda He only did 2 episodes during the S season (103 and 108 ) and it’s such a shame they didn’t keep him around. I love his varied shots and the animation was always fluid and fun, as well as the gag faces. Could’ve been one of the best had he stuck around.

    Kagawa was by far the most consistent. He started off as probably the best animator/AD and kept that consistency until the end.

    Best 3D transformation in Sailor Moon

    I really hate the proportions of Usagi in the Crystal henshin. Also the faces for all of them just give this ‘dead behind the eyes look.’ They all look like they’ve taken one too many Xanex pills. Also why are their chins some damn pointy? The choreography for Moon isn’t all that bad but it’s...

    What fun things do you know about Sailor Moon from the way it is presented in other languages (besides English and Japanese)?

    Due to sensitivities surrounding the colonization of Korea by Japan before and during WWII the South Korean government had banned Japanese-language products and movies until the end of the 90’s. Therefore, apparently -any- scene that involved the Hikawa shrine/ Rei in her miko outfit was cut...

    The Mars shot is super nice. Too bad like you said Hasegawa’s art tends to fluctuate in quality pretty wildly. Then you have SuperS which is.. yeah

    Sailor Moon Art Director motifs

    Have they been credited as such or is this an educated guess? Makes sense though. Kagawa’s cut at the start is super fluid and the perspective on the rod? It’s difficult to pull off. Also paired with the 18th Century Rococo SFX just hits the spot. Hasegawa’s cut is nice too. I like the thicker...

    Can someone tell me what episode this screenshot is from?

    The kanji says 十番 something 病院. Not sure what the middle kanji is. So Juuban.. something.. Hospital. Maybe check an episode where a hospital is featured? Edit: the middle kanji means ‘general’

    I have to be honest, the super dilated pupils with the black accents always made them look too cracked up for my tastes :P

    Also, Masahiro Ando is objectively NOT a bad animator/artist. His style suits the comedic/slide of life episodes of the show perfectly. It’s just.. his style didn’t really evolve with the show. When everyone else was trying to stay on-model and give their best Ikuko impression in SuperS Ando was...

    I don’t hate it. He has a knack from action/dynamic framing. I just don’t think it goes with the overall ‘vibe’ of the anime. I’d contest it looks more like Naoko’s work when people also say Tadano’s early work also give Takeuchi vibes. Naoko’s work varies too wildly to have a ‘one style suits...

    The Moon Pride MV

    I’m guessing the thinking at the time was that the 3D elements could help replicate the more shoujo-esque style of Naoko’s work in anime form because they probably knew already by this point that they didn’t have enough resources/time/money to recreate it in a hand-drawn format. Since they’d...
