The different variations and animations of the Lip Rod scene :kiss:
Man, I wish the Inners got theirs too...
What happened Bandai?!?! We all know, every little girl would have bought them all! :circles:
And even while also being an Outer, Saturn has never shown hers too. :(

Have you ever thought of making a video version of that Animators Chart? Like, a video compilation showing short clips by each of the animation directors Sailor Moon had? Okay, probably too much trouble for what is basically a thankless task, but it would be nice to see...
This is not a clip video but a playlist , but is the nearest thing we have on youtube.
if you click the channel and search in the playlist section you will find the full playlist.

plus that , it doesnt have all the animators.

Outer Space
There is a scene that I think is fluid, if I can remember correctly. It's in S when Usagi first transforms with the Cosmic compact.

The scene between the borderline perverted cat diamon (I think her name is Neko Nell or something like that) and the little girl, and the diamon tries to use its tail to wrap the girl by the neck. I liked all those scenes where the cat diamon appears and that entire sequence and thought they looked good from what I can remember.

Staying on the topic of the Outers' Henshins, even though they are quite basic, they are all 3 so well animated and full of small subtilties!

Love how Haruka's body stretches as she swifts around the Lip Rod with energy :kiss:


Interestingly, all 3 of the Outers start with a similar scene to this with their Orb close to their face making a stylish movement.




Dang, those legs!




A very manga like shot (again, all 3 of the Outers share this singular type of shot).






Ever wondered what happens to the Lip Rod? She just lets it fall down on the ground :P




Interestingly, both Uranus and Neptune share this similar type of choreography at the end of their Henshins with the movement of their arms.
However, Uranus ends her henshin with crossing her arms, while Neptune spreads hers.

While Haruka's Henshin exudes power and energy, Michiru's permeates grace and elegance :mihiru:

Similar shot of Haruka's






This portion is my favorite - the way her whole body moves, the way her arms levitate - it's like she is doing a ballet dance under water.



Also the hair!


Similarly to Haruka, that peculiar manga like shot of the footage





Akin to Haruka, a very similar choreography with her arms




Also thigh gap! :zoid:

She looks like a fairy performing a magic show under water :wow:

With Setsuna, in turn, she gives out sensuality and maturity! :setsuna:
Without surprise, her stock is not only the best animation-wise and choreography-wise but it has also the best art :kiss:



Similar shot to both Haruka's and Michiru's



The hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Compared to her two companions, Setsuna has more than one of those manga-like shots






Other manga-like shots (to clarify when I mention these 'manga-like' shots, I don't mean they necessarily resemble Takeuchi's art but rather they look like they were ripped out of a classic shoujo manga)



I take the world into my arms...



Absolutely flawless!
The way she moves, the way her hands hide her body, the mysticism in her movements, her hair!!!! (insert Winx song: Don't touch the hair!)

Tankei Kingdom, Kinmoku
The way she moves, the way her hands hide her body, the mysticism in her movements, her hair!!!!
It's simply breathtaking. It required such a high level of talent and craftsmanship to pull it off. To make the hair and the anatomy look right in all those different angles and perspectives, particularly during that aerial shot, is incredibly impressive.

The Death of Uranus and Neptune. :haruka::mihiru:

The obligatory wet scene in a Mari Tominaga episode [how many of her episodes in particular have that?]


They're so deeply in cousins with each other.


The girls being sad and stuff


Background Aestetic


::love:::usagi:



- Neptune is not amused

-Usagi wondering why a landing platform for a helicopter at an aquarium is there.

These next frames go by super-fast.


- Neptune does this sick flip

There's also the part where they're "punished by God"

The last few frames since I'm only allowed 20. Looking at these actually reminded me of Cardcaptor Sakura




Also some gifs
