I don’t understand though why one transformation shows the hair color and the other doesn’t. It’s like there are two different henshin concepts (animators?). It’s all like a big potpourri.
They needed to colorize these two... things so you can get it is hair :D

I guess we ll have first the “Moon Eternal, Make Up” transformation and then the “Silver Moon Crystal Power make up”…
Finally maybe also an explanation about why Takeuchi choose in the first chapter to change Silver Moon to Moon Eternal in the mange reddition.

Nope, it's another transformation. You can see how the background is totally different.
This one looks complete ( has all the shots that make their costume appear ) and both transformation have shown how the gloves and the wings appear so It doesn't make sense they make it appear 2 times in the same sequence xD
Ah, interesting. Then she has two different transformation sequences? That’s the only explanation for that.

It's not just you. I immediately thought it was a little too erotic for Sailor Moon. It's more of a Cutie Honey transformation.
yeah true. I’m use to 90’s anime with breasts barely visible and where her “vagina” (sorry don’t how how I can name otherwise) was not really perceptible.

it’s not bad it’s just I’m not used to it ^_^' make me think also of Papillon Rose Transformation at the end

Moon Eternal Make Up draws the power of other Senshi while Silver Moon Crystal Power Make up! is her transformation without the help of other senshi.

I had the same thought too. This kinda makes me more hopeful they will keep the bed scene lol. Also I can see them keeping naked Usagi in the last moments against Chaos, except for a butt shot they can easily censor it is not nearly as long as or revealing like the nudity in ep 200
By the way I like it, it is not amazing but at least they tried something different and I appreciate it. I really liked the Crystal mixed 90's musics though and I wish they gave the composer this direction si ce the start.

The nudity of the 200 is very limited. For 10 minutes she is naked, in front of the warriors, in front of the Starlights, in front of the other humans, and in front of her boyfriend when they haven't yet taken the sexual leap...

The nudity of the 200 has always been an issue for me.

It's very funny how controversial it's become in the later years. I've seen Japanese Twitter users mention "was this okay to air??" and it's been heavily censored in other countries even recently. It was definitely the animator's "last hurrah" since it was the finale. I also think it was to prepare the public for a new Cutie Honey series lol.

I don't have any issues with that. People who have issues with that it's because they see it from a sexual point of view when it's totally the opposite: We come in this world naked and our natural form is with no clothes on so... it's the point they meant to use: Usagi is alone, with no weapons ( Galaxia destroyed both the wand and the sword ), no material stuff over her. Her most pure form and her only way left to fight.

Also: she was naked before several years ago in the same show. In the 2nd R opening you can see her totally naked ( with boobs + ass ), same with the S one, the SuperS opening, etc... How was people surprised to see her naked in the ep 200? xD

So still no Galaxia or the Animamates but we got Eternal Sailor Moons transformation instead

I think it's cute and the music isn't that bad at all to me. The Sailor Chorus doesn't sound extremely irritating and I like how they keep it simple and cute and not 15 minutes of spiraling and feathers. My favorite parts is when she leans back and let the ribbons wrap her torso.

It's not spectacular but it works and doesn't look bad at all. It gets to the point so we can get to the action. The drawings are not as elegant as the 90's but that's fine. Imma be real honest...I'm tired and I just want it all done with.

I really like how the chorus starts up. It sounds ethereal at the beginning and it has the 90's spirit in there. The director knows exactly what made Sailor Moon popular, the 90's anime.

As someone else mentioned when she finishes, I noticed that her breast size jumped up real quick. So much talent, so little time.

I don't see nudity as a sexual thing at all. Just that I'm not a fan of seeing people naked, or in TV shows, or whatever.

Probably because it was never for such an extended period of time. Usagi is nude for a good portion of the second half of the episode.

And while I think the nudity in Sailor Moon is usually done in a tasteful way, it wouldn't surprise me if there was some sort of alternative motive for certain series. I do think episode 200 was a classic example of "hey it's the last episode let's do whatever we want!"

Just to be clear, I don't have an issue with nudity in Sailor Moon.

Ami was pretty much naked for a while as well. If you really think about it. The S series, many of the Daimon were quite sexual, especially the Mimete ones. I remember when Kaolinite first appeared and the way her breast are trying to escape her dress are no joke.


I didn't really find the nudity in episode 200 to be too much. At the time I was shocked but you know...where I'm from they have a "nudity" is bad kind of thing. It's funny how excessive violence is accepted quicker than nudity is in most places too.

As someone mentioned, it does have a slight Cutey Honey transformation hint to it...I feel like someone has been reading my posts because I remember writing in a thread about how would you rewrite Sailor Moon and I mentioned, for her transformations to be more like Cutey Honey.

In all, the reception of the transformation seems to be extremely positive so far online. That's a good sign.

It’s really nice to know that we’ll be treated to different sequences for Sailor Moon’s transformation considering how much Kon loved repeating stock footage.. sometimes within the same scene.

Also I really love the transformation bgm. It’s a nice homage to the ‘90s anime while still keeping in the composer’s style.
