Takahashi wasn't the animation director for that episode. He did one before it, though.
I know but all of these perfectly shows all the flaws of his style.
After we've seen so many gorgeous frames lately, this looks like it is from an early version.

Honestly, we have seen worse in s 3.But yes, there will be some slips. At least it is not a close-up.

Since hell will freeze over before we get any kind of new stories from Sailor Moon, this almost feels like practice for when they finish Stars and decide to reanimate the first three seasons of Crystal as movies (provided, of course, if Eternal and the Stars adaptation is successful enough!).
I don't think they will reanimate Crystal but make a competely new series in 15 years - 20 years.
We need someone who really understands, really loves Sailor Moon to write the script.
I won't mind them using stock footage, if the footage is new, separate from both 90s and Crystal.

Honestly, if Eternal does well I can totally see TOEI re-animating the previous seasons as movies. And then re-re-animating them again a few years later in 3D. And then again in 4D. The manga faithfulness would be off the charts.

I am scared of the prospect anime switch entierly to 3D. I doubt it as people seem to not like CGI anime that much. But I am all in for a set of movies with the Eternal treatment. Sadly, I don't see it happening. I still hope Eternal to be successful. With movies it is a lot mor transparent whether they are successful at the box office.

3D anime is fine if it's just a 10 minute short anime in Universal.
Making the whole 2 hour 3D movie. Impossible. Character expression is so stiff.

Ok great, look awesome, but can we talk about Michiru's hair. Is she going to sport longer hair in the end? Or is her hair magical now? Still gorgeous redraw from season 3. I guess the merch design was done a long time ago and they have redo her design.
This is from the flashback from S3. She obviously got a haircut after. What‘s the problem? This is fanservice for those who prefer her with longer hair PLUS it is a tribute to Takahashi‘s chara design. I find this cool and consistent!

Can we talk about how good Saturn looks in that picture?

She looks amazing. And yes, it might be the case. I can see it is a redraw, but I still hope she will have this longer haircut. Her hair never looked this good in s3
