[quote="Shoujo Q"]
I for one hate anime CG. It's so tacky looking. The transformation didn't bother me. It was the OP that bothered me. What exactly was the point of using CG in the opening shot when the rest of it wasn't? 


They obviously wanted to bring more to the transformation, make it more three dimensional. It was a cheap way of doing it. (Getting more bang for your buck.) I'm super worried about the attacks now. And I'm talking about the big ones that tend to show more pomp and flare. 
 
At lot of anime's that require dancing have CG in them. AKB0048, and Love Live (Example of the anime and CG in one) come to mind.

I just saw the full episode and I liked it overall, but that transformation sequence is such a damn shame.
 
Also, I don't know why but I just do not like Mamoru right off the bat. I don't remember feeling any particular way about him as a kid, but he makes me roll my eyes. I even get the feeling he's BETTER here than he was in the anime a decade ago, but maybe I just don't like him to begin with.

Anime Mamoru was the worst character ever. They really need to pump up his back story and make sure he's not wearing the same outfit for the entire run of the series and I'm sure I'll like him.

Considering how it went in the manga/live action series where I actually liked him.
 
 
But considering this is the 1st arc. I guess we'll be drowning in angst by the end of the series.

I'm watching the original as Viz is putting them up on Hulu, and I really can't stand that version of Mamoru anymore. The anime butchered him (and their relationship) so badly.

As for the attacks, keep in mind that Moon is the only one who will be seeing action in almost every episode, so we won't be seeing much of the other attacks anyway.

Here's a clip from the new official English dub.  I like Usagi's voice, but Luna's voice is just off to me for some reason.

Usagi's voice is great. I kind of feel the same way you do about Luna, but it's not bad at all.
 
Here's a clip showing Beryl and Jaedite's voices.
 
I think Beryl's voice is very well casted.

I love the new dub voices quite a lot, and it's the same with me, hahaha, I feel Luna's off. I like her voice as well, but I think it's just that I'm so used to hearing old British Luna in English that hearing younger Luna is odd.

I think Luna sounds fine? I forgot her old dub voice had a British accent until arco just mentioned it, so maybe that's why I can so easily adjust to new Luna.
 
I was surprised they made Usagi sound so similar to her Japanese actress, but yep, everything sounds good.

I was wondering who Usagi's new VA is. It's Stephanie Sheh. She's done Inoue in Bleach, Hinata in Naruto, Eureka from Eureka Seven, Yui from K-on, and Asahina in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Apparently Luna's new VA is Michelle Ruff, and according to comments on YT, she was someone in Bleach as well?

She was Rukia in Bleach. She also did the following:
Chi and Freya in Chobits
Tsukasa in Lucky Star
Cossette in Le Portrait de Petit Cossette
Miki in Marmalade Boy
And not anime, but she also did Katherine in the videogame Catherine.
 
I went ahead and looked up the rest too.
 
Mercury is voiced by Kate Higgins:
Karin, Nanao and Retsu in Bleach
C.C in Code Geass
Saber in Fate/stay night
Hisui in Tsukihime
 
Mars is voiced by Cristina Vee:
Nanoha in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
Kanaria in Rozen Maiden
Morgiana in Magi: Magic of the Labyrinth
Mio in K-on
 
Jupiter is voiced by Amanda Miller, who seems to be very new. But she did Junko and Toko from Danganronpa (and I think she did a great job with both) as well as Mages from Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory. She also did Megumi in Accel World.
 
Venus is voiced by Cherami Leigh:
Itsuki in Corpse Princess
Road in D.Gray-man
Beatrice in Gunslinger Girls
Sae in Peach Girl
Primula in Shuffle!
 
And we'll end it there to keep the list from being too long. But Viz didn't skimp on the casting.

Episode 2 - Ami Appears and so does Queen Beryl. Both of which have new voice actresses. 
 
And what I was afraid of has begun to happen. The standard animation, is not good. They put the quality of the still shots up so much that the filler shots just don't match up.
Spoiler: [+]

I really hate Toei. 25 years and they still half ass their animation.

I really like Ami's new voice, she's adorable! But I agree on the half-assed animation, it was quite off-putting for me on a LOT of parts, since the hype they built up with the promo shots was big.
 
I'm most curious to hear Rina Satou's Mars. I've heard her in a lot of anime, but of all people to be Mars, she's one of my last choices, so I'm definitely wanting to see how that'll go.

I haven't even watched it yet (2nd episode). I'm just not interested at all. I'll go back to watching the original, thank you.

So far they are sticking with the manga. It's interesting seeing it without any fillers in between. (Original had 6 episodes before Ami appeared.) 
 
But there's a year's worth of anime this series is going to have (26 episodes, Original Manga had 13 chapters), so they are either going to beef up some parts. (Sailor V Please!) Or go into a new direction. (Dark Mercury?) 
 
It'll be interesting to see what they do. 


And just so you know, I complained about the artwork in the original series too. That's just something I do. (I really REALLY hate Toei Animation) xD The original series had some questionable art as well. It wasn't till later series that it got better. (And even then they cut corners!)

I generally don't like old-styled anime's because of the drawing style, but there's just something about the original Sailor Moon that I can forgive. Thanks for all your continual input though, Q!
 
Edit: Finally watched it. At least the CG was done better on Mercury.

There are hints that they could do the Black Moon arc. At 1 episode per chapter, that's exactly 26.

Say what you will about the CGI, but Rei's transformation looked BADASS!
 
Also, three episodes in and I can safely say the translation is pretty poor. It's not so much that it's wrong, but they leave out a lot of what's actually being said. Keeping it simple so kids can read it maybe?
