CardCaptor Sakura is love and is created by the almighty Clamp. I don't really think Naoko Takeuchi can compare, her other work doesn't really interest me.

The original anime really does suffer from the monster of the day filler. Hopefully following the manga more closely means it won't be so long and also better.

Opening is called Moon Pride. As you all probably know by now it's sung by MomoClo. It's composed by Revo of Linked Horizon.
 
Ending is Tsuki Niji. Also sung by MomoClo. No clue who composed.

I can only imagine what "Rainbow Moon" sounds like.

I am super duper excited for this even though I will probably put it off until a good chunk of episodes have been released.
 
Nostalgia makes me prefer the old art much more. The new design reminds me of those dolls that I can't remember the name of.

4 minute preview (opening + transformation)

I'm not too impressed with the CG, and neither is the Internet it seems.

And I don't know what event this was but the background noises will leave you wanting to murder all swooning fangirls by the end. :pirate:

They used the same voice actor as the original for Usagi, right? Then why is her voice so damn annoying this time around?


I like the intro, and the transformation started out nice, but the cg seemed kind of shitty and low quality. :/

So they reanimated the old transformation sequence with CG.


Why do animaters keep doing this? :/ CG does NOT meld well with hand drawn art unless it's very very subtle. And there's no way that would ever trump the original, but I guess you can't mess with perfection.


Considering that Usagi's transformation sequences are already huge money and time savers because it's 3 minutes of every episode that only needs to be animated once, I don't see why they'd skimp on that.

The only show I've actually liked the CG in was Love Live since its not so in your face.

I thought it starts airing on Monday.
 
And I was just looking on iTunes for Shoko Nakagawa songs and I found there's a 20th anniversary Sailor Moon album on there with Shoko, MomoClo, and Tommy Heavenly6 on it.

Just watched it on Hulu. Overall it was good, but you can tell they cut corners. I dislike the use of the 3D models in the opening they just seem off compared to the style being animated. 
It's basically an animated version of the manga, minus some of the flair and creative licence that the original anime had. There's a lack of emotion I see that I hope will go away over time. (The way the eyes are animated, they seem really dead to me? I don't know how to explain it.)

I like the ending much more than the opening. MomocloZ are better as a unit with slow songs, for me at least.

I don't mind the CG transformation, but it seems inconsistent that the transformation would be CG, but their special attacks are hand drawn. Hopefully they'll replace the transformations if enough people complain, especially in this era of massive animation quality shifts between the aired TV version and the blu-ray releases.

Just watched it on Hulu, also. Watched the new one, then watched the original, and then read the respective manga chapter. Overall I'm disappointed. I agree about the eyes. The CG..... when I was watching the preview I didn't mind it, but when it was thrown into the anime I didn't like it at all.

Their faces in general just seem emotionless especially on the weird parts where they just have a shot of their face for several seconds. I like the eyes...but a little emotion would be nice. I wouldn't mind the CG if it didnt seem so low quality. Her transformation just seems cheaply animated.

The new anime, first impression, has a problem with tone - it isn't funny at all or warm but airy and stylized, which I guess isn't necessarily a bad thing but not MY thing.  The framed introductions of characters felt so weirdly flat, like it was some kind of dating sim instead of letting the characters fill themselves out through speech and interactions.  And while I don't mind the new look, it felt like Usagi was in a constant state of open mouthed confusion with her agog eyes and weird little gaping mouth.  
 
Overall, it was practically the manga, panel for panel.  This is largely why watching the show was soo bizarre.  It felt like an elaborate fan art re-drawing compilation instead of a reboot.  Again, this isn't a bad thing.  It was fun for me to see small changes (chicken alarm clock now a regular one) and small consistencies (bunny-moon print bedspread is the same).
 
All complaints aside, I loved it and will watch and rewatch it.

I went and looked at the manga a couple of weeks ago for the first time in years and it made me realize that story choices aside, I enjoy the original anime much more than I do the manga.

Me too! There is a lot of silhouette art for sm merchandise that resembles te black Utena art.


But Utena was supposed to be stark and ultra stylized so it fits. It was weird seeing that in Sailor Moon.

I still haven't watched the first episode yet but I just saw SailorMoon's new transformation clip and all I can say is 'WTF is that??' That CG is just awful. It looks like I'm watching a blythe doll transform.

I remember they went 3D with Kirarin Revolution, effectively ruining the rest of the series. Can't think of any others, though.

A lot of mecha anime use CG with hand drawn animation over it for all the technology stuff and it doesn't look bad. Not quite the same for living characters though.

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.
