Fascinating as watching a Glenn Danzig movie like Verotika or Death Rider in the House of Vampires can be, meaning that this badly animated and awfully "written" movie is just a glorious, laughable trainwreck of epic proportions which only redeeming factor (the reason why I didn't give this a 1 but a 2) is that Kotono Mitsuishi IS Usagi Tsukino and always will be, no matter the quality of the material she's voicing or not. For the rest, if you have a particular fetish for the incomprehensible mess of the Sailor Moon terrible manga in terms of "lore" or "character development" (?) and you thinkthe sparse 90's masterpiece fanservice is enough to satiate your needs to remember when the IP actually had an impact for people all around the world even years after the series ended (I myself became a moonie only a few years ago thanks to the anime), you might find this up your alley. If you don't, leave this alone without regrets. Hell, even if you're into the Super Sentais (the ones from which the entirety of the IP spawned in the first place together with the magical girls) and tokusatsus in general, leave this thing alone with no regrets whatsoever and go straight to watch the real japanese-made superheroics cosmos, Ultraman Cosmos. You won't miss anything.

I actually watched this back in August with bells on and just forgot to post here because I really enjoyed this two part movie event. Stars is not my favorite Sailoor Moon arc, but I don't dislike it. I think that Takeuchi really piled on the drama for this arc and wanted to bring us something different than previous arcs in the series. Once again, I think that the SMC team really did a good job with the manga material and made things engaging and fun to revisit. It reminded me of everything I enjoy about Sailor Moon. The characters, the stakes, and the romance.All of my qualms with this adaptation were qualms I carry over from being a fan of the manga. While I really love that Sailor Moon is pushed to her limits, at times the story feels a little slow and sometimes entrenched within itself. However, the finale makes up for it and it was nice to see such care and respect given to the source material once again. If you enjoyed the previous offerings in the Sailor Moon Crystal adaptation of the manga, then you will enjoy this too. If you prefer the original anime to the manga, then this might be disappointing. I had a lot of fun and I'll probably watch it again sometime when I feel like doing an SMC rewatch in the future.

eh first half was incredibly fast paced and a bit unpleasant to sit through, and if i wasnt aware of the series at all, i wouldve dropped it. 2nd half was very good, but honestly watching this all made me wish that it was a tv series instead of a movie. The buildup to that final fight with Chaos would've been incredible. All in all, as a long time sailor moon fan, the journey of watching the Crystal reboot since 2014 has been a very bumpy ride. I guess i'm glad the manga finally got an adaptation, but I wish Toei could've treated it with more careand dignity than it actually got. If you're a long time fan, i'd recommend watching, but if you're new to the sailor moon franchise you'll be incredibly lost and you'll probably have an easier time getting into it by just reading the manga (if you want all the dark goodness without a weirdly done animation adaptation) or diving into the 90s anime and getting a fun campy experience.

Halloween wouldn’t’ve been complete without this scare. It’s weird they decided to milk nostalgia now by using Moonlight Densetsu in the opening. Again, I ask why did the 20th anniversary project turn into the 30th anniversary project, with the constant delays and gaps?? It's beyond embarassing. It’s weird Haruka and Michiru have this much screen time. However it’s left unexplained why Haruka accepts to wear a girl’s school uniform. And whether Seiya and the rest become men when they’re in Earthling disguise. Apparently they do, like in the classic – I thought the point was to adapt the manga to a T, without copying the classic. Andyet, they copy the transformations, attacks and even the art from the classic. Plus, the writers still hate on Rei extremely much, she’s barely in any of these Crystal versions. Why is Usagi holding those cats like a savage???? Of all the bad ways I’ve seen her, Minako and the others hold them, this has got to be worst. And to top it all, Luna, Artemis and Diana are also injured at this point. Literally wtf.

I have been looking forward to the addition of Cosmos for quite some time now and while it did seem a bit bumpy at times I highly recommend giving this a watch at least once. If you perfer the original 90s series of sailor moon you might not like this but however if you are open to change this movie is gorgeous. The music score is gorgeous and really sets the scenes and voice acting was great as well. However dude to it being a movie it did seem a bit rushed and a tad bit confusing at times. While this movie is about the starlight Ifeel we don't actually see much of them at all in this. Which might sound ridiculous but I fear had this been a season instead of a movie it would have had more time to develop the starlight as charaters, as well as giving them thier much needed screen time. While this definitely could have been done differently, Still loved it none the less.

Rewatching Naoko Takeuchi's magnum opus story as a reboot with modern animation and production wasn't wholly a delightful ride, Crystal had it's fair share of bumpy moments, but the Cosmos movies redeemed the whole journey by giving a worthy conclusion to this classic series which it always deserved. This was one of the best arcs from the manga, and Usagi handles it pretty well, she is an amazing protagonist, her charisma, personality and characterstics are very uplifting, and her emotions are very humane, she tries her best but also gets on the verge of giving up when she fails. It really makes her the perfect fitfor the role she's playing. Also, gotta commend all the VAs for giving out their best of performances, like how Kotono Mitsuishi (VA of Usagi) delivered the same voice she did 30 years ago, is just amazing.

Although I have rated this as average, the second part is actually a solid 7.1 because the last 15 minutes the pacing finally slows down, and we get to see the most beautiful animation of Sailor Cosmos (thanks largely in part due to Sidney Deng's contribution to some key frames as well as the transformation for Chibi-Chibi). So everyone was right in that the pacing for the films is truly not helping the story develop as it should and it's incredibly difficult to relate to characters when you can't even sit with them. Some cringe scenes occured in part I with no rationale behind them,such as a character I won't name switching from random dialogue to breaking out in song, also too many scenes occur on the same rooftop. The star lights barely get any screen time, look I am sorry but that was the big appeal about this arc. They also took away the iconic music when they transform which is a shame. There is a bit of strange back and forth between "are these new fighters our enemies" and "omg the star lights have a concert tonight even though we just found out their real personas" fangirl moments in the same scenes and it's incredibly confusing. We also never get any closure whatsoever and it's the film's biggest flaw. It's fine to follow the manga but I don't get why not add a one-liner with an explanation at least. in the original version (sorry, yes I will mention it) we not only spend a lot of time to get a feel of their individual personalities but we also get closure, even though that respective ending was rushed and left the story largely incomplete. I feel as though you'd need to combine them to get any sort of satisfaction. Ultimately, the animation in Part II is much improved, similarly to how Eternal films behaved. The final 15 minutes are really beautiful and well done, incredible use of colours and composition, the atmosphere is good, deep insight into characters. It was fantastic to see Galaxia and we got time to spend with her (unlike any of the other villains in Crystal) and understand her background and motivation a bit, which really helped with the world building and storytelling. The OST was lacking yet again, apart from the intro music. Still largely choir music mixed with piano and some metal. I feel like 70% of the 90s atmosphere was the music composed by Takanori Arisawa, and the remainder 30% the voice acting. The original had a much much darker atmosphere and it was a bit frustrating to see this largely lacking yet again. It is a bit too vanilla when the manga clearly depicts various violent events. These were never translated into the Crystal remake. It can be quite bland in parts without this element. The VA for Cosmos sounded bored, no idea what happened there. Still, I enjoyed the 2nd episode and thought it was the best the remake could do with the budget and attention. Nice closure and ending. It felt authentic. It's sad we never got to spend some time with any of the girls and Usagi's friends in the remake, there could have been more scenes showing the girls bond and build on their friendship. you can't rush these things and just show character 1 cry over the death of character 2 with no background whatsoever and expect viewers to care. The best thing the studio could do for Sailor Moon is remake the 90s version and get rid of the filler episodes.

As far as I am aware that this is how Sailor Moon usually is, I still have a tremendous amount of love for this franchise. I love the 90s series and the original Sailor Moon for me will always be that one, I gotta say that for sure. The whole new adaptation, Crystal, was kind of refreshing, it was like following my favorite childhood series all over again but I gotta be honest about how disappointed I was with the first season. After that, they kind of made it enjoyable with season 3 and even made a satisfying film with Eternal for me but Igotta say that Cosmos, which I had the most expectations of really disappointed me, especially with part 1. I don't know if I am the only one but the story was jumping all over the place, the scenes were really incoherent and I had a hard time staying calm. I am aware that this is a movie and they have to make it compact and all but watching this movie felt like reading a whole bunch of drabbles and it's not my cup of tea when it comes to movies. Look, I am IN LOVE with Seiya. I literally signed up for this whole mess only for Seiya and... anyways. I have some really mixed feelings for this movie, and as far as I am happy that it concluded I am strongly thinking that it could have been better. Now, I am gonna go and watch the Stars season from the 90s version again just to relive my love for Seiya.

Total crap and the worst part of this Crystal remake series, which was very mediocre and sometimes outright bad anyway. While the previous parts were directed maybe at 12-13 years old, Cosmos audience have to be some 7 in order to enjoy it. It's emotionally flat, with incoherent plot, too much talking, and lukewarm play of voice actors. The characters' personalities are inconsistent, and they behave in ways that oppose their basic characters. Stupid gags and improper humour ruin the presumably serious mood of this part, with the characters suddenly getting all happy and cheerful right after being sad and broken. There's nothing good to besaid about this movie, except maybe for Yasuharu Takanashi's soundtrack. Still, despite all my love for this composer, I appreciate the ost of the old anime much more. Definitely not recommended.

The Sailor Moon reboot has been a decade-long bumpy ride. From an uninspired start with Sailor Moon Crystal Seasons 1-2, where the adaptation actually tarnished the source material by omitting most humane interactions of its cast and opting for an endless amount of ugly looking melodrama, to an amazing improvement on Season 3, which felt like watching an anime again and more often than not updated certain elements of the manga, to Sailor Moon Eternal that, as confusingly condensed as it was at times, brought back some charm and wit, to Sailor Moon Cosmos, which is by far the best addition to this incarnation ofthe franchise. The Stars arc is a trendsetter for a lot of existential themes found in shoujo anime. Its symbolism, lore and overall message are by far some of my favorite in japanese animation. The two movies managed to explain several intricate/questionable points and visualized them properly by adding flashbacks/visions. There's not much left unexplained. Some ambiguity remains, but personally, this is why this arc works (weeell, except for the existence of a specific character that requires some mental gymnastics, ifykyk). Despite the tightly-knit plot, each character feels true to their persona and their interactions completely make each of them shine. Taiki and Yaten are actually likable, who would have thought! The movie format actually worked rather well here. It reinforces the high stakes and the shock value of the arc. With just three more minutes of screen time, some transitions between scenes would be less abrupt, but I truly think the team did absolutely everything they could to make all the time restrictions cast upon them work. Director Tomoya Takahashi proved just how important good direction is. He uses flashy transitions, the camera work is eventful, the characters actually move and there's so much amazing lightwork. Actions scenes have energy and emotional scenes actually carry some weight. There were more than a few tears shed. Even the music is more inspired and enriched despite being composed by the the same composer from previous seasons (Yasuharu Takanashi). The themes of Galaxia, Kakyuu and Cosmos are definitive highlights. These movies contain the highest highs of the reboot animation-wise. There's much more movement and a somewhat consistent quality all the way through the films. The stock footage, even though it can feel redundant to some, not only is it really beautiful 90% of the time, but has amazing references from the 90s anime (I love nostalgia bait what can I say) and saves some money for the most pivotal scenes, which look absolutely amazing imo. The line-work and the colors are lively and impactful depending on the mood of each scene. I counted like fifteen (?) instances/seconds of wonky animation out of a 160 minute project. If Crystal had started out like this, I wouldn't even mention these moments because there is no such thing as perfection, especially in a Toei production. Sailor Moon Cosmos was triumphant at what it set out to do, which is a faithful 1:1 adaptation of the manga. For the most part, it managed to embody and successfully decipher the manga arc (even improve upon it in certain ways). I really wish this had been the team working on the reboot from day 1. But I guess it wouldn't be a Sailor Moon project without a few "what if"'s. 8.5/10

After 9 years, Sailor Moon Crystal is finally over. Comparing the beginning of this reboot to the end is almost like night and day. Sailor Moon Cosmos is the second adaptation of the Sailor Stars arc of the manga. It does a much better job at adapting the original storyline of the manga than the 90s anime (that is VASTLY different than the manga). Where Eternal had some issues in regards to the pacing, these movies were paced a lot better (despite being the same length as Eternal as well). While Stars could have easily been a 13-14 episode season and add a lot ofmore things that weren't in the manga, the additions that are in the movie are sufficient. Instead of feeling like a stripped version of what happened in the manga (like Eternal), many scenes that were in the manga that aren't in the movies were replaced with original content to compensate (part of the ending just to name a part). The visuals are also gorgeous. A lot of time was put into making sure this movie was visually stunning, it looks like an updated version of the 90s anime. In my opinion, these movies are the best that Sailor Moon has ever looked in an animated form. Overall, I think these movies are great, and they do a great job at adapting the mangas ending that was very different in the 90s anime. Most Sailor Moon fans will enjoy these two films a lot.
