Easily one of the best moments of the whole series!

Because she really is the messiah. This proved it the grail weakened her which is why they thought she wasn't it. Her power comes from what you said

Honestly one of the moments of the 90s anime I think really surpassed the source material. So much of the manga was darker and felt raw and relatable but this? This is one of the most emotional parts of any anime I watched growing up

The 90 anime series was way better than the original manga, especially the S season.

Yeah sadly crystal follows her vision almost 1:1 and the scene in the reboot looks like any other magical girl, with pop music and " aha my final super glitter attack with the back of my friends" were the anime was more to the identity sailor moon had of , not always power will suffice but kindness and love will make for a grandioso finale

Toei did some very good things and other terrible things, if they had added filler and better adapted the original script, they would have achieved a definitive version of Sailor Moon as a story.

The villains are definitely better in anime. Their characterization are much more interesting. Look at Zoisite and Kunzite relationship. Even in SMSS, I love Amazon Trio.

At least through the first three seasons (minus the Doom Tree side arc). Season 4 and 5 really fell flat for me after reading the manga though. And I feel that Crystal finally delivered on what we had wanted with Eternal and Cosmos

For the longest time, I had been defending Crystal against its detractors... even though I couldn’t bring myself to honestly enjoy it. But because I considered myself a “true” Sailor Moon fan, I thought Crystal was “legitimate” because it was faithful to the manga (although that later part could even be discussed). But then, I asked myself: what do I think about when I say I love Sailor Moon? Surely, Mrs Takeuchi’s beautiful illustrations and romantic tales are dear to me. But when I think of Sailor Moon, what comes first in my mind are beautiful, raw scenes such as these. I think about the character interaction in the “filler episodes”. I think about Takanori Arisawa’s heroic and melancholic music. I think about Junichi Satou’s and Kunihiko Ikuhara’s directing (the later going on to make my favorite anime of all time Utena). All these reasons made me realize that, while I am incredibly grateful for Naoko Takeuchi, her manga is not the reason I love Sailor Moon. At least, not the _only_ reason. The original manga and 90s anime completed each other, playing up the advantages of their respective medium. That’s why Crystal feels hollow, because it transcribes (instead of adapting) a story which, in its manga form, was *very* quick and more interested in showing cool lore and pretty drawings. And the anime can’t even do the art part right ... (then again, Takeuchi’s designs only really work in manga, and become quite akward when adapted too faithfully for animation) I’m sorry for the long rant, but I thought that maybe it would be interesting to explain my journey as an ex-defender of Crystal!

@@etherealsky7078 I loved to hear your opinion, it's always good to discuss Sailor Moon and I totally understand and agree with your reasoning.

Now, I don't even know how will it still work with the upcoming double film set to be released this 2020. I hope that "Sailor Moon: Eternal" (officially confirmed name) does it better than C3 by recovering that very same spirit that the 90's series had on their best time. Although I know it won't be easy or it may won't repeat ever again, but still...

It's not better, it's not bad either. They're both good. But the S ending might have been quite more emotional. My favorite

I’m sorry to say that crystal season crushed all my hops The trailer was nice but the animation was so hope crushing

These days anime producers are starting to think that explicitly showing or allowing the audience to _hear_ what actually happens is appropriate, not realizing or caring that it yanks the narrative tone in a completely different direction or leaves a really bad taste in the viewer's mouths. But they'll do it because they think there's an alleged "demand for dark fantasy" or "it's more realistic" (buddy if I want realistic violence, I'll watch the evening news). There was one production that marketed itself as a plain old fantasy adventure in the trailer, and episode 1 had brutal murder and r*pe complete with screams; CR was also fooled by the trailer and rated it "TV-14" before it aired, whoops. So I can't even trust anime trailers anymore, clearly there are anime producers and bigwigs out there who think it's acceptable to deceive and potentially traumatize the audience.

ese grito de fue increible.Te ahce sentir la impotencia,frustracion y desepracion de Sailor Moon por no poder ir en ayuda de Saturn
