![]() (A shot of Queen Serenity in the opening sequence showed her as blonde as well, but this turned out to be an error rather than an example of the trope Toei corrected her hair color to her classic white as of Act 6, and all of her actual scenes in the series show her with white hair.) This is most likely carried over from the '90s anime, which made the same change. Princess Serenity has Mystical White Hair in color art for the manga, but in Crystal, she remains blonde.The Four Heavenly Kings uniforms are changed from black to white.Generally, secondary and tertiary characters have had their hair and eye colors mildly to moderately desaturated as compared to the '90s anime, (and sometimes colorized manga art) in keeping with the series tendency towards a pastel, watercolor-influenced palette. However, since this adaptation lacks the copious Filler of the 90s version, Season 3 ended up stretching the story by one episode compared to the manga and moving around some scenes, producing a better story flow than in the first two seasons. Adaptation Distillation: While Crystal mostly follows the manga closely (and was advertised specifically as a manga adaptation and not a remake of the old anime), a number of scenes were still dropped or changed around for various reasons, mostly for the sake of timing.Black Lady in particular went from a modest B cup to smuggling grapefruits in her dress. A lot of female characters went up a few bra sizes from the manga.While Mamoru, Saphir and Demande were already considered pretty good-looking, even in the '90s anime, they became even better looking than before. Same applies to practically any of the male characters.While Usagi's father Kenji was always considered to be reasonably good-looking (though more in a dorky way) by fans of both the manga and the first anime, when he showed up in Act 4 of Crystal the fans went all "WHOA THERE, SINCE WHEN IS HE HOT?!".2D Visuals, 3D Effects: The Cel Shaded 3D animation used during the opening and the Transformation Sequences in the first two seasons was generated on computer.Note: Only tropes unique to Sailor Moon Crystal should be placed here.Ĭrystal contains series-exclusive examples of: The English dub (handled by Studiopolis for the first three seasons and VSI Los Angeles for the Eternal films) uses the same voice cast as the 2014 redub of the original anime. ![]() ![]() Kotono Mitsuishi is the only Japanese voice actress reprising her role from the '90s anime, as Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon.
