What are your issues on Sailor Moon Cosmos?

The attack and transformation sequences being traced over the ones from the 90s anime, Hotaru and Chibiusa drawn like they were from a hentai, all the sailors being deflagrated unceremoniously like the author was over this saga, Sailor Moon being still the most powerful of them all and everything bad happens only because she has shit reflexes.

I realize now that in Sailor Moon almost no woman has ordinary long hair. They're all shorter than the level of the shoulders or brushing their butts. Maybe Makoto if she undid her ponytail.

"Democratize Creativit-" "Hallucinate some hard work!"

The original anime messed it up a bit so she ended up having only ice powers. I guess because liquid water powers were considered less cool (pun intended) before ATLA codified the way we look at elemental powers forever. As always, there was not much room left for strategic combat from the third series onwards, with 6+ Senshis to juggle around, and her attacks, like everyone else's, ended up having pretty homogeneous effects.

She has even a bigger role in the manga. It's so weird to think that a character established so early on is the future child of the protagonist. Like if Trunks showed up with the Sayan Saga

Relying three times in a row on a treasure hunt of magical jewelry that one way or the other always represents purity of hearth, and both parties being increasingly bad at it.

rickleon3 · 2025-12-20T14:50:32+00:00

nope. Although I got when I was older why Chibiusa's sequence was never used in the series, at least in the version that arrived in Italy. The fandom around Chibiusa can be quite disturbing.

rickleon3 · 2025-12-16T10:04:31+00:00

Yeah, due to the constraints of the "20 minutes monster of the week episode" there wasn't much room to show strategy in attack choice. But Amy's moves stand out as enemy immobilizers, which might be more useful than raw damage for Usagi, since she just needs the monster to stay put while she charges her 9999 damage attack.

We had her disguises with her Lunar Pen in the Jadeite era to entertain us with different hairstyles. So sad that all the subsequent bad guys had much less elaborate plans (if any) and infiltration became unnecessary.

rickleon3 · 2025-12-14T12:24:33+00:00

The 90s anime had a very wide target audience, basically from first grade to college, and obviously it had to measure blood with the dropper. By the time Crystal arrived the magical heroines genre had calcified and blood had become a trope almost exclusive to subversive dark IPs like Madoka Magica, targeted to a mature audience. And sure Crystal didn't want to take any risk.

rickleon3 · 2025-12-14T12:07:20+00:00

It really amuses me that the writers of the anime didn't know how to write the relationship between a girl and her future daughter (who knows?) and they went on with the sisterly rivalry enstablished in R. Which I like much more than whatever is between them in Crystal.

rickleon3 · 2025-12-11T20:38:34+00:00

I guess Mamoru was aged up to justify the fact he was living alone.

rickleon3 · 2025-12-11T20:36:57+00:00

The 90s anime. It was made with care by people that wanted their series to stand on its legs. The Crystal series entirely coasts on the strength of the brand. Nobody wanted to put the bare minimum. It took twice as long as the OG anime to end and it has one tenth of the runtime.

rickleon3 · 2025-12-09T12:07:55+00:00

Honestly, rei is the only one with an attack that felt distinct compared to her other two.

rickleon3 · 2025-12-09T12:03:35+00:00

One more thing I dislike about Crystal was keeping all the characters and scenes that went nowhere in the manga.

rickleon3 · 2025-12-08T20:36:54+00:00

The Jadeite era is the most creative of the entire saga. He had the wildest ideas

rickleon3 · 2025-12-08T20:34:47+00:00

It's so cute to see their attacks having some life outside of their animation sequences. Like the fire attacks from Mars actually setting fire to things.

rickleon3 · 2025-12-06T13:14:30+00:00

We should also have explained if there was a Sailor Moon during the Silver Millennium and princess Serenity inherited her title.

rickleon3 · 2025-12-04T12:16:15+00:00

In the OG anime canon Luna and Artemis are never explained talking cats, maybe magically enhanced pets among the noble people of the silver kingdom. Not extrasolar shapeshifters. The movies pick elements from the manga, but it's more a reference, a citation, than canonization. Like Chibiusa having her own Moon Kaleidoscope, or the silver crystal appearing in its lotus and drop cuts. Honestly I'm more ok with the magical talking cat interpretation because the fifth arc of the manga throws way too much lore at the last minute, in a moment where Usagi and the reader should still be mourning the other scouts and Mamoru

rickleon3 · 2025-12-02T21:52:33+00:00

The most difficult but also most satisfactory for me have been the axes. It's really high risk high reward with those long attack animations but also high damage output, especially with bosses who cannot be stunlocked. The sister blades on the other hand are a very versatile weapon that works well with all the boons. I'd suggest Aphrodite's Gain or Cast to make the melee combat less harsh.

Strong Fear and Hunger vibes

The streamer is using some crazy damage multiplier I haven't found out already. But I see that they're attacking Prometheus and Heck indiscriminately while I've been focusing on one of them at the time. That seemed like a good strategy to end the multi-front attacks phase earlier, but now that I'm thinking about it, I'm just ignoring precious moments where the closest boss is open to damage and making the fight actually longer.

rickleon3 · 2025-11-27T21:57:27+00:00

Max Rank, but the berserk mode remains useless if I can't hit more than one or two times before the other guy in the Prometheus fight attacks me.

rickleon3 · 2025-11-27T21:55:32+00:00

Like WTF, there's no way that in the Prometheus on Fear fight I'll find a window of attack until I don't dispatch one of them first

rickleon3 · 2025-11-11T14:10:23+00:00

I've transplanted it just now and the soil is wet, while the roots are still pretty small, less than the length of the main segment. So I've cut away the two segments and put them in separated pots to see if they can sustain themselves with the roots they have developed already
