I couldn't watch much of it, the animation was just too bad and it was clear that the characters didn't have much personality.



I had a whole screed planned around the question "why make a new product around the name Sailor Moon if you're not actually going to adapt what makes Sailor Moon unique?" Especially when you consider that this is a time period when American children only had access to anime via television dubs. Nobody here even knew what "Sailor Moon" was, so why do we care?


With the modifications made to the character designs and plot for the sake of "Americanizing" it, why not go whole hog, rename everyone, and drop the Sailor Moon branding entirely?
