Lynzee Loveridge Anime News Network Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal is consistently excellent visually and at times even manages to be emotionally evocative. Rated: B Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Common Sense Media Editors Common Sense Media The sailor scouts struggles with insecurities and the truth of their deepest desires make them well-rounded and relatable. Even the villains get some complexity with "twist reveal" backstories. Rated: 4/5 Feb 15, 2023 Full Review Therese Lacson The Beat And while there are definitely still some questionable storylines, (...) Sailor Moon Eternal is a strong entry into the anime collection of this universe. Oct 9, 2021 Full Review Rosie Knight IGN Movies Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal The Movie is a feel good adventure that boasts stunning animation, vibrant storytelling, and the return of our favorite magical girl Sailor Scouts in a dynamic double bill that will inspire and entertain. Rated: 8/10 Jun 8, 2021 Full Review Jade Gomez Paste Magazine Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal is a much-appreciated telling of a beloved arc that needed an accurate adaptation without sacrificing the charm of the original anime. Rated: 7.4/10 Jun 7, 2021 Full Review Victoria Johnson Polygon At its heart, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal The Movie is about overcoming evil with the power of love and friendship. And there's nothing more Sailor Moon than that. Jun 7, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

butterfly2507 my childhood!! love seeing the sailors together :) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review Saac i watched this at a friends house at 5 am with a friend and i regret nothing Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/22/23 Full Review Jonathan Q Sailor Guardians ✨🌙💎🫶🏻🎻🥁🎹🌈🌠💖🩵🩷💜!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/10/23 Full Review Utahprideboy Absolutely the Best Adaptation of the Manga, Loved it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/01/23 Full Review Audience Member The transformations are EVERYTHING. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Disappointing music and voice acting. I have no idea why they brought Yasuharu Takanashi on board when they could have hired the talented Shiro Sagisi (Evangelion) who truly composes amazing battle music. Sailor Moon Eternal's battles were absolutely lacking in tension and truly deserved better in light of the original composer no longer being with us (You will forever be remembered Takanori Arisawa). The voice acting was disturbing, when Mamoru falls ill Chibiusa barely reacts. Also lots of characters sound monotonous during important scenes. Visually it has improved a lot, the new art style is very fitting for a remake. Animation has stayed at the quality of season 3. Overall it's very watchable if you are a fan but you would rightly demand more in the age of modern animation where we can have flawless creations such as Violet Evergarden and Eva (2021 movie). It also follows the manga without adding more to develop the villains in the arc, I think it would have been achievable even in the short time. Nehelenia looked harmless. The main focus is Mamo-Usa, which is perfectly fine but when you have such a limited amount of time you really need to make sure the others don't get overlooked. I am keeping my hopes up for Stars and wish for a better OST and animation because this series deserves more Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
