Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal is consistently excellent visually and at times even manages to be emotionally evocative. Go to Full Review

4/5
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. Go to Full Review

butterfly2507 03/20/2024 my childhood!! love seeing the sailors together :) See more Jonathan Q 11/10/2023 Sailor Guardians ✨🌙💎🫶🏻🎻🥁🎹🌈🌠💖🩵🩷💜!!! See more Utahprideboy 08/01/2023 Absolutely the Best Adaptation of the Manga, Loved it See more 05/30/2022 The transformations are EVERYTHING. See more 09/26/2021 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 See more 09/17/2021 Beautiful to watch, exceptionally faithful to the source material, this adaptation of one of the most compelling arcs of the manga is done right, from the dubbing to the outstanding score and finally doing justice for the strenght of the Inner and Outer Senshi.
