Sailor Moon is the poster child for the magical girl genre, a genre often associated with a younger audience and “less mature” content. But what if I told you it covered topics like genocide, human experimentation, incest, and other similar ideas?

Sailor Moon Crystal, the second attempt at an anime adaptation of Naoko Takeuchi’s
Sailor Moon manga, met mixed reactions from fans. It was a more faithful adaptation of the manga series than the beloved ’90s anime adaptation, but its central characters, the guardians of Earth (also known as the Sailor Senshi), looked off. Sailor Pluto suddenly had lighter skin. The CGI transformations where the characters change into their superpowered forms felt outdated. And the muted tones lacked the bright, colorful prettiness fans remembered from the ’90s.
By season 3 of
Sailor Moon Crystal, the CGI transformations were gone, and the art style became less rigid and more playful. Now, five years later, season 4 of the series, presented on Netflix as the two-part film
Sailor Moon Crystal. The first three seasons were a slipshod adaptation of
Naoko Takeuchi s original manga, stringently adhering to the original plotting which, instead of uplifting the source material, only highlighted its weakness. It also looked like hot garbage. If, like me, your expectations for these two films were about six feet in the dirt, I m happy to announce that you can breathe a sigh of relief.
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal is consistently excellent visually and at times even manages to be emotionally evocative. Its writing still suffers from a narrative that s too concerned to check things off than make them feel earned, as well as slapdash conflict resolutions that deflate any tension or suspense. This happens in small ways across both films, and much like Takeuchi s original story, there is a lack of spatial consistency that keeps the battles from feeling grounded.
