Who would I recommend this to?
Hardcore Sailor Moon fans...or those who have no expectations.

What is this about?
Chibiusa is suppose to be returning to the 30th Century, but then she gets a special visitor and stays to help the Sailor Scouts fight the Dead Moon Circus from destroying Earth and to find the golden crystal.

When would be a good time to watch this?
Right now, since we've been waiting four years.

Where does it take place?
Tokyo, Japan.

Why did I decide to watch this?
Because it's Sailor Moon and I've been waiting FOUR YEARS!

How did I like this?
First of all, I do not like the dub. I much rather would have read subtitles (I didn't know that it was an option either!). Second, was it just me, or was the animation not as pretty as expected. Sailor Moon Crystal is GORGEOUS. I cried the first time watching it. This is nice and bright, but not the same at all. There's still something hypnotic about the transformation and super power scenes though.

The plot feels super rushed and juvenile, especially in comparison to Crystal. Something bad happens, then it's resolved in like 2 minutes. With a lot of awkwardness in between. It didn't flow like a movie. It felt like they mashed together four episodes.

Have you seen Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal? What did you think?
If not, would you watch it?
