8/10
Not that bad like most people say

This is a review about the first 2 seasons,since i haven't watched the third season yet(which most people say is the best of all 3).Before starting watching it,i had read so many bad reviews,but it came out that it isn't that bad at all.Sure it is much different from the classic Sailor Moon since it follows the exact story of the manga but it has a lot of pros.For example,the transformations and some battle scenes are way more impressive than on the classic one,as well as the city and the Sailors' houses.Another thing that i liked is that on the Crystal things happen much faster.All of the soldiers are gathered since the very first 8 episodes when on the classic one,on the first 8 episodes only Moon and Mercury had gathered.That's because it follows the manga like i said before.Also,the villains remain the same but the story line is a bit different(because of the manga again).For example,Kunzite,Zoisite,Nephrite and Jadeite used to be the guardians of Prince Endymion and each one of them used to be in love with each one of the rest of the sailor soldiers,when on the classic one they are just enemies and Kunzite is dating Zoisite.Another different thing that i liked is that Usagi's relationship with Luna is much more emotional and Luna doesn't scold Usagi like on the classic one and Rei doesn't pick on Usagi either,although that was a pretty funny thing.Also,on the Crystal one all Sailors can fly normally whenever they want,when on the classic one they would fly on some scenes but on some other ones they didn't do it even though they could a few scenes ago which made no sense.The cons are that the series isn't really funny at all and Usagi and Mina who are the most naive ones on the classic one are way more serious in here.Usagi still appears like a crybaby and stuff but not that much like on the classic one and Mina is way too serious.Also,i didn't like the fact that the four phantom sisters get killed one by one on every episode,when on the classic one they all became humans again.It's stuff like that that miss from the Sailor Moon Crystal and don't make it a 10 out of 10 like the classic one.Overall,if you are a fan of Sailor Moon and especially the manga,give it a try and watch it.But if you are full in love with the classic Sailor Moon and like it more than the manga,then don't watch it at all.
