>>143101699
Yeah it's his signature move
Tuxedo la smoking bomber
It shows up in the musicals a lot, but they cut that out in the original anime for some reason. It's probably because the old writers really hated the guy.
Or didn't need him being too OP.
>>
>>143101475
The writers of the 1st show didn't like him, so they cut out this power. Yeah, the name is retarded, but it's just as strong, if not more so, then the rest of the senshi sans Moon.
>>
So Saturn is more powerful than the entire sailor squad + DOUBLE grail power?

No any powers but he does have healing abilities. If I remember correctly, he can also see what's happening on any place of the world due to his connection to the Earth

She switched it up for some reason. She never exactly based everything on greek/roman mythology.
Astrology sees the planet Saturn with destruction and threat, and Naoko was real big on astrology back in the day so it's natural why she did this.
In the manga Pluto was the daughter of Chronos. Or is said to be. So that has to do why she's able to manipulate time.
This site goes into better depth about this

>>
>>143103490
That actually happened?
>>
>>143104920
The only senshi whose powers aren't the best fit for them are Saturn and Pluto.

The inner senshi, Uranus and Neptune all have powers based on the japanese/chinese/korean names for the planets (water, gold/metal, fire, plants, sky and sea). Jupiter also gets lightining because Jupiter=Zeus.

Going by the planets' names, Saturn should have earth powers and Pluto darkness powers. Going by mythology, they should have time/fertility and death/darkness, respectively, but Takeuchi clearly didn't care about any of that.

In this arc Saturn is definitely stronger than all of them combined.

Sailor Moons powers are a bit iffy though, technically the silver crystal has infinite power (and I mean, literally infinite) but how Sailor Moons "upgrades" fit into that, I do not know. Evidently she cannot just nuke every enemy she comes across, in fact maybe her powers are limited to healing and some vague form of "banishing darkness".

That said Galaxia can and did nuke entire planets with a single finger so I think her and Eternal Sailor Moon overshadow Saturn in power later.

Original anime had a better portrayal with the whole "shits all fucked we all gonna die" atmosphere at the end, but I really fucking hate the actual plot and how they portray Usagi (as Sailor Moon), it's downright cancerous.

>I can't wait to be a useless piece of shit and spread pacificsm

Seriously what was even the point of Saturn appearing if she doesn't even get to DO her thing without this retarded bitch interrupting?

And that's just this season, the abomination they pulled in the Black Moon arc was even worse.

Not really, but it's a well-written emotional roller coaster. Most consider it to be the peak of the series.

SuperS is where his trippy imagery starts showing up more. Which makes sense, since the big themes in it are "dreams and nightmares."

So, was the moonlight a message of love this episode?

Keep forgetting this comes out on Mondays.

Wait, so this wasn't cancelled after that horrible first season?

Is Usagi back to being the retard I knew and loved?

The one who is extremely dependant on Mamoru and, sometimes others, being there to back her up and gets all depressed and insecure otherwise?
Yes.
>>
>>143120192
Guess it wasn't since we're still having threads for this show.
Usagi's character has a nice balance of silly/stupid. Like if she had the personality she had in the serious plot episodes of the original anime.
Her being extremely airheaded throughout most of the entire show was really just a 90's anime only thing

But that was her selling point.

It was I won't disagree, but I kind of like seeing Usagi handle a fight by herself without stumbling around like an idiot, or having someone tell her to use her rod everytime.
She regained her goofiness back this season after they sucked it out the first two seasons, so there's that.

This arc has had curiously great music and animation. It's kind of a sight to see and something to hear
>>
>>143119545
Toei always has good music. That's one thing they don't cheapen out on and usually excel at. I'm still listening to the original japanese SM memorial ost.
>>
>>143120369
Wait... This is the 3rd season?
So, if I want to catch up I have to watch 2 seasons?

I watched the first 6 episodes of the first season, and dropped it because the designs were ugly and because I found the story rather boring - maybe because my memories from childhood about this show was it being fun and not close to straight shoujo.

I saw the videos about Saturn and they looked really cool.

Dammit...

I think it actually became a regular TV series and got a budget this time instead of a bi-weekly ONA that the staff didn't seem to give a remote shit about. The director and staff is also completely different now and Bandai and Tokyo MX seem to be funding it as well.
>>
>>143098096
>Kindof like CCS
No way, the CCS anime was the same thing as the manga just with a fuckton of filler.

In SM the mood and characters were considerably different in the anime compared to the manga.
>>
>>143120515
well what I did was watch the entirety of the original anime, read up the differences between manga and anime for the first two arcs, and then jump right in.
Or you could just read the manga up to arc 27.
I dont know how this season would be to someone that doesnt know anything about sailor moon.

I guess I'll just give it a try whenever I'm really bored, and have enough food to keep me watching.

Originally her color was going to be yellow ochre, but for some reason Takeuchi switched it to purple when she decided to produce the color concept sketch.

Took me months just to finish the anime, but i'm glad I did.

Deathly elegance is the best kind of death incarnate. I've always envisioned the Omega as having the poise of a ballerina and the somberness of pitch black as it silently and nonchalantly brings about the demise of all that lives.

Also for the record Hotaru is 12 years old and only 10 in Stars do to plot fuckery so consider that chick from Kabaneri that people obsess over thoroughly matched and surpassed

I never understood how powerlevels in the Sailor Moon work. They generally go from barely super human to faster than light and planet busters towards the end of the story without the characters making note of the changes, but act like it's only natural and that doesn't make sense when they struggle with bad guys who are barely city busters for most of the story.
>>
The thing I find weird is that when big bads start causing shit, it's like nobody other than the Sailors even notice.
Like, the monster could be destroying buildings, houses, schools, etc. but you never see people running, screaming or anything, not even looking for help or just standing there, they just vanish from the anime until the girls go back to their daily lives.
There might be some exceptions but most of the times they don't.

I finished all three versions of first arc. I can't decide which I liked the most, since each of them could use some polishing and each had good parts that were missing from other versions, like Venus vs. Beryl in the manga, Shitennou/Senshi pairings in Crystal (which I liked despite being a yurifag) and meta-humour of original anime, like frisbee episode and that one where they spoofed Sailor V OVA.
When is it coming out, by the way?
>>
>>143126947
She doesn't praise the anime, she just expresses the usual shame/embarrassment that comes with being a writer or artist. All of them will look back on something they were proud of and suddenly say 'Oh god that is shit, why did I ever think it was good!?'. It's because they've gotten better.

tldr, you are wildly and willfully a shit.

They are all female crossdressers. In the 90s anime, they changed sex. When they were civilians they were male (still for disguise purposes though). This doesn't happen in the manga.

That's not even exactly what she said.

>Dissatisfied that she had left the production of the previous Sailor Moon film to others, Takeuchi envisioned "Princess Kaguya's Lover" as the plot of Sailor Moon S: The Movie, and proceeded to write the story "all in one go."

It sounds more like she didn't like how she had nothing to do with the production, rather than a dislike of the movie itself. Yet another stupid rumor about Naoko.

I remember that game having weird balance. The last boss was practically impossible to defeat in the first battle so you had to line up your best characters in the second one which usually meant the outer senshi. Also lots and lots of grinding.
>>
>>143143152

Outside of the messed up balance and the endless grinding needed, it was extremely fun like most SNES Sailor Moon games.

I really wish they'd make new SM games someday besides that one candy crush clone on smartphones.

A new fighting game with all the boss-type characters (Shitennou, Witches 5, etc) instead of just the Senshi would be pretty boss.
