Gekijoban Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon Cosmos

The anime reboot of Sailor Moon starting with Crystal became very hit or miss. The first nine episodes of Crystal are as good as they possibly can be, but then it becomes a meaningless exposition dump. Something very similar happens in Cosmos, where the first part largely is ok where we get to spend time with the sailor senshi that fans know and love. But then they are replaced with endless and extremely tedious exposition of new characters, places and events. Part of me wonders if this might be a cultural thing, or at least an anime convention. But coming at it from a western perspective, you should never use exposition in the later parts of a movie. It will remove all agency and suspense, at this point the viewer should have all the information, and we should just be able to follow the events unfolding.

I always thought the Sailor Starlights were weak and their outfits look awful. It's so strange that them changing gender when transforming is not brought up at all. Is it some kind of censorship? I though Eternal was great, and that arc isn't *that* much better than the final one, so a let down that Cosmos was unable to hit the mark. The animation in Cosmos is great, but even Sailor Moon needs more than that.

It seems that the creators learned from the mistakes of the past and corrected them.

Because although the Eternal movie did not work as a Movie format, Cosmos has now refuted this.

The scenes are very well put together, there are no unnecessary parts. The character traits of the characters are well developed, because everyone is lovable and you can identify with each character to some extent.

As for the animation, it is even more sophisticated and detailed.

The background music also fits the scenes nicely, so you don't have that unpleasant feeling.

The Star Arc is perhaps the darkest of them all, so the expectations are high, but I think they finally managed to realize this story and wrap it up in a decent way.

Well done!!!

The stars arc is my favorite of the manga. The movie did a great job of telling it. Usagi sorrow and overcoming it was heartbreaking and beautiful to watch. Galaxia is a scary villain and her story id interesting. Usagi and Mamoru moments are sweet and romantic !! The moments with Usagi and the girls were sweet showing there strong friendship. Usagi with her family was touching. I got the blu est and even though it was only Japanese I understood it thanks to the manga, I'm so glad I got it!!! It's part of Sailor Moon shoeing how amazing she is and how important her friends and love are to her. Definitely recommend.

Sailor moon definitely shines imax with this new installment amazingly well beautiful incredible and it's greatly appreciated and improved by anyone who's ever known about sailor moon the fourth sequel that lives to its predecessor after since Two other anime with their movies in imax like Evangelion detective Conan Akira ghost in the shell dragon ball z and even Pokémon 3 the movie now sailor moon gets to be part of other anime movies in imax theaters for anyone to experience anime like no one has ever seen before it deserves a cake it is a joy for both kids and adults who have known sailor moon.

Old school, 1992 fan here when it aired every Saturday at 7pm on TV Asahi. Purchased and collected Nakayoshi every month and obsessively collected Carddass trading cards. I've always loved that my childhood heroine remake is being portrayed to the true to the manga arc. HOWEVER, I gave this 9 stars, not a biased, typical 10 because part one really should've been broken into episodes rather than one, fact-paced movie. Part 2 was great. Give it a try, especially if Sailor Moon was your hero growing up just like me. To my fellow Sailor Moon fans from 90s Japan,the theme songs to both parts will bring tears to your eyes.
