Couldn't have picked a better Uranus, from her worm in MMPPP, and Sakura Taisen she sounded enough like Megumi! I'm very pleased with the new cast.

I have no idea who any of these people are so I'm going to wait until I hear their voices xD

7:50 Neptunes Seiyu

Moar art.

I definitely see more of the Precure influence in the designs now. But they look so cute! Especially Chibi Moon!

Sailor Uranus VA

Saw this gem floating around on the internet (reddit maybe?) Marco Albiero draws up this image in the 90s anime style.

Hmm I just noticed that the colors in SSMoon's fuku doesn't bleed into each other like the manga. Interesting.

Maybe an ease of animation choice? Details like that makes it take longer to animate.

That's what I figured as well. It's not a deal breaker or anything but it would've been a nice little touch.

Ohhh I like his redraw! Both the original picture and his version are pretty. =)
(And I just now realized the background and pillars are like a mashup of that one manga illustration and the S season’s opening’s ending scene)

I agree with Mars about the skirt gradient, it would have been a nice detail. This may be wishful thinking, but perhaps they will color it differently for the transformation scene like in the 90's anime.

i know some of these pictures were posted, but here are some new ones

Uranus's leg in the last one is wonky to me.

It's almost like what are knees? xD

Lol reminds me of Naoko's leg issues sometimes xD I think the problem with it is that its drawn in the same direction of the other leg and i think with a pose like that...well legs don't work like that.

I agree. It also looks like it doesn't quite line up with her hips. Maybe she's been running too much?

xD Some artist needs to take an anatomy class or something lol

Apparently, they all just need to take a class for something Addy, you've mention animation and anatomy class. XD
Maybe they should go over to the Studio Madhouse and watch Chobits or something.

For real though, I do enjoy the eyes in these new drawings.

Or get lessons from studio ghibli or something xD I'm not 100% sold on the animation for the new season yet but it is a big improvement over the first 2 seasons.

I'm loving the art for the new season! Not that different from the previous one, but this one is cleaner, so I hope it's easier to animate, resulting in better animation than the first and second arcs. 

Also, there's Haruka and Michiru's VAs, and I think both of them are amazing. I think their works are gonna be gorgeous. I'm very happy with the voice acting in Crystal, they're all on point! Hotaru's one is not known to me, so I'll wait and see.

Ugh, this is making me so excited for the new season, but I'm going to finish rereading the manta and watch more of the original anime.

That redraw in the original 90s anime style highlights how close Crystal Uranus is to the original and the opposite for Neptune.


I'm so excited though!!!!!!

In terms of anatomy issues, I think after the first two seasons I can pretty much let anything slide now lol.

So I read it's for sure premiering in April?

That is what I have read too. Makes sense, since it was initially announced as a spring release.

I only really hope that it looks more like the key image and less like these notebooks, because  YIKES.

AGREED. The promo picture is beautiful. I think that the problem with the senshi on the notebooks/folders is due to one crucial detail: THEIR MOUTHS. Notice the difference between the old SM Crystal style and the new style on the notebooks. The new images gave all of the girls, except for Pluto and Saturn, much bigger mouths making them look very childish (which only works well on Chibimoon). If they just made the mouths a little smaller then they would be nearly perfect.

^ I think the small, gloss less lips are what makes them look the most different -that and the eyelashes not being so thick. Because even if the eyes changed alot, they're an improvement  (and I LOVE the designs of the first season) but the lack of lashes make them look more childish. 
The lips I noticed right away, and they're not great. Not saying they should have a dot for a mouth, but they're so long! Not only that, only Pluto has lipstick and it changes alot on her face. Saturn looks good, and that's how I think they should have kept it for everyone  (except Haruka, maybe).

Well I'm glad that it's going to be airing so soon. Is it still going to be every 2 weeks or are they moving it to weekly?
