PostSubject: The Inconsistency that is Neo-Queen Serenity   The Inconsistency that is Neo-Queen Serenity I_icon_minitime12th June 2016, 5:35 am

So when we first saw the redrawn flashbacks of Neo-Queen Serenity for the first episode, she had silver hair. Then the Super Sailor Moon episode graced us with another Neo-Queen Serenity appearance, except this time she's blonde. At first majority claimed this to be an animation error because they've already established they were going with the silver hair due to episode 1. However, we're at Chibiusa thinking that her Mum was Hotaru in the latest episode, and Neo-Queen Serenity is STILL blonde. 

So, my question is, another animation error? Or do you think the writers are just trying to make a 'homage' to the Classic's Neo Queen Serenity? And if so, do you think it was a right move? Or do you think her hair was changed so that Toei and Bandai can just sell the old Neo-Queen Serenity merchandise?

Personally, I don't mind it because I can still see a difference between Neo-Queen Serenity and Princess Serenity (unlike the 90s where they looked too much alike), but I think the inconsistency is beginning to bother me because the whole of Season 2 portrayed her to have silver hair. I know they're trying to make Season 3 a stand alone, granted that the whole animation was completely changed- but it doesn't change the fact that it's still Crystal. What's bothering me is the inconsistency. Does it bother anyone else, or is it just me?

It bothers me because I never know who she's supposed to be at any given time since now there seems to be no distinction between NQS and Princess Serenity. In the latest ending, she appears with PRINCE Endymion, not King, which begs the question, is she even NQS there or Princess Serenity? Same with when Uranus Neptune and Pluto knelt in front of her formally acknowledging her as Princess, she has NQS' design again despite the manga having it as Princess Serenity.

I disagree - there's a much clearer distinction in the 90s anime because their dresses are clearly different. In Crystal they've virtually made Princess and Queen into one person now, in this season at least. In the manga their design is very similar as well, and their hair colors are also both silver.

I think this is a very confusing decision tbh. I hope it's just a mistake they would fix really late (like the blonde-haired Queen Serenity in the opening of Crystal's first season).

Well, I probably shouldn't say much, considering I'm not up to date on Crystal at all, but I'm just chalking it up to them changing the animation and the silver hair is just early installment weirdness. I actually favor blonde haired NQS and sliver haired Princess Serenity because it feels like Usagi is keeping a part of herself I guess? I mean, the hair color difference also makes it easier to tell them apart, other than NQS looking a bit older and having a different dress style.

I guess the 90s did have some distinction, but you gotta admit that Season 2 Neo-Queen Serenity and Princess Serenity are very different. They made her look very mature- almost similar to her mother. I think this Season made it more confusing... I mean the 90s anime did kinda struck me as not being able to tell who is who, especially in the end of Sailor Moon R when Usagi supposedly turned into Neo-Queen Serenity but she's still the same...but I understand you see it differently ^^ And yeah, I do hope they fix this because the inconsistency is bothering me.

That's the issue though, both NQS and PS are now blonde so there's no distinction between them. And in Season 3 NQS looks really young in comparison to Season 2 so it just kinda makes it more difficult to tell between the two. The only saving grace is the different in the back ribbon, other than that they're exactly alike.

In season 2 yeah, definitely, especially with NQS having silver hair while Princess Serenity is blonde. I just meant as compared to Season 3 ^^

I have heard the reason why her hair is yellow was for budget reasons, which honestly makes no sense to me. I have to agree with bubbles, it can be very hard to distinguish if she is NQS or PS. If they are going to keep her hair yellow, then change her dress or Queen Selene's, but stop confusing us. 

I also feel like in this arc, it would be more of NQS and not princess serenity.

Idk if I am even making sense anymroe, so I am goign to stop.

At first I thought they were redesigning Princess Serenity and would show a newer NQS later on. Looking back, this probably didnt make sense but I didnt want to assume the worst. But I guess I shouldve seen this coming considering (what I assume to be Princess Serenity cos idk) Princess Serenity looks like NQS in the OP. Then they show Princess Serenity (as shes supposed to) in a flashback with Queen Serenity?

I also want to say that they want to do a tie in between the 20th anniversary merchandise of NQS of the 90's anime. but we still have the problem of the stark difference in dress design, and the complete redraw of the encounter between Usagi and NQS in episode 27 of Crystal.

Now, they could theoretically fix the flashback scene when Usagi first henshins into Super Sailor Moon, by removing ChibiUsa's compact. After all, ChibiUsa is 902 years old, who is to say that her mother never told her about Super Sailor Moon when she was still blonde? I don't recall it ever being made canon that NQS receives pearlescent white hair upon becoming crowned NQS. However, if it is the case, we haven't been informed of that in Crystal, so it is theoretically possible for that flashback to be corrected by means of ChibiUsa's brooch being removed and the memory being some vague moment from the future-past. ChibiUsa only received a brooch before she returned to the past to begin her training as a senshi.

On the other hand, ChibiUsa could have altered the timeline. ;-)

Princess Nee:

I couldn't help but notice the blonde NQS in the title card of your signature. 

Perhaps the White Haired NQS was the error?

Just sayin', the scene with NQS telling Chibi about Super Sailor Moon is definitely not before the events of Black Moon, brooch or not. The whole reason NQS is telling Chibiusa about SSM is because Chibi is saying "You guys are right! SM is strong! She saved Mama and Papa!" (Referring to what happened with Black Moon). 
Then NQS says "One day you'll meet an even stronger SM, Super Sailor Moon".
So either the yellow hair is a mistake, or they've officially changed it for season III. Which would be pretty dumb, as it would cause a continuity issue for people who collect all the blurays and watch the seasons all together.

That's so strange.

Why would ChibiUsa refer to her mother as someone distinct from NQS?

I mean sure there's the time issue, but I assume that ChibiUsa knows that her mother used to be Sailor Moon in the past... o.O

It's also quite strange that NQS would tell her daughter that one day she would encounter a stronger Sailor Moon than the one she met when she first ventured into the past. Why would her mom inform her that she'd be going into the past again and who she would encounter? 

So very strange.

It's probably something they calculated to use as a selling point for the DVDs.

I do admit it is a bit odd that they show her with blonde hair and the flipping back and forth between Princess Serenity and NQS. It's not like that in the manga were they just show her as Princess Serenity nor the 90's anime where there is a distinction between them seeing as NQS's gown is different than her princess one. Only thing I can think of is either product selling or animation error. It is easy to fix in the DVD release hopefully thought. As for product selling, it's a bit odd since if they are doing a 90's throw back, how are they trying to sell newer products then?

I think majority of the chosen design variations for the manga are for the sake of selling older products. I mean they basically used the 90s Super Sailor Moon, because Manga's SSM had rainbow collar and skirt. But I think NQS being blonde is also for the sake of selling old NQS items...which I think is pretty stupid but I guess selling old products is better than making new ones.

RE: Super Sailor Moon's collar

I think that depends what artwork they were sourcing from the manga:

The Inconsistency that is Neo-Queen Serenity 3-25

As to NQS being blonde in Season 3, I agree, it's a marketing ploy for both Princess Serenity and 90s NQS merchandise. The problem with the latter is the difference in gown and the colour scheme of the tiara. However, I suspect that Crystal is basically 20th anniversary SM advertising, and not quite a serious series which is why they didn't invest in it as much as they could, or deviate from the manga.

Agreed. Plotwise, I think they are sticking to the manga, but in terms of designs, they're trying to stick close to the 90s versions to advertise more. As for the art, I can see what you mean, though I've always thought Super Sailor Moon's outfit was like this:

Dream Arc:

but maybe this was the colour scheme for the Dream Arc...

As for NQS, I feel like if its not for product placement, they've gotten the mythos wrong because her hair only does ever turn silver after Chibiusa, before that she was clearly blonde... But I was also thinking, they might have had a difficult time deviating the colours from the flashback because majority of it was really white, so it would partially make sense to make her blonde to stand out more...but still...very inconsistent.

I would answer that it's just you and you alone who thinks like this, Neo-King Kronos, cause you asked that in the first post but since many others apparently share this viewpoint, it would be more favourable with you all in the future if I change my mind and agree with everybody, don't you think? ^_^ I'm just joking, but anyways, whilst the inconsistency makes it difficult to tell Princess Serenity and Neo Queen Serenity apart (for example in the Tuxedo Mask ending song among a few others, like one of you said), it doesn't bother me much. It's more likely that it's a homage to the 90's anime and it particularly is an art style-related jomage since the previous animation and the art style who some disliked, was one of the most widely criticized aspects of it. It's a mistake though, cause not only it creates this beloved incosistency but it also is just slightly unfaithful to the manga. I won't think this rudely about the creators though, and hope it's a mere error and this problem is resolved and that NQS will look much more ravishing with her silver hair, of course.

Well, some part of me thinks that season 3 is something of a reboot of Crystal. Namely that it's supposed to stand on its own,but that's just me. The art style itself stands on its own compared to season 1 and 2.

The real world reason I think is they're trying to make season three more of a homage to the 90s anime, hence you see the return of stock footage and the goofy facial expressions.  To play devil's advocate, maybe NQS has blonde hair later in the arc because Usagi hasn't completely become NQS yet.  Like maybe she's in some weird transition phase and she'll get her silver hair when she officially becomes NQS?

I'll grant that to be the case for Usagi of the present transforming into NQS, though there is the problem that she becomes significantly mature in the process (note the lips and eyes), which hints at it being more of an animation and continuity era. The same would apply to ChibiUsa's pre-return to the past flashbacks where NQS is depicted with blonde hair.

I can understand the 90's Super Sailor Moon. The series has been doing a few good throw backs to older fans. But for product selling, if they are trying to get people of new generations into Sailor Moon Crystal, then it's just silly advertising the older series merchandise. As someone who does like both, I wouldn't mind having a figurine of the newer NQS with the more manga styled gown and I believe others wouldn't either. As for making the figurines or other merchandise I don't think it would be too hard to make but that might be another story.

The issue becomes one of whether they want to invest in the Crystal franchise long term, or if it's just a marketing ploy.

It took quite a long time for them to issue Jupiter and Venus in the Figuarts Zero line inspired by the designs of Crystal. I was convinced at one point that they had just stopped with season 1 and 2 design inspired merchandise when season 3 was released as season 3 allowed them to be able to market the older merchandise without going so far as creating new merchandise, because the designs were remarkably closer to Classic, even if done in pastels.

They interestingly did sell that limited edition Petit Chara figure of Princess Serenity with silver hair at that Sailor Moon muesuem event so hopefully we'll get a NQS one too.  But it doesn't seem like we get much NQS merch in general other than the random plushie.

Ah, that's a good point. Investment is important because you don't want to loose more than what you put in.  I do remember they did take longer for Jupiter and Venus and I can understand that investment wise, it would be easier selling something everybody recognizes than something new.

Honestly? I'm going to be annoyed if they made Neo Queen Serenity's hair blond just to please the nonstalgia watchers. It's an inconsistancy since we've seen her with white hair. And yes I know that NQS had blond hair before she gave birth to Chibiusa, so hopefully they'll fix the frame when she's talking to her daughter in the future.
