OMG IM SO HAPPY!!!! Am I the only one who thought the part where Usagi and Mamoru stare at each other in the rain was too cute.  


Update:

Clearer version of the transformation.

I am in love with the opening! <3
I like the beginning and ending parts with flowers (it reminds me of the first SNK opening tbh) and the attacks look so amazing! I like the title card too (the thing that said Act 1 and appeared for 2 seconds)
The transformation is in 3D, and I don't know if it bothers me or not, but it has a really nostalgic feel to it, which I like.

Does anyone know who that queen is? Neo Queen Serenity or Queen Serenity because she is wearing Queen Serenity's dress but has blonde hair. 

UsaxMamo. It was just too adorable. I'm glad they put more screen time for him in this opening.

Omg, I am crying! It starts off a little slow but I started freaking out when everyone else in the room did! Sugoi!   Still donno about the Henshin, but the opening makes me so happy... Its been so long!

I can only imagine they made the decision to have queen serenity have blonde hair like her daughter and not white... /sad

CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW CUTE THEIR CLOTHS ARE THO? Also this new anime is going to have me shipping Usagi/Mamoru just wait.

Like Feorin, I'm crying lol I have no idea why. I LOVE the intro and the animation for the transformation sequence is amazing. I can't waitt!

I love, love, LOVE the scenes in the rain~ With the umbrellas! I am so happy with what I've seen of all this. I cannot wait for July 7!

I LOVED EVERYTHING!!!!
The song is amazing! Also, the opening *_* Mamoru!!! Queen Beryl!! The shitennou!! omgomgomg!!! Also the clothes!! It seems they have similar clothes to the original ones but with a modern twist! I like it!! 
I did liked the transformation, I'm happy they kept the pink ribbons!! I'm not really a fan of the 3D though...

I'M SO EXCITED I CAAAANT WAIT        

I loved Queen Beryl, I was so excited when I saw her!!

I hope they don't try to use the sequence as a time cruncher for each episode.

But I am pleasantly surprised to see that they kept the ribbon effect of the transformation sequence.  

It's nice to see so many characters included in the opening (both the main villains and even Queen Serenity), and Moon Pride sounds awesome! The OP seemed to have quite many tinier details (like Ami crying in the beginning), and from what we got to see of the girls' outfits in the umbrella scene, they look pretty thus far.
The part with the shots of the senshi's faces in the end of the opening was one of my favorites.

Sailor Candy - If you mean the music, it was actually composed by the same person who did Shingeki's openings.

Omg i loved that so much i freaked when i saw beryl and honestly i'm in love with that transformation. I seriously can not wait for this.

Is there like an HQ video of this anywhere?!?! I'M FREAKING OUT

Im so excited for Saturday!

omg i screamed so loud when I saw tux.... I am beyond excited for this.

Awesome opening! It started slow, but then the umbrella scene happened and it was all uphill from there! And the transformation was simple, but still fancy. The 3D effect makes it look like she's in a different dimension.

I Totally Cried Watching This. I'm Utterly In Love With The Opening!!!!

mamoru still has the classic green jacket, just in a nicer green. wahh

I also love the little spin that everyone except for Usagi do at the end. It was really cute.

THE OPENING IS THE BEST THING THAT HAS COME OUT OF CRYSTAL!! THE GENERALS ARE IN THEIR FORMAL UNIFORMS!!!         

The transformation looks like crap.   

Sorry guys this is the worst thing that has come out of Crystal in my opinion. To me it looks like it's something from a PS2 game. Toei can't do CGI at all. >.<

this has been going around the net today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBYsyJGc7DQ

Looks promising, too bad I can't wake up at 5:00 to watch it.

I saw it.

Her body looks super rubbery when she transforms.

I agree that the transformation is bad but using CGI kinda makes sense. Since the transformation sequence doesn't really happen in their real world.

The opening was amazing.

Her transformation looked kinda rubbery, though.

@Lily It doesn't blend well at all with the 2D animation. I am okay with the use of CGI in 2D animations, but it has to be able to blend well. Her transformation looks like an eye sore to me. Toei has never really been good with CGI. They use it in their Precure series. The transformations and weapons/attacks are mix between CGI and 2D. Then the endings are all in CGI. Toei has improved with their CGI and at times the cures' transformations and attacks blend well with the 2D. But most of the time it looks god awful. I guess I'm spoiled by Pixar.

Loved it except for the transformation.  

i watched it this morning, at work, i seriously was shaking of excitement, i had to control it and i teared up a little, i'm so happy!!!! *-*
