I don't know either, but as it stands right now... people are actually believing that SM will be dead because of Crystal and that the states will be lucky if Stars ever gets dubbed because of a (and I somewhat agree) "slightly better" cast that consists of ACTUAL known and experienced veteran voice actors. I know that SM will be around for a while because of merchandising and that somewhat makes me happy but it sickens me to no end that people still talk shit about Crystal (well, sailor moon in general) and say that "old franchises deserve to die".
I'm not going to put the blame solely on Toei (even though I should because Dragon Ball Kai is a flat out rehash with prettier filters for some scenes but otherwise recycled footage) but I will say that it seems that lately they just don't give a fuck about older franchises if they can still bleed them dry...

capitalism is seizing their brains, all about dat money. some blame also lies with the fans who are gobbling it up and accepting that this series is sub-par and not what we should be getting for two years of stalling.
crystal is not going to be the end of anything; there are plenty of fans out there adamantly (and blindly) defending that it is the perfect incarnation of sailor moon and can do no wrong. at all.
also in other news we now know what chibi usa looks like, please go look this up. the art style looks so weird on her for some reason??? augh.

so apparently, the blu-rays don't fix a damned thing... I'm seeing a lot of hate coming from the very people who were pointing out the "poor" quality of the webcast toward the "inferior" blu-rays.
*sigh* and it's not much better with the redub/remaster of the original series either

the blu-rays fix a few of the errors and make the art look a little less shitty. i'll be honest and say i haven't watched smc in like 2 months because i'm that freaking mad about what they've done with it. apparently there's a lot less in the way of horrible art happening in more recent episodes but i can't bring myself to watch them yet, i need some time to just ...... not be angry about crystal.

I haven't watched in a long time either... but the complaints from people just looking for something to hate is starting to piss me off. I mean I love Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, but I'm not blind to the flaws that are prevalent in it either.
Yet SMC is getting shat upon and JJBA is getting praised... *sigh*

I actually finished up watching the first arc about .. a month ago? At the very least they managed to get their art style cemented in so there's a lot less in the ways of errors and keeping with the character models, so I guess that's a good thing. However, I noticed they greatly extended the life of the Shittenou, using some excuse of "ROMANTIC SUBPLOT!" ... but then never really going anywhere with it.
It was literally, "oh hey we kinda loved you guys once upon a time." >the dudes die in like .5 seconds after that revelation >end of subplot
It was kinda hilarious.
Meanwhile, I hear in the Black Moon arc, the sisters, having no way to throw romantic subplot in apparently, all die on schedule.
Usagi, I've noticed, is trash in this iteration of the series. She's focused on the shallow reasons of liking Mamoru and is horribly ignorant to her friends - which is another thing that bothers me, we are being shoved that they are friends down our faces, but it's never really /shown/. The girls' interactions are all so static, it hurts.

I came back to it after a while, noticed the same things you did... at least I'm not hearing about the art anymore and that those people are now complaining about legitimate issues.

i think at this point we can all just complain this is a horrible attempt at bringing sailor moon back and 80% of the fanbase hates it.
way to not do the series justice, toei :<

merch has been amazing, I think that's the lifeblood that justifies crystal's existence now...

i'm still laughing over how they've taken so long to push crystal designs for characters onto the merch
it's all so good though, i'm okay with this
