Sailor Moon Cosmos

I was lucky enough to get a copy of the Japanese Blu-ray. I was pleasantly surprised with the whole movie, the soundtrack was great. The tension that was missing in Sailor Stars, it's there! Finally the original story is told. Nothing was altered or had any other changes, so if you read the Manga, you're gonna get exactly what you're expecting. Visually, the movie is stunning. You get to actually see Sailor Galaxia, in all her glory. She's ruthless and doesn't sit around doing nothing. Characters that didn't make it in the Anime... they roar. Sailors Heavy Metal Papillion, Lerhe, Mnsonme, Kakyuu, Phi, Chi, Cosmos...and the Sailor Quartet has a cute little addition. I think (Megumi H) Galaxia's voice actress was perfect; she's most known for voicing Rei in Evangelion. This is true Galaxia, I think her having a more youthful voice fit her better.

All the spells and transformation scenes are half and half; Sailormoon has two different transformations; I didn't really like the first one, but I liked the second one a lot more. "Pink Moon Crystal Power, Makeup" was okay; I laughed at the adorable little "Chibi-chibi Crystal Power, makeup". Princess Kakyuu gets her transformation, it's elegant.

The battles are beautiful.

I don't wanna spoil anything, but I will be curious how they try to translate it and emulate these characters. It won't be easy.

Everyone is in top form, and this is the true Sailor War that you didn't get to see in the original Anime.

I watched it on Blu-ray at home. No complaints.
