COMPARISON || Sailor Senshi (Inner + Outer) Attacks - 90s vs Sailor Moon Eternal (2021)

Hello! Just to clarifying some things here. I changed the pitches of the voices from SME version, thus that is not their original voice. ❤

One of the elements that make the 90's version great is the music.

I really love how Mercury's attack looked in the 90's version. The size of the harp makes it look more realistic, Mercury's sitting pose makes it look more like she's playing it, and near the end of her attack we can actually hear the harp!

Everyone has mentioned great points about 90s art style, colors, choreo and sfx. But another thing is that their voice actors also feels more powerful. They understood their powers and attacks, and stressed on the impactful parts to make the attack really punch. The elegance in Mercury's "Rhapsody", the grit and dynamic added into the "Mars!", "Evolution", "Shock!", "Shaking!" are so satisfying to the ear. In the new version, it feels like they're just screaming it out for the sake of it, without really paying attention to what the spells mean.

圧倒的90’s ウラヌスの力強さとネプチューンの優美さが芸術の域に達してるよ……

The 90's versions just hit harder. The music, the the animation, the designs, colours, sound effects, they all feel heavier and make the attacks look way cooler. I know things are different now, but it's a shame that they made Sailor Moon look like Pretty Cure even if they are from the same studio.

新しいやつは作画も綺麗でキラキラしてて、これはこれで幼女の憧れ感あって良いな～。可愛い。 とか思ってたけど、比べて観ちゃうと旧の方が声も力強くて目線にある種の凄みがセーラー゛戦士゛なんだなと分かってしまって、もう旧が神

現代と比較するたび、ことごとくクラシックの価値が上がっていくという不思議なシリーズ。作画力、演技力、キャスティング力、すべて９０年代が高かった。

圧倒的90s… この頃の描写も雰囲気も間も声優さんもやっぱこれだって思わせる女の子の憧れの可愛いもかっこいいも全部詰まってるの最高すぎなんだよ…

I generally liked the 90s ones better. The detail of hand drawn animation makes it raw and cool. CGI while impressive is common and it didn't have the oomph the 90s versions did.

それぞれのよさはあるかもしれない…けど、90年代が好き過ぎる。もうウラネプのBGMが流れるだけで、テンションが上がる💕 90年代はキラキラし過ぎず、戦士なんだよなぁ✨

90sの見せ方や緩急・スピード感がカッコ良すぎる。 リメイク版も綺麗だし線が繊細で書き分け細かかったりするけど、セル当時の見せ方や演出の仕方が新しくも本当にクールで上手すぎる。

90年代は声優さんが力強くてかっこいい

力強さ、演出、声の間の取り方 90年代が神すぎた

the older actors had so much more oomph in their deliveries. the new voices sound so little

The 90's versions had so much weight and depth. The first thing I noticed was how shiny everything looks in the 90's version, and I mean that as a good thing- the water is so dark that the highlights sparkle, y'know like light reflecting on water? Their tiaras too look like gold- an actual metal with weight and depth and different color values- as opposed to gold-colored plastic. In the 90's version, Venus' lips didn't just sparkle for no reason; she was clearly wearing lipstick or gloss that shimmered in the light, something that is conspicuously absent in the new version. There was so much love and attention put into every detail of the 90's version. The new one looks like it was drawn by a teenager who's finally starting to get the hang of digital art. It's not bad, they've got all the basics down, but they don't understand things like line weight or temperature or values yet and that makes their art just more generic anime filler that gets lost in the deviantArt archives.

The 90s versions have extremely strong choreography and serious weight to their movement. They obviously benefit from being stock footage assigned to the best sakuga animators on staff, but the analog colors and the more realistic anatomy of 90s character designs emphasize the weight of every movement. The 2021 versions are… not bad, but they follow the modern style of having a lot of superfluous movement, which makes the whole thing less impactful and makes it feel more like random flailing around than the buildup to a power being unleashed. Usagi’s attacks and transformations also had this issue in the original series, and for that they are imo a lot less memorable than anyone else’s.

90s Uranus forever. No one can compare to that voice, but 2021 visual is amazing. 2021 Venus is very cute with that giggle. Overall they did a good job picking the voice actors.

90年代は当時見てる頃から、日常シーンは普通の顔も変顔もあるのに、技出す前の顔のカットがドキッとするほど美しかったり、可愛かったり、日常とは違う戦う女の子達のかっこよさが引きたって当時めっちゃ憧れたなぁ…

90年のほうが好みかな。 水の柔らかさとか光の書き方とかが、リアルなんだけどアニメ風に描かれてるのが良い。
