In some shows the transformation is just for us, the audience. There are times when the characters would shout their phrase and will be in uniform in less than a second. Also in the 1st season of pretty cure, dual aurora wave is so powerful that the villains can't do anything about it
Videos like this make me realize just how talented old school animators were. They had to be very skilled because they couldn't depend as much on technology. The level of attention to detail and creative direction is insane, and trumps a lot of newer animation. Kudos to them.
The original SuperS transformation saved me from myself over the course of a single school year. I stuck around to see how the season would finish… and although I didn’t get to watch that, I was still alive by the end of the school year. I thanked the English dub voice actress, Linda Ballantyne, face to face one time at an anime convention. I cried for joy instead of sadness that time. 💖💕
Crystal flopped cause they seem to try to change or modernized something that’s been rooted deep in the hearts of many; the 90’s animations for either transformation and attack clips seem to be very well thought out, highly curated, and carefully presented through its every little details from each movements, the background songs and little vocals, to the colors and illustrations. Hence even if I have watched it millions of times, it still and always brings such a wonderful feeling and I never grow tired nor bored of it. Anyway, thanks for putting this up! GREAT WORK xxoo
In any part of the Sailor Moon transformations regardless of the classic and the new gen, I always love the red ribbon and the silver threads materializing as the outfit and skirt.

Nah I agree. I’m a new Sailor Moon and I agree that Sailor Moon S is the far superior season and Super S sort of lost me but Sailor Stars is a little bit better than Super S.
@@coffeecal1997 supers is my least favorite season because I’m almost done with sailor stars and I can say it’s my favorite season but a more depressing season tho
I used to dislike Super S, but in my recent rewatch of the series 5 years after last seeing that season, I liked it better. Though yeah it was so bloated and filler. S is defo best season, but the real season I dislike is R, it's just a pain in the ass to sit through with Chibiusa acting like such a pain in the ass.
during my first watch i stopped at sailor moon S because i thought it couldn’t get any better, i watched the first few episodes of SuperS but it wasn’t the same. fast forward two years later, i finally watch Sailor Stars and become obsessed the new sailor soldiers work so well with the original cast and the plot is interesting and engaging, it’s in my opinion perfect although S will always have a special place in my heart
I think moon prism power in crystal was good for only FIRST epsoide. To make impact. And i loved it from the start I mean or nostalgia came back. But they used the same long transformation every single epsoide except ep 9 (I still cry to that epsoide lol) every transformation is so good!!!
Holy crap the cacophony of Usagi's voices from all 8 clips HAHAHA. I like how it shows that the seiyuu managed to keep the voice over the years. Interestingly, the 3D transformation for Moon Prism Power in Crystal is ironically the longest... Longest transformation for 1990s: Eternal Sailor Moon Shortest transformation for 1990s + Crystal: Super Sailor Moon with Super Sailor Chibi Moon The 1990s had some interesting concepts executed in the transformations, but it was different from the magical girl transformations predating it for sure. Furthermore, it being hand drawn does help it have more realistic movements and smoother animation that Crystal tends to flop at if you pay too close attention to them. It's also faster. In the modern Crystal, the transformations are much slower and fluid in the sense that it's less rigid. It also comes with more fluff and details since it is digitally animated. However, Crystal reminds me too much of Pretty Cure's modern transformations, especially for the non-3D animation for Sailor Moon. The way the camera follows Usagi's limbs is reminiscent of Pretty Cure transformations in the same time period Crystal aired. Very curious to see how Crystal Eternal Sailor Moon transformation will be done.
I thought Moon Crystal Power for Sailor Moon Crystal merely swapped out Sailor Moon’s compact. I never realized they cut the whole transformation short too! 😖
@@CincyRazAre you sure all season 2 crystal transformation sequences are cut? Might have been a one episode thing because of time management? Because if you are aure and it is like that, crazy I never noticed as well having rewatched crystal many times.
Here is what I like best from each transformation: Original - everything, because it's OG. R - The Compact being guided to the chest, the wings, the skirt appearance, the few feathers that appear here and there, the final pose S - The heart outline around her while she spins, her pony tails spiral, the one foot in the air getting booted Super S - The double compact hearts, Chibi Moon's silhouette appearing in front of SM, the double fanned skirts, the mother-daughter kiss pose - and that it lasts for more than a beat Stars - The feathers from no where, THE WINGS, the angel pose mid transformation, the tail ribbons on the final pose I don't like anything from Crystal or Eternal.
Just what we all suspected: the season 1 Crystal Moon Prism henshin is… astonishingly longer than any of the rest 😅 I really like all of them though, I can’t even pick a favorite.
I really like what Crystal did with the animation, like I'm all for having something new as the transformation sequence. Since the 90s series was so iconic, I'd want the new version to be something different, especially given the difference in technology available. What I did not like was the score. It just sounds like something yanked from Naruto. The 90s transformations all had superior scores to me, like I will listen to OG Season 1's transformation sequence on loop while I work, it's just that good. Meanwhile, Crystal just did not hype me up the same way. So I think that really just hurt the Crystal transformations, and when they just replicated the Dream transformation it even further brought comparison, and I prefer the 90s version not for nostalgia, but because of the score. Note that this is coming from someone who just picked up Sailor Moon for the first time this past October. So I have no attachment to the 90s anime in the slightest. Anyway, thanks for putting this together!! Always nice to have all of the sequences in one video for easy comparison lol
Wait...did anyone else notice the two longest were the final one from the original series and the first one from the new series. That bottom left just gave us all life though
The worst part is that there were episodes were they would literally show all of the transformations without cuts, so you would end up with 4-5 minutes of stock footage
Great video! 😊❤ I feel like after the Sailor Moon Cosmos movies come out next month (OMG Part 1 comes out in 4 weeks! 😯😳😢), this video might need to get redone to include the new version of Eternal Sailor Moon.
a server in Sailor Moon simulator be like with ALL the players as Usagi/Sailor Moon: MOON _______ POWER MAKE UP!!!!!!!!!! Me: aw shit here we go again.
Prism: the og Crystal: O_O WINGS OF FIRE I DON'T KNOW JAPANESE Cosmic: YOU SPIN ME RIGHT ROUND BABY RIGHT ROUND LIKE A RECORD BABY DON'T STOP DON'T STOP Crisis: Rainbow Power... MAKEEE UP!!!! (watch MLP Rainbow Power transformation) Eternal: the most GODLY of the main 5
From the 90s, I like “Moon Prism Power Make Up”, especially when Sailor Moon lifts up her foot. I’ve never seen any of the other episodes or seen Sailor Uranus or Sailor Pluto or Sailor Saturn, etc. Well, not etc, per se. I saw a different Sailor Moon’s Transforming and Attacks video, which shows Sailor Chibi Moon, and a video where we hear the song “She’s Got The Power”. m.ru-vid.com?sp=mAEA&search_query=she%27s+got+the+power+sailor+moon#bottom-sheet
I was watching Pokedaxi on the accidents relating to Pokemon Go. while the video loading, I opened another tab and went back to this, thinking it was the video being played. Imagine listening about death and the first image was "I love this. You should do the same for the transformation". me: WHAT??????
