 With
the weird plot point of the interspecies love concept Luna has, Sailor
Moon S is definitely to far out for anyone consider that this title
to be Americanized. Despite this rather wild element, the focus
on the cat's quest for knowledge really makes for a good story.
Still, like all other Japanese TV series' movies, the plot is extremely
dark when compared to the source material.
A unique,
solid story is about the only recognizable improvement in this theatrical
film from its preceding TV show. The animation quality is not any
more admirable than the original show with the exception of a few cool
looking computer effects. Also all other technical elements about
this film are only equal to its TV show. Being a Sailor Moon
fan, I appreciate the new opening credit sequence, but it cannot be thought
highly of by those unfamiliar with the series.
For a theatrical
feature, Sailor Moon S does not measure up to most films, but
it does show the full potential of the possible stories that can be
written for this series. Ignoring the lack luster animation, Sailor
Moon S should be found enjoyable by most anime fans.
