I mean, I can totally understand why people have issues with the animation in Sailor Moon Crystal. I don’t like some of the wonkiness either.

I just get tired of people focusing excursively on that when I think there are some wonderful things going on with SMC story wise. There is perhaps even more more emphasis on how lonely and isolated the senshi were before meeting Usagi than in the previous anime. SMC is already making strides to show the strength of their relationships, which is wonderful and so important for a female audience. Supportive female relationships have been one of the defining traits of Sailor Moon. We’re getting the manga characterizations, which were frankly more consistent, and imo, better than the original anime. There is great voice acting overall, and some wonderful humour. There has also been some wonderful character development from Ami, Rei and Usagi. Ami is gaining more confidence, Rei is realized her powers are nothing to be ashamed of and Usagi is showing more and more that her true power and heroic ability is reaching out to people. ANd also some really badass moments. 

If people are cringing over SMC’s animation that that’s fine. I’ve cringed over it too. But I find a lot of really good, worthwhile things about the series, and I feel like they’re sometimes being glossed over or ignored entirely in favour of criticizing the animation. But if the show just really doesn’t work for you, then okay! I just wanted to express the elements in the show so far that are important to me.
