Sailor Mars vs Koan / Karmesite comparison: Old and New Version

Comparison Sailor Moon R and Sailor Moon Crystal

[@leohino9211]

The fact that Mars was able to fight her enemy in high heels is more impressive

[@nickvincentcampos7031]

She can run too hahahahahhahaha

[@roberto-qy2ys]

She learnt from Bart Simpson: Heel Toe

[@FireMewMew]

I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT LMAO

[@noahschultz9031]

Yeah both Rei and Mina are the only Sailor Guardians that wear heels, the others just have long boots.

[@leohino9211]

@@noahschultz9031 The boots have heels. Also Michiru wears high heels too.

[@inlovewithJLT]

The original has so much more effort put into it. The camera movement, the anatomy of the characters, the facial expressions, and the choreography. In the new version they mostly stand in one spot and push their energy at each other. I've more or less been able to finally accept Crystal for what it is, but seeing it side by side with the original like this really puts into focus how little care is put into the animation this time around.

[@inlovewithJLT]

+Clockotaku22 Like a beautiful piece of stretched out taffy

[@Luzitanium]

so true, even the sounds effects are so perfect on whats going on.

[@brezzainvernale]

Hi, I prefer the 90's version too...

[@KOTEBANAROT]

Not to mention, like... the emotions behind 90's battle, as Koan is actually a character here, with her own goals, desires, fears etc, so the viewer doesn't just root for Rei, but is also able to sympathize with her enemy.

[@Kfowlkes09]

+it me. In the manga Koan was a murderer that burned a child to death during her search for Chibiusa. You gonna cheer for her over Mars then?

[@KanonelsebasBlogspot]

For me, it's the music in the classic. And the fight itself

[@squirrelfish927]

For me, one of the highlights of Sailor Moon R were the battles between Koan and Sailor Mars. For the most part, battles in Sailor Moon are just stock animation, poof, dead. However when Koan and Mars clash, they really put their all into it: blasting each other with fire, using physical attacks, and there's a huge sense of back and forth. It shows how much more fun it is when your villain and your hero are evenly matched. There's a genuine sense of suspense, as there is no way of knowing who is the strongest. It's way more exciting then the Crystal battles, where the Sisters just completely overpower the Senshi with little to no effort until a convenient Moon Princess Halation kills them dead. And let's face it, in Crystal, Berthier made Ami look absolutely pathetic, even though they normally make her look like a chump or the weakling of the Senshi. Seriously, that snow attack and a really half arsed Double Team. Berthier just was like LOL NOPE. Bitch bought her A Game.

[@BrendonLee]

The rivalry between the Inner Senshis and the Ayakashi sisters were the highlight of Season 2 for me. I know they were padding the episodes to buy more time for the manga but it actually added to the drama and made every showdown more intense.

[@Nocturne22]

The chess match between Bethier and Mercury in the 90's anime was an excellent example of brain not brawn. The fact that Mercury was going to win even after Bertheir cheated really showed the genius of Ami.

[@joelchevalier4317]

The graphics and visual effects are awesome in the new Crystal version, the powers of the senshis seem stronger. However, as a big Sailor Mars fan... I prefer the old one. She's gutsy, strong, passionate and fearless. I know the new Mars is more like the one in the mangas, but I find her so boring. She's calm, quiet and not that strong. I had a hard time watching the series because of that.

[@olivergaspar6729]

Completely agree! Mars was one of my fave characters in the original and definitely my fav in the first season

[@claudiusgomez4132]

​@@olivergaspar6729Upon a rewatch, I agree. She's mean (though gets better later), but it's nice to see someone push back against Usagi. It feels like everyone in the manga worships her, on the other hand.

[@JoeyLamontagne]

The original anime added character to the sisters as Crystal removed any character and essentially became the MotD

[@nangbaby]

More like Crystal took the Sisters back to the way they were in the manga. It wouldn't have been bad if it weren't so rushed. Putting even a little filler in the fights would have at least made it more interesting.

[@lexingtonmasqueradestoryte8986]

Nangbaby Though I agree, that wasn't the goal of Crystal; the goal was to make it hew a lot closer to the manga (even with the addition of the Shiten'ou romance in the first arc, which was implied in expanded manga materials anyway). Makes me wary for the next arc, particularly cyborg-Hotaru.

[@nangbaby]

That's assuming we *get* another arc.

[@lexingtonmasqueradestoryte8986]

They did say 'A bientot' (french for 'see you later') which most of the SM Japanese fan community is taking as the confirmation.

[@FenrirEX]

+Nangbaby Confirmed a few days ago. Infinity is coming.

[@FireMewMew]

Sailor Moon R: Koan beats the crap out of Mars but Mars is ok Sailor Moon Crystal: Koan almost burns Mars and Rubius takes Mars away

[@highwind9984]

OLD:Human play the role with a lot of detail expression NEW:Robot play the role with standard expression So I prefer the OLD: And the music too.

[@BriEntAnderson]

highwind99 you have to admit mars powers looks hella powerful.

[@kstarnovagal6672]

+BriEntAnderson Agree the Crystal attacks look powerful but they NEVER do anything past their introduction episodes

[@aldilahs]

she burned child to death, so I prefer the new one i.servimg.com/u/f48/16/58/79/49/screen26.jpg

[@Keithdivastator]

Old, old and old

[@nangbaby]

Definitely. I know the newer one is closer to the manga, but Sailor Mars got ONE cool hit in Sailor Moon Crystal. ONE. And then she was hit with the inescapable wall of flame.

[@TheRenegadeStarr]

The classic version will always have a place in my heart. I also love the new version and how dramatic it is. I would of enjoyed multiple rounds like in the original but I understand it's the manga

[@lxmychil]

Manga is better

[@tobennaokoli4450]

I wish the sailor guardians in SMC got to actually be strong. Every single time a they go up against a bad guy they get beaten and/or captured. How the HECK did they end up being protectors of the princess if they keep getting beaten.

[@xXCreamPuffsXx]

I know.. Naoko Takeuchi is a bitch towards the inner senshi.. making them always look weak, and never winning.

[@gissneric]

The old one wins just because of that awesome sound at 00:15.

[@dimmkah]

The way they were edited together at the end works amazingly well, like they were filling in blanks.

[@carlwilliams7333]

I honestly love Crystal because I'm comparing it to the Manga and not the old version, but it would be cool to see an updated version of the old Sailor moon, especially now that they can be a lot edgier than they were back then

[@olivergaspar6729]

I love the manga, but compared to that crystal is trash. I hate the changes they made in the Story in season 1 (shitennou X senshi romance, Venus not killing beryl Poor Venus is robbed from her proper spot light in every version, Lack of humor)

[@souseiseki90]

Old one, i am one of those people who think that when it come to which one is better is 50/50 but i hate mars new burning mandala is just shooting fireball. The fire wheel look unique and sharp. And the battle is longer. I want to see more battle between the sisters and thensailor soldiers intensely. Both series still dont have that.

[@ShiniKimura]

I never liked Burning Mandala in the 2nd season of Crystal because it wasn't perfectly circle. The top half of the Mandala is off center and it bothers me so much. Also... Crystal's animation in general. UGH. Old by far. It's the best by far. Much more emotion.

[@orionpk]

While the crystal version looks prettier, the old one is way more developed in terms of story (in this episode of koan and mars) and better animation/music and fight scenes

[@18kurama]

The old is and always will be the best for it has cemented Sailor Moon in history. 😇

[@tricejam5026]

the new one looks like power point slide . WTF with the 0 frame scene change

0:52 they used the sailor saturn song ost tragic battle

[@violetvalentine5040]

Ayakashi Sisters are OP as fuck yet they all die from one Moon Princess Halation

[@kstarnovagal6672]

Sorry but the original actually brings tension to the table, there’s an actual fight. Crystal/Manga it was just you knew that all the girls were going to get kidnapped (the Mars fight was the stupidest one), the biggest twist was that Venus was saved.

[@kyletotheface]

I appreciate seeing the strength of Mars and how hard she fought. ❤️❤️❤️

[@skadi7654]

Do they really need to render panel by panel and making 0 frame scene change from panel to panel ?

[@sophie.9092]

I like storyline from 90's anime better than Manga/ Crystal. In Manga/Crystal Sailor senshis just killed Ayakashi Sisters but in 90's anime senshis healed them.

[@grooveur]

The old one, definitly. The music of T. Arisawa is Irreplaceable ! With rythm ! The new music have no real notes, just some choral effects. And drawings...... They do not respect the skeleton !! Too much special effects. Characters are flabby, too skinny with babby faces. Rule n°1 in draws : respect the skeleton.

[@TheLurkinglurker]

Old one was way better imo! Love the soundtrack too!

[@bombarber123]

I'm gonna judge the battles only Manga: Greater, intense flames; beaten waayyyyy too easily Oldie Anime: A tiny bit lackluster, but still put up a better decent fight

[@quangduy9x]

poor Mars :(

[@mayborneflower]

To be fair, in the old anime, she actually won both of her solo fights with Koan.

[@valentinomays3654]

mayborneflower thank you very much. Lol... Their being awfully shady indeed. They didn't show the 90's complete version of that fight. I remember her winning

[@mayborneflower]

Yeah. Their first fight went a lot like how it did in Crystal and the manga only for Mars to win via Deus ex Machina by unlocking Burning Mandala. The second fight, shown here, has Mars turn the tides and win, leaving them both injured. Rubeus then came in and gave Koan a bomb to kamikaze herself and Mars with; right before it goes off, Venus knocked the bomb into the sky while Jupiter detonated it in midair. Anyways, yadda yadda, Koan's suicidal berserker rage, yadda yadda Mars taking a knee to the gut on Koan's behalf, yadda yadda, redemption and purification for Koan. Happily ever after for all.

[@valentinomays3654]

[@matchapatissiere5146]

The season 3 of Sailor moon Crystal makes the inner senshi useless. They couldn't even defeat an enemy It will always be Sailor moon or the outer senshi.

[@joshuaaddojr5210]

You could say the same for the 90’s. It was usually Tuxedo Mask swooping in, having a speech, and just lets Sailor Moon do her special attack to defeat the villain.

[@taniaanimationstudios3538]

Original Is Way Much Better!!!!!

[@user-hw6rq3tl2q]

旧作セーラームーンとクリスタル、エターナルじゃ全く違う(声優)

[@hihihi531]

Y’all manga lovers keep reminiscing the original plot but in fact it’s not that good. Naoko wrote it in the early 90s, the storyline was simple, characters were simple, it’s either good or evil like black and white. The writer team at ToeiAnimation added so much personalities and dynamics to the original story. And don’t forget the anime was what made sailor moon known and successful outside of Japan. Literally blew up. I too read the manga first, back in 1996, hated it, then we got a VCR in ‘97 and I got the Sailor Moon video tape , immediately fell in love.

[@lxmychil]

New because it is giving manga's aura perfectly

I forgot how absolutely hideous the animation in Crystal was.

Here is something interesting, Koan from Crystal is voiced by the same actress who voiced Kagome in Inuyasha which is ironic being how Kagome looks like Rei.

I love both so much I really can't complain cause it's two different shows and stories of you ask me . Besides any one who this its crap well then create your own anime and book and see your results and if you can every get your own reboot so you can please yourself xxoo

[@sophie.9092]

Maybe. Also I think Calaveras is more powerful than Sailor Venus

Yeah, all the Spectre Sisters are more powerful than the Inner Senshi. But I guess Jupiter would have won against Petz if she wasn't under the effect of that virus.

Yeah I am gonna go with the original version for the fight. Although the animation sequence for Burning Mandala in Crystal Season 3 was way better than Crystal Season 2 and original.

[@StacyBells0806]

The new version has some bad animation... the legs and the arms are just too wrong. And the eyes, it could not convey the feelings the way the old version did/

[@adamb6130]

I imagine an alternate universe where people instead HATE the 90s and LOVE crystal

[@kstarnovagal6672]

But then Crystal would never exist

[@mk-sm4on]

蘭ねーちゃんはどこのアニメでもツノがあるのな

[@MrHippo08]

I Think that the old version has too much expression in Sailor Marses face while they fight. Sailor Mars gets her power from the "war" planet after all. But at the same time, the new version doesn't have enough expression in Koans face, a psychotic witch. The way they move and the way the physics works are alot better in the new version, but their attacks are much worse executed (the Graphics are nice, but the way they make the attacks aren't as good as the ones in the old version)But it feels like I am the only one here who gives both kritik and credit to both of the versions ._.
