This has been a crazy week, but Ive finally got a moment to post again.

114. Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon S - Raetsel_Lapin

I dont think Ive ever seen anything quite like the attempted CGI renders of the characters in this intro. Theyre actually vaguely unsettling. In fact, seeing the part where these doll-like creatures dance (starting at around 0:43), I cant help but imagine a severed head theyre dancing around. Most horrifying of all is the image of that one characters mouth opening and closing near the end.

Its also really jarring the way the visuals keep switching between standard animation and this weird CGI. Im guessing theyre trying to show the way the characters have progressed from the cartoon to a video game, but it comes across like two different intros poorly edited together.

To be fair, Sailor Moon is a tough sell for me, regardless of my issues here with the presentation. I dislike the laziness of the character designs in this franchise, where the characters appear virtually interchangeable. Perhaps they have unique personalities, but that simply doesnt come across in this intro.

Lastly, while this version of the song is at least more lively than the one used in the American TV show intro, Im still not a fan of how repetitive it is.
