I don't see why it matters. They have one translation and the other guy is another translation. No matter what, you are not going to get the same translation over. You could go to 10 fansubbers and each one will have translated a line different. Now I did notice some poor grammar in parts, but saying it should be this or that over what it was is kind of dumb. From my understanding, these subs were done by Toei's themselves as well.

OH, and Mamoru calls them Bump Hair in the manga too.

Ignoring the fact that a fair amount of these lines are supposedly flat out wrong, the problem is the timing is all over the place and the text doesn't read naturally. It's stilted and really ruins the flow of the dialogue you're supposed to be reading. If a fansubber can convey that better than the professional product, there's a problem.

How do we know they are flat out wrong though? He didn't seem very sure of what some of the lines should have been, so it is just that he is translating it differently. I think Toei themselves would know what the dialog is supposed to be, but I guess it will only matter when Viz releases the show on BD.

Because a number of subbers have commented on how bad these subs apparently are, this is just the only post that sums it up succinctly.

Seriously, this article is just a total overreaction. NONE of the subbed translations are wrong compared to what the writer of the article wrote, because the sentences mean essentially the same. Just because it isn't the authors' choice of words it doesn't mean it's wrong.
SeaofSerenitySubs commented on the Crystal subs that they may be a bit incomplete, but correct in essence and just minor details are missing and from what I got from hearing it, I come to the same conclusion (judged by the German subs mostly, but they're basically the same).

I just realize some thing viz media approve of ichiruki shipping due to the fact Johnny young bosh English voice of ichigo will be voicing Artemis while rukia vocie actor voicing Luna

SERIOUSLY CALLED IT. Also Happy that they got Cherami Leigh on board as Minako :D

Yeah, Cherami is quite awesome:

I like the current list of the VA's for the dubs :D.

First episode of Sailor Moon Crystal! Pretty interested to see how this goes, count me as excited!

Same here, I saw it Saturday on Hulu & was EXCITED impressed OWO.

First episode of Crystal...I still wish they had updated/modernized the designs more. I mean...I guess the "Do the old designs with modern technology" has it's charm, but in a reboot. I'd rather they change things up more visually. Luna showing up and Usagi transforming right away felt a bit forced to me, and that fight scene was rather disappointing, but in terms of a first fight...I'd say it was slightly weaker than Tsubomi's in HeartCatch! Precure, since she too did a lot of running and crying. Pilot episodes are rarely good, so I'll stick with it, and hope it gets better.

Hey, all of that is manga accurate, which to me is what I want.

saw it last night and I gotta say I really enjoyed it. seeing the manga story play out exactly is and will be interesting to me. gotta say though seeing tuxedo mask designed like thathttp://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/...k5f4i9zzdx.gif
gotta say the beeper buns was way funny.

Ok, but I'd still prefer more updated designs in a reboot.

So... Does anyone know if this is uploaded to youtube or dailymotion subbed?

Crunchyroll, dude.

It won't play on my Wii U.

Oh...

Well at least Usagi doesn't sound like a woman in her mid 20s anymore. Something still seems a tiny bit off to me though... but I think that's just the clarity of the recordings clashing with the obviously older animation than anything else.

Yea and they did pick the VA who vocies Hinata from naruto and orihime in bleach so it a good cast

Baaro fan subs subbed it from a raw

I can't say I was grasped by the voices, but that is because I have been watching the show in japanese since 2000. I am so used to hearing Amuro Ray for Mamoru and Mitsuishi as Usagi for so long that a clip is not going to do anything for me.

I know what you mean best way is wait for full ep to come out

Also we have a LuNa clip and she sounds like rukia and I mean the voice actress is using her rukia voice for Luna. So Johnny bosh might use his ichigo

Beryl's voice is awesome and Haberkorn really does fit as Jaedite.

Omfg, todd haberkorn as jaedite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All my yes!!!!!!!!! :D.

Yea really enjoy it. Also rukia as a cat I still can't feel it. Cause I'm just seeing rukia

Ok sorted that link out

WHo's Rukia?

Character from Bleach.

Yea rukia character from Bleach manga and anime

Just finished watching Sailor Moon Crystal episode 2.

Ugh, the animation has taken a pretty steep dive from episode 1. Usagi's magical disappearing pen while chatting to Ami in the library was notable, as was super fat pen and super small bun nurse Usagi and Luna's gigantic mouth during Mercury's transformation. A little sad, because looking pretty seems to be the main point of the series.

As was the first episode it was the exact same as Chapter 2 of the manga almost word by word. So far I'm questioning why this series exists. Sailor Moon already got a fantastic adaptation in Anime form so why are they doing absolutely nothing to make this one special rather then put the manga straight on the screen? Seems incredibly pointless. Is it just a hugely expensive bit of fanwank/nostalgia bait? Ultimately episode was OK; its good having scenes, especially action scenes, done clearly so I can appreciate it for that. Mercury is still as useless as ever, but at least they slightly changed it so that she actually used an attack to create the mist. In the manga, it just appeared when she transformed. She literally just stood around doing nothing in her first manga transformation. Beryl's introduction was suprisingly dull and lifeless, which is a bit of a disappointment.

I really disliked Rei's introduction in the manga, with weird stalker bisexual Usagi who acted like an alien when it comes to other people and Jadeite being unceremoniously killed off without doing absolutely anything, so I'm hoping here is when they start to move away from the source material. I'm assuming its going to happen somewhere, considering its 26 episodes and the manga Dark Kingdom arc was only 11 or so chapters long. I haven't seen any evidence Crystal will go beyond the Dark Kingdom and 26 chapters lands them straight at the middle-point of S rather then have any conclusion.

This thing the maga creator working hand to hand with crystal to make it like the manga. At the same time they are adding filler scene I. Each episode to space it out. But all in all in the end I can see this getting second season cause I can see it being so popular.

I wholeheartedly agree, because I originally saw this as a reboot of the original anime. I really wish it was a reboot, rather than "Hey guys! It's more manga accurate than the original!" Why are so many companies making pointless reworks? Like, there's this, and Persona 4 Golden: The Animation. Granted this isn't as bad, since The original Sailor Moon anime came out in the 90s, whereas Persona 4: The Animation came out in 2012.

I also hope that you're right, and that they do move away from the manga more. I really wanted to see them do something new and different with this version.

but that the hole point of crystals is to be a accurate adaption of the manga, thats hole point of this remake. even the manga creator stated crystal will follow here story more closly then the 90's anime

That's correct they NEVER said that they were straying from the manga, plus A LOT of anime fans would rather have an anime that's closer to the manga adaption than something that's not following it at all, especially in this day & age .-.

yea the fact the straching out short chapters like mercury one with in episode filler is so that they can keep it close to manga. i dont mind in episode filler,so the fact that it done well or if the chapters too short i understand.

Episode 2 was amazing because it was 95% exactly like the manga. YES!!! This is the adaptation I have been waiting for. I love the original series, and I plan to get the BDs of it, but I finally am getting the manga in anime form. It is awesome. I also love the new transformation sequences as they are so gorgeous looking in CGI. My only issue is how bright blue everyone's eyes are. I really hope they don't stretch the Beryl arc out and that this season covers both Beryl and Diamond (Beryl is 14 chapters while Diamond is 12 chapters, equaling 26 chapters).

Second episode was a lot better than the first, and it was nice to see that the subs were a whole lot less stunted this time around too. My only complaint now is that the art looks so good, its really noticeable when the actual animation drops in quality (which I'm not surprised happens, given its Toei making it). I'm not talking errors like excess fingers or anything ridiculous like that, but droopy eyes and silly walks are really noticeable on something so high quality.
