Except there was a central villain. Don't you recall the creature that had possessed Galaxia was pretty much the one who poisoned all of the villains of the series?

Plus, the fights in the manga are just so bad it hurts. Takeuchi makes beautiful cover arts, some of the best in the business even, but whoever told that girl that she should do an action manga is very stupid indeed. For example I loaded a random chapter and attached its "fight scene", it took me three reads to actually work out what the hell was going on and even then it doesn't look very good.

You could say the same about any manga though. Attack on Titan has okay artwork and it is hard to tell what is going on. Even the fights in series like One Piece and Dragonball are hard to follow at times in manga form.

However, an anime adaptation that is straight from the manga will help you follow the action.

I stopped reading for ages when she stabbed herself to death because her boyfriend died, knowing it'd mean the end of the world. Just awful.

She is a child. She is stupid.

Do you hate Romeo & Juliet for the same reason?

Quote:

The plot itself is so confused its sometimes hard to follow and the anime nearly universally does the plot better and the characters themselves simply don't act like real people or react to situations like a real person would, which I have a big problem with. Sailor Stars is one of my favorite anime seasons, but the manga version was just awful.

I thought the manga version was superior. Sure, there is no chapter of them fighting in Usagi's kitchen with her knocking things over with her wings, but the story got right to the point. Plus, Usagi's future self being Chibi Chibi made far more sense than just another little girl being there.

Also, the ending was both incredibly rushed and incredibly bleak. I hated the ending.

The ending leads to the birth of Crystal Tokyo.

Its sad because Codename Sailor V was totally fun and very amusing but the second she got told to write a manga for adaption the quality dropped. Its also weird that the Sailor Moon anime kept the tone and playfulness of Sailor V instead of the dreariness of the manga.

Funny enough, I hate Sailor V. I won't even drop a cent on the new manga release of it.

This is why the new anime really isn't as faithful to the manga as they claim. What I want is something like PGSM, where they do their own thing and take from all the previous Sailor Moon stories to make something wonderful.

Wait, what? Have you seen it yet?

And I don't want something like PGSM. We have already had them do their own things, twice. I want a series that is 100% the manga translated into anime form.
