Also, when you say "got the manga to get adapted adapted into the anime" are you referring to Crystal or the Original Anime?

And, yes, they said it would be more faithful to the manga, but that shouldn't have been a bad thing. Massive plot holes and bad story-telling should not be adapted straight, especially not 20 years after its been written. All they had to do was cut Usagi's little "omg omg then he'll KNOW!" and her shock at him knowing despite it being clearly established that he knew. Nothing about the story would change except that the scene would make sense. And they have been changing things! Jadeite, Zoisite, Nephrite and Kunzite were never at the same place together, Beryl never appeared in front of the Sailor Soldiers until the very end of the arc and by this point in the manga Jadeite had been killed (by Mars), Nephrite had been killed (by Jupiter) and Zoisite had been killed (by Sailor V), so why, why couldn't this plot-hole have been cut?

And yeah, at the end of the Dark Kingdom Arc in the manga Mamoru dies so Usagi decides to plunge a sword through her stomach rather then save the world from Queen Metalia. Of course she gets better because the Crystal keeps her alive, but that was a side-effect that she didn't know about. Usagi herself fully intended to just commit suicide and let the world be destroyed while her friends howled for her to stop because her boyfriend was killed. I have been praying that this scene would be fixed in Crystal, especially with things like the opening claiming they "won't leave destiny to their prince" and the "Moon Pride" film clip featuring a Serenity obviously in mourning standing up in determination and fighting, but with every episode that awful, awful ending being fixed gets less and less likely.

I mean original got adapted. Due to the manga was so popular.
