How do you make something feel too rushed and too drawn out at the same time?

Have you read the original manga? Crystal is literally (with some pacing issues dues to fluffing out an entire episode) following the Manga. Lol!

I'm sure fans are sick of hearing this, but I cannot stand the look of Crystal. I decided to just deal with the filler and watch the original.

So he's actually made two films. The one I was thinking of is Verotika, from 2019. I think everybody else is talking about Death Rider in the House of Vampires, which I didn't know existed until now. To be honest, you're probably better off not even bothering with either.

Oh yeah you're right, at that point you need gimmicks to survive.

I assumed you meant being able to roll or properly use that equipment, actually taking damage on purpose as your whole playstyle will probably not do you any good in these games.

This I am aware of.

The filler is the best part of the original, though.

Yeah, exactly. At a certain point all Soulslikes shepherd you into damage avoidance rather than mitigation and while you can go on and on about how it's about developing skill rather than lolfacetanking... It directly conflicts with the idea of playing how you want, now doesn't it?

When it comes to Sailor Moon, I feel like the best watch order is to start with the original until the end of Sailor Moon R, and then switch over to season 3 of Crystal and call it done. (Wasn't a fan of Super or SuperS)

I liked S a lot but it's definitely where the weaknesses starting showing a lot more, and I could barely stand SuperS. But I've committed to watching all of it and I'm a lady of my word- thankfully I've only got Sailor Stars left from the OG.

PGSM is pretty solid so far though, really enjoying that.

The only filler I really cared for in the original anime was the Rainbow Crystal stuff.

Just a quick remind to y'all. Season 3 of Crystal is S. And the new two-part movie "Eternal" is Super S. All we're waiting on now is some form of adaptation of Stars.

Yeah I'm aware. I was saying I didn't like the original S much. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

How much filler does the original Sailor Moon have?

Let's see here....about a good half of the series? Almost all of the first season was filler. They had an entire filler arc for the first 1/3-1/2 of R (the Doom Tree Arc). Those are just the examples off the top of my head. The manga was very to the point and was mostly plot point after plot point. The original anime added a lot of content to make full-length seasons. As well as altering some of the story in some ways.
