Season 4 movies update: Sailor Moon Eternal - Delayed to 2021 (Part 1 on January 8th & Part 2 on February 11th)

Ikuhara will never work on another anime where he doesn't have complete control and Toei and/or Naoko will never give him that kind of control.

However, Ikuko itoh doing the character designs for the Stars arc may be possible considering she briefly worked on that butt anime (whatever it's called) at Toei. At this rate, we should expect another character design change for Stars.

Stars in Manga is a complete disaster towards the end honestly... very rushed and needs way better execution methods to translate it into an anime movie. I'm afraid they screw that Arc up so badly.

I expect it as well, and actually like it. It is not so bad seeing different takes on the art-style. And everyone can have a style they wanted and enjoy. At first I found the inconsistency annoying, but the diversity is not so bad and they kind of turned a negative into a positive, at least for me. Plus with each new story arc it is like starting from scratch, and the anticipation feels more exciting.

Yeah, I mean, when they do "planet-hopping" each senshi they meet deserves her proper episode. Otherwise it's too cramped with stuff and characters.



I agree. If they change again the character design, they should also change the director and give another professional (!) the chance.



But there is also space for negociation. Wasn't it also unlikely for Kazuko Tadano to work again for Toei?

Honestly, the Stars arc would have made the most sense to adapt as a movie. Characters drop like flies right from the get-go, the last few chapters consist of one continuous fight, etc.

I strongly disagree Stars doesn't deserve more attention than any other arc. Despite the fact I love the battle with Chaos and the revelations, a lot of stuff , it is clear Naoko was a bit out of ideas and all the wonderful relations with planetary, mythological and mineralogy symbols and relations were lost. Random names for random Sailors, repetitiveness, rushed plot lines and even the artwork and I don't know the right word, sorry, but I will say story-boarding is a bit chaotic. I don't see the arc on itself is bad, I just wanna say that strict adaptation, done by Toei will do it no justice and will further worse it, as they couldn't take handle of a straightforward arc such as Dark Kingdom, done zillion times by different mediums.

I mean we only need a 2.5 hours for Stars, instead of 1:45 x 2 like other seasons
