The artwork was a bit wonky in places (nothing compared to before, thankfully), but the actual animation was spot on. Kinda like a less extreme example of act 9's first half. Although medusa Eudial wasn't here, I doubt they would get rid of cyborg Horaru. One is extremely important to the plot and one isn't.
I should really stop checking the Crystal tags on Tumblr before they drive me insane (all they care about is how gay Haruka/Michiru/Chibiusa/Usagi/whoever is, and nothing else. As a bisexual, that stuff always feels patronizing/borderline fetishizing to me and they do it under the shoddy guise of "representation.")
