Agreed, re: Sailor Moon. It really does suffer for it, in things like having the masked ball episode happen so early on, Tuxedo Mask moving in to kiss Sailor Moon makes him come across as a bit of a creep, especially as Usagi's more properly asleep rather than in a tipsy doze as she is in the original. I'm very glad all in all that I've watched seasons 1-3 of Crystal first, then gone to watch the superior original series. There are a few bits from Crystal that I like better, such as the animation, and I really liked the small touch of making Nephrite, Zoisite, Jadeite, and Kunzite originally Endymion's commanders (although the romance with the Sailor Senshi aspect wasn't needed). I'm also very glad that Crystal left out the awful Doom Tree arc. It had some interesting ideas, but was very poorly executed.
