Sailor Moon Crystal: Episode 3 (Review)

So, today, the third episode of the Sailor Moon reboot was released, and just like last episode, it introduced a new character.


"Act 3: Rei, Sailor Mars" introduces us to Rei Hino, a maiden at Hikawa Shrine, who senses demonic powers, and recently, a rumored bus has been kidnapping individuals late in the evening. Now, in the original anime, Rei wasn't introduced until Episode 10 (just two episodes after Ami was introduced). Also, Rei isn't the only new character to the show, we also have the introduction of both Nephrite and Zoisite (who were both introduced in Episode 14), and they are both members of the Four Kings of the Dark Kingdom just like Jadeite.

And now, to see how faithful the episode was to the third chapter of the original manga. As I looked back and forth from watching the episode to reading the manga, there were only some to little major changes, and there were skipped panels as well. As I've been watching these episodes, it only seems like the changes come whenever the battles tend to happen, but I guess that the people behind the anime want to have a result that is only slightly different than that of the manga.

Until the next episode...
