That was definitely an unexpected license for Netflix to acquire. Almost
as weird as Disney+ getting Macross Plus.

I haven't watched it all in probably 20+ years. The very first episode
of season 1 on Netflix has a weird aspect ratio problem. The rest of the episodes are fine. Season 2 definitely drags out the story to a glacial
pace - almost makes me think I'm watching Dragonball Z. :) And boy were
the final few minutes of the last episode rushed.

Just though it appropriate to share my thoughts on it on Usenet after discovering eternal-september.org for free text based newsgroup access.
I was more active on alt.fan.sailor-moon back in the 90's.

Who knows, maybe we will have a Usenet renaissance if people get sick
and tired of modern social media.

I've been meaning to check that one out for a while. The opening song
alone is better than probably ninety percent of anime openings. I
generally like CLAMP's character designs as well, so that alone seems
like reason enough to watch it.

It's a strange one - similar proto-isekai elements to "Fushigi Yuugi"
or "Vision of Escaflowne" but takes off in a somewhat more complex
direction when they finally drop the other shoe re: what precipitated
the main conflict before Our Heroes got dragged into it; that's CLAMP
for you. Interesting stuff; it'd be fun to see someone take another
stab at it in this era of isekai-out-the-wazoo, but I worry they'd try
to make it fit the modern template... :/
