** Many viewers figured that the series was going to go into the Wiseman arc due to the fact that the series was serializing 1 act per episode and the To Be Continued card showing Princess Serenity holding the Cutie Moon Rod.
** Quite a few people in Latin America predicted that their Spanish dub would use the original Japanese names.

** Finally, The ''intro'' for Season 3 isn't even subtle about Hotaru and Chibi-Usa, with a scene of them both unclothed, with them looking towards each other while lying together, surrounded by roses, the poses deliberately done in such a way to keep it chaste.

Since Eternal is still part of the Sailor Moon Crystal series, I thought this should go here; the part about the Haruka/Usagi kiss seems like it should go under Misaimed Fandom.


** As Michiru and Haruka are known as a power couple thanks to the 1990s anime, many fans were ''horrified'' to see Haruka kiss Usagi (more than once at that). Even though the scenes are from the manga, many were annoyed by the infidelity their ShipTease causes.

*CompleteMonster:
** [[Recap/SailorMoonBlackMoonArc Season 2]]: [[TheChessmaster Wiseman]] is the manipulative advisor to the [[Characters/SailorMoonBlackMoonClan Black Moon Clan]]. Born in the 30th Century, Wiseman was once a regular human with dark powers, who decided to brainwash people into rebelling against Neo-Queen Serenity. Banished to Planet Nemesis after being defeated, Wiseman merged with that World. Now with the power of the Malefic Black Crystal at his disposal, Wiseman manipulated Prince Demande and his Black Moon Clan into doing his bidding, [[HeKnowsTooMuch killing Rubeus]] and forcing Demande to MercyKill his own brother. Wiseman would go on to brainwash Chibiusa into Black Lady and happily uses her in the final confrontation against the Sailor Senshi. During the final confrontation after Chibiusa is freed, Wiseman gleefully announces his intentions to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy all life in the Solar System and beyond]].
** [[Recap/SailorMoonInfinityArc Season 3]]: [[MadScientist Professor Souichi Tomoe]] is a top member of the [[Characters/SailorMoonDeathBusters Death Busters]]. Expelled from the scientific community for [[PlayingWithSyringes inhumane experiments]], Tomoe sides with an entity known as Pharaoh 90 and devours a Daimon Egg to completely swear loyalty after a lab accident killed his wife and critically injured him and his daughter Hotaru. When Pharaoh 90 gives him Mistress 9's Daimon Egg, he saves his daughter Hotaru's life not out of care but [[ForScience for the sake of science]]. Tomoe implanted her Daimon Egg into Hotaru and would perform many experiments on her over the years, and only "cared" for her because he was curious to see what would happen when Mistress 9 took full possession of her. Tomoe would abduct people over the years and experiment on them with Daimon Eggs, and when he didn't get the results he wanted, labelled them defects. [[AbusiveParents Highly abusive]] towards his daughter, Tomoe also makes it more than clear that he no longer loves his wife. When the Sailor Guardians confront him, Tomoe [[OneWingedAngel turns himself into]] a full-fledged Daimon, [[AGodAmI declares himself a God]] and a [[UltimateLifeForm Super Life-Form]], and tries to kill them with no remorse.

Moving some of the Eternal entries to the dedicated YMMV page. Also, chained sinkholes are not allowed and switching to official English translation.


** The Dead Moon Circus movie adaptation received this even more from people who hate how much ''Crystal''/''Eternal'' is changing to cater to 90's anime fans, especially in regards to the art style. The fact that Eternal Sailor Moon was shown to have her transformation brooch from the 90's anime instead of her manga brooch, what fans argue to be the main difference between the different versions of the form, has further incensed fans.

* ShipToShipCombat: The survival of the Shitennou and their increased presence in the plot has revived the once ''very'' ugly debate regarding the scrapped subplot about the Shitennou and the Inner Senshi having romantic links and made it worse. [[spoiler: Episode 10 had confirmed past romances between the Senshi and the Shitennou. A number of [[YuriFan fans that pair the Sailor Senshi with each other]] weren't pleased. Episode 12 continued the revelation, but also killed off the Shitennou and had all four Senshi cry over them, which only worsened the rage.]]

* ContestedSequel: Rather "contested adaptation" in this case. Fans are pretty much split down the middle if this one is better than the [=90s=] version or not. One side like that it follows the manga more closely and doesn't have filler. The others side hate the characterization in this feeling it's too bland, find the battles lacking and just don't like the overall tone of this one, feeling it lacks the quirky charm of the [=90s=] version.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: The retention of Game Center Crown in ''Crystal'' may seem to run counter to its SettingUpdate to non-Japanese viewers, given that the VideoArcade isn't as popular in the west as it once was, and the [[Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon 2003 tokusatsu]]'s change to a Karaoke Bar, but through [[https://kotaku.com/what-could-kill-japanese-arcades-1552675093 contracting]], arcade gaming remains the ''largest'' sector of Japan's gaming market.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Nostalgia for the [[Anime/SailorMoon original anime]] drives many of the complaints, especially amongst people unfamiliar with the manga and even more so among English speaking fans whose familiarity with the franchise comes from the Creator/DiC dub. On the flip side, for some vocal fans of the manga, any divergence from its text is a point of contention. Specific items of complaint range from the inclusion of confirmation that [[spoiler:the Senshi and Shitennou were romantically involved in their past lives]] to minor details like the absence of certain jokes and gags.

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** The [[TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects CG effects]] used in season 1 and 2's transformation sequences was heavily criticized by fans as ugly and jarring. Season 3 featured hand drawn transformation sequences that took many cues from the original 90s anime transformations.
** The lead art director for the 90s anime has been hired to direct the art team on the Dead Moon Circus movie after general criticisms about the art style used in ''Crystal''.
** Season 3 onwards seem to have begun to take cues from the original Anime in terms of characterization and humor, likely to appease criticisms people have about that in the earlier seasons.
