@FoolyRand This reaction is pretty common. Many people who started with the 90s anime find manga/Crystal Rei a bit flat. May I recommend PGSM, the live-action series? Keiko Kitagawa delivered a “best of both worlds” kind of Rei.
I love but I also hate the huge difference between 90's Rei and crystal's, I know some people find the 90s version too aggressive and even unnecessarily rude to usagi, while the crystal's version is more mysterious and apparently mature (I'm currently reading the manga)-
For the past year, I’ve indulged my love for #PGSM, the live-action #SailorMoon series by writing a fan-fiction sequel season.
Meticulously plotted, character-driven, and filled with twists, it’s my love letter to the series.
