Yuuko's costumes look absolutely fantastic (if you click on the link to the high res, there's a dress the resembles the dimensional witch dress). Watanuki's actor and Yuko's actress look pretty dead on, the other two not so much, but with live action adaptions you can't be picky. (I didn't like any of Hana Kimi's actors at first look, but they all grew on you)

The only think I'm weary of is Anne Watnabe. All the photos show a really serious face, which for Yuko's intro I can understand. However if by episode three that woman doesn't smoke and get drunk off her butt as well as give Watanuki creepy smirks - then she will not be Yuko, and I shall only be watching the show for the pretty Yuko-wannabe dresses.

And Watanuki's actor better be pretty good at freaking out.


And PGSM was fantastic for what it was, a Sailor Moon sentai show, and one that kept the most die hard of fans guessing and surprised. Sentai shows don't have much of a budget, and once you get that in your head you get over Luna.

Well, there are^H^H^Hwere plenty of plush Mokonas on the market. ;p I still like the idea of a kigurumi Mokona. Creepy as hell, maybe, but fun... or not. ^^;

I think for me the big thing that makes PGSM work is that it didn't try to take itself too seriously most of the time. That and the fact that it has the best pacing out of any version of the Sailor Moon story and I include the original manga in that assessment.
