As everyone knows.

The "Sailor Moon" series of TV anime is adapted from the manga of the same name by the famous manga artist Naoko Takeuchi.

In general, the comic is usually updated faster or finished earlier than the animation production and broadcast time.

That's what can be called "adaptation"!

There is the original work first, and then according to the content of the original work, it is appropriately modified and polished to make the final animated version, which is the meaning of adapted animation.

Normally......

Whether it's viewed horizontally and vertically, or standing and squatting, Sailor Moon is an out-and-out "adaptation" anime.

But here's the problem!

The Wanbao version of "Sailor Moon" was produced "simultaneously" with the manga, and even the manga was released at the same time, a little later than the anime premiere date.

The first season is OK!

After all, the animation supervisor is Gu Miao, he knows how to set up the characters, and he also knows how to advance the plot. It doesn't really matter who comes out first or who comes out later.

The supervisor of the sequel "Sailor Moon R" has been replaced!

Seto, as the successor, does not have the ability of Gu Miao, an "unpredictable prophet". First out of animation and then manga, this way is not suitable for him.

So he changed his strategy!

Different from the animation and manga synchronous production mode of the first season of "Sailor Moon", "Sailor Moon R" belongs to the manga content first, and the animation follows.

The manga went on sale very early.

Nantong?

He was just getting started, drawing a few Sailor Moon comics. After that, the content of the comics was handed over to another cartoonist a long time ago.

The approximate order is like this......

Gu Miao, as the supervisor, proposed the animation project of "Sailor Moon", and then started the animation production and broadcast.

During this period, he commissioned "Mr. Nantong" to create and refine the content of "Manga Volume 1-4" based on the overview of the story.

From the 5th volume of the manga, the author has been replaced.

Who it was, Gu Miao also forgot.

Anyway, it's Wanbao Comics' own people.,A very diligent rookie cartoonist.。 From Nan Tong's hands, after taking over the "Sailor Moon" manga project, more than a dozen manga single books have been sold one after another.

This time, the anime "Sailor Moon R", produced and broadcast by the Manpo (Neon) Division, is adapted from books 5-10 of the manga.

Gu Miao has read comics.

It can even be said that the release of volumes 5-10 of the comic is inseparable from his "fingering" behind the scenes.

Based on "Sailor Moon R" adapted from books 5-10 of the manga, the plot is mainly divided into two parts:

Demon Tree Arc: Anime Original!

Black Moon Empire Arc: The main story of the comics!

In these two story chapters, in addition to familiar characters such as the sailor moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus, there are also some "new characters" appearing.

Among them, the most popular and most anticipated character, who has already set off a wave of discussion before the animation is broadcast, is "Little Rabbit".

Little Rabbit, English name Small Lady, literally translates to "Little Lady".

Don't look at the name, it sounds casual, but her identity is incredible. She was the daughter of the Tsukino Hare and the Ground Guard, born in the 30th century.

All right!

It's no secret.

Fans of "American War" who have read the comics, and fans who have been passed by Gu Miao's drama in advance, basically know the origin of Little Rabbit.

It's not just name, identity.

Even the reason why Little Rabbit came from the 30th century to the 21st century, everyone knows it.

Everyone is looking forward to the appearance of Little Bunny, mainly looking forward to what kind of changes will Little Bunny have in the animated version of "Sailor Moon R"?

Will it be the same as in the comics?

Or will Seto, the new animation supervisor of "Mi War", give Little Rabbit a new character setting?

In addition to the little bunny, several other sailor warriors, that is, the other planets of the solar system, are also highly anticipated.

But it's a pity......

Although Wanbao did not say it explicitly, through various announced news, it is not difficult for the audience to surmise that most of "Sailor Moon R" is still dominated by the four warriors of "Water, Fire, Wood and Gold".

Other sailor fighters?

You may be a passerby, or you may not have a chance to show your face, the animation has just been broadcast, and no one knows what will happen except for the production team who knows about it.

……

"Aren't there four more villains?"

Walking into the living room with a plate of freshly washed fruit, Jiang Keke wondered: "I've read the comics, the four sisters of the Demon World of the Black Moon Empire, will they appear in the animation?" ”

"Yes!"

Gu Miao reached out and picked up a banana, and explained while peeling it: "The four sisters of the classic villains, there must be their roles!" ”

"Not only are there scenes, but there are also many scenes! I'm sure the four sisters will be popular after the anime airs. ”

Thinkers

"Huh? Not really, right? ”

Jiang Keke blinked and said, "Aren't these four sisters pure tool people?" It's not even a mini-boss in the comics, how can it be ......"

"The animation has changed a lot."

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Miao shook her head and said, "In the animation, these four sisters can be regarded as the most successful characters. And at the end of the animation, the four sisters are all whitewashed. ”

Not!

To be reasonable, when Gu Miao watched the "Sailor Moon R" anime for the first time, as a comic book party, he was really shocked.

I didn't expect the animation to change so much?

People who don't understand the difference, or fans of "Mikhan" who have only watched anime and manga, may have a hard time understanding this sense of "shock".

The animation is really a "magic change".

And the strength of this magic change is still very large, so that Naoko Takeuchi himself saw it, and he probably couldn't believe that this was his own work.

The Four Sisters of the Demon Realm?

This is just a classic example of the original Sailor Moon R's magic manga.

In addition to these four sisters, the animation has also undergone magic changes in many places. It can be said that even the most basic plot direction has changed.

Is this good or bad?

It's hard to say, anyway, Gu Miao is the one who supports the "magic reform".

He thinks the comic version is good, cruel enough and dark enough to be very interesting, and it makes people can't stop watching.

Similarly, he also thinks that after the old version of the animation "magic change", the character creation is quite successful, and the plot direction is unexpected but reasonable.

Both versions are good.

So after comprehensive consideration, Gu Miao finally decided: the poor are better than the choice, and all the treasures are wanted!

The manga takes the road of comics, and the animation takes the path of animation, each doing its own thing, and just go back and make another version of "Sailor Moon Crystal".

Oh yes!

Speaking of the Four Sisters of the Demon World and the Demon Change......

Gu Miao suddenly thought of a setting that was extremely easy to be overlooked, but "shined" in the animated version of "Sailor Moon".

What is the setting?

Of course, the villains, from the pure demons at the beginning, rendered horror, have become more and more "human".

It can also be said that ......

The villains and demons of Sailor Moon seem to be becoming more and more down-to-earth and more and more "human".
