Note: Sailor Moon Eternal is the sequel to Sailor Moon Crystal. It is a reboot of Sailor Moon Super S.

Violence: It is no worse than any other member of the Sailor Moon franchise. It is entirely comprised of fantasy violence that mainly destroys the scenery around them rather than inflicting severe wounds upon the characters. The villains are destroyed in rays of light. One character coughs up black blood from an illness (I think that's the only time blood makes an appearance in the movies).

Sex and Nudity: We have a lot of magical girl transformations. All ten of the Sailor Guardians transform at least twice. It's all barbie doll nudity, though and they are all glowing different colors. One character spends the night with her boyfriend (nothing happens). A character from the future gets over the crush she had on the man who is destined to be her father. There are some revealing outfits.

Theological Themes: It isn't much different than other installments in the Sailor Moon franchise. The protagonists are almost all magical girls, and every named character in the movie has some sort of magical ability. One of them is a shrine maiden. The girls are referred to as deities. One character can turn into a pegasus, and we have planetary kingdoms.Two of the Sailor Guardians are a lesbian couple.

Overall: I have not seen Sailor Moon Super S, but I have heard that it wasn't very good. This movie is a good reboot, and it actually follows the manga almost perfectly without seeming as hollow as Sailor Moon Crystal did. I'm glad that they did this one well, because it was one of my favorite arcs in the manga.

Problematic Themes: None.

One thing I will note is Chibi-Usa is much less annoying in this than the 90's anime. The two movies center around her growth as a character, even though she already seems more mature than she did during her introduction. Sailor Moon Eternal at its heart is about Chibi-Usa growing up and finding her own role in their universe. She get's to find her own place and step outside of Usagi's shadow a bit.

A good chunk of the movies are devoted to the other Sailor Guardians and their dreams and struggles with their roles. Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter wonder if what they thought they wanted from life is what they truly desire, while Venus wonders if she is no longer needed, now that the team seems to rely more and more on the outer guardians for leadership. Meanwhile, the outer guardians can sense something's amiss, but they can't do anything about it. I really liked all the interpersonal struggles the characters were able to deal with. I was surprised that they were able to fit so many mini character arcs in two movies.

I loved the art. It had the newness of Sailor Moon Crystal, but it had the same style and charm as the original anime and the manga. I liked the music, too. It was all very cute. I do think that they could have done better with the villainous circus aesthetic, but that is a gripe that I have with the original manga, as well. I do love Queen Nehalennia's design, and the outer guardian's attacks were so beautiful.

To be honest, this is the Sailor Moon adaptation we needed. I'd say preteens and up, same as the regular series.
