Let's be honest here, Tuxedo Mask's transformation is really underrated. In 90s we didn't get to see male transofmations a lot and for me it's nice and simple.

@@yeetywoomy I mean, I know it was a mock transformation but still....it was corny and hilarious.

I'm currently 17, and I grew up watching the 90s series. My single father worked a lot and didn't really know how to play with a little girl, so most of the time I was sitting in my room watching it. This show helped build like 90% of my personality. It formed my morals, my perspective of "if it's scary or overwhelming, cry for a minute, but still do what you need to do," it formed my early ideas of love, platonic, familial and romantic, and the sacrifices you make in the name of love, and it was the first thing that taught me that women can be just as strong, if not stronger than men. It also set an example of what level of drama and danger should exist in movies and shows, although my views on that have changed with time. To this day, whenever people ask me what genres I like, I can't answer them right away, because this show formed what I like. Romance, drama, friendships that last a lifetime, but also action, excitement, and humor. One of the first things in TV that ever made me cry (I LOVE it when this stuff makes me cry) was when Usagi's friend Naru cradled the body of Queen Beryl's general Nephrite as he died. That was also the first thing that formed my idea of "if the person can feel love for anyone other than themselves, they're not entirely evil."

I like how the transformation rankings are all spread out for both the 90s anime and crystal. I've mostly just seen people put down the new transformations in favor of the old ones, so it was nice that this list didn't seem as biased towards the old anime! I wonder where you would've put the live-action adaptation transformations as I like those despite the small budget. Did you take Saturn's half-transformation in SMC S3 into consideration too? I know its a half-transformation but I honestly quite liked it xD

Neptune’s first Crystal transformation is my favorite out of all them. I love how they chose to use blue sparkles that change her nails teal and the flower petal effect is gorgeous.

I also really love Venus’s 3D transformation in Crystal, her ribbons looked incredible and I think that it was a unique take, sad I didn’t see it on the list.

Real talk, as I was finishing up this video I was like "This was fun! I should do this again next year for other shows! Oh, Pretty Cure is cute! Let's check that one out!" And then I realized it has like, well over a100 transformations!!! And then I was like "I would have to cap it off at 50." So maybe! :D

I have never seen a "ranking X things" video I agreed with more strongly. I especially appreciate the nod to Venus running her hands through her hair - that tiny detail has stuck with me for decades! also Uranus as the top non-Moon sequence, could not agree more

I genuinely would have been surprised if Moon Cosmic power wasn't top 3 tbh. Cosmic power is by far the moment. The way the heart wraps around to form her skirt and spark into effect. That LEG pose. The way her red ribbons form around her. They really just make her transformation this power of energy and grace. Everything about it says COSMIC.

The cgi are the longest and look like they had a lot of love poured into them. Despite how goofy it looks but jupiters head symbol appears scene makes her look so god damn beautiful.

Couldn't agree more with the best transformation. Cosmic Power Make Up is amazingly animated. I don't know how they pulled that off. Is just amazing

Sailor Star Lights. You really haven't seen the final season. As for the more "twiggy" look of Crystal, it's to match Naoko Takeuchi's artwork from the manga.

SAILOR STARS IS SO GOOD!!! Please go back and do a full watch, it’s probably my favorite season and for sure is the most memorable. Plus, everyone needs to encounter Seiya lol

It was really good!

I think a lot of people miss that Crystal is trying to match Takeuchi’s manga style much more than the 90s anime. She has twigs that don’t run on physics. The 90s anime was much less like that. I wonder if less people would harp on Crystal design choices if they knew this going in. (And like. Crystal did everything good except the eyes, imo)

Moon cosmic power is my favorite of all time too!!! And the song is really beautiful too. I think you missed these: - Moon eternal make up (ver 1) from Sailor Moon Sailor Stars (first 6 episodes) - Moon eternal make up (ver 2) from Sailor Moon Sailor Stars - Moon Crisis Make Up (Chibi Moon solo version) from Sailor Moon Eternal - Uranus Crystal power make up, from Sailor Moon Eternal - And, although it was a mix between a transformation and character reveal: Saturn Planet Power Make up / Sailor Saturn appears, in Sailor Moon Crystal season III, which in my opinion was one of the coolest moments in the whole franchise, the whole sequence including the scenes preceding it, her speech and the music, at the time it gave me goosebumps! Very entertaining video!!! Kudos for addressing the technical aspects of color!

I’m surprised that Venus and Jupiters 3d transformations weren’t included in the list. They are the best two out of the whole group during those two seasons if you ask me. Especially Venus’s

I loved how there's a pause when she lifts her pen before the thunder strikes and she starts her transformation!

You forgot Jupiter's and Venus's transformation from Crystal 1&2(they have the same animation and background) you also forgot Neptune's & Uranus's transformation from Sailor Moon Eternal(like venus and jupiter their transformation are really similar to the previous season, they have the same background and animation they just changed Uranus body effect and their costumes), and finally Eternal Sailor Moon transformation from the 90s anime(there is 2 versions of this transformation sequence) I totally agree with you for the Moon Cosmic Power transformation is my favorite 😍I can't wait to see the news transformation for the last arc🤞

Hahahah I love your narrations especially on Healer’s transformation in #16. My favorite is #8 so good! Now I wanna see you rank their special moves!

I love this. Totally agree with the last transformation. One of my favorite things about your number one transformation, which I completely agree with, is how she looks more like a young woman than a little girl. It's beautiful!

Thanks for putting Moon Cosmic Power for Top 1! It is possibly the BEST Sailor Moon transformation of all time! Also Saturn being lower is kinda funny and sad, because she is my favorite Sailor scout 😂😂😂

I like to imagine that the magic does move them around during transformations and that's why they spin a lot. In some of them not all. Sailor Moon's OG one for sure is an example. The others mostly seem the other way around especially since they have a stick as their transformation item as opposed to a brooch.

Do you think you can rank Precure/Pretty cute transformations and top 20 attacks?And I know (or think)you don’t know what it is so search it on KZread because some of the 19 seasons have as good,some even better,than Sailor Moon.I recommend Go princess,Smile,Mahou Tsukai(Witchy) and Healin Good Precure

I do not agree with most of your ranking... but Moon Cosmic Power Make Up is the BEST, indeed! I would say this one hás one of The best BGM of them all. I love all Venus' and Mercury's transformations, and hate every Chibi Moon's. The latest Sailor Stars group transformations is also great. The pacing, the BGM, etc.

As a huge fan of sailormoon series, these are my top 5 transmations that I think looks amazing in terms of visuals and execution. These five you can really feel the power they represent. 1.) sailor neptune 2.)sailor mars 3.) sailor uranus 4.) sailor jupiter 5.) sailor pluto

Where is the 90s Sailor Moon Eternal Transformation ? :-(

The part of Sailor Moon that has the Starlights is widely considered to be the best arc of the anime (with some detractors), if you ever do a video that would warrant rewatching the anime in its entirety that would be a good opportunity. There are filler guides so you don't have to do all 200 episodes, but it's still a significant undertaking so I get it, plus I don't know how much you even like the anime as this is my first exposure to your channel Either way this is a good video and must have been a lot of work to both compile, individually rank all of these plus write the script so good job, I left a like

Would love to see the ranking of attacks too! I loved Chibi Moons S prism power theme a lot t though it's so catchy but you put it at #49 i think lol

I think the reason why critter doesn't know the Starlights is because the movie and season their in didn't get a USA release till recently.

Funny enough I like Venus's transformations the most because It feels like a transformation the main heroine would have, which is super appropriate given her history. The only downside in my opinion is that her planet's associated element is meant to be metal, but due to her being Sailor V the motif focused on light still had to be there. I think her metallic ribbons in her crystal transformations were meant to reconcile that, Tto make it look like malleable metal

My favorite is by far Crystal 1 Sailor Mars, the colours are on point, she is the one looking the best on CGI specially on the Bluray, and what stand out the most against all others is definetly the music, this transformation has the best music after 90's outers theme.

Your avatar is so cute!

I had no idea there were fifty lmao

I mean, personally, the Super outfits will always be my favorites (except for Saturn because having a unique broach is awesome), but I must agree that Sailor Moon's Cosmic transformation is by far the best transformation in the series. I remember as a kid watching it and loving all the moves she did inside the heart outline! Hey, perhaps you could make a ranked list of Sailor Moon attacks! For some reason, my favorite has always been Moon Spiral Heart Attack. It's an excessively long name (most attacks are 3 words long) but Sailor Moon spinning her body along with the wand then landing on her knees with hearts shooting out in a spiral is just perfection in my eyes. I do think I mostly watched the Death Busters arc as a kid, so that's likely part of my bias

Great video! I love hearing people's opinions about the transformations. One question: where's Moon Crisis from Crystal with just Usagi? I didn't see it on here.

Sailor Moon - a classic 90s anime I grew up in my childhood

Venus' 3D Crystal transformation for me was the best transformation she got (But I think you missed it in this video)

I appreciate "pose" as an important factor for this. Tim Gunn would be pleased haha

They need to do much more with Saturn. She's like the most mysterious! Let's make her dramatic!

I'm so happy with the first place transformation. That's my all time favourite!

Transformation is Free Action in Sailor Moon franchise.

Going into this video I didn't know what to expect but I feel like the criticism is fair. Obviously in the '90s they couldn't do as cool of effects as they can now, but they did do some cool stuff. I think for the Inners the Crystal Power transformations were the best, especially the group one in the SuperS movie where their symbols really pop against the background with their final poses. The version of Mercury Crystal Power from the Ami's First Love special is also really nice, and actually differs from the regular Crystal Power sequence for hers in some cool ways. Moon's best one was I think the Eternal Sailor Moon one, both the short one and the longer one. As for the Outers, it does stink that Saturn didn't really get one (though I think they kinda rectified this in the video games). But they do look cool. I agree the 3d models are a bit weird but it was a cool idea. Also as for the "twiggy" nature of the models, the designs were meant to more resemble the manga designs, which as a fan of the manga I thought was really cool cause it would be like the manga coming to life. They compromised in Season 3 and gave them a bit more anime in them me g

Hearing that Pokémon Center OST in the background definitely threw me off 😂

I always found Venus's ribbon lazy, but I thought that was the concept 😂

I really love the music used in the 44th transformation

Wait I am so sorry if I missed this but was Ami's transformation from her special episode that only aired in Japan during season 3 on this list?? I'm watching at work so I may have missed it but if you haven't seen it yet I highly recommend!

By far my favourite Sailor Mercury's Transformation is from her special episode, Ami's First Love. Look it up! 😍 It's so different but familiar at the same time. Well I'm glad you added Sailor Saturn Planet Power make up from the game lol also I think you forgot to add the original Eternal Sailor Moon transformation from the 90s anime lol

MOON COSMIC POWER SUPREMACY

Venus' henshin being so low... wow.

Moon crisis and Crystal power was even better.
