WHY did they go back to the old character designs? It looks so ugly. The new one looked so much better.

I like the new design so far. It certainly looks as if this new design will make it easier to animate well. Let's hope the animation will be better this time around.

Finally the design of Uranus, one of my fav Sailor Senshis! By the way, this time the character design loos better, but if I look closely, it really looks like the senshis are precure.

The problem with the previous designs is that they did not lend themselves to the medium of animation well. These seem like they'll be a good compromise, that's why anime have character designers for existing characters - to make sure they're adapted well enough to be close to the originals and easy enough to animate.
Though the problems of the previous production were much deeper than merely the designs. This combined with the staff shakeup should at least pull the rest of the show up somewhat. |

I really love the new character designs; they're a refreshing improvement from the first two seasons. Here's hoping it'll translate well in the animation.

Saw it, and it kind of looks like a bit like the old one to me, but less detailed and younger looking. I'll miss that older look to them, but hoping that seeing it in motion, it'll make up for that. |

I'm more curious to see how the Death Busters will look (Kaorinite in particular)

I have to laugh because this was the first thing that caught my attention as well, unfortunately. I feel like generally, the folks who come up with promo art have a hard time capturing Rei's confidence while still maintaining an air of elegance. Oh well! Cautiously optimistic about the new look. I like it, but Haruka feels a little softer than I expected her to look. Fingers crossed she gets a suitably suave VA though (if Megumi Ogata doesn't end up cast). |

Isn't it basically the same image, just cleaner and colored? Or am I missing something?
This one looks pretty, and I guess it might be easier to animate, but I liked the previous art style. It felt more shojo to me, but I guess it was more old school and this has that more modern look. Guess I'll be going the route of old lady yelling at clouds. |

@ manapear
Article is about what you said, but there are other artworks floating around the webs from promotional merchandise and such. |

The problem for me are the faces, mostly the eyes. And did the girls all of a sudden decide to stop wearing lipstick? It's a lack of consistency. Regardless of what anyone thinks of Yukie Sako's art style, I wish the new artist did a better job of making it resemble her designs. |

People are aware the 90s anime went through about a thousand art style changes, aren't they?

And we complained about that too. I'm not sure what you're getting at. |

I think I'm just being overly cautious. The main issue with Umineko was they did the adaptation before the entire game was released. But there were some cuts that I didn't agree with. |
