Of course, Sailor Moon Crystal had to correct the worst sin of the original anime, and that’s finally, Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune are shown on-screen as a couple. As a young anime fan in the 90s, one of the first things you learned as a rite of passage is that Sven in Voltron was brutally killed in the original anime, and not “sent to a hospital upstate to recover,” but the second thing we all learned, is that Uranus and Neptune were sanitized to be “close friends” instead of a couple.
To say that the reboot is an improvement is an understatement. Their relationship wasn’t just for attention at the time; it was a major part of the story, and now it can be shown as originally intended without artistic compromises. Oh, and Venus gets her sword in Sailor Moon Crystal.
