A major diffrence between this and the anime,


In the anime you could deffinatly tell that sailor moon was Usagi/Serena. In this version, with the outfit and hair you really have to look hard to see a diffrence.

Yes, I noticed this too. If I hadn't already watched the anime I would have been really surprised. I'm glad they changed it to where it was hard to tell because in the anime when they discovered Serena was the Princess, I was like Well, I'm not the smartest person but I could have figured that one out! LOL!

Embrace your inner Raph! So we all can kick some major ass!

It's not just Usagi, though; all of the soldiers have different hairstyles from their normal ones, which I *adore.* I especially love Ami/Mercury's blue bob--it's so cute and absolutely works for her appearance. The detail that they all have very specific hairstyles bothered me a lot in the anime (even when you think of Makoto being so unusually tall--> that'd be something obvious to notice and make connections). Then again, I also think that the Superman/Clark Kent glasses thing has always been stupid; so the soldiers' transformations really help conceal their identities in a way that I think is smart and lacking in the other narratives.

It was on purpose. They're suposed to be different in their regular form from their senshi form. They only looked similar in the anime for young audience relate them more easily.

I always assumed in the anime that there was some kind of magic that prevented people from recognising them when they were transformed. I remember in Buffy how whenever anyone saw Ben transform into Glory, a spell made them forget they saw it. When the girls see Minako in her civilian form at first, they only recognise her because Artemis is with her

In this it's a lot better that they look different in their transformed states. Minako, Usagi and Ami are especially almost unrecognisable

I agree in this they do look different when they they are in their sailor costumes than regular clothes.
