Ugh.

Sorry I really don't like SMC. I was hoping it wouldn't continue. I won't be watching it. I'm done. 

For those who are happy good for you. I wish I could like SMC.

You don't have to like it or watch it, thank you for being happy for the rest of us :)

The negativity has already started in the english speaking part of the fandom, sadly and they are already being rude ><

Those complaining should take your example and stop watching all together. Nobody forces them to do after all, so I really don't understand why they are doing that to themselves and to the rest of us who try to enjoy the show.

Well right before the end of the Dark Kingdom arc I started to hate SMC. But I kept watching so I could keep taking part in discussions. It's best to know what you're talking about. It's way too easy to look like an idiot on the internet.

I stopped watching SMC right around the time they went to future. I found the second arc so boring. I really didn't feel like hearing Chibiusa's backstory for the billionth time.

As for those people they either haven't read the manga, hate the manga, or complain just to complain. I just ignore them. But yeah I see what you mean. But people take part in things they hate all the time. I have no idea why....

the thing is that they do a lot of damage for the rest of us who want to watch it.
Because if Toei decided to only make a tv broadcast this time around (for example) and not the international thingy with niconico, it will be because of the direct bitching to the producers (I have seen people attacking the producers on their personal twitter accounts).
Though Japanese have been very calm and kind so far that they even made subtitle glasses for the live stage performances for the ungrateful english speaking fans.

Not to mention that they keep the title of the worst fandom of all time up and high pffft.

Honestly I don't think Toei cares much about the  international fans. The Japanese are their main target. It's a shame people personally target them, but people bitching on Tumblr won't change a thing.

Hm... I might try to get caught up with Crystal so I can watch this. I'm bored to death with the first two arcs, but I'm a lot less familiar with the last three. Plus, I really wanna see Chibiusa and Hotaru's friendship animated. 

You can probably skip the first two arcs. XD

New staff members announced, art will come out anytime today, on 27th the outers' VA will be revealed.
season III starts in spring.

The bitching has commence and now the Crystal haters are spreading the worst stuff they can come up with, like Naoko and the staff are homophobes, HaruMichi will get boyfriends, Haruka is a rapist (yes I have seen that with my own eyes), that they try a heteronormative approach on the story...

meanwhile, I read (I dont know if there is confirmation for that) that Toei will not broadcast on niconico.
Good job haters, you made it impossible for all of us...

So you're blaming me? There are people who dislike Crystal who aren't crazy. Viewership went down a lot on Niconico with a few peaks here and there. A lot of Japanese fans were not please with Crystal. Toei cares about the Japanese audience not the International audience. If anything if Crystal airs on TV that means it will have a bigger budget. There will be fansubs. There are a ton of anime websites.

I'm not going to watch Crystal. Honestly I just don't care for the manga. I find it boring which makes Crystal boring to me.

:O What? Of course not!

haters = people who make blogs dedicated to nitpick every frame
haters = those who go and find the social media accounts of the artists and bitch on them
haters = those who watch the thing just to nitpick and hate on it
haters = those who at the moment spread the idiocy I posted on my previous comment, without any source to back it up
haters = those who were given something for free and all they showed as behaviour was that of ungrateful brats
haters = those who scream and yell to those who actually like Crystal, and call us names, etc

I'm pretty sure you are not even close to any of those, so this was 100% not directed to you.

But I hate Crystal and I'm none of those things.

my definition of haters is in the above comment, those who do the damage I constantly talk about.

disliking/hating one thing is different than trying to cause it damage and make it impossible for everyone else.
you are not the type I described therefore I'm not in anyway referring to you.

my definition of haters might be different than the definition other have, but for one it doesn't include you, and I apologize for making you think so.

No you don't get my point. You can't blame people who hate Crystal. When you just say haters before your explanation it can just reads as anyone who hates Crystal. 

I get it's annoying that people are bashing Crystal to death, but to blame them for getting the show off a streaming site is silly. I highly doubt they are the reason it's happening (if it is). These people are watching Crystal. They're watching it so they can hate. If the next season will be TV only in Japan (I bet Crunchyroll will get the new episodes) is probably because the Japanese streaming site lost its Japanese audience. I saw data of viewership dropping and some people who live in Japan talked about how some Japanese fans were disappointed with Crystal. At least they're continuing it. There are anime series that get dropped if they don't pull in a large audience despite it being popular in the West.

I read just earlier today that the character designer for this one is the same person who did the designs for Suite and Doki seasons of Precure. I'm not watching Crystal (Dropped it at episode 7) but if this ends up looking better than what I got from watching it, that could be nice.

I always did say Crystal's music was too similar to Precure's (same composer as Smile, I know) so let's go the whole nine yards and just make this Precure with Sailor Moon characters.

I really don't think we're going to get the "cousin" effect in Japanese Crystal. That was a product of the dub, so I doubt Japan would use it. Plus anime like Yuru Yuri got licensed so I don't see why even a dub of Crystal would go that route.
