Sailor Moon Has Angered The Internet

Literally rose tinted glasses

"Sailor Moon was always pink!" Says everyone born after Toonami airings

At this point, Twitter NOT flipping out over nothing burgers is literally impossible.

People like the warmer "aged" colors because it looks closer to the way old low resolution tvs looked

honestly i think the pink tint looks nice and fits with sailor moon, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't also preserve the intended visuals as well. both have their place i feel

Fan restoration projects are fantastic and a great strive for archiving art.

Honestly I like both color sets. The pink tones make me feel nostalgic and I enjoy the different vibes it gives. The true colors look great and are easier on my eyes for sure, plus it's nice seeing the animation as it was intended to look. Internet needs to chill.

I always liked this phenomena, where the original has aged into something almost better in some eyes. Its like a reverse Mandela effect, where the change is more prefered instead of challenged.

“Twitter is angry” “So just another day, then.”

Anime Twitter is built different lmao

Edit: mystery solved! As CB below says, it's very likely due to how VHS's had more subdued colors for 90s kids and older, so the subdued pinks of the color grading may evoke more nostalgia in us than the bright colors of the original due to that! And that totally tracks, because I didn't grow up on Sailor Moon (rather, I watched it on Hulu as an adult). And yet I still see the pink as more nostalgic even so. However, I did have VHS's in my early childhood, which explains it! I think this is a very cool and interesting psychological phenomenon, so I'm glad for all the answers but especially CB's one that solved it! OG I think what it is is that the pink not only adds a lil extra girly charm that tracks pretty well with the show, but it also sort of gives a bit of a 90s VHS type feel, if that makes sense. It feels oddly vintage for some reason. More nostalgic somehow, even if it's not the actual original. It'd be interesting to hear from someone who knows about color theory as to why they think the pink does this.

Honestly the aged colors make anime look so beautiful. Especially sailor moon.

As someone that watched the show in the 90's I can say that the series were as the "original" looks and all the merch I got back then as well. The pink thing is a trend now days to make stuff look "vintage" and cute.

"Evil and wrong" The twitter screenshots in the video: "I like the pink better"

I honestly like how the pink hues looked. As unintentional as it was, it made it look cute

My mom was part of the group that watched the original Sailor Moon airing, and she is flabbergasted people actually think that it was originally pinkish.

I never realized just how large the color difference was for Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball z. Got to say I really do want to watch it all in the original colors now

The pink tint looks nice and ☆aesthetic☆, but I appreciate the restoration efforts.

I can't believe people actually think that was the original oh my God

having the two juxtaposed like that make the "true" colours look sickly by comparison, even if they look normal on their own
