The first frames of each of these shots appear this way due to whatever it is Subatomic Digital are doing to the image. All releases from 2009 on originated from the same masters, and it isn't present in any other release.
Yeah, but I don't see why this should matter when this is a streamed version. It's not like it is this way on BD.
I'm not 100% satisfied with the image quality on the Blu-rays, and I do think the Australian DVDs look better from what I've seen, but like others have said, I'm content enough to the point where I don't feel the need to go out of my way to import another region's discs. I have considered going DVD-only with Viz's releases though. I don't think the picture quality's really any different, and other than the windowboxed first set, they look like a better value. I do like the booklets and voice actor interviews though.
Even still, the BD is better. Plus, I've got the first two seasons on BD. It would look terrible on my shelf to then suddenly have DVDs of the rest of the series.

Well they did with R, so I don't see whythey wouldn't with Stars.
I am thinking the Viz release date for Crystal might have been pushed back. Amazon cancelled their preorder link, and I find it odd that Rightstuf wouldn't have the preorder up if the release date was in 2 months. Really a bummer February 9 was right before my birthday.
This release should have all the fixes from the Japanese BD releases right? Or will Viz botch this one as well? What are the odds?
Does anyone know what's taking so long with an announcement/pre-order for S Part 1? I feel like it should have come by now...it's been almost three months since R Part 2 was released.

This is true. However, there was a 5-month gap between S1P2 and S2P1, and for all intents and purposes, Viz is using 12/29/2015 as the official release date of S2P2 because that was the release of the corrected A/V set. I reckon that we'll see S3P1 in April or May. Which saddens me, but it is what it is.
I realize this might to be the right place to post, but since Crystal doesn't have its own board, I thought maybe I could post here. I know it's listed for a release at some point, but does anyone know when they plan to release Crystal here in the U.S.? I know they've got the episodes streaming on Viz, but they don't have any information about physical releases that I could see.

Sailor Moon Crystal Set 1 Limited Edtion is scheduled for release on February 9, 2016.
Amazon is a joke right now. Ever since they upped their Prime costs their customer service has gone down hill. They've canceled 17 preorders on me over the last 6 months.
Have Viz's March 2016 solicitations gone out yet? It's clear that this will not be released in February, I hope it isn't delayed by more than a month or so.

I sent an email to them last week asking if they had any plans to release it, and they replied saying that right now there are none. I did not, however, think to ask about a delay
Sailor Moon Crystal Anime's 3rd Season Visual Features Outer Senshi
AnimeJapan event in March to announce new Sailor Moon project
Quote:
The official website of the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal anime unveiled the visual for the anime's third season on Monday. The visual previews the anime's character designs, and unveils the Outer Senshi characters for the first time.
The anime will have a stage program at the AnimeJapan 2016 event on March 26. The stage program will announce more information on the third season, as well as a new project.
The third season is premiering in spring with new staff. Chiaki Kon (Nodame Cantabile: Paris, Junjō Romantica, Golden Time) will take over from Munehisa Sakai in directing the anime. Akira Takahashi (Dokidoki! Precure, Suite Precure character design, Sailor Moon Crystal episode animation director) will take over from Yukie Sako in drawing the character designs. Yūji Kobayashi is still in charge of the series' scripts. Takashi Kurahashi is returning as art director, and Yasuharu Takanashi is returning to compose the music. King Records will once again produce the music, and Toei Animation will again animate the series.
Additionally, a Niconico livestream event will announce the cast for the Outer Senshi on Wednesday (January 27 is also Haruka Tenou/Sailor Uranus' birthday).
The third season will focus on the Death Busters arc (also called the Infinity arc). The new season will assemble all 10 Senshi — specifically, the popular outer Senshi such as Sailor Uranus, Sailor Neptune, and Sailor Saturn will join Sailor Moon, Sailor Chibi Moon, and the others. The new season will adapt the arc from the fifth and sixth volumes of the complete edition of Naoko Takeuchi's original Sailor Moon manga.
Kotono Mitsuishi will continue to reprise the starring title role for the third season. Other returning cast for the third season includes: Hisako Kanemoto as Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury, Rina Satou as Rei Hino/Sailor Mars, Ami Koshimizu as Makoto Kino/Sailor Jupiter, Shizuka Itou as Minako Aino/Sailor Venus, Ryou Hirohashi as Luna, and Kenji Nojima as Tuxedo Mask/Mamoru Chiba.
Crunchyroll, Niconico, Hulu, and other services streamed the first two Sailor Moon Crystal seasons overseas as they debuted online in Japan. Viz Media licensed both seasons for release in North America.
Takeuchi's original magical girl manga inspired an earlier anime incarnation that aired for five seasons from 1992 to 1997. That television anime from two decades ago spawned several feature films and theatrical shorts as well. A string of popular stage musicals ran from 1993 to 2005, and a new all-female musical production helped launch the franchise's 20th anniversary in 2013. The third musical in the current revival ended its run in October, and like the upcoming third Crystal season, it covered the Death Busters arc.
