Reception
Alison Hynes of Anime News Network said the Sailor Moon R film is an ideal introduction to the series. Chris Beveridge of Mania said the film was essentially "a solid long episode". Rob Lineberger of DVD Verdict said the film stays true to the Sailor Moon formula and also said that the film contains "real drama and emotion". Ikuhara's direction has also been praised, and the artwork in the film is superior to that of the series, although it has deteriorated slightly, and that the pacing is good. Patrick Drazen considers the opening flashback to be "reminiscent of François Truffaut".
