Eight days is a weird number to start a countdown on, but I’ve reached the point of being too excited about Crystal not to have some outlet. I’m not sure if I’ll try and draw something for all the remaining days, but I’ll do something to countdown.
Today I want to talk about how excited I am for Crystal!Naru. I’ve always really liked Naru (even when I knew her as Molly), but PGSM brought her to a whole nother level. I hope Crystal keeps a few of her PGSM aspects, particularly her awareness. She always knew when something was wrong, whether it was that her mother was replaced by a youma or just that Mio was spreading lies about Usagi. It gave her a sense of capability even though she didn’t have powers, and I think it would be so cool if some of that carried over.
However, even if she follows her manga or original anime characterization 100%, I’m really looking forward to seeing her next Saturday (especially since we haven’t even seen her design yet). I’m really really happy they’re keeping the jewelry store first episode. I think it’s amazing that all (non-musical) versions start at the same place, but end up being so different. Usagi’s relationship with Naru is such a great starting point, too. I can’t wait to see where Crystal goes with it.
