All aboard the hype train! Moon Pride is the music video for the opening song for the first season of Sailor Moon: Crystal. It was released before the first episode of the series as a promotional video and contained some of the first animation we would see for the upcoming series. Much like the actual artwork for the show's first season, the music video is a mixed bag of high-quality 2D animation and 3D effects sprinkled in that don't look quite as stellar. What you can't fault is the song though - the opening theme fits the show's aesthetic and attitude nicely. Overall, Moon Pride is agood promotional video featuring some original animation that helped promote one of the decade's most hyped reboots.
