Line 14:
* [[Anime Theme Song]]: Following in the footsteps of the [[Live Action Adaptation]], ''Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: Crystal'' uses a new theme written for it instead of the venerable "Moonlight Densetsu". Rather than being about finding one's "miracle romance", the new theme is about being a strong and determined woman ready to do battle for what she believes in.
* [[Art Shift]]: Compared to the original anime, which disturbs some fans. In addition to a crisper, sharper look (no doubt thanks to modern digital animation) with a hint of pastels in the coloring, the overall art style harkens directly back to the original manga.
* [[Big Blackout]]: Imposed by Kunzite on Tokyo in episode 9.
* [[Big Fancy House]]: The Tsukino home -- well, by comparison to some of the nearby homes, at least. It seems somewhat larger and actually has a tiny yard on all sides, surrounded by a wall; it even has a garage, suggesting ownership of an auto in a city where such is uncommon.
* [[Blind Without'Em]]: Princess D in episode 4.
Line 23 ⟶ 24:
* [[Elaborate Underground Base]]: As in the original anime, the Senshi have one under the Crown Arcade. Unlike the original anime, though, this base appears to be in a pocket dimension rather than a sub-basement.
* [[Evil Vizier]]: Oddly enough, Beryl appears to be this to Metaria. Rather than the devoted servant we've seen in previous incarnations of the story, she's ''using'' Metaria to achieve her own ends while fully intending to deny Metaria its own goals.
* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: Subverted -- when Usagi's hair grows to an extreme degree after she regains her earlier incarnation's memories, the other girls give her a haircut and makeover that [[Reset Button|returns her look to exactly what had been before]].
* [[Extroverted Nerd]]: Umino.
* [[Finish Him!|Finish Her!]]: What Tuxedo Kamen says to Sailor Moon during the confrontation with the youma in episode 2.
* [[Flashback Cut]]: When Usagi and Ami's hands touch for the first time, Ami gets a momentary flashback to the Silver Millennium. Rei gets one just upon ''seeing'' Usagi the first time, as does Makoto.
** Usagi gets her own in episode 8, and comments that she felt like she was almost about to remember something important.
* [[Forbidden Fruit]]: Revealed in episode 9 to play a big part of Endymion and Serenity falling in love -- Earth people and Moon people are forbidden from getting involved with each other by "God's rule". Serenity even attempts to break things off on these grounds, however half-heartedly.
* [[Forgotten Phlebotinum]]: Played with -- Sailor Moon's "sonic attack", which in the original anime was used during her first appearance and never seen again, here shows up twice -- but the second youma [[It Only Works Once|is unaffected by it]].
* [[Free Prize At the Bottom]]: How Ami gets her henshin wand and Usagi gets her disguise pen -- they're both dispensed from the ''Sailor V'' video game when Ami beats the high score.
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|Get a Hold of Yourself, Girl!]]: Said by Makoto when Usagi has a panic attack late in episode 9.
* [[Golem]]: Instead of being a race of demonic creatures as they were in the original anime, the youma of the Dark Kingdom are some variety of golem, and immediately crumble when killed. Jadeite forms his from clay. They seem to be animated or inhabited by some variety of spirit, though, capable of sophisticated thought and cunning.
* [[Gratuitous French]]: "A suivre" ("to be continued") on a [[Title Card]] at the end of each episode.
* [[Hemisphere Bias]]: Seen in one of the bumper illustrations
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Endymion/Mamoru -- twice.
* [[Huge Schoolgirl]]: Makoto is significantly taller than Usagi, but just ''how'' tall she is seems to vary by the needs of the moment. During her first appearance in school in episode 5, she looms over one of the ''male'' teachers, but a few minutes later, she's not quite a head taller than Usagi, who is a tiny thing. At the same time, she's not too much shorter than Motoki...
* [[Les Yay]]: Not exactly unexpected, given the history of the franchise.
Line 41 ⟶ 47:
* [[Meganekko]]: Ami, right from the start.
* [[Mind Control Eyes]]: Every time the Dark Kingdom uses mind control as a tool we see them on the victims.
* [[Morphic Resonance]]: According to Minako, when Usagi regained the memories of Princess Serenity, her body -- and in particular her hair -- started to change to reflect the princess's self-image.
* [[Motionless Chin]]: Possibly in deliberate imitation of the original; certainly with digital animation there's no budgetary or other requirement for this shortcut.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: The Senshi's transformation tokens have frequently been called "henshin pens" by the fandom over the past twenty-some years because of their resemblance to pens with fancy caps. Here they actually ''are'' pens, and it's the pen's cap which is the magic item.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: When Usagi finally manifests the Ginzuishou in episode 9, its light revitalizes and heals -- but it also ends up feeding Metaria (who is all the way in the Dark Kingdom) the energy it needs.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Usagi, as part of her ability to make friends with anyone.
* [[Off-Model]]: Again, only by comparison to the original anime. Characters are thinner and have exaggerated legs and more adult-looking faces with larger eyes (as they did in the manga); their heads appear slightly too large for their bodies in some shots. Individual characters also have changes specific to them -- for instance, Ami's pageboy-like haircut is now a shaggy gamine closer to [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Rei Ayanami's]] style.
* [[Opaque Nerd Glasses]]: Umino -- and they're huge to the point of comedy.
* [[Paper Master]]: The youma behind the Crystal Seminar.
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Usagi starts with Rapunzel Hair, but in the wake of regaining the memories of her previous incarnation, her hair accelerates its growth to an incredible degree.
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: Queen Beryl is not above showing up in the human world and taking a hand in matters.
* [[Standard Female Grab Area]]: In episode 7, Zoisite seizes Usagi by the upper arm to restrain her while confronting Tuxedo Mask. To her credit, she's already been battered a bit ''and'' used an exhausting magical effect shortly before, so her brief inability to act is probably not entirely due to the grip.
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Umino is capable of this, often suddenly appearing amongst Usagi and her friends in early episodes.
