EDIT: 10/27
I knew of this one before, but I was waiting for sailormooncenter.net to put up a high quality R2 clip of it.
It's HUGE. ;D
In Moon's Crystal Power transformation, when it zooms in on her face and all her accessories materialize, you can clearly see that her red hair things are on the wrong cel layer. They're floating in FRONT of her bangs. It's like this for the entire dang sequence, and is only corrected when she finally lifts her head and opens her eyes. I noticed it way back when when I first started watching SM yrs ago, and it always made me twitch slightly in annoyance when her hair things appeared to be floating front of her face.
How could no one on the staff ever catch that? Or is it something where once the animation's done, everything's set in stone and no one can go back and just slip that cel in the correct layer. And on a side note I apologize if I bastardized the animation industry by getting the animation process completely wrong, but I'm assuming that stuff like that is on its own cel layer... eh whatever. lol.
Here's a gif of the sequence in all its floating hair thingie glory:
Isn't it fun to know professional animators make mistakes?
Have you ever look at some of the attacks frame by frame? You'll notice that on the rare occasion something's not quite right...
Of course, at full speed you usually don't notice, but if you pause it does look silly.
The animators seemed to have trouble with eternal sailormoon. They drew the chest cover on her outfit more than once. (the second time I know of is in the episode where Galaxia kills the inner senshi, not an attack sequence)
Usually frame errors last just a few frames, but in Silvermoon crystal power kiss, they drew her chest protector for ten consecutive frames (LOL), and that's the actual individual frames, not frame count.
Green outline shows the correct outfit, red outline shows the incorrect (chest plate) ones.
In that same sequence, they also forgot to draw part of her arm/hand.
I know it's small and hard to see, but look at where it's circled in the first couple frames, her arm is clearly shown. In the next three, her arm is gone. Chest protector is still there though. lol.
This mistake's not nearly as big, but I still decided to cap it. Look at where I circled. They mixed up what part should be shadowed. Usually stuff like that looks fine, but it was an abrupt shadow change with no large movement so it really shows.
This is the only mistake I found in her Honeymoon attack. Pretty funny. Look at where I circled. In the first two frames her underarm area is the correct color, but in the next three frames it's the color of her bubblegum arm puffball... things.
Well, just goes to show I have too much time on my hands.
Actually I had been working nonstop for the past week on schoolwork, so I needed a freaking break.
