Star Henshin Sticks; Why?

Ok, I hope I don't start another "star stick,planet power" debate here, but I was wondering what people thought about the moon cats just giving the new henshin sticks to the inners with no explanation in the anime. In the Manga, Luna powered their old sticks in the prayer room of the Moon Castle and they became upgraded. If the moon cats could just give the senshi their sticks, wouldn't it make more sense to give them the sticks earlier.

I just wanted to see what everyone thought of this.

Seems I definitely have to check out the manga x3 I never knew that it was any different and never really speculated over why they just had the newer upgraded sticks that seemed to just... pop up. I just assumed that it was sort of like something new that had come in and they were able to give it o the scouts to enhance/boost their powers or something.

I think an explanation in the anime would have been great and I'm not really sure why it would have been taken out since it's not as though I could see it really being.. offensive or anything to anyone.

It was probably easier for them to just get the sticks wherever they were at the time, instead of going certain places for it... JupiterConfused But that and all the other manga-to-anime changes are why I like the manga better

i guess it just saved them time, which is odd, because in the anime there are soo many filler episodes, which you can tell were cheaper to make because the animation style deteriorates a bit.

i guess we'll never know.

sma is hilarious

I thought it would make sense for their Henshin Pens to upgrade during their indiviual episodes were they get new powers, or in Jupiter and Venus's case, their shared episode.

Why do Jupiter and Venus have to share the same episode where they get new power upgrades anyways. It happened twice.

I think the star sticks required an high energy level in order to be used by the senshi, that's why Luna and Artemis waited that long before giving them to the girls. More, the magicals power of the senshi has grown in the Alien/Ann arc (crescent beam shower, thunder drogon, etc, etc...) and they needed an upgrade because they are using an high level of energy during their fights, that's why the new sticks are required.

They just leveled up, being able in using a strong magical item.
This was not possible before.

Hope this makes sense.

It's a really weird thing to change. They couldn't have made Luna say "Hey guys, I upgraded your transformation sticks."

Like a LOLcat.

I'm not sure she should be IN their sailor suits. That seems like a breech of privacy.

What is this SMA website? It sounds kind of familiar, but I'm having problems finding it in my bookmarks or just by googling random Sailor Moon A____ stuff heh.

Also never really liked the random "here's new stuff" things. I felt like it should have been more like "give me your current stuff so I can upgrade it for you, it takes some time, so make sure you don't go into dangerous situations alone" so... that would give them some story lines for a bit maybe. Until they had to do it again next season.
