Does Sailor-Moon Crystal feel rushed, or is it just me?



We've been in Season 3 of Sailor-Moon Crystal for a few months now, and it feels apparent to me that Toei rushed this reboot of the Sailor-Moon series. There's a lack of focus on Usagi interactions with her friends, and the villains lack any depth. Even as far back as Season 1, when Toei gave fans the fan service of Queen Beryl's four kings being former lovers to the Sailor-Soldiers/Scouts in their past lives, that wasn't developed to the degree it could have been. It was treated like something that just happened and there wasn't anymore to it. I mean c'mon, we're talking about Usagi's friends finding love at the same time she did, at least treat it with the dignity and depth, it deserves! And speaking of the Sailor-Soldiers, they hardly get any screen time. The focus seems to solely be on Usagi, Mamoru, and as of Season 2: "Little Usagi". The other scouts hardly get any time on the screen to show off their characters, and seeing the lack of Uranus and Neptune's interactions with each other this season has me feeling a tad sour.
