*Rewriting this review because I feel that my original review wasn't very good* The entire Sailor Moon series is an absolute classic in my eyes, and it's one of my favorite anime series ever. I've rated every season of the 90's anime at least 4 stars, and there are 5 seasons, so I'd say that's pretty impressive. This season in particular was probably my favorite next to the Stars arc. Anyway, let's get into the actual review! (Also, I haven't watched this season since the beginning of 2022, so apologies if my memory is bad and I get some things wrong.) Story The story was very good, I actually liked it more than Sailor Moon Classic. I found the premise very interesting, and I liked the parts that dealt with Sailor Pluto and opening the gate to the past. I also found the idea of 30th century Crystal Tokyo to be interesting. Anyway, I guess I don't have much to say here, I just liked the story. Animation The animation is obviously not on the level of modern animation, which is understandable. But I still find the 90's animation to be absolutely iconic. The look of the characters is so cute, and I liked the bits of humor that they added into it. Sound I absolutely loved the soundtrack to the entire Sailor Moon series; the original opening is dark, yet beautiful. This season was no exception to my love of Sailor Moon's soundtrack. Characters Okay, I have a few opinions on the characters in this season, specifically the newly introduced ones. The villains in R are my absolute favorite villains in the entire series. I loved how the spectre sisters got development, and I love how much more complex and more morally gray that the villains were in this series overall. (Also, Koan is my favorite of the spectre sisters :)) Honestly, I did find Chibi-usa a little annoying at first, but she did end up growing on me. Though, I still find it weird how she has a crush on Mamoru, who is A) much older than her and B) her father. That's weird. But other than that, I don't mind her. Also, Sailor Pluto is probably one of my favorite sailor guardians, absolutely love her. Overall This series, next to the Stars arc, holds a very special place in my heart. I absolutely love it, and I hope others do too! Rating: 9/10 or 4.5/5 stars

Story: I am sorry but I just can't seem to fully love Chibi-Usa(Rini). I know she is a kid and she hasn't learn much yet and you can't expect much from an 8 year old but still I don't enjoy her character. The story truly will revolve around her so it's interesting. I will say that I love how this storyline is based on the future so you get a glimpse of how life will be. I enjoyed the future scenes in the show but wished it was as good as the first season.  Animation: Animation is better than the first but it's still not the complete best. Like my previous review of Sailor Moon, you can't really compare this series with something made in 2013. So with that said, I think it's pretty good animation. There was a huge upgrade in artwork that I noticed from the first season like brighter and bolder use of color. I felt that it was a lot more colorful than the first and I really enjoyed that.  Soundtrack: I always enjoy a Sailor Moon soundtrack because they tend to use the same or similar music and I like that. I don't mind having new music but something about the old music just makes my heart melt. I love the overall soundtrack of Sailor Moon because it reminds you of certain scenes. I am always a fan of the Sailor Moon Soundtrack.  Characters: Again, great in depth characterization of each Sailor Scout. What I liked most about this series was how in depth they went into the villains. You get to learn so much about them and why they act that way. It's always a great for me to know how and why a person is who they are. Everyone is born good and it's how you are raised and what affects you that makes you an evil person. I love being able to be compassionate towards the villains in the show. On the other hand, I don't like Chibi-Usa's personality but that's just me. (Yes, I don't like the kid, but that's only in this series. I find her more enjoyable in season 4).  Overall: I would say it is not as action packed as the first season but it's still a really great show to watch. This season is my most unliked season of the Sailor Moon series because I can't stand Chibi-Usa(Rini). But the future scenes are so amazing and I just love how Neo Queen Serenity looks like. She is everything I imagined and she looks just like her mom. Chibi-Usa looks more like Queen Serenity of Silver Millenium(Princess Serenity's Mom from Season 1). Overall, still a likeable season but there's better seasons.
