season 1 is the best. i know i know - the beginnings are the spark to the sizzle. something about it, when characters first meet, and it's all fresh. wish they all have kids - all boys. up to the writers not me *wink wink*

Sailor Moon was by far one of the oddest anime I've ever watched. Well, here goes. I really liked this anime. I actuallt used to hate it (I was watching the old dub and didn't know any better). After seeing the horrid Cartoon Network version that made 4kids One Piece look like gold, it made me get the hell out of dodge. But a few years later, I gave it another chance when it was redubbed in 2014 and I liked it. It really had a likable protagonist (despite her utter lack of courage... and brains). The story was really well paced and it gave every main character a proper introduction and backstory. The main villain really surprised me, I initially thought she was boring and worthless, but after seeing why she was doing what she was doing I really admired her as a villain. 

And now the flaws. First is the animation, which is really beautiful to look at, but then they mess it up by constantly reusing footage from previous episodes (I know a lot of anime does this, but this one in particular), another problem is some of the characters. Their personalities vary too much, Usagi for example is a big one, she makes these awkward switches from determined to pee your pants scared in the blink of an eye. And the final flaw is the massive amount of filler. It had some pointless episodes such as one where the girls go figure skating, or one where they fake a falling out, those were bad, but it did have some good ones that gave the characters good development and you could somehow root for them. I would say the high amount of time spent on romance is an issue, but I'm not the target demographic so I let that go.

I'm overall glad I gave this another chance, it turned out to be something quite exquisite. I would recommend it to people who want well developed characters, but it still has a few flaws that would drive the average person away for more superior titles.

Since this was made a while ago obviously it wouldn't be the best but it was still pretty good. The characters have their own unique personalities and teach various morals and lessons to young girls, and guys. The main protagonist may have her faults but learns from them and makes new friends in her several attempts to save the world.

Sailor Moon is a fun classic anime. Its original in a lot of ways like being one of the first anime that's all girls. I enjoy the anime a lot because the episodes are moderately dark and really funny and random at times. 

I like how they kept adding more characters along the way and you grow with Sailor Moon and her friends with each adventure.

i dropped the series simply because many of the episodes begin to seem redundant & overly predictable similarly to Pokemon.

Overall I am a fan of the series and will always support #GirlPower!

Sailor Moon is great with fantasy, the best picture these classics of television. The scouts are name after the planets on this solar system of the ether enveloping space and time. Their abilities are drawn from their home planet and in a way their model physical aspects. For instance Mars(Sailor) is good with fire magic(Dark), Jupiter(Sailor) with lightning(Brown), and there is Moon(Sailor) tiara(Blonde) along with then Mercury(Sailor) ball of ice(Blue). At last the hero which is a male wields rozes some sort of barrage or other attributes that fights evil along with the sailor scouts. Aside from the main scouts there are a few or a bunch more which determines the grand total. The series starting up at animations possibly will be no charm decreaser or cause physical harm most of it.
