Watching the series again, it still has very good animation.

Sailor Moon revolutionized pop culture and anime.

It's a really great series. I've watched it, and I like it a lot. What have been the best moments and arcs of the series?

Do you think the Sailor Moon SuperS arc is the best one in the anime, or was it overrated?

The best

 

[German Shocks]

Anyone who liked the original anime should check out Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. It's a tokisatsu retelling of that same basic story, and the creators used that retelling to really tighten up a lot of the plot beats and make things more coherent. It feels like the sailor moon story you remember watching rather than the one you actually watched.

 

[Liopleurodon]

One of the most legendary anime franchises ever.

Back when I was a young kid, I think I saw Sailor Moon on TV while hopping between the different channels, but it looked too girly for me (girls are gross when you're a young boy) so it never clicked with me, and now 20 years later ofc I remember Sailor Moon but because I've never actually watched it I have no nostalgia for it and can't relate

I definitely enjoyed it back in the 90s alongside DBZ, even bought a bunch of the VHS tapes. Haven't watched any of the newer series though. For me it's legacy is showing a teenage boy sexy anime girls and their short skirts.

The series was popular... but the SNES games never arrived.

 

[tamago84]

I remember watching it for the first time on cartoon network as a kid..i was so curious about the world of anime then

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I like Hotaru and The Girls are sexy and beautiful

Was *Sailor Moon SuperS* the most overrated arc of the series?

That arc gets a lot of hype, but I just don't see it as a high point for Sailor Moon.

And I always want this game...

It was most likely Sailor Moon R. The villains were green-skinned alien twins, or something like that, right?

 

[mopspear]

I put Sailor Moon on for my dog when I go to the grocery store. She's a girl. I'll get around to actually watching my blu-ray copy someday.

ah yes, that alien is amazed me when I was young back then. but it has bittersweet ending if i remember correctly. i think i will need to rewatch it

SuperS in my opinion had some of the better character design art in a number of episodes and some episodes were hilarious. Such as when the girls thought Chibi Usa was having her first crush/boyfriend.

Though speaking of Chibi Usa it was in that season that she pretty much was the co-lead with Usagi so I can see why some people take away points for that.

 

[uncreativename]

Sailor Moon ftw

That arc was good; the first season is one of the best.

That's one of the most divisive arcs in the series... But the best villain is Queen Beryl. And for the audience, it's Queen Nehelenia.

Wow

 

[GateofD]

Sailor Moon S was my favorite, first season where i felt it actually had a long running plot and everyone had their own focused episodes.

 

[p_xavier]

Sailor Moon Crystal 3 is top tier. Naoko Takeuch made so much hope. I'm grateful with this manga.

 

[p_xavier]

Fake one but combined.

My kinda topic!!

I came here to say that I went to an anime nerd convention expecting hot women in cosplay, but what I got was a bunch of blokes in sailor moon costumes and fat women in Hatsune Miku costumes. I did however manage to pick up some cool Chisato and Takina figurines, so not all bad.

neptune was so fucking cool.

All the transformations were great...but I remember watching Saturn and Neptune in Japanese and having my 199X mind blown. "Wait...their clothes are just GONE!?!?!" It was a far more innocent time....

I like Lycoris Recoil too

Sailor Moon made me the viligante security guy that I am today. Always be the strong ethics guy. (wirh aerospace degrees)

 

[MayauMiao]

Never watched the anime or read the manga fully but I'm very aware of the franchise for a long time, I just can't get into magical girl anime.

That said, this Sailor keep popping up on my Youtube Shorts.





What a beauty.

Stellar Blade Bloodrain.

Stellar Blade Bloodrain.

Will do of course. I invested in tampons compagnies. (woke joke)

 

[uncreativename]

I think my fave character's Minako as well btw, op.

I used to have a photo mode photo from Cyberpunk 2077 with my character doing the Sailor Moon pose, but it's gone. All that's left are a bunch of photos of the funniest bugs I ran into and Johnny reacting to having to fuck River lol. I'll have to take another one when I get around to replaying it and playing Phantom Liberty for the first time.

 

[GymWolf]

I remember enjoying the snes videogame in coop...
