a5c7b9f00b The story centers around an air-headed crybaby, named Usagi, and her friends Ami, Rei, Makato, and Minako. Using special powers, they can transform into Sailor Solders. They become Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus respectfully. They fight for love and justice against the evil minions of The Dark Kingdom. To help them in their quest, they heed the advice of two talking cats, Luna and Artemis, and also the mysterious Tuxedo Mask. Usagi, a normal teenage girl, finds out she&#39;s Sailor Moon and gets into all sorts of trouble at the beginning trying to fight for love and justice. She then gets better and with her friends Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus they fight against the evils of The Dark Kingdom, The Hell Tree, and The Black Moon. This is definitely the best anime I have ever seen. No other anime could hold a candle to it. In fact, with the sole exception of Transformers, I would say this is my favorite cartoon series of all time. This is a bit strange because there&#39;s not a lot of good anime out there. There are some good ones, even a couple great ones (besides SM), but I find most anime is too cutesy (Pokemon), too stupid (Dragonball Z), or just plain wrong (I don&#39;t even want to think about them). Anyway, I&#39;ve loved this since I was 7. I&#39;m not surprised that it lasted 5 seasons - Sailor Moon (dubbedSailor Moon Classic by fans), Sailor Moon R, Sailor Moon S, Sailor Moon Super S, &amp; Sailor Stars. Evena kid, I knew Sailor Moon was a real classic. My mom even liked watching it with me. That was the dub, and that&#39;s still the version I prefer. In the original, there was a lack of humor, the dialogue was often confusing, and the voices, while not bad, were hard to tell apart. Although Stars was never dubbed, and it was still great (the first two complaints don&#39;t apply to Stars).<br/><br/>A large part of what made the series so great was the lovable characters. My favorite was Darien, AKA Tuxedo Mask. I thought his razor-sharp roses were so cool. It always made my day to see him help Sailor Moon out, plus he was often very funny. My 2nd favorite was Serena, AKA Sailor Moon herself. Sure, she started out immature, but by the start of the 2nd season, she accepted her destinySailor Moon, and each season after that she gets better &amp; better, until by the end of the series you know that when the time comes for her to take her placequeen of Crystal Tokyo, she&#39;ll be ready for it. And, she &amp; Tuxedo Mask are my favorite couple in a cartoon, aside from Silverbolt &amp; Blackarachnia in Beast Wars Transformers. Also up there was Rini, Sailor Moon&#39;s &amp; Tuxedo Mask&#39;s daughter from the future (now you know why they&#39;re my 2nd favorite couple). She&#39;s very cute, especially when she gets to fight alongside her future momSailor Mini-Moon in season 3. And there&#39;s the Inner Sailors, Amy/Mercury, Ray/Mars, Lita/Jupiter, &amp; Mina/Venus. They were all perfectly balanced. There are also the talking cats Luna &amp; Artemis. They were cute &amp; funny. And guess what? They get to have a daughter (named Diana) in the future too (who only appears in season 4 and the first part of season 5). She was more surprising than Rini, because I knew Sailor Moon &amp; Tuxedo Mask truly loved each other, but the cats were content with just being friends, or so it seemed. And, last but not least, the outer Sailors, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Pluto, who appear in seasons 3 &amp; 5wellthe 2nd &amp; 3rd movies (except for Pluto who appears in all that and a bit of the last part of season 2). They were good, but notgoodthe Inner Sailors.<br/><br/>The villains are justwell-donethe heroes. There are way too many to mention, but suffice to say Sailor Moon has some of the most evil, unique &amp; definitely the scariest villains I have ever seen in a cartoon. They face a different group of villains every season who are destroyed at the end (with the exception of those who turn good), so it never gets boring (unlike Pokemon, where they face against those Team Rocket losers in every single stupid episode &amp; movie).<br/><br/>Of course, the stories were excellent too. All 5 seasons each had a complex story that unfolded over individual episodes. Sure, there&#39;s a lot of filler, but it fleshes out the characters on both sides, &amp; it&#39;s often funny, several times hilarious, &amp; almost always so fun that you don&#39;t mind it. Butthe series goes on, there are several rather serious moments. As the fun &amp; often funny stories that each season starts out with slowly turn into the dark, sometimes painful final struggle against the villain of the season, you really care for the heroes, wondering whether they&#39;ll survive or not then rejoicing when everything turns out alright (at least, that&#39;s how I felt). More so than any other series, I have trouble picking my favorite season. Classic was a perfect introduction to the series (evena kid I thought it was the start of something big), R was the most romantic season (The R can stand for either return or romance. Guess which one I think?), S was the darkest, Super S was the funniest &amp; the cutest (I can&#39;t believe so many people hate it), and Stars wrapped up everything neatly and with a bang.<br/><br/>One last thing, Sailor Moon has the best in-show music I have ever heard (the Japanese music, . The creepy theme for the villains, the dreamy transformation music for Sailor Moon &amp; the other Sailors (I had the music for her transformation in S stuck in my head for days), the exciting theme when they battle the monster of the day, the totally kick-butt theme for Tuxedo Mask, &amp; all the other tuneswell.<br/><br/>In conclusion, Sailor Moon is recommended to anyone who wants a funny, romantic, thoughtful &amp; engaging story. I also recommend all 3 of the movies.<br/><br/>10/10- 2nd best cartoon ever. Bishoujo Senshi Seeraa Muun (orknown in the StatesSimply Sailor Moon) is the story of a normal girl, Tsukino Usagi/Serena (who loves food and hates school–wow, that&#39;s so horrible! Sounds like any 14 yr old girl that&#39;s somewhat normal), who finds out she&#39;s the reincarnation of the Pretty Sailor Suited Soldier Sailor Moon. The show originally ran from 1992-1994 (They showed the first season in the US in 1992 and ran through what we knowthe Doom Tree saga, where DiC dropped the show).<br/><br/>In a nutshell, we follow the lives of what starts off5, then turns into 9, girlsthey grow and mature…and at the same time balance High School entrance exams with fighting off the evil forces that try to take over the Earth–and the rest of the universe for that matter. Dic ruined the first of the show with its obsessive compulsive censoring (when it actually didn&#39;t need any) and love of adding in subliminal &quot;Lessons of the day&quot; to appeal to parents. Cloverway took over, giving us the true beauty of the series…save for making a pair of female lovers into cousins. They won&#39;t show the final season SailorStars because of more noticeable evidence of the female pair&#39;s relationship and the addition of a trio of males that turn into female, scantily clad Sailor Soldiers. <br/><br/>US version is somewhat poor, but the subtitles uncut version is great for everyone from the young to the young at heart.
