I was very disappointed with this fourth season. I had been pleasantly surprised by the previous seasons, which managed to combine real depth in terms of storyline and themes with a light tone, but this season was really pointless and, in my opinion, a failure.
I understand the idea of making Chibi Moon, the child of the group, the protagonist to create a duality with Queen Nehelliena, who refuses to age, but it's very clumsy since the characters remain very simplistic and uninteresting to follow, unlike some of their predecessors. What's more, the season is far too long for what it's trying to tell, so we end up with a lot of episodes that are redundant and sometimes make the Sailors less endearing than they were before. I'm thinking of my favorite, Sailor Venus, who is severely damaged i…

You couldn't pay me to watch this season again. I don't know how it has a 7.6 because at least for me its nothing close to that. This season has pretty much no connection to season 3 so I guess its filler but it being filler shouldn't make it this bad I mean season 2 had a filler arc and that was good at least. Anyways the reason I hated this season the most is because its stupid and boring. Like the episodes have usually the morning dumb plots and usagi was super annoying in this season during non important episodes. This whole season basically only chibi usa and sailor moon fight with the other sailor senshis barley doing anything. I wish they would have actually gotten new designs similar to sailor moon instead of basically the same outfit I've seen for 4 seasons now. Also I hate the pl…

Sailor Moon SuperS is one of the more interesting of the five total seasons of Sailor Moon (although the fifth season wasn't dubbed, I'm still not considering this the final season). To start, SuperS makes the rather daring decision to have a focus shift completely away from Usagi and the other Sailor Senshi and instead focus almost solely on Chibiusa. Now, I will say up front that this depends on your thoughts about Chibiusa; if you happened to find her unbearable in Sailor Moon R, then this review will be taken negatively. However, I will be addressing this from the perspective of a viewer who has at minimum, tolerated Chibiusa's antics up until this point.
As previously mentioned, the focus of SuperS is on Chibiusa, Sailor Moon's daughter. The season has a very strong emphasis on dream…

This won't be as long as my Sailor Moon first season review, and for good reason. This series pretty much follows the Pretty Guardian blueprint as every other season has, meaning there's not more to say other than: if you liked previous seasons, you'll probably like this one too. There's definitely a lot of filler and its not particularly revolutionary for the series as a whole, but, for me, it was certainly worth the watch. Keep in mind, however, that a lot of issues are in fact present, particularly from the few changes they did make.
I'm going to skip past any summary of the series with the assumption you've already read one elsewhere or have already seen this season. This season in particular starts out in one of the more unique ways that I've seen. The eclipse that our protagonists…

WARNING: This review may contain spoilers
After the comparatively darker season that was Sailor Moon S, this time we get a more lighthearted season.
Story - The story this time focuses more on Chibiusa. After a solar eclipse, a circus lands in Juban area. This is the Dead Moon Circus and they're looking for Pegasus, who is hiding in someone's dream. Meanwhile Chibiusa dreams of a Pegasus who tells her to save him. The story is pretty cute and all, but my gosh it could get boring at times. There's loads of filler and it takes a long time for the plot to actually progress. Story gets a 6/10
Art - Its Sailor Moon so the art is bound to be beautiful. 10/10
Sound - The sound was also good. I just love the soundtrack that plays during Moon Gorgeous Meditation. 8/10
Characters - Only a few…

i did something i typically hate to do during shows. skipped episodes. i usually even hate skipping fillers most the time. but god most the episodes were so,,, irritating to watch. usually i like seeing the bonding with the girls or usagi/mamo but this whole damn season revolves around chibusa. it was so frustrating to watch her basically replace usagi as the main character and see practically everything focused on her. and that weird romance thing with pegasus/helios. who the hell thought that was a good idea 😭 anyways as much as i enjoyed the rest of the show this made me want to throw my phone against the wall

I am well aware that this season is the weakest of the Sailor Moon series, but in my honest opinion, it isn't horrible or great, but just a fine season with a few good episodes here and there.
The story here is pretty simple, but it's nothing too groundbreaking for Sailor Moon standards. The big bad of the season mainly just wants to not be ugly and that's her only motivation. It's does have some stakes, but it's pretty straightforward to comprehend.
As with all Sailor Moon seasons, the art design is well made and shows that the Toei animators working on the series had come a long way from the first season. Beautifully detailed backgrounds, character emotions and expressions, and a bunch of great scenes, this season excels in improving the previous seasons' animation, with it's own flair…

This might be biased, but this is my favorite season of the show. For some odd reason, this season is the most memorable season from this anime to me. I remember Pegasus so much. The humor and the characters was what made me love this season so much.
If you want to rewatch a season, I would suggest this one. The whole dream mirror arc was interesting to me. Each episode had such a powerful meaning and impact on me as a child, that I think I still take it to heart to this day for these meanings. The character development between rini and serena/usagi really shows a lot throughout this season, so I would suggest watching this season.

Though a pretty good season as a whole, a big step down from past seasons of the show.
One of the main things dragging it down is the much higher concentration on romance. I really don't like romance plots, and while the show did a good job of mostly confining the romance-centered episodes to fillers earlier, here romantic plots are prominent in most episodes, especially with the Amazon Trio's constant flirting with the characters of the day, and I didn't enjoy them at all.
As well, compared to earlier seasons the plots were less interesting and more slow. Many episodes spent the first 10-15 minutes with slice-of-life or romance stuff, with the Monster of the Week stuff only happening at the end, and I didn't really enjoy that.
Yet, despite all that, most of the episodes were at least…

I've done a lot of reviews online over the years. Most have been anime but I've also looked at comics like Civil War, live action TV shows like the First Doctor from Doctor Who, Films like DEBS, cartoons like Spectacular Spider-man and even video games like Miitopia. I've reviewed some of the worst anime out there, some of the most generic and some of the best. All from a wide variety of genres. And now, I'm reviewing anime number 400. With every hundredth review, I've had a tradition of looking at the next instalment of the Sailor Moon franchise. We've looked at the first series, R, S and, now it's time for a look at SuperS. Who knows, maybe I'll be going long enough to get to the controversial Crystal series. But we'll worry about that when we get to it.
Story:
We open with our pretty…

There's an old saying; "Everyone likes ice cream. But you don't like it when someone shoves it into you by the gallon." I like Sailor Moon. I think it's campy and cliche, but in a positive and charming way. And for three seasons, the formulaic magical girl show retained it's charm. But, then comes Season 4 aka "Sailor Moon SuperS"...
The same old gimmick applies here. Bunch of goofy, colorful bad guys show up trying to collect items to reach an item that will have dire consequences for the Earth. And it's up to the Sailor Scouts to save the day! And off we go on another 40-ish episode grind through the bad guy chain of command before reaching our final battle. New transformation sequences, attacks, and the addition of new powers for the intrepid band of do good gals does not make up for a…

This is the fourth season of Sailor Moon, and this was probably the worst adapted of all of them.
The bad. The first bit of badness that came out of this was the lack of urgency in this season as compared to the dark moon circus arc in the manga. It was a darker season, but again, compared to the respective manga arc, it was like a walk in a park full of roses without thorns. Where as in the manga we get a look into the psyche of all of the Sailor Senshi. Ami feeling feeling that she'll never meet the standard of excellence that he mother reached. Makoto feeling that she wasn't marriage material because of her short temper and strong attitude. Minako feeling that all she had was her showmanship and looks, making the most upbeat and happy characters one of the most depressed in the actual…

If you don't like Chibi-Usa just stay away. You really won't miss much. They get new attacks and new wands. Just go straight to Stars, which was amazing.
I'm of the opinion that the creators of this anime royally messed up when they attempted to have 2 main female characters in a shojo anime. I am not saying that Nakoto messed up the manga. From what I've read and understood the Chibi-Usa(s) presented in the anime and the manga could pass for different people. The way Chibi-Usa is implemented in the anime however is just intolerable in my opinion.
It's not a good idea to present a main character (Usagi) and have the audience watch her grow and change and become attached and then essentially "replace" her with a new model. The arc may as well be called "Sailor Moon Super Chibi-Usa chara…

I am in agreement with most people, that SuperS is the worst season of Sailor Moon, period. I realise they are trying to "lighten the mood" so to speak after the dark S season, however it's too light. And basing the season around the series' most annoying character doesn't help.
I will admit that the animation is much improved from the season's before, but that doesn't save it.
SuperS in the manga is much more serious, and the outer senshi take a huge role in it. The anime presents the outer senshi usually as supporting characters, whereas the manga treats them as main characters. Neherenia is much darker, and a lot more is explained about the meaning of the golden crystal. While I find ALL of the manga arcs to be stronger than their anime counterparts, SuperS is the most butchered of th…

I am about to give a positive review to the least-liked season of Sailor Moon. No, I am not smoking anything and I did not just escape from a mental facility. I truly love this arc, and watch it frequently.
Story: The story is, I'll grant not as involved as the other arcs. And the fact that we know Chibi Usa has Pegasus right off the bat kills some of the suspense. SuperS is often criticized for being too light and cutesy. But even though most of the episodes are filler, as with the rest of Sailor Moon, they are rarely boring. It is lighter, but we just had S, arguably the darkest season in the series, and we're about to get into Stars, which is also very heavy on the angst. SuperS is a welcome intermission. Some of the episodes are very funny, such as when Usagi stalks Rei and Mamoru as…

If you're a Mini Moon/ Chibi-Usa fan, you'll absolutely love this season
Story: One thing that annoyed me about this season, is also an annoying point that the anime did to the first, and Stars seasons. They left out a lot of important manga plot elements. It would have been a much more worthy season if had shown those details instead of leaving them out. It was a cute season, regardless.
Art: I absolutely love how they made Pegasus look artistically. Every one of his appearances had a magical essence to it, so art-wise this season was pretty good.
Sound: No big deal in sound either in this season. No groundbreaking music, a lot of soft melodies were played throughout most of it, so it had a serene feel to it. Not horrible, but not amazing either. The voices though of Pegasus and Nehenl…

Bishoujo Senshi Sailor S is with little argument, the worst season of Sailormoon. Some may point to the Doom Tree (Season R, part I) as the worst, but we must all remember that the anime was an unexpected hit. The Doom Tree season was a placeholder while they made the actual serialization of the manga arcs. So, its forgivable. SuperS however cannot be forgiven because its had all the resources of a popular anime and still let down fans.
While the manga of the SuperS arc gave Chiba Mamoru his due spotlight, the anime version utterly refuses him of this. Chiba Mamoru is once again left to linger in the background of every story (virtually absent in the Star season to come) while Chibi-Usa is given yet again way too much screen time.
The SuperS anime focuses on Chibi-Usa, as if an entire S…
