The final season of Sailor Moon, and by far the shittiest, Sailor Stars stands as a blight on an otherwise solid classic series. This giant steaming pile of dogshit is an embarassment to anyone involved in its production. If Super S is often touted as the season that "jumped the shark," then Sailor Stars is the one that jumped the shark and launched itself into fucking orbit. Jesus Christ, how do you miss the mark so fucking badly? Say hi to Galaxia for me while you're up there.
The season starts on a mini-filler arc following the events of the last season. Even though it ended on a satisfying note, we're still gonna dredge up old plot lines that have already been resolved. It's not terrible; we get to briefly see some character interactions we NEVER see (Venus/Pluto, Mars/Neptune, etc.),…

I can't believe I finally finished sailor moon it was such a journey! I'll start by saying this season is really good and the writing is way better than season 4 which is super S, however I did have some issues with it. First off the new characters the star lights I loved, especially seiya! Ngl I wish usagi had chosen him over mamoru he is far more interesting in my opinion. Chibi chibi is absolutely adorable and sweet and far better than chibiusa. Usagi is way less annoying in this season but I have a issue with how her character was handled I'll get to that a bit later though. Unfortunately the sailor senshi mainly the inner senshi are completely useless this season, their characters are still good overall but they contribute nothing to the plot and fights, as well as mamoru he was basic…

Only slightly better than SuperS
Sailor Stars is the final season of the show and unfortunately, it's not as good as it's fans say it is. It's definitely an improvement over SuperS but not by much. While SuperS is considered the worst season of the series, Stars is the season that "jumps the shark" changing details from the manga just to be more controversial. SuperS somewhat explored the relationship between an adult horse and a young girl and Stars pushes women's sexuality, possible infidelity and a non-binary theme that Naoko Takeuchi herself didn't agree with.
Starting off the season is another mini-arc which follows and concludes the plot of SuperS. While the art and animation are inconsistent in some episodes, this arc happens the be the strongest both in tone and storytelling of t…

Sailor Moon Sailor Stars is one of the more memorable seasons of the 90's anime. Sailor Moon Sailor Stars is one of the more interesting seasons of the anime. Please note that the Nehelenia arc will be considered a part of Sailor Stars, as it aired with the season. That said, let's begin there, since it's easier to talk about. Nehelenia's story arc in SuperS, while lacking, was expanded greatly and gave her some moments in Sailor Stars, that fleshed her out from a somewhat vain but dangerous character, into a woman whose tragedy is relived in full. The vengeance she takes against the White Moon (particularly, against Usagi) cannot be understated and is the driving force for the entirety of her story arc. In short, if Queen Beryl represented jealousy and envy, and how a grudge will follow y…

The last season of an iconic classic. While not my favorite season of the show, Sailor Stars manages to be a tight and satisfying conclusion to the long, LONG running anime that is Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon. While not flawless, and overall not as good as the S arc, I really can't imagine this show ending in any other way (ok, well if Rei and Usagi got together then there is one other ending I could imagine..). The drama, like S, is engaging and meaningful. There's a lot of dark moments, and generally the atmosphere feels different from every other season of the show. Some of the most disparaging episodes come from this season, like the Nehelenia arc and the entire finale.
The new focus here is the titular Sailor Stars. I've seen distaste for them as fans say it takes away from the devel…

WARNING: This review may contain spoilers
And now we are finally onto the last season of Sailor Moon.
Story - The first six episodes of this season is a filler arc that wraps up plot threads from the last season. The Senshi all go to high school, Chibiusa is ready to go to the future, but Nehelenia is freed from her mirror and sends shards of it to Earth. One of them lands in Mamoru's eye and over the days he's badly affected by it. The filler arc ends with Nehelenia being redeemed and given a second chance at her life. The real story starts from episode 7. Mamoru goes to America for his university but shortly after he boards the flight he's killed by the new villain, Galaxia. Meanwhile an idol group called the Three Lights, consisting of Seiya, Yaten, and Taiki, transfers to Juban High…

ENGLISH REVIEW
Sailor Moon (1992-1997)
I decided to take a look at this classic, given how iconic it is, being one of the benchmarks in the world, and what can I say?
Sailor Moon adds the tropes of your typical shoujo series, with a somewhat silly, smiling, lovesick protagonist, good with everyone because yes but despite, with the passing of the episodes you grow fond of her, like her friends Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna and Hotaru
Sailor Moon is a phenomenon among Mahou-Shoujo and popular culture in general, having a wide cast of characters with rich personalities and making reference to some social issues, having representation of minorities such as the LGBTQ+ community.
Something that remains for this program is that it simmers, since it was broadcast almost simu…

This review contains some minimal spoilers
There are two redeeming qualities to this season: Usagi and the ending.
Usagi, as always, is an awesome main character. Her kindness and empathy always brings the show a lot of joy and endearment. The ending is devastating and huge, and at the same time uplifting like the season 1 finale.
The reason I don’t like Sailor Stars is because it abandons any sort of character development for the Inner Senshi to focus on the Sailor Starlights. The girls really took the backburner in comparison to the starlights.
The show didn’t give me any reason to care about the starlights. They simply showed up and became protagonists. Compare this to the introduction of the Outer Senshi, which was a slower burn, slowly giving the audience a reason to be invested…

Though weaker than the first three seasons, this was significantly better than SuperS, and a fine close to the series as a whole.
The main weakness was that mid-section, while decent, was not particularly good. It had the same problem as the majority of SuperS, in that much too many episodes in that stretch could be summed up as "slice of life for 10-15 minutes, then monster battle", which I didn't really like. Though only a few of those episodes were bad, as the show's humor remained a strong point and was enough to at least partially salvage many of those.
However, the season started and ended on strong notes. The Queen Nehellenia arc was great from start to finish, being intense and exciting throughout, with the cool animation expected from the show's more dramatic episodes. As well,…

This is it, time for my 500th anime review. That's right. We aren't counting the manga, game, live action, comic, book or Western animated reviews. In keeping with the usual pattern, it's time to look at the next instalment of the Sailor Moon franchise, Sailor Moon Stars. In the name of the moon, I will critique you.
Story:
We open with things on a pretty high note. Nehellenia's been defeated. Mamoru's been accepted into an American University back when that meant something and ChibiUsa is heading back home. Things go south when a strange voice rouses Nehellenia from her sealed status and she returns seeking revenge against Usagi. They defeat the revived Queen and both Mamoru and ChibiUsa go off their separate ways when a new enemy appears. There's just one thing different, these enemies…

I watched every season of Sailor Moon over a 2 month period earlier this year. I had previously been exposed to the first season (about 4 years ago), but dropped it when I grew tired of the repetitive format. Since then, I have watched quite a good deal of anime and it felt like the right time to give this series another shake. As it drew to a close, I felt compelled to comment on the final season of this pivotal show and hopefully give some info for future viewers. In this review, I will only focus on the Sailor Stars season and try to avoid too much discussion of the previous portions, however comparisons to earlier seasons will be necessary as this season serves as a pseudo reboot.
Story:
The story of Sailor Stars is very strong, but a little convoluted at times. Main characters from…

Since Super S was so disappointing to me (Because they mainly focused on Chibiusa, Helios and Mamoru and the episodes were pretty boring in that season aswell) i was scared that Sailor Moon: Sailor Stars would also be just or even more disappointing but OMG I LOVED THIS SEASON SO MUCH!! IT WAS SO AMAZING! there are so many reasons why this season is my favourite season in Sailor Moon or maybe even in all of anime! (btw im not counting the first 6 episodes becuz they didn't have much to do with the season honestly)
Story: 9
the story was really fun and entertaining! it was fun to watch the fillers because they can make you smile and laugh unlike super s. I don't want to spoil the fun of watching each episode and focusing on the story so i wont say the story since it would be basically spo…

This is the fifth season of Sailor Moon, I loved it, everything about it.
The bad. There were a few things that would make it better, such as having that first arc in this maybe come closer to the end. So instead of having that villain fresh in our minds from the last arc, they can bring her back as a trump card by Galaxia, as she was definitely more powerful than any of her other minions in this season, I still like the arc, actually it was one of my favorite arcs in the whole anime, and it probably would have been better as a seven episode OVA. And they treated having these corrupt Sailor Senshi as just being a small thing, having them be the monster of the day. Where as it made sense in the other seasons, it doesn't really make sense here as they would have to have come from another pl…

Sailor Stars is in my opinion the best of all the Sailor Moon series and probably my favourite anime series ever, having watched these dvds over and over!
The first arc is a continuation of Super S bringing in the outer senshi and Chibi Moon briefly which many see as filler, but when you reach the ending and you hadn't seen Super S the first arc is necessary to understand the 'awakening of saturn' part. Once this is over you say goodbye to Chibiusa (thank god!) and start the main plot.
It introduces new Senshi in the form of a boyband in disguise to find their missing princess. Many people are not fans of the interchange from male to female part of the Starlights but i find it interesting and something that makes it work. It always annoys me how characters can never tell who's who when t…

Sailor Moon is the anime of my childhood.. I remember when it was being broadcast on TV, I'd have cried when I had missed even one episode. I even memorized the important episodes ^^ Even today, I would go back and watch those episodes sometimes..
And this last season was the best one (I missed Mamoru-chan but.. ^^).. We saw friendship, love, longing, and also determination and faith.. of course with the sufficient amount of humour ^^ It has everything in it, and it is an anime that I'd show my children..
Everybody should watch this classic, imo. The storyline, the characters, fight scenes.. all of them were 10/10 for me ^^
(Should I begin watching it again?? ^^)

If your in the mood for some more Sailor Moon adventures, I would highly suggest you watch this last season of the wonderful, romantic, comedy of Sailor Moon.
First of all, let me tell you, I can agree on why Sailor Moon Sailor Stars wasn't licensed for the american dub version. If you watch this series, you will find out why. But enough with that matter, let me tell you what I thought of this amazing season of Sailor Moon.
-Story-
I personally thought the story deserved higher that a 6, at that matter. The story was actually well thought out and planned detail to detail. Naoko Takeuchi had really improved since SuperS. I mean, how the new characters incorperated right into the story perfectly. The Starlights added a new sense of different careers in the story and how Seiya tried his/her…

Despite being considered by some fans and even Naoko herself as the most far-fetched from the manga plotline. This is considered one of the most loved and favorited of the seasons of SM along with the much loved classic first season.
NEW Scouts-
There's plenty of new scouts from other galaxies and others leaded by their own princess. It also features a cool idol group as some of the season's new characters.
Last season-
This season was the last season of Sailor Moon and it was never dubbed in English during it's original release. This season may be still new news to some fans who just watched and were familiar with the original English dub.
Break from Mini Moon-
And of course we get a break from Mini Moon. Even though she is still an important character in it's first episodes, she doe…
