    Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
    Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
    Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
    Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
    filmfan1991 "Bishōjo Senshi Sērā Mūn" otherwise known as "Sailor Moon" was one of the first anime that I ever watched as a kid that got me hooked on to anime. But of course like most other people of my generation I watched the localized English dub that removed all the references to Japanese culture, sexuality, violent content and scenes that I don't even think needed to be removed in the first place but if it wasn't for the English dub I would have never discovered the original uncut Japanese version years later which in my opinion is much better.Anyone who is an anime fan should know the story of "Sailor Moon". A young ordinary yet ditsy Japanese schoolgirl named Usagi (Rabbit or Bunny when translated) one day discovers that she is the guardian of love and justice named Sailor Moon and that she must find the princess of the Silver Millennium Kingdom of the Moon and protect the Earth from evil forces that wish to take it over or destroy it. Along the way she forms new friendships and alliances with new Sailor Senshi (Sailor Soldier when translated) named after the inner and outer planets of our solar system and a mysterious figure called Tuxedo Kamen (Tuxedo Mask when translated.) Sounds very cliché and formulaic when you think about it but at the time this was very groundbreaking for anime because it was a merging of Magical Girl and Superhero genres.The first season of "Sailor Moon" is still very great and entertaining to this very day because it introduces our main characters who are very likable and have unique personalities and villains who are very nasty. Basically this show has something for everyone and not just for the target demographic which is one of the reasons I love this show. Its got action, comedy, coming of age and romance. The music is very good especially the iconic "Moonlight Densetsu" from the opening credits. The animation is dated but I enjoy it anyways because I grew up with this kind of animation. This is a great show to just sit back, enjoy and I highly recommend the original Japanese version since it is uncut and has more natural voice acting.
    kardykush I have recently got into this,I can't believe I've never seen it before,considering all of my friends remember it from childhood.Kinda confusing. Anyway.Sailor Moon focuses on the life of Tsukino Usagi,a crybaby of a 14 year old and extremely clumsy,from the Juuban area of Tokyo. In the first episode,she's introduce to her magical powers and her identity-"Sailor Moon" by our lovely talking cat from the Moon,Luna. Later as the show develops,she meets her fellow Senshi(meaning warriors),Sailor Mercury(Muzino Ami)the Hermione of the show,Sailor Mars(Hino Rei)a short tempered,smart and hilarious Miko(a Shinto priestess),Sailor Jupiter(Kino Makoto)a rather two dimensional tomboy-one side boy crazy and a great house-keeper,other side the physically most powerful Senshi and was expelled from her old school because of a fight(she's rather Buffy-ish),Sailor Venus(Aino Minako)a kind hearted girl who was aware of her identity long before she met Usagi,with the help of the other Moon Cat-Artemis. During the first arc of the series,Sailor Moon Classic,they fight against the Dark Kingdom,Queen Metalia,Queen Beryl and their minions,later discovering that they are the reincarnations of the four Sailor Senshi from the Moon Kingdom,in the pre-historic Silver Millennium(Usagi being the princess they are responsible for,Serenity) They are four more seasons of Sailor Moon,SM R,SM S,SM SuperS and Sailorstars.But I'm still in the middle of the SM R,so don't go hard on me for possible mistakes;) Sailor Moon is something to see in your lifetime.It's an exceptional masterpiece-which must be seen in Japanese with subtitles,I saw some English dubs,it was horrible.Horrible. I'm now at the beginning of the S series and I must say Uranus and Neptune are just spectacular and a great fun to watch,especially Usagi's reactions about them. But I have one ultimate question which is never answered-How do they change back?
    Timothy McKann When I first watched this chapter of Sailor Moon on Cartoon Network,I gotta say that this chapter is the best one I've ever seen. I wasn't get anywhere after getting the first volume on VHS, I really wanted to see more, and I did. But when I got the first 2 volumes on DVD it was a whole lot better. It had more episodes than VHS. My favorite scouts in this chapter are:Moon,Jupiter,and the new Scouts:Neptune,Uranus, and my greatest favorite Sailor Pluto. It was cool to see her use her powerful attack"The Deadly Scream. I know it was never used in the last chapter of Sailor Moon, and she never joined Sailor Moon and the other scouts. I think my favorite villain is Mimete,and boy her outfit is wicked. It's pretty strange she only target's boys and yes she is boy crazy. Another thing that I liked is the episode about Telulu and the mysterious plants. I think that episode looks like the Flower Shop from "Little Shop Of Horros",and her Venus heart trap is like the monstrous plant from the story. I am glad that this chapter got to be on Television. So in closing,after this Chapter. Watch the Movie "Hearts In Ice", and catch Super S. You will see what I mean.
    bunny_tsukino the original sailor moon series from Japan is made up of five seasons (sailor moon, sailor moon R, sailor moon S, sailor moon super S and sailor moon stars), 3 movies, and a few specials. the main characters are the sailor soldiers (sailor soldiers, not scouts) starting with sailor moon and what are known as the inner soldiers, sailor mercury, mars, Jupiter and Venus. for the first 2 seasons they fight bad guys in a pretty formulaic way. master villain's henchman sends out a minor bad guy. the soldiers fight it, sailor moon gives it her final powerful blow and its defeated. henchman is yelled at by the master villain and then the same thing happens again. in those episodes fighting the villain is not generally the most important part, what you really watch is how the girls are doing at school, in love, and general life, which is pretty entertaining on its on. usually for the last 5 or so episodes it gets a little different and focuses on defeating the now super powerful villain. in the first season we learn sailor moon is actually a reincarnated princess from the moon and defeats the villain. in sailor moon R she learns in the future she rules the world in a time of peace and her and tuxedo mask have a daughter (little Serena) and they defeat the bad guys once again. in sailor moon S, the third season, things change dramatically. we learn of 4 new soldiers. sailor Uranus and Neptune (who are also lovers), sailor Pluto (we met briefly in sailor moon R) and sailor Saturn, who's power is that she can destroy the world. the first three, Uranus Neptune and Pluto fight to keep sailor Saturn from appearing, while trying to keep the inner soldiers from getting in the way. mid season sailor moon develops the power to become super sailor moon. fortunately at the end the new soldiers learn that sailor moon is indeed the most powerful and pure soldiers, and that she is reliable, and is the true messiah. the girl houses the spirit of sailor Saturn is reborn as a baby, and sailor Pluto has disappeared due to using her taboo power, the time stop. it then moves on the sailor moon Super S, which is widely regarded as the worst of all the seasons. its a little more childish than the other seasons, and focuses on *little Serena* (bah on English names). sailors Uranus and Neptune don't appear, save a special that aired. the season has some of the better animation, although the story line is sub par in general. the final episode saves the season though, with a beautiful scene of self sacrifice on sailor moon's part season five, sailor moon stars, begins with the reappearance of super S's bad guy, but she is returned to goodness and for a short while things are good. this season is widely regarded as the best of them all, and it contains some of the funniest episodes, as well as the most gut wrenchingly sad ones. sailor moon and her friends are now high school students, studying at a school where the members of the idol group, the three lights, have just transferred. the leader of the three lights develops a slight crush on sailor moon, but she does not return his affection, because she has tuxedo mask. Tuxedo mask has left to study at Harvard though, so sailor moon does feel quite alone a lot of the time, and you feel alone with her. she finds companionship in a new little girl, who is quite mysterious despite being barley 2 years old or so. three new soldiers have appeared, the sailor star lights. they, like the outer soldiers in sailor moon S, find that earth's soldiers are just getting in the way. the big kicker is that the bad guys in this season are sailor soldiers themselves, lead by the uber evil sailor galaxia. at the end of the day everyone but the sailor star lights and sailor moon are killed by galaxia (who as also taken over most of the galaxy). the final episode, episode 200, is the most beautiful of all the episodes, by far. sailor moon and galaxia, now sailor chaos, are flying in the air, both with huge swords. Chaos is ordering sailor moon to fight, but she refuses, believing that there is another way and that she doesn't want anyone else to die. sailor moon is able to sense that chaos still has a little bit of the good galaxia inside of her and reaches out to her to free her. in the end, sailor moon saves everyone, and everyone comes back to life, to live on and fight another day. Pretty soldier sailor moon is a pioneer of the magical girl genre, which is followed by works by Clamp, like card-captors and magic knights, and others like Tokyo mew mew. unfortunately the north American English dub has ruined the show for many, as it is truly awful. the Japanese is highly recommended to all anime fans. it will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and it will leave you feeling with an amazing feeling about the world you live in
