Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon: Sailor Stars

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 best to be like a 'new' Mamoru for Usagi.

-Art-
The art had pretty much improved since SuperS, in my opinion. The detail and different colors use to express the characters was amazing. I really thought that the design of the new senshi outfits was absolutly genius! Also, I must say, Sailor Moon's Moon Tier was really detailed and perfetly executed the attacks every episode.

-Sound-
The sound in the series really got me into the season more and more. The new opening theme really changed the sense of the series after the same theme song season after season. Change was definetly in order. But I must admit, some of the songs the 3 Lights sang weren't very good in my opinion. I understand they were looking for their princess for a very long period of time but I never got use to the songs they sang.

-Character-
The Starlights intro into the series really up-ed my opinion on the rating of Character. Yet, in the anime, how they were changed into Male to Female really didn't make me happy. I'm sure Naoko diefinetly felt the same way. Anyways, away from that matter, I believe that most of the characters didn't change that much, yet I enjoyed how they comforted Usagi in her hard times.

-Enjoyment-
The enjoyment of the series difinetly deserved a 10/10 in my opinion. The story brought along many happy, sad, romantic, ect., to the series. I think that Naoko did an exceptional job on this season and the manga at that.

-Overall-
Overall, this series deserves a 10/10! The series was outstanding to me and was one of the first anime I watched when I was young. The series always kept me at the edge of my seat and I really enjoyed some humor here and there. If you are in the mood for an amazing series, I highly reccomend this series to any mahou shoujo anime fan out there. The series was excellent to me and I bet any Sailor Moon fan would agree.

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 does get a break and doesn't appear through the second arc of this season. This could be a relief to some fans after SuperS.


Very dramatic-
Yes, this season has plenty of hardships, downfalls, and Sailor Moon will be find herself very heartbroken at times.


Villains are scouts-
Yes! I mentioned there was drama. Not only are there new scouts called the Starlights, the villains themselves are also scouts, which makes it hard to know who to trust.


This is all around a super season and is a must watch for fans. Despite the flaws that Tuxedo Mask is absent from the second arc (but it's for a reason), and the outers appear very little times. It's still it's a great season and you won't be disappointed.

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 in the dynamic characters and their stories. The starlights simply can’t hold up on their own because they’re not fleshed out. They’re too similar. They also come off as entitled and rude.

Galaxia is an awesome and terrifying villain. Her minions, though, are not scary at all and are just sort of annoying.

A side note, if you are a Tuxedo Mask fan like myself, get ready for the most debilitating watching experience. If you were already miffed by the way the other seasons tossed aside the manga’s deuteragonist, buckle up and get ready.
