SynopsisThe season is divided into two arcs: One arc being an anime filler (to give Takeuchi Naoko time to make the next manga), and the other arc being the actual Black Moon plot.
The first arc shows Usagi and Co. having their memories restored from the first season. Their enemies are a pair of aliens, Ail and Ann, who are seeking human energy to restore their life tree. Mamoru had yet to recover his memories and he appeared as the Moonlight Knight rather than Tuxedo Kamen. This arc only lasted for 12 episodes.
The second arc introduces Chibi-usa, a little girl from the future who is finding the Ginzuishou. The new enemies are the Black Moon clan, comprising of the Ayakashi sisters (Cooan, Beruche, Karaberas, and Petz), Rubeus, Safir, Esmeraude, Prince Demando, and Wiseman. They too want the Ginzuishou so that they can take over the future. The Sailor Senshi's adventure continues... |

After watching the original series for the first time in many years, I was very excited to start this series. Sailor Moon R proved itself to be a great continuation of the storyline. While it perhaps isn’t as strong as the original in whole, in parts it surpasses it.
Story wise, Sailor Moon R is broken up into two story arcs. The first is filler not related to the source material, and the second is the Black Moon arc which was very good. The first arc isn’t bad but well you can tell its filler. The sailor warriors recover their memories lost after the conclusion of the first season and gain new abilities. I think one of the things that make this storyline feel insignificant later on is that these new abilities are never used again later on.
The Black Moon arc though is where the series really gets interesting. We are immediately introduced to a new character, Chibi Usa who forces herself into Usagi's life. The story takes a darker tone than the previous season and the romance between Usagi and Mamoru is severely tested. I thought the villains were also very well written as they had much more complexity. This is not to say that it was perfect, there were some annoyances. Chibi Usa gets particularly irritating after a while. Much like season one, the action is a weak point. It’s boring and formulaic and not that interesting. Each episode the Sailors fight a new "droid" which have different powers, but are pretty much defeated in the same manner every time.
We get to see a lot more character growth out of all the girls. Each girl has at least two or three episodes devoted to them which was nice to see. Usagi continues to grow as a character and I found myself sharing her tears on occasion as she goes through rough times with Mamoru. Chibi Usa or Small Lady, I had a love hate relationship with. She did get on my nerves quite a bit and I found her to be very selfish and spoiled. I also got very annoyed with the constant fighting between her and Usagi. Much like I did in season 1 with Rei. She does change quite a lot by the end of the story, which was good to see. A lot of the supporting cast is noticeably absent from this season. Usagi's family rarely appears as well as other favorites such as Motoki and even Naru and Umino.
The animation felt like it was a little better compared to the first series. Perhaps I was watching a better copy or I had just gotten used to it. It’s still very dated looking though. The music is pretty much the same as well. The voice acting is strong all around.
Overall, if you enjoyed the first season of Sailor Moon then you are going to want to watch this as well. It is not quite as strong as its predecessor but it is still a rewarding experience. I recommend it highly.

To tell the truth, this wasn't my favorite season of Sailor Moon- I have mixed feelings about it... shows in my scores. I consider it the worst but most important. It was the season that brought back Sailor Moon, and was connected to the rest of the seasons in a special way because of that. That's why I give it 7 overall, otherwise, it would of been a 5.
Story was pretty good. I like how there was a huge cliff hanger on the first season. And I also like the build up on the first arc-But it was a "filler". The story introduced a mass of new characters and scenery. They explained things in greater detail, for that, I give it a 9.
Art was a joke. This is the only reason why I think this season was the worst. I think the creators could of done a bit better. I mean, this was made during the mid 90s, even Fushigi Yuugi was better. The art of Sailor Moon R was really meek and... disgusting to see on screen. 5.
Sound was the same as the first season. They just added a bit more to it. Theres not much to say about it but "Blunt". That's why I gave it a 6.
Character, the characters in the series were either new or old. As I said before, they introduced a lot of new characters such as (SPOILER!!)Chibiusa, Sailor Pluto, etc. I liked the unique personalities of the 5 senshi in the first season and many other characters, so I give it a 8.
Enjoyment is pretty medium. I mean, you get to have a repeat of gathering the 4 senshi and 2 parts of the season, a new villian, and so much more. I give it a 7 because the art was of low quality but the story and characters were at a all time high.
Overall, the art was bad... super bad, but the rest is fresh and new. It's good for any shojo fans and for children to enjoy. I think many people will enjoy it. read more

both are about magic girls, shoujo anime.
They both have magical girls with awesome transformations. Aside from that, they also have similar plots that are very different at the same time. And the characters are all enjoyable.
