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.

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 School. At the same time, a new group of villains appear and so do a new group of Senshi called the Sailor Starlights. The story is decent and a good way to wrap up this anime. 7/10

Art - Sailor Moon's art is always beautiful so this automatically gets a 10/10

Sound - They changed the opening for this one. While I missed Moonlight Densetsu, I really liked the new opening. The sound is also good. 8/10

Characters - Three new characters are introduced. Seiya who's Sailor Star Fighter, Yaten who's Sailor Star Healer, and Taiki who's Sailor Star Maker. I did not like these characters. They were okay when they didn't know the identities of the Senshi. But once they found out they could be unnecessarily mean, even going so far as to BLAME USAGI FOR SEIYA GETTING INJURED. They get some character development and then in the next episode, they're back to being their mean selves. They don't fully change until the last few episodes. As for Seiya and Usagi's romance, I'm not a fan of that either. No matter how many times Usagi told Seiya she wasn't interested, they kept pursuing her. Even leading up to that "Am I not good enough" scene.
The Outers return in this season. And I have to rant about how dirty they were done. Saturn and Pluto didn't get enough spotlight, as for Uranus and Neptune, need I mention their "plan" to betray Satrun and Pluto and pretend to work for Galaxia only to turn on her?
As for the villains, Galaxia was a terrifying villain. She could kill the Senshi with such ease and she won't hesitate in killing her minions if they fail her too many times. Also her uncorrupted form is just beautiful.
The Sailor Animamates were fun to watch. 6/10

Enjoyment - Despite its flaws I gotta say I enjoyed this season. There was the whole atmosphere of it being the last season of this anime. And the final episodes were so intense. 7/10

Overall - It was a pretty good way to end this classic anime. 6/10
