Story:
The story of Sailor Stars is very strong, but a little convoluted at times. Main characters from previous seasons are entirely absent for much of this season, a factor which heavily influences the story and narrative surrounding the main character, Usagi. Episodes flow nicely from one to the next, and the focus on telling a long story is very clear compared to previous seasons. In a sentai show like this filler episodes are expected; but this season really works hard to not waste your time with any episode, filling nearly each with some plot developments.
Art:
The art and animation is good (especially compared to prior seasons), but nothing to write home about. It's still pretty basic, even compared to it's contemporaries. Character design is cute as always and the girls look very expressive.
Sound:
The OP may be the greatest OP of all time. The soundtrack is otherwise great, even the weird Star Light's songs. If you enjoy jazzy background music and rock-esque battle songs then it's a slam dunk. The last episode has a callback in the ED, that will be sure to moisten even the driest of eyes.
Character:
Interactions between the girls and the new Star Lights are the highlight of the show. The characters experience a great deal of growth and there are some of the best senshi-focused episodes that this series has seen.
Enjoyment:
I loved it. It made me laugh and cry multiple times and the ending has me reeling even months after watching it.
Overall:
This is definitely the best entry in the whole series, and provides a fitting ending to a great show.
