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
