From what I understand, Chibiusa is way more popular in Japan than she is elsewhere, which would explain why SuperS is pretty well-liked by them. I personally like her a lot in the manga, but not that much in the anime.

My biggest problem with SuperS is how much it deviates from the manga story. Actually, that’s my biggest problem with the original anime in its entirety.

I forgot to add that Dream Mirrors being the mind would totally make sense as far as their being animals go, because while animals may dream, they’re not self-aware like humans are (at least not as far as hawks, tigers and fish go), which is something that requires a sentient mind.

I always theorized that Pure Heart crystals were the soul, Dream Mirrors were the mind, and Starseeds were the body, especially if you consider what happens when they’re removed or shown.

Pure Hearts: the victim sort of goes into a zombie-like state. Minako and Unazuki obviously proved that they can move around, but they seem completely soulless.

Dream Mirrors: They’re conscious and cognizant, but dreams are a product of brain activity during sleep, and looking into a Dream Mirror means looking into the victim’s mind.

Starseeds: Their bodies vanish. They just vanish. The Starseed is the only one they can’t exist without because it’s their physical form.

That’s just how I’ve always seen it. I’m sure someone’s going to yell at me that I’m wrong, but I wanted to share anyway.

I completely agree with, when you say that the old anime was superior to the manga or to Crystal concerning some villains’ deaths, and I like your words : “The deaths of the villains are no more touching than the Monster of Days in the old anime.”

Yeah, Saphir’s death was heartbreaking in the old anime… And the way Petz understands that he has just passed away… It still gives me chill when I think of it in the present.

But to me, Nephrite’s death – like thousands of fans in the world I guess – remains the most beautiful, the most tragic of them all… I was not even 10 years old and I had no one to tell my shock, my revolt, my anger and my sorrow… yeah, seems a bit exagerated but it’s completely true. This is how I really felt at that very moment.

Which is one way I must admit it is superior to the manga and Crystal. The deaths of the villains are no more touching than the Monster of Days in the old anime.
Saphir’s death still gets me every time and is still my favorite from the classic series.

SuperS left a lot of loose threads, the Amazon Trio and Quartet were both implied to return one day, but with Stars being the final season and so wrapped up with the Three Lights, they didn’t have a chance to return even in mention.

I remember that the last episode of the Amazon Trio had been really hard and heartbreaking for the kid I was then. I used to like these guys, and even if they finally get a “good ending” by going to Elysion with Pegasus, I had been frustrated because I knew they would never be back in the anime.

The first Sailor Moon anime was very strong into making some villains’ deaths very heartbreaking and tragic… See Nephrite and Zoisite, see Princes Saphir and Diamond, see the Amazon Trio… I remember how the deaths of all these guys had let me helpless. Especially Nephrite’s, Saphir’s and Diamond’s ones. These guys were in fact not simply and absolutely evil. They had benevolent and altruistic feelings hidden deep inside them (yes, I dare to include Zoisite, even if he could only love Kunzite), but it was already too late when they could realized it. Finally, a redemption, but for what, if it’s to die just after ???

Back in those times, Sailor Moon was very powerful into showing how complex were the relationships between human beings. SM was funny and tragic at the same time :”) . This anime learnt me of lot of things about life.

Fish Eye was questioning their mission at the beginning of these episodes, right? Or is that only in the Cloverway dub?

First off, Sailor Moon Super S has shown popularity in Japan and it was a great season and it was campy and kind of cute.
