Is it a 'must watch" anime?
Sailor Moon
Hunter Russell
Cameron Phillips
No
Cooper Ortiz
yes
Especially if you like Ikuni
Jack Scott
Maybe
Grayson Sanchez
I started it a week ago. I can see how influential it is, and I guess that means you should at least take a look, but you have to be in a fairly lighthearted/brainless mood. I'm quite enjoying it (currently on E8; Mercury just showed up).
Tyler Jenkins
Yes, usagi best girl, mars a SHIT, Venus a SHIT
John Garcia
Yes but only in the 90s dub
Andrew Carter
Unironically this.
Landon Foster
yeah.
it's pretty good.
Aaron Green
>yes
>no
The rabbis have spoken.
John Miller
It's the best magical girl school romance comedy slice of life horror ecchi cute girls doing cute things show that exists. It's definitely mandatory.
Brody Davis
based
Josiah Lopez
I would say watch urusei yatsura along with sailor moon. Sailor moon’s animated palette was definitely influenced from the urusei anime. All in all it’s a cute shoujo anime.
Eli Taylor
Jace Nguyen
This anime is for little girls. Are you one of them?
Gavin Green
Sub is unironically better
Anthony Rivera
It's pretty dated by todays standards.
Lots of filler episodes and what was once revolutionary has become cliche now.
It's worth watching if your curious about the magical girl anime that pretty much defined the genre as we know today.
Levi Martin
i had zero issues with the filler until the later seasons.
Ethan Ward
>Sub is unironically better
No, it isn't.

No, it isn't.
>filler
It is all about the "filler". You have to be very superficial not to get that.
Jace Foster
>No, it isn't.
what if this is my first viewing of SM, and i have no nostalgia for the dub?
Adam Torres
Its not a must watch but it is absolutely a better show then it gets credit for. I recently watched Cardcaptor, which is suppose to be some high tier show but I found insufferably boing, while Sailormoon was a consistently fun time, every time.
Leo Williams
i think sailor moon has an advantage of being split up into 5 seasons. you can watch one of them and take a break without issues, whereas CCS is like 70 episodes straight.
doesn't help that the first half of CCS is collecting the cards, and the second is just converting them into the star cards.
Hunter Scott
The sub. You can’t even watch the old dub versions without tons of censorship and they never dubbed the later seasons. There isa newly recorded dub but it’s the worst of both worlds lacked the charm of the old dub and the energy of the original jp dub.
Jackson Hernandez
No. It is too long. Only go into it if you are really curious about it.
Gabriel Morales
The fillers are pretty amusing and help to flesh out the characters.
But watching many in a row can be pretty tiresome.
The show was made to watch on weekly basis but I remember growing impatient after a while.
Anyway, filler has a purpose but nowadays you don't see such a long running shows anymore with lot's of filler episodes to pad things out.
Instead shows are released as one or two cour seasons with almost no filler or anime original content.
So if you're used to that, watching an old show like sailor moon might be pretty frustrating to watch were multiple episodes in a row follow the exact same formula with almost no progression to the main plot.
Noah Price
>what if this is my first viewing of SM, and i have no nostalgia for the dub?
Don't get me wrong: The dub is pure shit.
But the subtitles available are shit as well.
Yes, watch the original with subs. But the subs themselves are just as bad as the dubs.
Henry Peterson
>It is too long.
What's the problem with something being long?
Benjamin Johnson
Is it just me or does the animation suddenly get better at the and after the tennis episode?
Lucas Wright
if you break it down into the separate seasons, it drops to 35-45 eps per seasons. easily doable.
Luis Clark
Is KotenGars still the go to version of this? I mean the encodes look great but the font style is a pile of puke and I can override it.
Michael Roberts
Yea. Watch it or Mercury's gonna beat you up
Kevin Cook
David Torres
>Is KotenGars still the go to version of this?
Yes. Best video and best audio. The subtitles don't matter.
Dominic Stewart
Who's your favorite sailor?
Owen Torres
>favorite sailor?
Justin Gray
Mercury is the smartest
Lucas Ortiz
you don't even have to do that, just set a simple watching schedule for yourself. I've always been bad about working through my backlog but when I finally tackled Sailor Moon last year I told myself I'd watch one episode after getting out of bed and one before getting back in and if you do that every day you can finish it in about three and a half months. It was a pretty good habit to build too since I've managed to stick to it since then and worked through a lot of stuff I know I'd never have even started at this point otherwise.
Joseph Bell
That's how I watched it the 90's, and that's how I like it now.
Lucas Ross
I wish
Carter Fisher
Daily reminder that mars is a mean bully
Kayden Jones
She deserved it.
Christopher Baker
Name 1 thing she ever did to deserve it?
Luke Green

Owen Young
Only seasons 1 and 3 are "must watch."
Isaiah Green
Nathaniel Ross
It'd be stupid to omit season 2 inbetween. And once you're over the halfway point, you might as well watch the rest. All of it is definitely worth it.
Wyatt Taylor
Not really. Season 2 is skippable. Except for the R movie, which is essential.
Chase Howard
Bullshit. R introduces the concept of future Crystal Tokyo and the character of Chibi-Usa that returns in S. For those two things alone it's not recommended to skip it.
The feature film, on the other hand, is not relevant in the context of the series and can easily be skipped and viewed later on on its own.
Adrian Thomas
