Yeah, that'd be a painful scene, & some mightn't be able to or easily take it, perhaps due to their own personal experiences, but it's for the enrichment of art & drama in the show.
I guess, but personally I think it's a boring story and a seen concept.
I don't think unrequited love will ever be a boring or seen concept. One reason why Hamlet is still so popular is because it pulls off so many "old" themes very well: death, unrequited love, betrayal, etc. As long as humans fall in love, people will continue to experience unrequited love, which makes it a timeless story. I personally think that unrequited love (and I mean TRUE unrequited love, not just "oh I have a crush on someone who doesn't like me back"...true, passionate, selfless love for someone who simply does not return those feelings) is one of the most tragic things a person can possibly go through. How a person reacts to and deals with his or her unrequited feelings can make or break them; they can either transcend their feelings and become better, remaining "in love" in a higher, more selfless way (think Tomoyo from Cardcaptor Sakura), or they can be forever lost in their feelings of jealousy, anger, and isolation, and terrible things might happen.
Can you tell I have a lot of feelings about this subject?
Anyway, I especially don't think it's a tired concept in Sailor Moon. We've always been shown that Usagi belongs with Mamoru because of destiny. What would it be like if a third wheel was introduced to this precious, destiny-bonded couple? (Yeah, we saw some of that with the Sailor Stars anime...but the Pluto thing feels so much more pure than that).
