- Stars arc is the manga's best arc and is what elevated the manga from simply being "good" into what I consider to be a deconstructive masterpiece.
- The characterization in the manga isn't as bad as it's detractors say, in fact in some respects I would say it's a lot more deeper and nuanced than the 90's anime at times. You just don't get to see it that often because the manga is too short and the pacing is too fast, but being scarce doesn't automatically equal being bad, what is there is frequently miles ahead of the anime.
- Manga!Galaxia isn't just one of the best Sailor Moon villains, but one of the best fictional villains of all time.
- SuperS is better than Stars in the anime, yeah I said it.
- PGSM is the best interpretation of the Dark Kingdom arc, with Crystal being the worst
- The Doom Tree/Makaiju arc was good and despite being filler had a better plot than both SuperS and Stars.
- Ami and Mako are boring characters overall, (except in PGSM) Rei and Mina are the best thing about the Inners and this is why the Outers as a team will always be superior on the whole
- However Manga and PGSM Minako are both much better characters than 90's anime Minako, 90's anime Minako in the first 2 seasons was a block of wood
- While the aging up of Mamoru was a stupid decision in the 90's anime, his age gap with Usagi really isn't that bad.
- The entire Sen/Shi concept besides Venus/Kunzite is stupid.
- Chibi-Usa isn't that bad, yes even in the 90's anime.
- As much as their chemistry was good Seiya was kind of a "nice guy" creep in the 90's anime.
- The VIZ dub isn't amazing, but it's not irredeemable garbage like some in the fandom would have you believe either.
- Tigers Eye and Hawk's Eye didn't deserve their redemption, they were both PUA creeps and never did the actual hard emotional work for redemption like Fish did.
- Outside of Lead Crow and Aluminum Siren, Stars anime has the weakest villains in the series.
- I like all versions of Rei equally (Except Crystal!Rei, she's barely even a character)
- I like SM as is, but I still say it would've been more interesting if Naoko went with her original concept of Minako as the main character and having the story told through her eyes with Usagi just being the Princess she's sworn to protect, Minako is a much more interesting character than Usagi imho.
