Why were some changes to the 90s anime made?

Sailor Galaxia was originally planned by Takeuchi to be like Bakura of Yugi Oh or Ryou of Devilman because she was planned to be Sailor Chaos.

That would have been kick ass if she was like bakura or ryou. I do like manga galaxia quite a bit still, but that would have been awesome. Maybe they will implement this idea in crystal since it is a nako idea. Obviously she would have even a higher body count than bakura even if they all get revived.

But with that backstory, we would have likely ended up with Galaxia being sealed by Usagi and returning in the future as her foe just like Devilman/Violence Jack and the Manga Galaxia that we have is more original and is the inspiration for Homura.

Oh so they would have done what dragonball z did with garlic jr and sealed him away instead. Mind you this is anime exclusive in that. Not heard anything about violence jack but I am shocked homura was based on manga galaxia, mind you I have not see madoka yet, my brother has and loves it. So maybe I have not seen why yet.

I think that Takahashi inspired Sailor Moon past story and the crystals for Yugi's past story and the millennium Items in Duel Monsters (Both looks similar, Both Usagi and Yugi used to be a ruler of a kingdom and both have millennium items (millennium crystals; 7 millennium items in yugioh) and even when transformed I feel Sailor Moon is a millennium spirit sleeping in a brooch instead of an ordinary transformation shiet like precure

The Materials Collection Galaxia is like Ryo(Devilman), Garlic, Baby, Yami Bakura, and Cell of DBZ but Bakura has a better backstory, Bakura and Picollo are more similar..

Sailor Chaos of the manga is like Cell, Baby, and Garlic.

Wow so not only ryo, but garlic, baby from gt, Yano bakura and then Cell who was vicious in the way he killed people from entire towns. I agree bakura had a way better backstory than the rest of those villains, including cell. They have a reason why he does what he does besides he is just evil.

Yeah bakura does seem more like piccolo than anything, epically king piccolo.

Sailor Chaos of the manga seems like garlic in that it seems unkillable and baby controlled people but not as vicious as galaxia what she did to the sailor guardians having killed them then forced them to fight usagi to the death.

I wonder if she had been sailor chaos if the deaths of the guardians had more vicious than the ones in stars. That is because while cell never did it to major characters, when he killed people at first it was brutal.
Seems like Nakeo likes shock value.

I think you guys are just overreading things, seing parallels/inspirations/references between different works that are absolutely non existent. It's just standard character tropes that can be found in japanese anime.

You have a point, however we do it because it is fun as heck. I mean sailor moon is a lot like dragonball z, the main characters die and come back to life though not as much as dragon ball.

However there are many differences to.

Lol random similarities always happens in Anime. I mean similar doesn't really mean inspired (For example you'll know how pissed some toxic DBZ fans if someone says Goku is inspired by Superman cuz both having quite same origin story, but some people says Goku is inspired by Supes cuz Toriyama created Superman in Dr Slump (dont know is it really true or not). Oh yes SM has some similar with something in DC in Manga especially sent to earth after original planet was destroyed like Supes (but it's more like a past story not like current story), manga she even wearing blue skirt red boots can talk to hologram mother like jor-el and even wear a cape (sorry I also don't know much about DC but that's I got in the Internet))

One is Shonen one is Shojo but feels like Seinen because the Manga has tons of dark thing, betrayal,... and both SM Anime adaptions are quite fail (That's how Seinen manga works,most of seinen manga don't have Anime yet or they have unsuccessful Anime adaptions but when they really hit they hit like a boss, same to SM because author disliked 90s Anime and wanted to create Crystal but crystal also a fail, like Berserk Anime 1st adaption is good but not successful 2nd adaption is terrible, and Seinen sales is usually lower than Shonen, you can check it out: List of best-selling manga - Wikipedia)

Both have insanely powerful character (but only SM Manga, except SM feats are universal first,DBZ later when introducing BOG, anyway one of the first ever hax verse I've seen is Saint Seiya, and SM seems like Saint Seiya cuz haxing, Anime literally nerfed characters in SM so power debating using anime is useless)

Base Sailor Moon is quite like SSJ2 and SSJ3 because Base SM with all feats can beat most of the Shonen verses like One Piece, naruto, bleach
Super Sailor Moon is stronger than SSJ3 and on par maybe with SSG
Eternal SM is of course SSG and may on par with UI
Sailor cosmos is quite similar to Whis, Zeno, Beerus.



I also found this: [Theory] Is Homura Akemi like Jaden Yuki? : MadokaMagica (reddit.com)

Naoko had issues with the R movie and the Starlights arc, she was okay with the rest.

This is why I want a remake of Dream and Stars only and a Kai of the first three seasons.

Very true , i think the similarities are very random. Yeah you were only making a comparison, you never said one anime or another inspired sailor moon.

Honestly I don’t know why dbz fans get pissed odd about the comparison to Superman because he is a lot like Superman in many ways. Not saying he is inspired either, nor the dr slump character but the comparison is a good one.

Yeah there are major differences between shonen and shojo are massive. The sailor moon manga is quite a bit darker, the specter sisters dying in the manga is a big difference and they stay dead.

Of course stars death’s are brutal for what are considered main characters, very horror movie like. Even though they are all restored to life, what happens is so dark. The mental torture to Usagi is beyond cruel. Someone did that to my lover and friends, then mentor in luna and artimis, I would have let her die or broke her bracelets. Usagi may be one of the mentally strongest characters in all of anime.

I have heard that Nakeo disliked a lot about the sailor moon 90’s show myself but I think it is overstated for how much she did. I think she hated pets of it and liked parts of it, from the interviews.

The 90’s anime had it’s issues though and could have been bigger and grander than what it was but glad it got made. It got more people to read the manga here in America to. I feel like they should have not done monster of the week, to me that is the anime’s biggest weakness. I mean most of them sounded like Pokémon. Also mamarou after he get ms his memories back is handled badly. I also hear the outers are not in the dream arc of the anime unlike the manga. To me that is dumb, Uranus and Neptune are awesome, Pluto is good so far and have heard a lot about Saturn.

Their strongest is closing arcs and making death’s even temporary ones mean something, well so far where I am at. Also the character development of the other guardians besides moon is great, even Pluto who has not done much where I am was still greet. I loved they left the sisters alive and become good and sapphire was great. They did well with Nephrite, Zoisite and Kunzite as well. I enjoy it and will watch it again as well after the run through. The r movie is good to. Going to watch s and super s movies.

Now I have not seen crystal but hear it is bad at first but gets better. I love Jupiter’s design and had issues with Venus early design but she looks she gets drawn better later on. I think the art in the 90’s is better both anime and manga. Also they changed the look of Ms Haurna and Usagi’s mom. Still going to watch crystal before I judge it.

Sailor moon I hear get insanely powerful myself like Goku, epically when she becomes eternal. Super sayin 3 level does make sense to me at that point.

I am not shocked they nerf the other characters McIntyre it sounds like they do it earlier in the anime than in the manga.

I have no doubt she could beet Naruto, bleach and one piece characters. It would make sense for her to be stronger than ss3 and be on the level of SSG and on Beria and whiz’s level as cosmos. That is her ultimate form.

Yeah that would not work.There we're so many differences they just needed to adapt the first three arcs.

Indeed.

Generally toxic power scalers. The "Goku vs Superman" has been going for ages.
Goku vs. Superman | Know Your Meme

This makes Sailor Moon even like Seinen mixed with Josei introducing power scaling honestly. It's posted on a magazine for young girls doesn't really mean it for young girls, for example some Manga doesn't feel like for young boys like Death Note AOT Chainsaw Man is posted in a magazine for young boys.

She is already strong in arc1, she's basically FTL, can destroy area of spaces, transmute, sealing people, even crying can break a dimension. Base Manga SM is like SSJ3 because she's basically Solar Buster in base form. Manga Death Phantom is like Majin Buu cuz he's nuking solar system, using haxes.Eternal form is like an SSG or maybe UI not SSJ. So it clears even base form can beat most of Shonen verses like Naruto, Bleach

Yes, that "monster of the week" formula gets repetitive after a while. By the fourth season, it got really stale.

Filler, the 90s is full of fillers, yes it even has more filler than original Naruto Anime (200 eps with almost 100 fillers).
Crystal is generally Toei betrays Takeuchi. Again, blame Toei not Takeuchi.

At least they changed the main villain every season. Shows like Inuyasha had them chasing Naraku the entire anime. Besides, some of the most popular, well-known or widespread anime tend to be repetitive. It might not be enjoyable to all, but it still became successful to allow reboots and sequels (for Inuyasha) to commence.

I wonder if they wrote 90’s Sailor Moon as a tokusatsu just without it being live-action. It has the Monster of the week formula that many tokusatsus have. It could have inspired them to do PGSM with the way it was set up.
