This isn't even a little bit true. Shoujo and Josei exist for a reason. And of course there's a lot of LGBT manga and anime.
Not all anime is shonen for [BLEEP]'s sake
Crystal is a horrible example because its problems were 1. Ugly and cheap animation 2. The few changes it made to the manga were awful. It's faster pacing was never a problem
A lot of anime is only 13 episodes or less. Zero reason to think it would have been TV Asahi's "worst rated anime"

The SuperS movie has some good things going for it; the animation is nice, it kind of distills the SuperS season into a 60 minute movie, Usagi isn't turned into a childish simpleton to make Chibi usa look good, it was nice seeing the Outers, and I liked that they went with another European fairy...
Usagi- Mamoru leaving her
Ami- Having no friends
Rei- Being unable to prevent a horrifying premonition
Mako- Being unaccepted by society
Minako- Failing in her duties as leader of the Sailor Soldiers
