We love it as it is, but certain parts are still too childish and naive. What would you change to make it a story, aimed at adults? The overall story and main plot points should remain the same though.

I guess to start off with, maybe delve into Manga BMC’s motivation more and the philosophical debate on the ethics of immortality and playing God rather than just quickly skimming it?
Make Demande state in no uncertain terms that he was planning to rape Usagi rather than just heavily imply it, instead of a kiss have him try to strip her naked.
Imply that Black Lady raped Mamoru as well during the time he was her influence.
Also just go with Naoko’s original vision in general, no Osabu editorial interference, let her just go balls to the wall as dark and graphic as she wants!

More violence and add a masturbation scene here or there. Someone performing fellatio. May be an orgy scene. Also have all of them have some kind of psychological dysfunctionality. Imagine 8 out of 10 of them can rival Asuka Langley, Joan Crawford or Dr. Frank N Furter. #KeepItEntertainingForAdultsOnly
I'm guessing you mean more compelling for adults and not adults only.
I'd start by aging the girls up a few grades and drop the cutesy junior high stuff. Let the characters already be maturing.
Make Usagi and Mamoru closer of age to avoid the usual stuff with that since more adults will be watching.
Do Chibi Usa in R, but never hear from her after that.
Chibi Usa in the manga has some intense, emotional scenes, but overall she's still the annoying kid character. If they keep her around, age her up too, closer to Usagi. Get rid of the Chibi Usa crush, it's honestly so off-putting. Did anyone ever enjoy it?
Give the villains more meaningful deaths. To make the manga appeal to adults, it's gonna need plot and character development.
Make us hate the villains. Koan burning nuns and Demande choking kids are horrible events, but give us depth and let us explore their psyches.
The manga gets dark and horrific...but it's not really that deep.
Foreshadow. Don't throw in stuff on a whim as Naoko did in Dream Arc!
Invest us in the lives of the Senshi. Some homelife, some school drama. Maybe take some pages from ABC's "Once Upon a Time" and let the girls unlock memories showing flashbacks from the Silver Millenium and why each girl became what they are. Then show these memories unlock potential in this life.

I would change the characters age and make them be 20/30-somethings, therefore their lives and motivating forces would be completely different.
You know... in the 90's them wearing school uniforms was brilliant. Naoko was telling the japanese little girls that in school uniform they could be strong and deal with many difficulties. I think I would keep the sailor collars, would dress them as greek/roman goddesses keeping the skater/ballet model as well, I'd want them to remain feminine after all. We're being invaded by many masculine rude heroines without boyfriends... I'm a little tired of it to be honest.
As for story, politics. I'd touch the political relation between the Moon Kingdom and Earth. Or Makoto dealing with the troubles of having her own business. Minako struggling with a frustrated career. Mamoru lacking paternal affection that would lead him to toy with drugs and sex, contracting HIV in the process. And of course, Chibiusa will be out of the picture! ..... Well... maybe at the end of the story she might be killed by a psychiatric hospital patient called Galaxia, a former member of the political group Black Moon and who believes she's the queen of the Milky Way, ending with the Silver Millennium lineage and setting up a new dictatorship in the galaxy.
No... I'm not crazy.

r34 checking out there. Considering how popular school girls (and how attractive the senshi are physically) are in porn, I'm pretty sure the popularity would not only explode in the "adult"-demography.
Also, it's a misconception to think that adults only like "dark" and "mature" (or sexy) stuff. The Marvel-Shitshow is the perfect example. People are mistaking Adults with something that Nerds call "Normies". Normies don't like comics because they need constant outside confirmation that they're adults and so avoid the comic originals, but have no problems with the movies based on them. Because the whole thing is a Real Live adaptation.
Meanwhile, series like Gravity Falls and video games like Pokémon are extremely popular among adults who don't suffer from an external identity complex. Which also applies to Sailor Moon, by the way. It's just that sailor moon isn't hot mainstream [BLEEP] anymore.

I couldn't watch Season 3 of Jessica Jones. It's just too toxic. It makes Asuka Langley look tame. Haven't watch Luke Cage or Iron Fist. Daredevil also was toxic but Jessica Jones just takes it too far. Punisher I'm not even touching that.
I'm glad anime is now mainstream. There was a disdain for anything anime back in the 90s. Why the need to westernize video game art cover?
