I agree completely with Lantis on these two statements:
"The first season of the anime is better than the first arc of the manga."
"That said, the animated version of Rei is just wrong."
I really felt the first season of the animation was the BEST season. The manga is just hectic and helter-skelter for a while (although I do still enjoy it and prefer many of the plot elements).
I hate Rei's animated form. She's no longer mysterious or elegant, or even that complicated. She's just a shallow hypocrite.
I love ChibiUsa
Sailor Moon R (the animation, not the comic) bores me to tears.
I don't like Sailor Luna. At the very least she should have had "normal" hair and no tail when in her "civilian" form (when not in her Sailor form). Way too much purple going on there.
There should not have been a relationship between any of the shitennou to begin with.
Despite being annoyed at the major plot changes, I found Stars (animation) to be very entertaining.
I hate the "wolf howl" in La Soldier. I'm glad they omitted it with the recent CD release.
In terms of merchandise, I really don't like the wand pointers that have been so extremely popular. They're kind of fugly, cheap-looking, and pointless.
I'm absolutely OK if the starlights never show up on any new merchandise.
Naoko Takeuchi is not God. But she did create a great series (that I love very much!)
