[AdrianAye]

In the name of the moon, I appreciate you

(For covering Sailor Moon)

[nicolasoke]

I'm a simple person, I see Sailor Moon, I click...

[jjlarosa]

I learned sailor moon characters before I learned that planets were a thing

[coolnerd]

The 90s were a wierd and wonderful time.

To clarify at least one important point: This video leaves out an important time loop. The events from the end of the first season (not including the filler/non-canon Al and Anne arc) to when Rini travels back in time are not documented. According to the manga, when Usagi and Mamoru came of age (I believe Usagi was 21 or 22), they married. At that point, she came into her powers as Neo Queen Serenity and Mamoru came into his powers as King Endymion. The healing and purification of Earth began, and Small Lady/Rini was born; as the purification spread throughout Earth, people began to have longer and longer lifespans. Small Lady never matured and was stuck in a pre-powered juvenile form which caused her embarrassment and ridicule, which drove her to Pluto for her only friendship. Those who did not agree to the purification became the second season antagonists, whose purpose in coming back to the 20th century was to prevent Sailor Moon/Tuxedo Mask from coming to power in the first place. Of course after their defeat, the (relatively near) future marriage of Usagi and Mamoru was still a go, so Rini's existence was not (yet) threatened.

Treating time as linear here is a mistake; even if defeating all antagonists through Season 4 allowed Rini to still exist, the loop that created her had to stay intact. Season 5 changed that drastically. In the anime, we get this neat resolution where everyone is still existing in the late 20th century, but the manga explains that everyone in reality lost their 20th century corporeal forms (they died yet their Star Seeds remained intact), and after given the choice to remain together, they were reborn in the 30th century, when Usagi and Mamoru finally had the chance to marry and bring the new Silver Millennium into existence. The manga also explained that the Quartet, after being revealed as Chibi-Usa's future guardian soldiers, went back to sleep/stasis until their appropriate time in the distant future. It's a shame this was never fleshed out properly in the original anime, whether due to time constraints or just wanting a current day resolution rather than a future one. I personally like the manga ending much better, and it answers story questions in a far more satisfying way.

Totally forgot to mention how in the manga Chibi Chibi is a future reincarnation of sailor moon. She is Sailor Cosmos, who ran away from her timeline.

As a child I was obsessed with sailor moon. I watched literally everything. All the season (1992), the dub, the movies, the live action, the remake they did back in 2014. I even have the DVD at home.

[crazymme]

This is the most comprehensive timeline I've found for Sailor Moon! I enjoy "dont think too hard about it" cause seriously that is this entire show.

[thetrendygamer]

In the Japanese version he calls her “dumpling head” I had to ok

[EmujiAtara]

Basically you’ve only comfirmed that Mamoru is useless.

[gee]

When she said why is she liking this anime which has weird plots and twist. That hit me so hard.

I mean for real, everyone or just me love this show because of the art/animation quality and aesthetics and NOT the storyline.

[noradora]

You’re just not gonna mention when Demande kidnaps Usagi and she wakes up in a different dress

[juliannaapril]

This sounds like me trying to explain a long story through a text message.
“So this happened but it happened because this happened that happened before that happened the first happened. But that happened because the second happened and then I’m not there but I am there later not right now but you need to know cuz then you won’t understand why I’m not in there but on there because this happened”

[luigi-]

The thing is, it's not right to mix the anime and the manga in anything. Because, while most stories tend to differ in their manga/anime counterparts in Sailor Moon's case they are totally different things, like, totally. I mean, many of the characters remain but their personalities/motives/actions vastly disagree. Not to mention events and the way the story unfolds.

THE WORK YOU PUT INTO THIS IS AMAZING! Sailor Moon is my favorite thing, and I'm going to force my friend to watch it with me and this will be a beautiful guide for me to give him more information with. Sooo excited!

[Sailor_Samara]

I enjoyed this video! Just a note tho, there’s no Princess Usagi... it’s either Usagi, Princess Serenity or Neo Queen Serenity. I thought maybe you were joking the first time you used her name that way but then you said it again lol.... it can also be a bit confusing for the viewer mixing the Japanese with the OG English dub. It would have been better and an easier watch to just stay strictly Japanese as of 2019, we have a nearly complete new English dub that is more true to the Japanese.

[shift]

I'm more confused now than I was when I started.

[veadrix]

Loved the Luna timeline too. She really got hers. It was so emotional. Oh and honestly? When Artemis found out? Oh, the
