I'm sure all of us have our favorite openings and endings. So what's yours?
Openings: My is the second version moonlight desnsetsu because it has a great beat to it. Then my absolute favorite is the Stars opening! It's so catchy and makes a great battle song.
Endings: I'm not a big fan of the endings in this series. I'm very picky when it comes to openings and closeings. My two favorites are the two endings in SuperS: Watashitachi Ni Naritaakute: It's such a beautiful song. Rashiku Ikimashou: It's such a cute song and I love animation used in it.

Openings: My favorite opening is Moonlight Densetsu, both versions. It's a classic. Sailor Star Song is a great song too but MD is my favorite.
Endings: Heart Moving - I grew up with this melody. It took me years to find out Heart Moving was not the original opening song. It was too good to be an exclusive dub song. I was right. They only liked HM better than MD and I agree. Beautiful and catchy song. The original japanese version is still better, in my opinion.
Spoiler:
Tuxedo Mirage - This song is so romantic and beautiful. The animation with the girls dressed as princesses and Serenity/Endymion is probably my favorite of all the endings.

For openings its hard for me to choose! I'm basing on the animation though because I love both songs (though I think i'm a bit partial to the Dali version, but only by a little bit).
And while I'm at it, why not have a mega post of all the OPS in this thread. Some seasons have multiple versions of the openings with some slight change in the animation, so I'll post those too. Also, I'll make a separate post for the EDs.
1st OP - Classic
2nd OP - Classic
3rd OP - R
4th OP - R
5th OP - S
6th OP - S
7th OP - S

9th OP - SuperS
10th OP - Stars
11th OP - Stars

Openings: In terms of the opening theme songs, I prefer the Moon Lips version of Moonlight Densetsu, closely followed by Sailor Star Song.
In regards to the animation, the third opening of the S season is my favourite, followed by the second opening of the Stars season.
Endings: In terms of music and animation, I prefer the S ending, the first Supers ending, and the episode 200 finale ending.

Openings: By far, I think my favorite opening theme song is the one by Moon Lips. I just love how the music sounds very impacting and to me, stills sounds like a more "modern" version of Moonlight Densetsu still today.
Endings: While I by far love the song Otome no Policy, as an ending animation wise, it did get boring for me. I would say that my favorite ending music/animation-wise would be the 1st ending in SuperS.

I'm going to have to go with Heart Moving, Watashi tachi ni Naritakute, and Rashiku Ikimasho as my favorite endings. I love both version of Moonlight Densetsu (though i think i slightly prefer the Moon Lips version) and I love Sailor Star Song. As far as animation goes, the 2nd R opening is probably one of my favorites by far. I also always liked the animation for Tuxedo Mirage and Rashiku Ikimasho endings.
the Stars ending has got to the be the most boring one of all time.

My favorite ending is the first Moonlight desnsetsu because it is just so romantic and reminds me of my first date with my boyfriend. We hung out by a pond in a park. My favorite opening is Sailor Stars.

Since this is the anime forum I won't mention the myu and pgsm themes XD (wait...)
My favourite opening of Moonlight Densetsu is the Third S Opening, its just nice to see all ten in it. ^_^ But I prefer Sailor Star Song over Moonlight Densetsu, though i still love moonlight dnesetsu.
My favourite ending is Tuxedo Mirage and Princess Moon ^_^

My favorite opening is Sailor Stars. I love the beauty of the song, the exciting feeling you get from the clips, and I just love that we're getting something different than the same 'ol opening while it's still true to the spirit of Sailor Moon. I also prefer the Dali version of Moonlight Densetsu over the later version. The Dali version just sounds catchier to me somehow. My favorite endings are Rashiku Ikimasho, Moon Revenge, Moonlight Destiny (the S movie ending theme), Otome no Policy, Heart Moving, and Kaze mo Sora mo Kitto…As you can probably tell, I tend to love the bouncier fast paced songs the best, although Watashi-tachi ni Naritakute is probably my favorite slow song.

I love, love, love Moon Pride. Sailor Star Song is probably a close second.
For some reason, none of the ending songs really stick out to me (probably because I tend to fast forward to the next episode)

I love how i reread my old posts and the first one i said i was leaning towards the Dali version of Moonlight Densetsu then in a later post I said Moon Lips...clearly I cannot decide.

I'm with Starchild. Tuxedo Mirage is the best for me hands down. I watched the dub as a kid but they fortunately kept this ending in so I got to experience it back then. The song is even better once you realize it's the five main actresses singing it. Just a great song in general and it has very classy animation.

When I heard the Momoiro Clover Z cover of it on the 20th memorial album, I wanted to cry. That song is so beautiful no matter the version or who sings it.
OMG, and have any of you heard Akiko Kosaka's version (she's the composer of the music for Tuxedo Mirage, also composed Moon Revenge and nearly all the musical songs till 2005) from her Linked to 40 years album? ITS SO PRETTY. She has such a lovely voice.

6th ed- Super S is my fave ending song. Reminds me somewhat of Madonna's 'Vogue' (find it on YT!) and some jazzy or Latin sounds here and there. 3rd ed - R is another I happen to like (and on YT, the Anime Expo Chile used it to promote their convention last year).

I don't have a favorite opening, but I do love SuperS's first ED, Watashitachi ni Naritakute. I also really love Crystal's Moonbow.

I like the classic openings the best, because they remind me of my childhood years. The Sailor Stars opening is also quite catchy, I like the lyrics. The Sailor Stars ending is the best for me.

I love Moonlight Densetsu! It's timeless! My favorite ending is Otome no Policy. I love how the lyrics emphasized on Usagi's growth in the second season. It was then that we started to see her taking responsibilty.

My favorite Opening is Sailor Star Song. I really love the catchy tune and the positive lyrics, it makes an overall empowering battle theme as well as a great final Opening for the show. I also really like the Moon Lips version of Moonlight Densetsu. The S and SuperS openings are my overall favorites visually.
Ending-wise, I really like Heart Moving and Tuxedo Mirage. Heart Moving has such a beautiful melody and the piano version from the OST always makes me cry like a baby (the track is called hoshi-tachi ni mamorarete and plays for example when Mars dies in the final battle against Beryl). Tuxedo Mirage has my favorite visuals and I really connect the song with an emotional moment in my early time as a fan of Sailor Moon

Opening: Why do I have a feeling it is Moonlight Densetsu, I wonder? Also, the Sailor Star Song is pretty good, not to break the hearts of its' admirers. Or to do that by what I said. ^_^
Ending: Tuxedo Mirage and Kaze Mo, Sora Mo, Kitto are my two favorite ones. Both sound very emotional and delicate, especially Tuxedo Mirage, which has a beautiful and tragic melody, very fitting to the season. Kaze Mo, Sora Mo, Kitto has a slightly more upbeat melody, but it still sounds of a somber longing and is again fitting to Usagi's feelings during the season. Anyways, Kaze Mo, Sora Mo, Kitto is my ultimate favorite ending, I guess.
And all the other songs as well are quite good, of course.
