- Day 11: Which transformation sequence do you like best and why?
I really like all the Inner's transformations, but I'd say the one that caught my eye the most was Jupiter. Just the whole electricity and atom formation really caught my eye. |

| Day 21 - Favorite friendship?
Besides all the senshi for each other? Naru and Usagi. It's really a pity it gradually disappeared. Usagi's bond with her family is great, too, but I guess that's more than friendship. |

| Day 19: What song(s) would be your ringtone?Hmm, that's difficult to decide! I think I might have something cheerful, such as "Otome no Policy" or "'Rashiku' Ikimasho". Maybe an instrumental version of those ! Day 20: Favorite rewatchable arc?I've only seriously rewatched Sailor Moon S, Sailor Stars, and Sailor Moon R, but I would probably say SuperS or Stars would be arcs that are the most rewatchable. Rewatching Stars made me love Seiya x Usagi, and maybe SuperS, like some other Ikuhara arcs, might be better when watching again. My favorite arc would be S, but I think Stars also follows pretty well. Day 21: Favorite friendship?Rei and Usagi! They really care for each other, even if they fight frequently. That scene where Usagi cradles her head as she died was really sad .

| Day 21-favorite friendship This is gonna sound kinda silly, but I love Chibiusa and Usagi's relationship-even moreso after Chibiusa stops fighting for Mamoru's attention in S and Supers. It always reminded myself of my sister and I, especially since we watched sailor moon together as kids, so it's got a special place in my heart.
Day 22-favorite scenery It's a three-way tie! I love the moon kingdom, crystal tokyo AND that lovely cityscape that has all those pretty pastel light affects-mostly near the tokyo tower. I've had multiple desktop wallpapers of each. |

| I've been meaning to get on this bandwagon since I first saw the thread...now I got some time! Also I can't wait to catchup on everyone's answers. Day 1: How were you first introduced to the anime and which episode was it? So technically, I was introduced to SM twice. Once, when I was real little, 6 or 7, before Sailor Moon had made it to Toonami (so mid 90s?), I have a memory of catching the episode in R where Venus saves the bus of kids. I know it aired early in the morning then and usually I'd watch Inspector Gadget before school, so it was probably during that early morning time. After that, I never saw it again and SM was forgotten from my little kid memory. Skip about 5 or 6 years, family moved when I was going from 5th to 6th grade and after about a year, I started to make friends. One girl in my new neighborhood had satellite TV and had Cartoon Network (our cable provider did not have it yet), she invited me over to show me Sailor Moon (and then of course Dragonball and the entire Toonami block during 1999-2000. What episode it was, I'm not really sure anymore, but I was hooked from then on. I couldn't consume enough Sailor Moon and hated that we didn't have CN. I would be excited to go visit with my grandma because they had Cartoon Network and I could watch it. I got online and went to so many websites to learn more about it. Got VHS tapes to rewatch episodes over and over. There was no turning back then. xD Day 2: Favorite episode?THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO CHOOSE JUST ONE. Perhaps I should go by season... Season 1My favorites are both double parter eps. Episodes 34 & 35 "The Shining Silver Crystal: The Moon Princess Appears" and "Returning Memories: Usagi and Mamoru's Past" What can I say? Both in the Japanese and Dic dub, these two episodes were emotional and fantastic (plus I had the VHS of the Dic dub and probably watched both eps about 50+ times). Episodes 45 & 46"Death of the Sailor Guardians: The Tragic Final Battle" and "Usagi's Eternal Wish: A Brand New Life" I don’t think any of the finales of the anime quite beat this finale...The deaths, Sailor Moon healing Mamoru and choosing to not kiss him because her friends hadn’t had that luxury, the final fight between Princess and Beryl..Getting chills thinking about them now XD Season 2Am I allowed to say the entire Makaiju Arc…? No? Okay then… Episode 59 "True Love Awakens: The Makai Tree's Secret" I just...it’s perfect. Remember how I didn’t think Se01’s finale couldn’t beat any others? Maybe I lied.. This arc finale is just...A+++ Outside the Makaiju Arc, it might have to be episode 68 “Protect Chibiusa: Clash of the Ten Warriors”. The Ai no Senshi fight sequence was animated beautiful and the timing with the music is just spot on. It’s such a well done episode. I love the faceoff between the Ayakashi Sisters and the Inner Senshi. Also can I have a runner up for episode 86 “Saphir Dies: Wiseman’s Trap”. Damn that was a good one. Season 3TBH I need to rewatch this season again to really make a decision. I’m kinda torn between some episodes. xD Season 4Since I just love this entire season I’m gunna just say all the episodes that deal specifically with Chibiusa and Pegasus/Helios are my favs. Also the finale is very nice, not my favorite buuut I reaaally love the sequence after Usagi dives off the rising rock to save Chibiusa. Season 5This is my least watched season thanks to no dub back in the day and then having to eventually find torrents of it down the line, so my memory isn’t as fresh. I do really love the Nehellenia arc! Day 3: Least favorite episode?In general, I actually like all the episodes of Sailor Moon. I guess if I had to pick...maybe episode 127 "A Guardian’s Realization: Strength Lies Within a Pure Heart" because it just felt out of place after everything that happened in that season. I’m sure i could pick other eps but that one comes to mind. |

| Day 22: Favorite scenery?
- Most of Season One- Season two. But I love all of the scenery in SuperS when they allow it to be pretty. All the elysion shots or dreamy shots are lovely and I enjoy them immensely. Season one to two have a lot of pastels and just nostalgic feeling shots. They're all romantic in a way. |

| Day 1: How were you first introduced to the anime and which episode was it?
I know I watched it at least once when I was really young because I remember Usagi... or rather Serena saying "Sailor Moon says, goodbye!". That's at the end of a lot of episodes during the Sailor Says segment though so I can't really pinpoint which exact one I watched. I can only narrow it down to the first two seasons based on that, but I have a hunch it was the first season.
Anyway. Earliest memory of an SM episode I have was Episode 5. I watched it on Youtube back in 2007 or 8, where there were episodes aplenty due to the trademark being in limbo at the time. |

Tough. I guess over all, I'd have to say between how poorly used Tuxedo Mask was used in later seasons, since he was down graded to team cheerleader/damsel-in-distress; or the infamous break-up arc in R (really ruined the season for me), since it was poorly executed, poor motivation, terrible timing in the series, went on for too long, and it's conclusion was too abrupt. |

| Day 1: How were you first introduced to the anime and which episode was it?
The first thing I can remember watching was the R movie on VHS in after-school daycare in either kindergarten or first grade. I remember the boys threw a fit about having to watch it and used the fact that the flower wasn't wearing a shirt to get the movie taken off. I didn't get to watch it start to finish until high school, I think. |

It's a bit of a toss up as I'm sure it would be for a lot of people, but in the end I'll have to go with Episode 141: Storm of Love! Minako's Grand Two-Timing Plan for being a hilarious Minako-centered episode involving the Amazon Trio that I always keep coming back to, and even wrote up an episode summary for on Wikimoon. |

| Day 23: If you were trying to get a friend into Sailor Moon, but could only show them one episode, what episode would you show and why?
Geez, that's a tough one. I would have to say one of the filler episodes from the S season, after chibimoon arrives but before the inner senshi learn of Haruka and Michiru's identities. That way you get to see the interaction and conflict among the characters, while getting the everyday battles and not spoiling too much of the overarching storyline. |

| Now that I think about it, I didn't really have a favorite movie. I guess I just selected the S movie because it was my first . Day 22: Favorite scenery?Umm, I guess the backgrounds from the ending sequences. I don't remember much of the other backgrounds. Day 23: Episode to introduce a friend to Sailor Moon with?Maybe the episode in which Chibiusa arrives, or the one in which Minako runs around with her Pure Heart and they find out about the Outer Senshi's identities; any Minako episode really, hahah . |

| Day 23: If you were trying to get a friend into Sailor Moon, but could only show them one episode, what episode would you show and why?
- honestly, I'd start them on ep one because I'm methodical like that. But really, first part of Season two because not only do you have that Reset bit so all the relationships are back at Zero again, but the summary of season one more or less happens there and gives you all the info you need about the Main character, a brief one of her friends and what they're supposed to do and also a peek at her love interest.
It's all there neat and tidy and so if the friend wanted to go back and watch season one, they could or they could keep going knowing the basic idea of what's going on. |

| Day 23: If you were trying to get a friend into Sailor Moon, but could only show them one episode, what episode would you show and why?
I think it would depend a lot on who the friend is and what they would like in anime. A perfectionist like me? Gotta start on episode 1. Someone who likes slice-of-life stuff? 55 (Is Seijuro the Moonlight Knight? Mako On Fire) or 51 (the Cherry Blossom episode). Someone who likes battles? 68 (Protect Chibi-Usa: Clash of the Ten Warriors) or even the R movie. Someone who's in it for kawaii? The R eyecatch. Or, more seriously, something Chibiusa-Helios from Supers. 135? Someone who's in it for the feels? A marathon of the Naru-Nephrite saga. Someone just looking to have a fun time? The cat episode. Someone who loves good plots? Episode 6 (Jazz). |

No, while I appreciate the anime for introducing me to Sailor Moon, I feel like the manga as a stronger story mostly, regardless of the fact that anime moves slower in story telling (to a crawl in some cases). |

awaken sleeping beauty! Mamoru's distress
Saphir Dies: Wiseman's trap
A handsome boy? Haruka Tenoh's secret
Protect Mamoru: Ninja Usagi's jealousy
Seiya and Usagi's heart-pounding date
these five episodes always come to mind when asked what my favorite episode is. Of course there are several more, but I really can narrow it down to just those five in terms of the ones that I absolutely love. |

No. v.v I've seen all of S and Stars, at least half of Supers, a good chunk of season one and only a few episodes of R past the doom tree. the breakup arc really dulled it for me I'll get to it eventually. |

| Day 24: Have you seen all 200 episodes of the anime? If yes, was it worth the time?
- I have. Both sub/dub, I've seen them all over the years. Is it worth the time? Ultimately, no. 200 episodes isn't worth it because of the filler. Again, while some filler is -fine-, the 90s anime makes it pointless at times in terms of the characters actually keeping the lessons learned there. I'm not saying all filler is useless or it has to go somewhere, but when a good chunk of the series is also pointless filler or filler where the characters never learn their lessons, it becomes a slosh to get through.
It's only good for BG stuff, like have it on if you're not really going to pay attention to it sort of thing.
I'm plot/story oriented person, so the 90s anime as a whole was never going to truly appeal to me because I like Plot over Fluff a lot of times. |

Wow, this makes your accomplishments in the Screenshot Challenge all the more impressive! Day 24 - Have you seen all 200 episodes, and was it worth the time? Yes, and kinda. The perfectionist in me is happy to have seen them all, but are some of those SuperS fillers worth the time? No. And especially not the dinosaur episode or the recap episode. |

My personal favorite would be the Droid that resembles the Grim Reaper. I liked the Monsters of the Week back when they were more scary, and less sexy (so I'm not a fan of the majority of Daimons, as far as design is concerned). {also, just a small note, I prefer calling them monsters-of-the-"week", instead of "day" since SM was a weekly show}. |

| Day 24: Have you seen all 200 episodes of the anime? I don't think so, as I still have some episodes of SuperS that I haven't seen before, as well as a few from the first season. There might be some others that I skipped over, but I don't remember them as well. I think I actually might have started around S or SuperS, because I read the manga first and was somewhere around the start of the Dreams arc when I started seriously watching the anime again. Day 25: Favorite Usa x Mamo moment? I don't have a specific one, but I liked their somewhat quarrelsome banter during the first season. Afterwards I wasn't very fond of their relationship. If the entrance scenes of the two count, then I would probably add those also, because they were pretty hilarious. :no tux rose?:

Does Chibiusa x Helios count? If not, then Naru x Umino because I like the symbolism of it; that even the nerd kid who annoys everyone and doesn't look all that attractive can get someone in the end. |

Basically the entire Sailor Moon R movie. They were so dedicated to each other to put themselves in harms way multiple times over! It's still a powerful moment to see Mamoru break out of the (healing?) prison Fiore had put him in and transform to be by her side as she transformed into princess serenity! <3 |
