Day 1: I remember first hearing and seeing clips of PGSM on the old Save Our Soldiers website (which saddly bashed it) when PGSM was announced in Japan and was starting to be released. I remember trying to download torrents of it back then, but it was harder to do that since torrents took much longer (slower internet connection) and i wasn't allowed to let the computer run all night (family shared computer). I only watched a few episodes, rather enjoying what I saw. A year or so later, I found an ebay listing that was PGSM DvDs for $30 and i was like "OMG". Unbeknownst to me, it was just someone taking a fansub and burning it onto DVDs... I still own them.
They have hilarious translations too. If I can find the DVDs (they are somewhere... xD), I'll have to post screenshots. Anyway, I watched it all back then and really enjoyed it, but wasn't really hooked. I considered it my least favorite version of SM.
Some years past and I start running the streams here on GC and we do a PGSM rewatch and WELL got me hooked and realized just HOW good PGSM is. It is pretty much the best version of the Sailor Moon story. I can only find minor faults in it and people that complain about the "graphics" and "ballet-fu" obviously don't know anything about Japan and Japanese tv show genres. PGSM belongs to what is known as tokusatsu. Everything in PGSM sets out to do what it's supposed to and does it just fine. It's not cheesy or bad. Its supposed to be like that because that genre is incredibly popular in Japan and its too be expected.
Anyway, I think I went on a tangent there. So yeah, thats how I got introduced into PGSM. xD
Fun PGSM fact: the head writer of PGSM is also a head writer on Attack on Titan

What's tokusatsu?
Day 1: I remember discovering it from a Sailor Jupiter AMV back in high school. They used Drops of Jupiter. XD Anywho they showed some clips from PGSM and I was like what was that? I then saw PGSM transformations videos on the sidebar and watched them. I then looked it up on Wikipedia and it sounded interesting so I gave it a shot. I found the episodes on youtube and I enjoyed it a lot. I felt like it was a fresh take on the series. Back then I didn't love it as much as I do today. Like Brit, the GC livestreams made me love it more. In fact me wanting to do a livestream of PGSM jump started the GC streams.
There are some things I didn't like about it. I don't like their version of Silver Millennium and I'm not crazy about PGSM!Minako. But overall it's a great series that fleshed out the first arc quite well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokusatsu
It encompasses series like Kamen Rider, Super Sentai (which a season and then later seasons were adopted into what we Westerners all fondly know as Power Rangers), and also includes the kaiju movies like Godzilla or Gamera.

I didn't get to do day 1 yet so yeah...
Day 1: When were you first introduced to the live action (referred to as PGSM)?
I remember going on a sailor moon wiki 9 months ago and some of the episode titles made me more interested in the series so I started watching the series.
Day 2: Favorite character on your first run?
Usagi obviously!

Day 3: I think definitely still Mako and Usagi. Though Rei is freakin amazing in PGSM so I think shes up there too. I do have a fondness for PGSM Zoisite though... really hit me in the feels with him.

Day 4: I really like Mako and Usagi's friendship in this version. But I think I have to say I love the way Ami is trying so hard to be a good friend to everyone in the group, so I would have to say Ami and everyone. xD
Edit: I don't know why I did a double post for this... my bad. Blame it on my period xD

Day 4: Mako and Usagi and Usagi and Ami. I feel like these two friendships were really fleshed out in PGSM. In the anime Usagi was the closest to Rei and in the manga she was the closet to Minako. It was nice to have Mako and Ami get some love and form such a deep bond with Usagi.

Day 6: Couple you wished were Canon
Ikuko Mama and Minako's manager... XD Even though Ikuko mama has Kenji papa (and he's there in the wedding!) those two together would be a TRIP.
Day 7: Prettiest/Handsomest Character
SHIBBY-KUN AKA MAMORU.
Day 8: Favorite Villain
Def have to say its a toss up between Nephrite and Zoisite. Nephrite for how he is when he's human...that poor guy. And Zoisite because epic piano magics and how he reformed at the end...

Since I am terrible at actually following through with these...
Day 9: Favorite Shittenou?
Just like my fav villain its a tie between Nephrite and Zoisite! I love human Nephy. And Zoi... *Sniffles* (Also I really love the bad guy in the Act 0 special...he's hilarious and ridiculous)
Day 10: Favorite Actor/Actress?
Keiko Kitagawa! With Miyuu Sawaii running up second place. I love Keiko's portryal of Rei and I've seen her in a few other things, she's awesome!
Day 11: Favorite Senshi and why?
In this version, I'd have to say its a toss up between Jupiter and Mars. I love how FINALLY Jupiter wasn't just the "green" one or the tomboy stereotype like she is in all the other versions of SM. She was just fantastic.
And don't even get me going on Mars. That firey Guardian...espeically at the end. UGH. *feels*
Day 12: Favorite Non-Senshi character (excluding Villains)?
Its a toss up between Motoki and Ikuko Mama (and Minako's manager as a close second). Motoki is just adorable!
Day 13: Favorite family member (ex: Ikuko Mama, Ami’s mother, etc.)
IKUKO MAMAAAA!!!!

Day 14: Best Dressed?
Hm...I actually think they are all dressed really great. There are times I really love Makoto's outfits and Usagi's outfits are always adorable and Ami has great fashion sense too! Its hard to choose really. ._.
Day 15: Worst Dressed?
Motoki... dude, no turtle outfit please.
Day 16: Favorite Transformation?
Duuuuh! I adore the little dancers putting in her hair decorations and how sassy she is in her finish.
