So, You Wanna Watch *Sailor Moon*? Awesome!
Welcome, welcome! You've made a great choice. Sailor Moon is magical. But which series do you jump into first?
This question has plagued fans for decades. Everyone has an opinion. Let's explore the choices.
The Classic Route: *Sailor Moon* (1992)
Most people will tell you to start with the original. They say it's the only way. It’s the "proper" way to experience Usagi's clumsy beginnings.
You'll see everything unfold slowly. Get ready for some filler episodes! And prepare for the old-school animation.
But hey, it’s a classic for a reason! The music is iconic. The transformation sequences are legendary.
The "Modern" Take: *Sailor Moon Crystal*
Then there's *Sailor Moon Crystal*. Shiny! New! More faithful to the manga, they claim.
The animation is… different. Some love it, some hate it. Things move a lot faster here.
Story-wise, it hits the major plot points. You get the gist of it all, streamlined. No filler!
My Unpopular Opinion: Season 3 of the Original!
Okay, okay, hear me out. I know what you’re thinking. "Start in the middle? Blasphemy!" But trust me.
Season 3, *Sailor Moon S*, is GOLD. The animation gets a serious upgrade. The storyline? Chefs kiss!
The Outer Senshi arrive! Hello, Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune! Plus, the villains are genuinely creepy.
Why *Sailor Moon S*? Let Me Explain...
It's a perfect blend. Good animation. Great story. Introduces key characters.
You can easily pick up on the backstory. Usagi is already Sailor Moon. You know the drill.
It's a good hook! After *Sailor Moon S*, you'll be desperate to learn more. You'll go back and watch the earlier seasons. Maybe even *Crystal*!
But What About the Other Seasons?
Don't worry, you'll get there! Once you're hooked, you'll want to see it all. *SuperS* with Chibiusa's romance? The epic battles of *Stars*?
Every season has its charm. Some are silly. Some are dark. All are Sailor Moon.
But start with S! It's the perfect gateway drug. You’ll thank me later.
Ultimately, It's Up to You!
Look, there’s no right or wrong answer. It's your Sailor Moon journey. Enjoy it!
Pick what sounds most appealing. Don't be afraid to experiment. Maybe you'll fall in love with Crystal first.
Just remember: Tuxedo Mask throws roses. Usagi cries a lot. And friendship conquers all. Now go watch!
