She's not a brony, she's a pony. Along with the outer senshi (least in a recent issue of the MLP comics).
And Celestia got the Crescent Wand.

Hipster Chibiusa was a clopper before clopping was a thing.

Those two on the right look oddly friendly.

They're cousin ponies.

She deserved more screen time.

Her awesomeness had to be put in check with lesser screen time. And, like Saturn (though not as much), she was very over powered compared to the rest.

The new series should just be centered on the Outer Senshi.
S > Stars > Supers = Classic > R, with the understanding that Supers has higher highs and lower lows than the last two.
S was when the show was firing on all cylinders, providing more energy in character interaction and more ambition overall. It's also the most Ikuhara of the five. Furthermore, if you're too blind to accept all the good Chibiusa moments in S, then really you should stop clinging to your impressions found elsewhere.
Mine is S, Class, R, SuperS, Stars. But I enjoy all of them for what they are worth. The finale to S1 and S5 always get to me.

How it should be.
Pretty close, I go Classic - R - S - Stars - SuperS
Stars is pretty much S redux, but that's not a bad thing as it also means strong single episodes. However, while the ending is grand and all, it's way too drawn out. Had it been tightened up by an episode or two it would have been much better.
Classic is weighed down by a bunch of lackluster Jadeite and Kunzite episodes, and ignores Minako while making Artemis an annoying exposition box. However it has the most iconic developments, so it definitely ranks higher than R which is about in the same episode quality range, although R has better stock and music. Like I said before, Supers just varies wildly between amazing or horrible depending on the specific episode, although usually it's Ikuhara and Satou providing the good stuff.

Jadeite was lame, but liked Kunzite. Nephrite was best general, and the rivalry with Zoicite made it most interesting.

You can put me in the Team Mercury camp. She was the best out of the original 5.
Kunzite himself was fine, and had some great moments, but I dunno, his episodes are a step down from Zoicite's. Then again, I'm one to flip that rivalry relation too as Classic with Zoicite is better than Classic without.

I go S > Stars > R > Classic> Live Action > Watching Paint Dry > Super S
S was fantastic on a rewatch, such great comedy execution.
I also liked the four generals for the most part, Nephrite was definitely the highlight.

*high five*
Oh, and if we're including Live Action, I probably put that after S. I actually really liked the Live Action series.

I still need to finish live action, but I liked what I've seen of it. (Up to the
arc.)
Since Takeuchi was heavily involved in that, it's probably a good idea of what to expect from the new series.
Also, I loved how self-aware Stars was to the point of parody. That's why Takeuchi was notorious for disliking it, I bet.

If comedic execution is a highlight, why scorn Supers? Go back and watch episodes directed by Ikuhara, Satou, and Igarashi and tell me it's worse than watching paint dry!
The Sailor Moon anime has ALWAYS been self-aware. For example, Ikuhara made it clear from episode 6 how Usagi bullshits her entrance speeches.
By the way, if you haven't seen the last third of the live action, you don't know what the show is really about.

What's so bad about Mars?
She's a bitch, she doesn't even have a dere dere side... it's just tsun tsun.
Haha. Season 1, 15 episodes, 80 dollars.
Seriously though, this is the 3rd toy line released since they republished the manga, right?
I want to know what fresh hell has decended upon whoever had the anime rights in Japan that has delayed the anime almost 14 months, with no clear release date in sight.
And you people are crazy, Jupiter is the best. Kansai and updos for the fucking win.
Makoto isn't kansai.
She isn't? Well to be fair, it's been about 17 years since I've watched Sailor Moon in Japanese.
She's still the best though.

Pluto > Jupiter > Mercury > Neptune > Saturn > Venus > Mars > Uranus > Moon
If you want a high-tier magical girl who is pure, unadulterated kansai, there's really only one:
Aiko Senoo!

That's what I dont like about Stars, everytime I watch it I just feel like I'm better off watching S again. As for the ending, yeah, the whole Uranus/Neptune vs Galaxia thing felt like filler.
Jadiete arc was OK, Nephrite arc is good. I'm currently rewatching Classic, so we shall see how Zoisite and Kunzite hold up.
dere dere? tsun tsun? kansai? Whaaaaaaaaaat?
Actually, it's the stuff after that that kind of wears on me.
Kansai dialect and accent is the major divergent form of speech from standard Japanese. Kansai is Osaka/Kyoto while standard is Tokyo, kind of like how standard American English is largely midwest. Most of the time in anime you just see it as slapping "ya" onto everything, but occasionally you actually get a full rendition.
Most american publishers who are in charge of doing english voice acting equate it as a southern accent, even though that's not really right. I think the best example of translating a Kansai dialect was in Persona 4 Arena, with Labrys having a Jersey/Rhode Island accent.
This, and they always made her be Usagi's best friend, the de facto leader in Moon's place, generally made to be the strongest/get the last hit, etc. She was the worst.
It's definitely a more relaxed and colloquial mode of speaking.
On many occasions in the anime it's shown that when it really comes down to it, Rei cares more deeply for Usagi than the rest. To say she's full-tsun is to ignore the facts.

I want Mars to step on my balls and tell me I'm worthless.

I mean I don't know, I guess she only has a tsun side after all! Clearly no dere. nope.

I wondered how long it would take until someone posted that.
Man, I still really want a high quality version of that. And the full pilot. I need to see that thing before I die.

Well, I'm being a little harsh. Super S has charms, but by and large, I really dislike the core plot. The good parts all involve the Amazons/esses.

We're not denying that part, it's the part where you said she was nothing but tsun.
Also I'm disappointed in SuperS. I was expecting worse than what I got. Someone lied to me.
