At this point, you might as well wait for the inevitable Blu-ray release of the show. Then again, if they are waiting for 4.0's release it might be a while. -_-

Urusei Yatsura and Maison Ikkoku are part of the "Rumiko Takahashi" tree of works, along with Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha. IMO, it's not a great idea to watch them all at once. Better to pick and watch one, then get some distance before coming back for more.
Since Evangelion is not currently available, I would suggest exploring the "Gainax" tree, which includes Gunbuster (OAV series) and Nadia (TV series + movie).

Minako being the badass and de facto leader instead of bitchy Rei/Mars. Also no more of the Mars being Usagi's bf so much that she forgets about the other 3.
Just no more Mars wanking please. I'm fine with Venus or Jupiter wanking though.
Oh yeah, more Minako the better! Makoto felt non-existent by Stars, so I'd like to see more of her too.
Given how long Takahashi's works are, I can agree that I shouldn't watch her works at once. A friend of mine actually owns Maison Ikkou DVDs from back in the day, so I guess I can just borrow his during the summer when I have more time.
Hey, Hitokage, you've given some recommendations based on the anime. So I've been wondering, what would you say is "essential" to people who are mostly into the series from the live-action?

Usually I have trouble getting people into PGSM rather than guiding them out. Hell, it's one of the things that made me think long and hard about the nature of spoilers in general. What's the point in preserving something only for nobody to see it?
Accordingly, I usually recommend PGSM as something to watch in comparison to Madoka, but I suppose it works the other way. Hmmm... Vampire Princess Miyu TV also plays with the dark side of magical girl, and Red Garden comes pretty close to the genre while playing with double life drama extensively.

Minako sure does love kicking people through walls, huh?

Sorry about the low framerate, I wanted to keep the filesize from getting too big.

You take that back! lol

And it really is Surprise. Why would anyone think it's Apply?!Better is a relative term. Even today they aren't really interested in quality translation work.You take that back! lol

So apparently at some point they made condensed movie/recap versions of each season called Sailor Moon Memorial and I hadn't noticed until now. Watched the first and it was pretty much Usagi and Luna talking about the key events of the first season, skipping over everything that wasn't absolutely necessary.
So people who complain about filler, there you go.
As it happens, it's also an inferior product.

How many episodes have you seen so far?

This makes me wonder if SM Crystal will give him the Tuxedo La Smoking Bomber or bring back the rose toss. Smoking Bomber is cool but the roses are an iconic part of the character too so it'd be kinda weird to not have them in a new animation.

Now I really wanna see that too. xD

Me too, but it'd still feel kinda a shame to completely ditch the roses. I guess he could alternate but if they're keeping the new series lean and close to the manga I guess he wouldn't really have enough action scenes to work both in.

Oh yeah, that's right. That'd work.

Well, I'm sure not familiar with it.
Sailor Senshi just sounds way better.
The "Four Devas" weren't really developed in the manga. I wonder how they will be handled here? Funny thing is, Zoisite is my favourite in the Anime and Toku despite being completely different in both. Jadiete is my least favourite in both.

Always loved this picture. Usagi and Mamo look so cute on the moon.
So if saying the Amazon Trio arc felt mostly Chibiusa & Usagi dominated is "not an accurate representation of Supers," then what would you say is?
This is really beautiful.

The use of "baka" instead of "idiot" in that image has always bothered me...
Throwing in Japanese words that have English equivalents into an English sentence just looks and sounds weird. Same goes with any languages.
Also, "baka" is pronounced exactly like the Spanish word for cow, so it's always weird for me. Hah.
I prefer to use Sailor Soldiers. I only use "Senshi" when I write it more like "Sailor Soldiers/Senshi/Guardians/Scouts/whatever"...hah.

You didn't answer my question, which is listed below!
My favourite episode of SuperS is the one where Rei has that kid who idolizes her. So over the top.
The S/Supers fighting games for SFC and the Supers puzzle game.

I like the Genesis/MegaDrive and arcade games. The first SNES/Super Famicom fighting game (Sailor Moon S: Jougai Rantou? Shuyaku Soudatsusen) is a pretty good game, too. The sequel is good, too, but I generally hear that it's not as good/balanced, at least from competitive players.
The rest of the games are okay at best, I guess. I could never figure out how to play the puzzle games.

There's a cute GB(like, straight GB) game we dabbled in a patch for. It's a platformer/puzzler.
As deliriously happy as I was to see the Saturn Super S game have new animated scenes, it's really, really bad. Great music, though
