After reading a totally ignorant comment, I had to speak up.
"Sailor Moon" is a highly enjoyable super-hero series, with five seasons and three movies. The animation is beautiful, with a highly entertaining storyline. The characters, whether you love them or hate them, all add a sparkle that would otherwise be missing from it. The first season was a great introductory season, with the first five Sailor Scouts, the two cats, and Tuxedo Mask all making an appearance. My favorite season was the second. It was the most romantic season, focusing more on Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon's relationship. But even the third and fourth seasons (which I did not like very much), still have their moments. The fifth, which I haven't seen all of, is just as good if not better than the second. However, this season has yet to air in the U.S.
And someone asked why American kids keep turning to this...how about the fact that American animators are making nothing but crap now? My generation (I'm almost 21) is quite peculiar about their cartoons. We all remember what it was like when it was actually *worth* getting up on Saturday mornings to watch cartoons. Anime, for the most part, has the kind of quality we have come to expect for our cartoons, and if America can't deliver them, we'll have to look elsewhere.
