Sailor moon is one of the most famous animes of all time, it and Dragon ball Z made animes more popular to the western audience. I was never into anime as a kid the only ones I saw bits of where Pokémon and Digimon. I have heard of this anime when it came out in the west but little did I know they complety messed up the English translation for this anime( Plus I didn't watch it that often as a child). There are three versions of Sailor Moon and I am about to talk each of them.
Original Japanese version 9/10
As Said previously I never watched to much of this anime when it got aired on TV in English. But I am very glad I watched this version of the show because it's much better then the Dub. The animation is the same in both versions but they are no Edit cuts like boobs and blood. The music in this version is great, The voice acting is believable, the writing is very good, The characters are funny, interesting and well developed with there own personality's, The Japanese version also has no cuts in episodes and has all of them from Season 1-5. This version is also the only one that had Season 5. If you haven't watched sailor moon Watch this version since you will get everything in it and it does everything better then the Dub from the comedy to the drama and romance. (Plus it's a lot more Mature)
English Dub DIC Seasons 1/2 3/10
This is a very bad dub and it isn't what sailor moon is about at all. The voice acting is bad, the writing is bad, there are missing episodes, cuts in episodes, The storyline and names are different but worse, the only ok thing about it is that some of it's music is good but most of it is bland. Not to mention they kept changing the main character Usagi's (Serena in the dub) voice a few times throughout both seasons. Plus what was up with Sailor Says?! Avoid this version Like your life depends on it!
English Dub Clooverway Seasons 3/4 5/10
While in certain ways I do think this Dub was better then Dic's dub due it having no cuts in episodes, Keeping the same soundtrack as the Japanese version and having the same storyline. What makes it meh is the voice acting, not only did they change them again but they sound awful! every character is ear grating to listen to with the writing still being pretty bad also. They also made this one huge change where Sailor Uranus and Neptune are now cousins in this version! In the original Japanese version they were lesbians. This version is also where the Dub ends to. Since Season 5 never got an English translation. This version isn't worth your time either but it is better then Dic's dubs tho.
This is an anime Classic that everyone should watch and it holds a special place in my heart because it's got me interested in anime. But make sure you watch the Japanese version with English Subs.
