Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Chapter 61 Discussion

The last arc gave off the feeling of a rushed closure for the series - 4 new "good" characters with the entire arc basically consisting of one long battle. Well, it was nice in its own way, with an emotional ending. I was thinking about Buddhist themes in Sailor Moon a lot.



Apparently there's a new full-color digital edition of the manga (only in Japanese yet), pretty cool I guess.

Am I the only one who got emotional with the ending 😭 the ending was so beautiful. It’s been a hot minute since I re read the entire manga but I loved everything. Sure, there couldve been a little more character development and maybe not a repetitive villain, but for what it was, I felt it was just fine. Everything felt perfect for me 😭



My only complaint was that for the vast majority of the time Sailor Moon had help with everything. She used to be my favorite character but Chibusa was a more rounded character than her. I wished I saw more of Sailor Cosmos too.

After a long time I finally started and finished reading sailor moon, I watched

the first three seasons ages ago but stopped at superS.

The first 3 arcs were very nostalgic but the overall pacing of the manga is a bit too fast....out of all

I liked the eath busters arc (outer senshi!) the most and the manga did not change that though I prefer

the anime version of dark kingdom over the manga one but maybe that's just nostalgia speaking.



Deadmoon arc was OK, some may say it is awful but atleast the guardians got some development for once and in the manga they already

get so little but the final arc Stars I have mixed feelings about... its not terrible or anything but yea its dark and the mood totally did a 180, I was in disbelief

at what was happening to some of my fav characters. :( no one could have expect this at all maybe that why its so good.



Characters well if its not Usagi,Mamo or chibi anyone else barely get development but in the anime the other guardians actually managed

to shine a bit which I liked, it just shows that filler or side story can be a good thing. Art was gorgeous though which made it all the more worth it.



What to dislike? not much! hmm fast pace aside, we know the guardians cherish and live only to protect Usagi even tho Mina clearly would like to have a BF

but no apparently this is a lie. IMHO they are allowed a BF or GF! I kinda ship Michiru and Haruka so i'm kinda sad their fate is kinda open ended.

We know that one point in the first arc were teased as their lover but maybe that was just in the past.

There's some loose ends the author didn't want to further expanded upon the sailor senshi don't need lovers perse

but I think they deserved more than just our life for sailor moon.



What else? hmm I don't like nit pick kodansha's translation which was imo just fine some spelling error but what stood out was

some of the sailor senshi's attack names! I only ended up liking mercury's as they flowed well but ones such as mars and jupiter was really awkward.



Sailormoon is still a classic, and in no way its bad! managed to tell many good things and anime/manga gives and takes.

The actual ending was quite heartwarming, I did love the romance of Usa/mamo throughout

and did not disappoint, but it star arc oh boy... was that one hell of a final arc.

nope theres alot of sailor moon fans that really love the series and have been quite emoitional.

I just read the last chapter in the Eternal Edition that was published recently. This new translation makes it much more clear that Sailor Cosmos is the future Usagi. Cosmos literally calls Usagi her "old self."



Personally, I had always thought that Cosmos was Usagi from the future, so I'm glad the new translation basically confirms that.

so Chibi Chibi is the ultimate future version of Sailor Moon called Sailor Cosmos eh



welp they all got back to earth at least



and the cycle of death and rebirth, peace and chaos will continue eternally but for now peace is achieve

Man,the scene inside the Cauldron was so amazing.



I loved the wedding :') Precious ending for this series. This will forever be my favourite

                        ----------------------------------------

                        And with that, one of the greatest series of all time comes to a close. You, Sailor Moon, will always be the most beautiful shining star of all.  

the anime was cool in its own way but the manga is totally better, this last arc was ok, dark and the stakes were high. I kinda wanted a few pages more with the girls doing stuff on earth or something like that, the wedding was ok but it looked like it was set in Crystal Tokyo.

anyways, a good series with cool concepts. Too bad we never got a sequel with Sailor Cosmos fighting Sailor Chaos to finish all evil in the universe considering that in the first timeline, Chaos roams free (by Sailor Cosmos/Chibi Chibi words)



Edit

I reread Stars arc it and I was damn wrong (what the hell was I thinking when I wrote that shit?), we don't need no sequel, Usagi did the right thing in not destroying the cauldron, every piece was set beautifully in these last chapters and Sailor Cosmos can fight against Sailor Chaos till infinity, the war can't be stopped but at least they can live.

I am an imbecile for not understanding that

Outstanding story
