Sailor Moon Sailor Stars · review
Though weaker than the first three seasons, this was significantly better than SuperS, and a fine close to the series as a whole. The main weakness was that mid-section, while decent, was not particularly good. It had the same problem as the majority of SuperS, in that much too many episodes in that stretch could be summed up as "slice of life for 10-15 minutes, then monster battle", which I didn't really like. Though only a few of those episodes were bad, as the show's humor remained a strong point and was enough to at least partially salvage many of those. However, the season started and endedon strong notes. The Queen Nehellenia arc was great from start to finish, being intense and exciting throughout, with the cool animation expected from the show's more dramatic episodes. As well, the final Sailor Galaxia arc, the culmination of the series as a whole, was excellent. Sailor Galaxia was a great villain, and with the stakes higher than ever the show delivered excellently, with several episodes of ranking very high in terms of my favorites, especially the finale.
The other positives of the past seasons remained. The humor, as mentioned, remained a strong point, the show stayed great at delivering emotional moments when need be, the action scenes were usually exciting if formulaic, and the overall direction and animation were excellent, especially in the aformentioned climactic episodes.
Overall, though flawed, a solid conclusion to my favorite anime series i've seen yet, and one any fan should be happy with.
