   Well, that's the end.  It was enjoyable watching them all back to   
   back.  I wish I could have done this a few years ago when there was   
   still a fair amount of traffic on the group, but it was enjoyable even   
   with just the small number of responders.   
      
   At the beginning of the series I said that my preference for the   
   seasons went Stars>S>Classic>SuperS>R.  I was curious if this ordering   
   would change in this viewing, and it definitely did.  I would now say   
   that the ordering goes Stars>S>Supers=R>Classic (a tie between SS and   
   R, in other words).   
      
   Classic was a lot worse than I remembered it; a lot of filler and a   
   lot of substandard filler.  R was a lot better -- no doubt because I   
   watched it in the original language this time and all the episodes at   
   once.  The others were about the same although I used to think that S   
   was a very close second to Stars, but after this viewing I'm convinced   
   that Stars is markedly superior to S.  This is particularly evident in   
   the conclusion, which I think far exceeds any of the other conclusions   
   in its expressive power and emotional impact (yes, even S).   
      
   If I had to pick a favorite episode off the top of my head it would   
   probably be either 200 or 125.  If I had to pick a least favorite   
   episode it would either be 67 (the dinosaur episode) or the R filler   
   with Rei's grampa running the gym.   
      
   I still haven't watched the movies and specials.  I'm pretty tired of   
   Sailor Moon at this point so I'm not going to do that immediately, but   
   once I get back from break I might consider it.  I'm also considering   
   doing this with a few other series -- Utena and Monster are the two   
   that are foremost in my mind for candidates.   
      
   By the way, if anyone actually goes this far, I recommend watching the   
   first episode or two of the series after the end of Stars.  It's   
   really striking how much of a difference there is in tone (and in   
   Usagi) between the end of the series and the beginning.
