   Yes, it was a lot of fun going through it all again. I found I had   
   forgotten quite a few of the key points so much of it still felt new.   
      
   Chances are that I will never go through the complete series again. I   
   have a lot to owe to Sailor Moon since it was the very first series all   
   those years ago to catch my attention (even though it was dubbed) and   
   start me looking into this thing called 'anime'.

   I don't think I have a favorite season as such. If I need a favorite of   
   some kind, it would be the 6 ep arc at the start of Stars and the least   
   favorite part of the series was the Ann and Ail story.

   Yes, but I don't believe they had intended to take the series past the   
   Queen Beryl battle so no real need to develop it more than they did. once   
   it was renewed, they seemed to put a little more effort into it.

   I don't have either of those series so I won't be watching along. You   
   should really concider Sailor Moon live action even if it's after an   
   extended Sailor Moon break! The first episode is very similar to the   
   anime, but it diverges soon after, both the story and the characters are   
   quite different. It's only 51 episodes and if you don't have it, I've got   
   it all on 3 DVDs.
