By the end of the series I had literally grown up with them. The character and story development is nearly unmatched, you literally get a birds eye view of nearly the entire lives of the characters. You won't forget this shows music, and the stories and animation wouldn't be half as heart felt without it. It moves so effortlessly from romantic to all out action beats. The music is forever etched into my skull, and rightfully so. Sailor Moon sets many standards in anime and should be held in high regard. From the transformations to the outfits and even the attacks, it's really so very unique that it's never been truly duplicated and certainly never surpassed. The character designs are so detailed it's amazing. I truly believe Sailor Moon is a absolute gem of an anime series that no one should miss. It's never dull, and it's always very touching. it always stays completely believable no matter how many sci-fi elements are mixed in. From Usagi's daily life to the trials between the scouts, from the newest threat to the romance between various characters.

What really makes it unique is the romantic story though and that no matter how silly things get, the story never fails to really hit home. The show is an excellent comedy, yet manages to maintain plenty of action. There's a personality for everyone to relate to, and each character has their own nuances. The characters are just simply so easy to adore and admire. After giving it some serious thought and thinking about the absolute tons of anime I've seen over the years, I can honestly say Sailor Moon is my favorite anime. But how many are actually true fans of this show? I for one, am. In fact, it started the vast majority of Gen Y on their first true anime series. Now I know just about everyone to ever watch an anime has seen Sailor Moon. Fireflies are associated with spirits of the dead, which allude to her power of death/rebirth.

Hotaru Tomoe is loosely translated as "Firefly of Saturn" ("hotaru" means "firefly", while "to" means "earth" and is derived from "dosei"-"Earth Star" which describes Saturn).
