Oh, and of course I watched the Sailor Moon Cosmos movies. The first one had weird pacing issues, which considering that the manga version of this arc also has weird pacing issues isn't surprising, but I enjoyed the second movie more than I thought I would. For me, the manga never really properly conveyed the epicness of the battle against Galaxia, but I actually got that "epic" feeling during the movie. It was also fun to see characters like Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon finally animated. I just love her design. It's a shame they didn't get to use her in the original anime. She's one character I've always wanted more of.
This is encouraging. Stars has such epic implications for the universe and it feels like Takeuchi didn't have the time/energy to follow them through.
