- TriviaThe Sailor Senshi's civilian names relate to their superhuman roles:
- the name of Usagi Tsukino is loosely translated as "Rabbit of the Moon" ("usagi" means "rabbit", and "tsuki" means "moon").This pertains to a Japanese folktale about a rabbit that can be seen in the Moon, and also to her moon-based powers.
- Chibiusa is a loose term of "little Usagi" ("chibi" means "little" or "mini"), she being Usagi's daughter and Sailor Chibi Moon (Sailor Mini Moon in the original English dub from Cloverway).
- Ami Mizuno reads "Asian Beauty of Water" ("A" means "Asian" and "mi" means "beauty", while "mizu" means "water"), which reveals her power to control water.
- Rei Hino's surname relates to fire ("hi" means "fire"), which reveals her power to control fire. The word "rei" could be translated as "beautiful", "companion", "spirit", or "soul" (the latter fits her "Fire Soul" cry), but the name "Rei" is always written in Katakana, which suggests that it doesn't have any Japanese meaning.
- Makoto Kino translates as "Tree Spirit Makoto" ( "ki" means "tree" and "spirit"), and her power is control over nature (mostly trees/lightning).
- Minako Aino reads "Beautiful Child of Love" ("mi" means "beauty" and "ko" means child, while "ai" means "love"). This pertains to Venus being the goddess of love.
- Setsuna Meioh is loosely translated as "Moment of Pluto", which alludes to her power over time ("setsuna" means "moment", while "mei" and "o" mean "dark" and "king" and are derived from "meiosei"-"Dark King Star" which describes Pluto).
- Michiru Kaioh means "Neptune Rising" ("michiru" means "rising", while "kai" and "o" mean "sea" and "king" and are derived from "kaiosei"-"Sea King Star" which describes Neptune), which alludes to her powers coming from the ocean.
- Haruka Tenoh means "Distant Uranus" ("haruka" means "distant", while "ten" and "o" mean "sky" and "king" and are derived from "tenosei"-"Sky King Star" which describes Uranus) which alludes to her powers coming from the sky/wind.
- 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). Fireflies are associated with spirits of the dead, which allude to her power of death/rebirth.
- GoofsIn the Hebrew dub the Senshi said "Wake up" when transforming. When the studio realised that they were supposed to say "Make up" as they do in the original Japanese they decided to keep having them say "Wake up" as they felt it went better with Hebrew.
- Quotes
Sailorvenus: In the name of the moon, you're punished!
Usagi: That's my line, damn you!
- Crazy creditsIn the Hebrew dub, the extended version of "Kaze Mo, Sora Mo, Kitto!" is used in place of "Moonlight Densetsu" in the final episode.
- Alternate versionsIn the first episodes in the Japanese language version, Mamorou calls Usagi "Dumpling Head". In the Viz Media English dub, he calls her "Bun Head".

It introduced me to Anime!
Sailor Moon....the Anime series that changed my life. I've been a devoted moonie for about 6 years. Like many, it was my introduction to Japanese Anime.
For those who don't know, Sailor Moon is about Usagi Tsukino, a 14-year-old girl who lives in Japan. She gets horrible grades, loves food, is a crybaby, and enjoys sleeping. One day, she is running late for school, per usual, and she spots some little kids tormenting a black cat. She shoos them away and notices a bandage on the cats' forehead. She pulls it off to reveal a crescent moon. Usagi stares in awe, then rushes to school. Later that day, after scoring a 30 on a test, being kicked out of her house, and crying, she decides to take a nap. A few moments pass, and she opens her eyes to see the black cat is there! She introduces herself as Luna, and tells Usagi that she must become Sailor Moon, the soldier who will fight evil and one day protect their Moon Princess. Usagi decides that she is dreaming and goes back to sleep. Luna tells her that it's not a dream, and gives her a special broach. She tells Usagi to hold her hand up and say 'Moon Prism Power Make up!' Usagi does so, and transforms into the pretty suited soldier, Sailor Moon! ........And that's only the beginning! Usagi must also find the inner senshi, Sailors Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. This season is my personal favorite from the other 4 seasons(R, S, Super S, and Stars). Don't get me wrong, I love all 5 seasons. This would have to be my favorite because you have no idea of what will happen next. Sailor Moon is a great introduction to Anime. If you enjoy it, read the Manga series as well! I give Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon 10/10 stars. Moon Prism Power Make Up!
