Really difficult. I’m just taking here into account the “storyline”. So it will be the last season, because it’s seem than Naoko knew from the beginning which direction she was getting at. Because it’s the reunion of all Sailors, the super form etc...

But I really really like the last episodes of the second season (so much better than the old anime version!)

I chose “Black Moon” because it felt like a very mature season, they animated some spine-chilling scenes from the manga (you know which ones), Sailor Pluto was amazing, and my favorite scene of “Crysternal” so far is the one that shows Neo-Queen Serenity and Sailor Moon seeing each other, face-to-face.

The Artstyle would be Black Moon. I also like how the story is far darker than the Dark Kingdom. We got nuns burning and much more.

Death Busters was good. I keep thinking about that goofy/creepy scene where Mistress 9's eyeballs were moving all over the place.

For me, art style and story = Black Moon

Mistress 9 merging with Pharaoh 90 and Kaolinite turning into a Daimon were great, but those scenes from season 3 still don’t top the ghastly scenes from the Black Moon arc.

Crystal‘s scenes that have impact

Season 1
Beryl covering her face like a vampire and turning into dust as she remembers Endymion—you feel bad about her and the visual effects were pretty good, it looks like she is a stone decomposing into dust.

Season 2
When they arrive in the future and see what is left of the planet, e.g. corpses.

Season 3
Mistress 9‘s merging with Pharaoh 90.

For me it goes like this:
Season 1 : Beryl and Kunzite takimg Mamoru away. These screams were amazing and the whole act 9 was great

Season 2 : Pluto's death and Black Lady reaction. It still gives me chills.

Season 3 : Hotaru becomes Mistress 9 and takes Chibi Usa's Silver Crystal. Still gives me chills.


Overall if you binge-watch Crystal, it really makes a greater impact. Dead Busters is the best story-wise, but I have never been a fan of the artstyle. Black Moon was, artstyle-wise the best in my opinion, so I go with it, even though it is the weakest arc when it comes ti story.
Eternal, so far though, from all the leaks we saw, while not perfect, will still have a lot of great scenes and adapting my favourite Dream Arc, so I am fairly certain the poll will look different once it is out.

Dream Arc part 1 is alright, Dream Arc part 2 is pretty good. The trailers look exceptional, so I am very enthusiastic about the 2nd Dream film. Good thing it has been a while since I have read the Dream arc.

Stars deconstructed the magical girl genre before Madoka did, Stars is the best arc in my opinion—and if it gets a faithful adaptation, I think it’s gonna top all the previous arcs.

I know I'm in the minority, but Dark Kingdom for the tragic, but triumphant, romance. I'm a sucker for melodrama okay? (And I believe I've made my feelings for Waifu Queen Beryl clear.)

Season 3 for me too. I totally disliked S1 because of art direction and also because I can’t stand anymore S1 plot, we have seen this in so many versions... On the other hand Black Moon chapter was better than Crystal S1, story is significantly better in Crystal than SMR for this part and the art was a little better than S1 imo.
