What are the five series?Contrary to some rumors, there are five and only five series. They are:
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon R (Two parts to this in the anime)
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Super S
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Sailor Stars
From the witches five, how do you spell the last two names?
Cyprine is pretty much set, but there are many different spellings for her twin including Pechiurl, Pieturl, Pecheruial, Peteral, or Pichurl. Personally though, I use Pichurl. The english anime uses Peteral, and the english manga uses "Petite Roll." However, I believe the official spelling is Ptilol.
What's with the 'cousin' thing when people talk about Uranus and Neptune?
They were originally lesbians, but since American TV can't take homosexuality, we decided to make them cousins. We could have made them best friends or something, but cousins...then they made up stuff like "Hi I'm Amara / Michelle, I've been insperable from my cousin since birth!" NOT TRUE. Haruka and Michiru, according to the anime, met soon before S started. The dubbing company, Cloverway, did a terrible job of covering it, so they made it look like incest. So homosexualty = bad, incest = good, huh Cloverway? If you want funnier and more details on the whole "cousinfest", go to Sailor Moon Uncensored's S season comparisons.
What series is it when they fight Chaos? Or is that just a movie?
This is most certainly not a movie. The three movies are Sailor Moon R, Sailor Moon S, and Sailor Moon Super S. The season is the fifth and final season, Sailor Moon Sailor Stars. In the manga, this is tankoubens 16-18 (Acts 42-52), and in the anime episodes 167-200. Although, the first six episodes feature Queen Nehellenia, and Sailor Moon Sailor Stars technically starts when one of the the Sailor Animamates, Sailor Iron Mouse, appears in episode 173. The Anime didn't do a very good job following the Manga though, so what we got is a basic story line with two different stories.
Are Uranus and Neptune lovers or cousins?
Well, it depends on whether you're talking about the dubbed version or the original. In the original Japanese version of Sailor Moon, they are lovers. Not only are there lots of hints as to why and dialouge bits such as this from SailorStars:
Neptune: I think you eat too many sweets these days...
Uranus: I never listen to that kind of talk outside of a bed.
As well as the fact that Naoko Takeuchi (Sailor Moon's creator) said so. In the Cloverway dub, however, Uranus and Neptune became cousins.
Is SailorStars going to come out in English in the United States?
As far as everyone knows, no.
Will there be a any more seasons of sailor moon? Like ..Season 6?
Nope. The Sailor Moon anime is done.
