I am just wondering what you all think. Sailor Moon was a great anime, but I am sure we can all agree that it strayed from the manga quite a bit....especially in the SuperS and Stars arcs. Would it be nice (and I know that it probably wouldn't happen) if they would make 5 OAV's, 3 breaking up the 3 villians in the first arc, one for SuperS and one for Stars where it followed the plot of the manga more closely. I would love to see the Amazoness Quartet in action on screen, or the death of Pluto...returning Small Lady to her real, unbrainwashed self.

Although it has been highly debated, Chibi chibi is spoiler[in fact Sailor Cosmos. Who is the most powerful senshi period. In turn, Sailor Cosmos is believed to be the future and final form of Sailor Moon. She gains this power sometime after she is queen, although it is never really explained how (I wish she would write an arc for it.) In the final book of Stars, Sailor Ceres (I believe) asks Chibi Chibi if she is in fact Sailor Cosmos, the final form of Sailor Moon. Also, I believe it's in the second book of Stars where Usagi asks Chibi Chibi who she is, and she answers "I am I." Many people feel that she is hinting that she is in fact Usagi. ] However no one is 100% sure since the author does not come right out and say it in black and white. Chibi Chibi is another character that isn't done justice in the anime, and another reason I would like to see an OAV that is done true to the manga.

Tohru_San has it right. spoiler[Sailor Cosmos was so emotionally battered by the final war and the loss of all that she loved, she became Chibi Chibi and went back into the past to try and change some events. But the strength of Eternal Sailor Moon made her realize that she too can be strong and make it through the hard times. It had been so long, Cosmos just forgot what sort of strength she truly had.]

That's what I thought, there were a lot of rumours floating around about chibi chibi and it made it confusing.

For all the flack people give it, Sailor Moon was really a great manga series. It was cutesy, but it also got down to business when it had to. I mean, just look at the hell she put Saturn through. There are so many things in the Stars arc that were written about that could have led to more chapters. I know that Ms. Takeuchi has moved on to other projects, but I still hold on to faint hope that she might one day start a fresh story on the Sailor Moon line. Even if it was a spin off where ChibiUsa was the star with the Amazoness Quartet.
