Chibiusa & Mamoru’s relationship in current borders on unhealthy
Chibiusa has an Electra complex for her young father
Chibiusa appeared in Sailor Season 2, arriving from the future Crystal Tokyo in the 30th century after the Black Moon clan attacked his house and a seriously injured neo-Queen serenity. While seeming to be a 5 -year -old child, Chibiusa turns out to be almost 900 years old, his intellectual maturity and his emotional intelligence fluctuating between the two ages quite frequently. Before going to the past, she had not yet awakened as a sailor’s goalkeeper, which helped train her own insecurity.
Despite the fact that Usagi and Mamoru are her parents, Chibiusa remains resistant to the formation of a relationship with Usagi. With Mamoru, however, she develops a kind of affection that borders the romantic, which turns out to be problematic given their father-daughter relationship. This attraction with Mamoru in the past does not reflect the relationship it has with King Endymion in the futureWith many uncomfortable fans with the Electra complex given to the Sailor Guardian with pink hair.

Mamoru intimidated Usagi when they first met
Mamoru called Usagi “Bunhead” like an insult
Mamoru and Usagi initially meet during SailorThe first episode, Usagi, leaving a jewelry store because it is not able to buy any of the jewels at a reduced price. She deplores her latest test score, thinking that if she had only marked better, her parents could have given her money to buy something. By getting angry with the supposed injustice of all this, she hit the test in a bullet and throws it behind it, only for the Wadded Up test to hit Mamoru on top of the head.
Usagi apologizes, but Mamoru takes advantage of both to insult the bad Usagi test score and put pressure on the “Bunhead” insultHelping Usagi to the point where she stars. Thus begins their strange relationship, with the intimidation of Mamoru and the depreciation of Usagi at various times. For an anime built on the premise of the empowerment of women, the choice to have Mamoru introduce by intimidating his love interest begins a problematic behavior, in a way that undermines the message that the anime wishes to transmit and in a way the moments dramatic between Sailor Moon and Toxedo mask.

Nephrite & Naru’s relationship is a controversial choice
The age gap and manipulation prompted the concerns of viewers
In Sailor The series, and especially in the previous seasons before Sailor Moon joins with the other Sailor Guardians, Usagi and Naru were closest to friends.

The Sailor Guardians sacrificed themselves in the fight against Queen Beryl
The deaths of the guards were shown in detail
In the final battle between Queen Beryl and the Sailor Guardians, the source material of manga and the original anime divergent, the anime adopting a different path to see Sailor Moon finally defeated Queen Metalia.

The characterization of Rei underwent a net change from the manga to the anime
Rei joined Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury as the third Global sailor’s goalkeeper and the second Usagi ally, with his powers while Sailor Mars unlocks just in time to save Rei from a terrible spell. Again Sailor Manga fans quickly realized that the anime Rei had a different personality from the manga rei. In the manga, Rei tended to act with exception, standing with a refined grace of her time as a young girl of sanctuary. However, in the original anime, Rei tended to act with strongly, often flying from the handle and responding with hostility towards Usagi.

At the base, Sailor Attempts to raise young girls, giving them a beautiful model that cares about fighting for good and justice while kissing femininity. To this end, the anime was the pioneer of a certain number of tropes now generally associated with the magical genre of girls, transformation sequences into beautifully designed outfits.
However, in many cases of anime, The poses and the angles obviously involve the male look in a way that objects the young female characters. This is incredibly problematic for a series of anime intended to empower and inspire young women, because some of these elements feel more intended to attract an older male audience. This creates a strong dissonance between the planned message of the anime and the form used to transmit this message, the disharmony undergoing the progress that the message aims to transmit.

The Sailor Starlights were changed for men in the anime Sailor Moon
Only women were supposed to be sailor guards
In the last season of SailorUsagi and the Sailor Guardians meet the Sailor Starlights, a group of warriors from the Kinmoku planet who came in search of their Princess Kakyuu on Earth after Sailor Galaxia destroyed their house. In the anime, the Sailor starlights are represented as men in their civil forms and their women in their forms of sailor’s guardian, but this arrangement deviates from the manga, which represented them as women in the two identities. They made the writing as men in order to disguise themselves from the Galactica shadow, the friends of Sailor Galaxia, but the choice to modify their sex could be considered problematic.
Throughout SailorOne of the fundamental principles of the series focuses on the intersection of femininity and strength, arguing that these ideals do not necessarily excuse each other. The decision to modify the stars of sailor, to give them a male strength when the guards of the sailors were supposed to be women, has undermined the work previously established during the previous seasons, while irrevocably modifying one of the members SailorThe most underestimated characters.

Usagi & Mamoru’s age gap is controversial
Usagi is in college while Mamoru is in college
Mamoru’s female relationships tend to accommodate all kinds of problematic elements, with the link of her lover with Usagi, which also proves his just part of controversy. In the original Sailor Anime, Mamoru turns out to be a university student, while Usagi is still in college. This gives them at least 3 to 4 years of an age gap, which led many fans to recognize that the much younger Usagi is probably not a person that Mamoru should have continued romantically.
The net differences in the ages, especially in an anime intended for young girls of an impressionable age, were a painful place between their lasting love since the initial dissemination of the anime. THE Sailor The franchise tries to soften the striking difference in the ages by exceeding it with more backgroundin which viewers learn that Usagi and Mamoru were once in love who were passed like the tragic princess serenity and Prince Endymion. But still, in the present, and for an unusual audience to such differences in the ages, the decision to have Mamoru has much older than USAGI has extinguished numerous animated viewers.
