Sailor Moon’s roles are obsolete
Sailor Moon has female empowerment but maintains old -fashioned ideas
It’s easy to think Sailor As a revolutionary animal, everything about the power of girls, but the anime of the 90s has often reinforced the stereotypes dated as regards women.

Sailor Moon has often sexualized his characters
It is easier to see the overcountization of Sailor Moon as an adult
The 90s Sailor The adaptation of anime often contained scenes that too much sexualized its minor protagonists, in particular according to today’s standards.

A first episode was literally entitled “Learn to be skinny from Usagi”, and he focused on his apparent body dysmorphia. The episode was full of terrible ideas and messages, especially for the impressionable youth that composed Sailortarget audience.
When Usagi weighs after a bath and realizes that she won half a pound, she is completely devastated. Her family comforts her and tells her to do more exercise, despite her thin to start. Worse still, his beloved companion and mentor feline, Luna, attracts an image of a big sailor moon, further strengthening the attitudes of the series with regard to anyone who does not correspond to a specific standard of beauty which seems impossible to reach the average person.

The Sailor Guardians suffer from a typical anime trope
The strongest characters of Sailor Moon have strangely ineffective powers

However, even if the guards strengthen and learn to better control their powers, they are often sidelined in the fight, forcing Usagi to enter and clean at the end.

Sailor Mars was a rather toxic character
Rei is much wicked than his manga counterpart in Sailor Moon

The utopia of Sailor Moon in the 30th century, Crystal Tokyo, is governed by neo-Queen serenity. But why don’t citizens do not make its past like Usagi Tsukino?
Always, SailorThe scenes can feel quite annoying on a recovery by seeing Chibiusa constantly try to steal the attention of Mamoru Usagi and divert him to herself. The series also does not deal with the strange dynamics that the two have, and none of the other characters seems to recognize correctly how unusual it is.

Mamoru and Usagi had a big age gap
The romance of Mamoru & Usagi was crucial for Sailor Moon’s Story
With SailorThe conceptions of highly stylized characters, it is easy for the characters to appear similar at the same time that there is a big difference in their age. It was actually the case for Usagi and Mamoru, with SailorThe main interest of love being about 17 to 18 years old, while Usagi was only 14 years old. The few years between the two of them would not feel so disturbing if they were both adults, but with Usagi being so young, it feels like there is sometimes a power imbalance.
