Sailor Moon Is an Icon, And Her '90s Anime Did Something Few Other Shows Dared

Naoko Takeuchi’s world-famous Sailor Moon series is widely considered one of the most iconic anime of the 90s. The adventures of Serena/Usagi as she battles to protect the universe from the forces of darkness inspired an entire generation of children to fight for what was right. The show was a pioneer in various aspects, like incredible LGBTQ+ representation, strong female leads, and a complete overhaul of the usual Shojo tropes.
One of the innovations that fans do not often consider is the insistence on the series of showing that even the most heinous of villains could be redeemed. The anime series did an amazing job teaching younger audiences that there was good inside everyone. This is a teaching that the original manga did not explore in depth, making the changes in the show that much more special.
