We don't know exactly, since there's no verified date of when the series take place, and for anyone other than Usagi we do not even know the exact age at the start and end of it, just a range of 13 to 15.
What we do know is that the Sailor Moon series takes place over a span of 2 to 3 years. (Usagi is 14 in episode /chapter1 and 16 by the end of it). We also know that Codename wa Sailor V takes place roughly one year before Sailor Moon begins, likely a bit more (since Minako spends some time abroad and working both with the Japanese police and Interpol). Minako is 13 at the start of Sailor V.
Other than that, it's highly likely that it all takes place in the 1990s due to what we can see of the setting (most noticably the fashion). Late 80s or early 00s are somewhat feasible, but you can make a much stronger case for the mid-90s.
In other words, the girls would now be in their 40s, and we should actually be in the new Silver MIllenium by now. Don't ask me why that never happened. Something must have gone wrong.

The manga is for 14+ year-old girls. The anime was for everyone, especially at a point as late as the SuperS season. And the episode was highly comedic in nature. You worry too much.

Nakayoshi's target demographic has always included 14-16 year-olds, anon. And it's no coinicdence that Usagi is exactly 14 in chapter 1. They're clearly targeting their oldest readers and trying to get the upper end of the 12-14 bracket interested as well.
It's also a manga that ran for 5 years, which means the readers that stuck with it from the beginning were adults when it ended.
Furthermore, during its run Nakayoshi saw an unprecedented readership increase, peaking with the mugen/S arc, which strongly indicates a cross-demographic interest.

Usagi? Aspirational?
Come on, anon. She works well as an identifyable protagonist, with all her weaknesses she has to overcome. But not as a rolemodel. At least not until much later.
I recommend you read through a full Nakayoshi issue. You'll quickly notice which kind of manga is actually intended for the 7-9 year-old audience. And also which ones generally aren't. They often had horror serials, for example, intended for the 14+ demographic. Sailor Moon itself has some light body-horror.
Same can be said for Sailor V and RunRun, which was a somewhat less mainstream publication that tended to get a bit more experimental here and there. Speaking of Run Run, that's also where the Chibi-Usa Picture Diaries released, which in turn do include many elements that speak to a decidedly younger audience than the main series chapters. In case you want to see what a Sailor Moon for 9-year-olds would actually have looked like.

Can I understand the Sailor V manga without knowing much about Sailor Moon and no intention to ever read SM?

>Can I understand the Sailor V manga without knowing much about Sailor Moon and no intention to ever read SM?
Yes. Sailor V actually came first, believe it or not. They both released concurrently, and as you noted, Sailor V actually ended later than Sailor Moon. Yet it's also the shorter of the two because it released less frequently.
I'd argue that this is a good thing as it doesn't have the pacing issue the Sailor Moon manga has (which is often rushing a bit to conclude the story arcs as the TV seasons went).
>Did SM influence the manga overtime? Did it change a lot over the years?
A bit. But I'd argue that the influence was stronger the other way around. A lot of the slice-of-life elements and the monster-of-the day format and the general structure that the anime had were taken from Sailor V rather than the Sailor Moon manga.

yes. Usagi's klutzy crybaby tendencies are supposed to make her relatable, but in spite of them she still rises to the challenge and becomes a hero, which is what makes her aspirational. the little girls watching are supposes to think "she's just like me, yet she becomes so cool! I want to be just like her!"

Except she's significantly older than those little girls and deals predominantly with teenage problems. Making her the ideal self-insert for that exact demographic she herself would be part of.
By the way, Usagi is actually shown reading Nakayoshi herself several times in the anime. As an easter egg, sure, but it shows that you are off about your "7-14 target demographic".

Nah. Every chapter could provide enough material for one full episode. Just give Hikaru and Amano a bit more to do, add a henshin sequence for Minako that you can recycle if needed, prolong the fights a bit, and you get your 20-minute runtime. It's the exact episode structure the 90s anime had, and frankly, they did have way less material to work with. 12 or 13 episodes (if you combine some shorter chapters) would fit the manga's plotline very smoothly.
But I agree that the 90s would have been a better time to release something like that.

I know that this is a common sentiment, but the whole coming-of-age aspect, the fear of growing up, this whole Peter-Pan-adjacent thematic complex, is actually pretty dark if you start thinking about it. SuperS was also not too shabby for the "Inner senshi", giving each of them an episode showcasing the conflicts that come with adolescence and growing up, finding yourself and your place in society. The Minako episode in question is a good example of that.
And of course the special chapters that the girls got in the manga (of which only Ami's received an animted adaptation).
In fact, the older I get, the more I find myself defending the SuperS season and its themes as way deeper than they seem at first glance.
That being said, yes, the Chibi-Usa focus certainly was a nod to her younger fans and caused a bit of dismay with older audience members.

Not officially, as far as I know. But Minako's role changes, from a "lone ranger" to part of a team. So, even though she effectively becomes the team leader, it seems adequate to adopt the team's colour coded and somewhat simpler uniform style, and not stand out too much (especially beause Sailor V was somewhat of a celebrity with an iconic look, which might potentially distract from the team now).
Of course, it's later established that the orange uniform was her default costume from way back anyway, so maybe the question should be why Artemis didn't give her this one to begin with.
Out of universe, of course, there's a simple explanation of that: The manga was inspired by Cutie Honey, who has an iconic red/blue/gold colour scheme. Both V and Moon inherited that one.

>I wonder why there was no OVA or even spin-off about Sailor V in the 90s after the show ended or even during its run counting how big the anime was.
Everyone wonders that. The "after it ended" part can kinda be explained by Sailor Moon losing a bit of popularity towards the end, alledgedly the working relation between Takeuchi and TOEI (and also Nakayoshi) also soured a bit on the business side, and the Sailor Moon team mostly moved on to other projects (most of them ironically to another Cutie Honey series that felt a lot like another Sailor Moon season).
During its run many other manga chapters got adapted. The Chibi Usa Diaries in part, Ami's special chapter, and most famously the Kaguya-hime story.

True for the anime.
The manga design in itself stayed very consistent though. Pic related is from the magazine issue with the last chapter ever (November 1997).
What's most notable about the anime design are the orange rims of the gloves. They are, of course, part of her Sailor Venus uniform. The anime staff obviously must have known from early on that she would be part of the team and sport an orange costume.

Well, that was true for the Nakayoshi polls back in the day. But that one did have a massive main-character bias (as well as a slight newly-introduced-character bias and a curious anti-Rei bias).
I don't think Usagi herself is generally considered the favourite senshi by most people nowadays. Exactly because all the others fill specific niches that appeal to different people.

every chick I've ever spoken to about the series said she identified most with Jupiter, because of her "tomboy but not really struggle to fit in with other girls" schtick that every real girl thinks she goes through these days. Same with the handful of guys IRL I've seen admit they watched it. Jupiter, by virtue of being the most 'mature', feels the "safest" to like I guess. The only people I've seen say like Mars are a sect of schizoids who lose their minds whenever they see someone say she's shit. Venus is too similar to Moon so only autists care to make the distinction between them, and Venus usually gets picked by contrarians who think Moon is too 'mainstream' as a result. the nerdy quiet refined bookworm has never been an archetype that was all that popular in the west, but it is pretty popular in Japan (Mercury typically is the highest-rated Scout in Japan), so the westerners who prefer her trend towards weebery. the sort who were watching fansubs of the series back during the VHS days, and therefore probably would be oldfags. That's why I would say Mercury is the 4chan choice, at least for oldfags. Schizoid newfags (I repeat myself) probably trend towards Mars.

Saturn is arguably the originator of the slang term 'moe', so she definitely has fans. but Mercury gets like 20x the screentime and character development so it's inevitable she'll outrank one of the two least-utelised scouts.

Great episode. I can only reiterate that episodes 100-109 has to be the greatest run of 10 back-to-back-episodes ever. That encompasses two Minako episodes (100 and109), the Usagi birthday double (101 and 102), my own very favourite episode (108) which has some of the best comedic moments, and almost the whole Eudial arc (103-109).

Generally I'd say they're adults, though in the Live Action Luna was specifically supposed to be the same age as the rest of the girls.
But if you're looking for a number, uh, they're pretty fucking old since they weren't reincarnated, rather put in stasis by Queen Serenity.
And the fall of the Silver Millennium happened during the mythological Golden Age of Man, almost 3 whole Yugas ago.

No, not really. None of the girls really has a different personality depending on their costume.
You could argue that they deal with high stress (battle) situations differently than they do with everyday stuff, and that is somewhat accurate. But it's also true (for all of them) that all the traits they display in their role as senshi can be frequently observed in their everyday lives as well.

I don't believe there's conclusive evidence either way. Certain details do imply that they get stronger, to a super-human level even. Like jump heights and distances, at least if we take the anime's depictions literally.
>in other episodes they completely rely on their power attacks
Them prefering their special "magical" skills more frequently can be explained by the higher force, area impact and side effects those attacks have. Setting something on fire might be more effective than hitting it, even if the physical hit is very strong. Binding someone in chains is more versatile than a high-force kick. Electrocuting something can do more measured damage than a fatal blow. And bubbles ... yeah, okay, bubbles are just useless.

>SuperS in particular was the season where the executives went all-in on pursuing the toddler audience
SuperS is actually arguably the darkest and most sexual season yet, besides everything this anon says here >>283196044 it’s the only season where the villains target the VOTD in a full on date rape scenario allegory. It also has the most fanservice and pedo pandering, with Chibiusa showing her bare naked chest to a blushing pervert Pegasus, the age-switch episode, and two episodes where the Amazon Trio outright target and hit on prepubescent kids Chibiusa’s age. The Quartet’s outfits are also pretty skeevy for girls who are only supposed to be a little older than Chibiusa.

Even the whole Pegasus/Chibiusa plot was originally supposed to function as a more kid friendly proto Utena/Akio grooming situation until Ikuhara was forced to rein it in by both the Toei Suits and Naoko. It’s why Pegasus’s behavior seems so schizo throughout the season, and he genuinely comes across as creepy and predatory at times. The entire theme of SuperS is meant to be Puberty and sexual awakening and how to healthily deal with one’s burgeoning hormones as they’re growing up, all done under the child-friendly metaphorical veneer of “Dreams.”

Fish-Eye also best girl (male), he’s vastly underrated for being one of the more nuanced and psychologically complex villains of the anime, he’s also the only villain who actually deserved their redemption and worked hard to achieve it and change themselves rather than simply being redeemed after Sailor Moon or one of the Senshi performs a talk no jutsu.

Well, Minako was marketable enough to turn her own manga one-shot into a series and also kickstart a whole spinoff to Sailor V that continued for 5 years and even got an anime. The reason that spinoff got a different kind of sprotagonist has arguably more to do with relatability than marketability.

As the other anon said, it's not a "deconstruction", going by the actual definition of that word.
I'd go as far as to say that Madoka also is not a rip-off. While it does borrow some major elements from Sailor Moon and several other manga and anime of the genre (the cute "mascot" betraying the heroes had been done before and better in Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, for example), it did have an overall unique plotline, which is enough to make it it's own thing. Otherwise you might as well say that Evangelion was a ripoff of Sailor Moon (and Mazinger and GUndam and several other things). Or accuse Sailor Moon or Sailor V being a ripoff of different things (like for example Cutie Honey).

Now where you do have a point is that Madoka is often treated as some kind of outlier in how dark and brutal it is, and that sentiment is completely unwarranted if you do know the history of the genre.

No. I don't think so. She herself said precious little about her sources.
Also, the Sentai elements only came into Sailor Moon (the team aspect) and mostly a collaborative effort with the early anime team. Sailor V is pretty much just the Cutie Honey formula played straight (straighter than Cutie Honey ever did it before CH Flash came out and took a good chuck of the - same but improved - Sailor Moon formula).
Also, it stands to reason that the kind of "magical girl" the senshi are didn't exist before Sailor V. Up to that point "mahou shoujo" had generally been more about magical hijinks in everyday situations, not about fighting evil forces.

No. That's not what deconstruction means at all. That's a subversion.
The term "deconstruction", as coined by Derrida, describes a process of taking a story apart into its most basic building blocks, analyizing said building blocks and then using the new information gained to rearrange the them into a new whole that contains some new knowledge about the thing you started with. It's a hermeneutic concept, i.e. something a reader does to gain understanding of a text.
A text itself can be deconstructive if it itself uses means of deconstruction to push its reader to further engage in the process. Such works are rare and usually not very mainstream.

Big question there, as far the anime goes.
S1 Beryl is kinda lame and so are half of the heavenly kings, that really only leaves Nephrite and Zoisite. I will give it to the former for having a cooler arc even if he isn't as entertaining as the latter.
For R honestly everyone except Rubeus and Wiseman is a good answer but the correct one is either Koan or Berthier from ayakashi sisters. Black Lady was a great concept but unfortunately screwed up the execution on multiple points, could have been the best in the entire series.
We all know what's the answer for S, obviously Eudial.
SuperS not even worth mentioning here.
Stars ironically enough is a toss up between Galaxia herself or the returning Nehellenia who somehow became much more batshit here than in her own series.

If I have to pick only one then let it be Eudial for being such a massive threat(she nearly killed the outers and matched the inner senshis easily enough were it not for the deux ex machina) along with a good design and funny shenanigans all at once.

Madoka rendered the entire Magical Girl genre obsolete, that’s why barely any new ones are being made anymore because it went and exposed all the flaws of the genre.

Wanting deconstructions/subversions over tropes being played straight isn’t being pretentious “not like other girls,” it’s preferring complex and nuanced story-telling instead of childish and naive wish-fulfillment slop that turns your brain to mush.

Subversion is exactly what pretentious pseuds think counts as "deep", in reality it's a cheap trick that preys on people who haven't ever interacted with a genre much but somehow think they have figured out what's all about. Bonus pseud points if it has a "dark and mature" atmosphere, so it can also be praised for reveling into it's own depravity as opposed to throwing in these elements in a more careful and meaningful way.

A German brewery sponsored that one. No minimum drinking age in Germany.

Classic consolation prize. Because it can dry your tears. Get it?
Also a nice throwaway product that you can print your logo on to advertise, if you are, say, a German brewery.

Does the SM manga have any nudity?
Is Minako more interesting in the SM manga than she is in the SM anime? I like her a lot but I feel she wasn't given a full enough personality in the anime like she does in Sailor V

It was only an issue in the first season, latter seasons will let you see more of Minako's character.
Anyway, as for the manga the answer is always no, the inner senshis don't get anything there.

>Does the SM manga have any nudity?
Kinda. It's not very explicit, but it exists to the same level as in Sailor V.

>Is Minako more interesting in the SM manga than she is in the SM anime?
General rule of thumb is that all the characters (except maybe for Usagi, Mamoru and Chibi-Usa) are less developed in the manga compared to the anime. It basically had to wrap up each story arc within a year (~12 chapters) where the anime had 40 episodes on average. That means there's much less slice-of-life, less comedy, and overall a much tighter story structure.
Manga Minako does have a few highlights though, and in contrast to the Sailor V manga and most of the anime those highlights reveal a bit more about her leadership role and paint her in a somewhat tougher light. Generally speaking, those facettes of her personality can be found across the board (in Sailor V and the anime), but the Sailor Moon manga makes them a bit more obvious.

>I feel she wasn't given a full enough personality in the anime
In that case I recommend the following episodes for a Minako-focused rewatch:
33, 42 (important backstory).
52, 65, 78 (very entertaining), 79.
92, 100, 109, 114.
133, 141, 154.
175, 192.

If you don't have that much time to invest, the digest version would be: 42, 52, 78, 100, 109, 141.

If you were physically hit by a senshi, like a punch, would it penetrate right through you or would you explode into bits right on the spot due to sheer force?

To be fair Mercury's bubbles were intended for support.
But latter on she gains water attacks and they work as well as the rest.

Unless you're standing against a wall, a great physical force would generally propell you in its direction rather than penetrate you. Imagine getting hit by a bus; you wouldn't just keep standing in place and get squished between the bus and the air behind you, would you?
Now, of course, what kind of injuries such a force might cause to your body is a different question. And, if we assume the same force that lets the senshi jump 20 meters high coming at you, concentrated in a fist-sized impact point, you'd probably have many external and internal ruptures of different kind.

She gets better from late R onwards and becomes more like her Sailor V self. The problem is that for most of Classic and early R she was kinda a blank slate and Toei didn’t know what to do with her because so few Sailor V chapters had been released and they didn’t have a good grasp on her personality, plus the fact they had already given her leader role to Ikuhara’s waifu Rei.

Kinda fair. But by the time Ami gets her water splash and freezing bubbles attacks, those are already outmatched by Michiru's ability to unleash her "giant tsunami that completely submerges the enemy under tons of water" attack.

The Dream arc and the short stories anyone? Minako also gets her leader of the Inners status (plus her own sword and kill of Beryl) that’s lost in the anime.

And if we’re counting Sailor V as part of the manga then she’s a better character than her anime counterpart all around.

She's pretty much the same character, I'd say. Different aspects of her personality in focus, but over all she's incredibly consistent across media.
As for counting the Sailor V manga, that works for Minako (and Artemis), but not for most of the other Inner Senshi, who besically only get one or two bonus chapters and the one SuperS focus chapter in the manga.

Why? We know practically nothing about Rei's father in the anime, and from the manga we only know that he's a carreer politician, rich and not really a caring father to Rei. I doubt he'd want to meet her friends, let alone get in a situation where one of them flirting with him could affect his public image.

Other than her obsession with Mamoru, manga Pluto doesn't really get that much development.
Hotaru, well, depends. I'd say the Mugen arc in the anime handles her pretty well overall. Not any worse than the manga.
Galaxia and Beryl I do grant you, but even most of the villains get much more attention in the anime.

Well. That's as far as she had planned, originally. She originally wanted to kill the girls off. Osa-P talked her out of that. Then she wanted to kill off just Ami (the literal robot girl). Osa-P talked her out of that as well.
Then TOEI killed off all the girls in the season 1 finale. She was miffed about that.
