Hasn't been the case in forever now. But on the topic of magical girls, I just decided to finally watch one of the big classics start to finish.
>Anime
>Sailor Moon(90s Original to Stars, movies included)
Came in for the 90s anime shenanigans, stayed because it delivered exactly that. Quality can vary wildly between seasons, but I thought that the concept overall is always cool, the girls are cute, animation is acceptable(but notably dated) and yeah it deserved its popularity. Really like the humor and all the whimsical stuff, each episode promises to be entertaining. It has a lot of filler but it's not a real issue when the filler in question is sovlful as fuck.
Usagi is best girl of her own show, her character carried the fuck out of the entire thing because she is fucking CUTE and absolutely RETARDED. The other girls are all fine, some cute side characters as well. Villains are generally interesting aside from SuperS, shout outs to the Black Moon Clan.
On the other hand, the daughter from the future is a Scrappy-Doo-tier character here, giving her an entire season literally killed this anime before, and for good reasons. Annoying mix of coming across as an unlikeable brat most of the time, and the writers shoving her in your face for an entire season but without doing anything more interesting than her R's Black Lady transformation.
Other than Chibiusa and SuperS, my only other major complaint is about the fights. There are a very large amount of them, pretty much one in each episode, yet 90% of them are just really dry, unspectacular, boring, repetitive, feels like a waste of some nice monster designs. The 10% is only okay at best, mostly covers boss fights or that one mook who ends up having a better sequence than everyone else. Don't watch this expecting enjoyable combat, it's not the appeal.

Haven't read in a long while. So I decided to focus my post on the anime instead.
