As has become tradition with the Sailor Moon anime, when a new season starts, a new opening credits is created. What sets this set of credits apart from all the previous credits used in the anime though is that in five seasons this is the first time a song other than Moonlight Densetsu had been used.

The song is called Sailor Star Song and what's really cool is that unlike Moonlight Densetsu, Sailor Star Song's lyrics were written by the creator of Sailor Moon herself, Naoko Takeuchi!

Visually there's a lot shown in these credits offering a lot for fans to dissect. Of special note is the shot of Sailor Moon and the Inners turning into balls of energy and flying to what appears to be the Galaxy Cauldron. This is interesting because the Galaxy Cauldron only appears in the manga and musicals and even in those continuities the Inners never go as a group to the Cauldron (and even then only Sailor Mercury ever makes it in one musical).

Something else worth thinking about is the shot of the angelic figure flying up into the sky who could possibly be Sailor Cosmos, the ultimate form of Sailor Moon in the manga. For the first half of Sailor Stars it appeared as if the writers were following the manga and leading up to the revelation that Chibi Chibi was Sailor Cosmos/Moon but then out of the blue they changed direction and made her the "Light of Hope" (aka Galaxia's Star Seed).

Could there have been a different direction planned for the season's storyline that contained more elements from the manga? It wouldn't be the first time story elements had been changed after being shown in the opening credits.
