The first season of Sailor Moon, sometimes unofficially referred to as Sailor Moon Classic by fans, adapts the first story arc from the manga that features the awakening of Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter and their first encounters with Tuxedo Mask,
Compared to later seasons, the first has a kind of super hero vibe to it at first with Sailor Moon gaining her super hero powers, investigating evil bases and even using her magical powers to disguise herself to aid in her infiltrations. As the season progresses though and the concepts of long lost loves and reincarnation are introduced the show develops a more mature edge and gave it the depth that has made it as popular as it is and more than likely secured the production of the next four seasons, the movies and the numerous other offshoots that have made Sailor Moon one of the most enduring anime licenses ever created.
The Episodes
Missing EpisodesDuring the adaption process, several episodes were famously cut from the English version of the Sailor Moon anime. For more information on this and my speculation about the reason for the cuts, check out my Moonie Mailbag article related to this very matter.

Opening and Closing CreditsThroughout the first season of the Sailor Moon anime and it's different releases, several opening and closing credits were used. Here you'll find detailed summaries of each credits accompanied by screencaps of each one. Enjoy!

BumpersIn the original Japanese version of Sailor Moon, small bumpers, also referred to as "eyecatches" by fans, were included before and after commercial breaks. These were excluded when the show was adapted for an English release most likely due to the cheese factor that many of these bumpers posess. Here they are though for your enjoyment.
