I’ve never actually properly seen all the opening sequences, so I wasn’t quite sure what to put on the poll (there’s probably more than 8 anyway), since there appears to be different ones through a certain season too.
When I watched the Super Series, it was in Cantonese, so they had the same opening sequence for the whole series- the complete one with all the senshi. I thought it was interesting when I saw a picture of the last shot that didn't have SuperSailormoon, Chibimoon, or Pluto, (It had the Inner Senshi, Sailormoon, Tuxedomask and Uranus and Neptune) so I found out they must of had a different sequence for both parts of the series. It wasn't until I downloaded an episode 102, when I realised the opening was actually different!! I should have known, since there were slight changes to the opening of SuperS season (one with the 3 guys and the 4 girls). Similarly with Stars Season.
I was really amazed actually ^^; Hotaru, Chibimoon, Pluto and SuperSailormoon didn’t appear in the opening sequence …When I first watched the Super Series, I got to see them all..and it was like “wow..can’t wait o see them all” I guess it was supposed to be a surprise : )
Is there actually a separate opening for Ail and Ann part for R??

That poll is evol.. its too hard to decide XD But probably Super...but every opening had its wonderful impact on me when I watched them XD Same here... I wish I watched it in chronological order >.> Its a wonderful sequence  I guess im a little bias, since I loved the Super series with the outer senshi... But yeh, tis MAD! SuperS opening was pretty Liked the parts with Chibiusa and Pegasus.. esp that last part where it shows them standing there in the dream world :3 The SailorStars season cover was also really cool... too bad the outers didnt appear... not even chibichibi XD Loved the change in music... just seemed so much advanced with Sailormoon in Eternal. Is there actually a separate opening for Ail and Ann part for R?? That..I doubt~ I dont think so... since it didnt show it on the Anime Artbooks.. |

Super all the way! lol - I like when Neptune and Uranus whizz across the screen.... and also when they close up on them attacking (but sailor moon gets in the way dancing in the middle  ) I prefer the Stars opening theme though. Did the Super opening and closing sequences change at the same time?? I actually didn't notice the change of opening sequence until you mentioned it, then I was, like, 'yeah actually it did!' but the ending was too big a change. I think that was cause I'd not seen Super til I bought the box set, and the changes happen from the start of disc 2 I think.... Usagi looked kinda cute as she was walking, but the second one had the senshi as princesses looking lovely, so I dunno... the second one I guess... |

Season 1 - I find, this was to showy. I mean, they had the most random stuff, like flowers and odd backgrounds. The first one did have some neat parts, like when Moon, Mercury and Mars are floating down with those cape thingies. The second opening kind of wrecked it, since as soon as Jupiter came, they showed the Moon Princess and Minako/Venus. I did like the one scene in the opening when all the inners are holding up their henshin sticks, and do a quick henshin and fall down to their feet. That was cool. Season 2 - Actually there is 2 openings aswell. The first one was kind of stupid... it really didn't have much to do with the first 2 parts of R. The second opening was very cool, we saw SAILOR PLUTO XD and the big bads and the time gate. Oddly Pluto had a grey skirt on and that is why Sailor Pluto dolls in Canada had a silver skirt. That opening was neat, it showed the future royalty and was just neat. Season 3 - There was some diffrence in the two openigns, but not like MEGA diffrent. I did like the second one better, we got Pluto, Hotaru and Super Sailor Moon. My favorite part of the these openings is when the inners plus Uranus and Neptune do their attacks, and its tinted the skirt color, that was just really my favorite part. I like the ending, they had like 3 versions of the ending, one with out the outers, one with Uranus and Neptune, one with Chibiusa and Pluto and Super Sailor Moon... Season 4 - I must say, the second version of this, with the super senshi and the Amazon 4 was my favorite, and I voted for it. I know, I hate SuperS but I loved their opening! It is the only opening to be fully shown Dubbed, yep, CWI used the full second SuperS opening, they didn't even censer out the naked senshi at the start. Sadly, they wrecked the amazon 4 apeprance... But anyways, still my favorite opening. I did like the Chibiusa Pegasus dance part. Season 5 - ...No, I really didn't like this one. WHERE ARE THE OUTER SENSHI!?!?! I mean, the opening had some cool parts but it really needed the outer senshi, I mean, Saturn needed to be in at least 1 opening... Here is a link to the opening clips: eternalsailormoon.org/movies/openings.htmlSailor Moon had 3, Sailor Moon R had 2, Sailor Moon S had 3, Sailor Moon SS had 2, Sailor Moon Stars has 2. |

The first had Usagi walking and 'Otome no Policy' was the music, the second was to 'Tuxedo Mirage' and was a window with pretty shots of the senshi in princessy dresses...
I didn't know there were 3 Super openings either - I checked today and the first episode on my collection has Super Sailor Moon and Neptune and Uranus posing at the end....

You may download some of the closing clips from my affiliate Mystical Senshi.com Just make sure you read the rules before downloading them ^^ www.mysticalsenshi.com/mpgendings.phpIt makes it clear here that Usagi running is R ending, not Super series. |

lol  then I dunno what's going on cause I have an entire disc of S that ends with Usagi running, although the credits roll in English, not Japanese - so perhaps they kept it as otome no policy for a little longer in this version?? |

Being as obsessed as I am, I downloaded all the opening clips, and rewatched them all in chronological order.. and its actually quite hard to pick (even tho I picked Super opening) I havent watched the Original/R season opens much (cause I watched the dub for those seasons) Anyhows, I discovered something! I didn't realise before..lol.. In the SuperS first opening, all the senshi are just wearing their original outfit throughout the sequence.. and only in the 2nd opening do we actually see them in "Super" senshi outfits Also, the part where each senshi makes an appearance, they're holding onto their new tranformation sticks (which they previously didn't) hehe.. I wonder if thats what u meant ^^;; when you said "super senshi": Season 4 - I must say, the second version of this, with the super senshi and the Amazon 4 was my favorite, and I voted for it. |

Yep^^ I really like how they made that small change from normal to super. Some, like you, didn't notice. It's just so neat, really. I think they should of done that for Sailor Moon and Chibimoon in the first couple of episodes, not to spoil the super thing.
Okay, Sailor Moon R 2 isnt my favorite, but has my favorite clip with Sailor Pluto floating, Luna P swings behind her and Chibiusa comes up with the time key. Very cool, very first glimps of Pluto!
