1. State the grades or years the girls are in and why Mina, Lita are taking High school entrance exams with Serena and Amy who seem to be younger.
2. Give the Scouts there own story-lines.
3. get rid of the monster of the week format or slightly reduce it.
4. Shift the focus off Serena slightly what are the other scouts lives like.
5. Don't include annoying as RINI.

All 5 girls are in the same grade, it doesn't take a genius. Just because you think that Serena and Amy are younger doesn't mean they are. Lia is suppose to be tall for a girl.
The show is called Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon not Bishoujo Senshis. They had their own plotlines in the original anime.
Unless they only adapt the Dark Kingdom arc she's kind of necessary.

You are way too rude and self-righteous to be condescending others. We're on a Sailor Moon message board for gawd's sake. Show us that you actually learned something from the show and stop being such a b*i@h.
shareoverall i would enjoy a more mature series. The monster of the week format is really outdated as the story arcs in the manga should've been the primary focus. If they could explore more of the history of the moon kingdom and how the senshi system works, i'd like that too.
Also an explanation of what exactly happened to the earth in the 20th century to crate the new-moon kingdom.
I'm not even going to argue with that person. lol
I agree with you Byhisnood the orginal series and the monster of the weed format is annoyingI prefer the way stars was handled at least the first 5 episodes.

Yeah you are wrong about the girls being in different grades. Its like Jbiebz said they are all the same age. In the anime by the time stars rolls around Makoto actually gets the appropriate uniform and I believe Minako transfers to the same school so the only one of them that doesn't match is Rei because she still goes to a different school.

Okay well then I'm wrong. They need to fix this in the anime then.

I think the only thing I would have to agree with is reducing the monster of the week formula or at least work on doing it better. Personally I think the focus should mainly be on Usagi I dont mind seeing more background on each of the senshi just as long as they dont focus so much on chibiusa or haruka and michiru. Thats probably why I enjoy S and Super S as little as I do. Its just all very bland when Usagi isnt all front and center. Chibiusa is horrid and I never got the appeal of Haruka or Michiru I always found them both very cut throat and kind of out for themselves. I always hated how Haruka was basically always threatening and telling Usagi what to do. Thats if the anime even gets that far who knows it may be a short retelling of the early episodes.

Keep the original Japanese names.
shareI love some of your suggestions! I would definitely give the scouts more episodes and airtime to talk about their own storylines and how they get through life in modern day Japan. Lita is an orphan just like Darien, so shouldn't we get a better glimpse at them getting cozy, bonding over that kind of commonality? And we should definitely be getting better storylines for the villains. I remember seeing Nephlite die in Molly's arms and crying for the first time over a television show. All of the generals should have an endearing subplot.
My other suggestion would be to give the girls a lot more trinkets and tools like the disguise pen and the watches. Serena should be a lot more sleuthy, and a bit more intelligent. I believe you can be ditzy and not incredibly talentless. Give us something to root for, put her in more danger and make it feel real.
Lastly, I would say that this new series should reach a point where the identities of the scouts are compromised on a global scale. Even if it's only for a few episodes, I would like to see how they do this.
Not above cutting a b*tch, since 1988
Okay, I have some suggestions. And sorry, but I really dislike the English dub names when the original series and manga are Japanese. FYI, the characters are: Usagi (Serena), Ami (Amy), Rei (Raye), Makoto (Lita), Minako (Mina), and Mamoru (Darien). Anyway, my suggestions are similar to yours, OP.
1) Definitely get rid of the "monster of the week" format. It's tiresome and should be replaced with individual storylines that lead up to the main storyline.
2) Minimize the attack and transformation animations. Showing them every episode was tiring, too. For the attacks, they don't always have to use an animation sequence like the movies.
3) Usagi/Sailor Moon should mature and become tougher quicker like the manga. She should also be willing to kill her enemies like the manga, too.
4) The enemies should be more evil like the manga. No more healing Queen Nehellenia or Sailor Galaxia! Nehellenia was an incarnation of Chaos and Galaxia chose to be evil.
5) Give Mamoru/Tuxedo Mask powers that can actually destroy the enemy just like the manga. His distracting rose grew old.
6) Give background on each of the Sailor Senshi. Explore Rei's lack of a relationship with her father, Ami and her mother, Makoto living alone at home, and even maybe Minako's past as Sailor V.
7) Allow the other Sailor Senshi besides Sailor Moon to be able to defeat an enemy! It was so annoying how Sailor Moon mostly finished off the bad guys.
8) If there is an English dub, keep it really close to the original Japanese dialogue and keep the original Japanese music.
You can judge a man by the company he keeps.
