** In Sweden the voice actor for Ale is changed for no appearent reason in the last episode he appears. What makes it weirder is that the original voice actor later appears in the series voicing Rubeus. On another note, the voice of Sailor Mars is changed about 58 episodes into the show.

** According to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEXqoPgbH0c#t=01m32s this promotional video]], these were the tentative dub names. An early English Kodansha website for Sailor Moon had an alternative set of localized names that were used at some other points in development of the DiC dub. Usagi would be called "Celeste", Makoto was to be "Maggie", and Minako would be "Monica". Only "Amy" and "Rae" (spelled as "Raye") were retained from the second listing of names.

** Usagi's hair was originally going to change to silver when she transformed (as seen in later prototype designs), but Takeuchi was convinced to keep it blonde as it would stand out more. However, the silver hair was kept for her Princess Serenity form.
** Takeuchi considered having the girls' eyes change color when they transformed, although this detail only made it into a special few colored illustrations. Ami's eyes were intended to change from dark to light blue, Rei's would change from purple to a fiery red, Makoto's would change from grayish-blue to green, and Minako's would change from blue to gold. In most final artwork, Makoto has green eyes in both forms and the other girls' Sailor forms keep their civilian eye colors.


Added DiffLines:

** Rei originally had the name Miyabi Yoruno, and the earliest proposal for a Sailor V spinoff (which featured Hikaru and Mamoru as part of the team) didn't have any Usagi present.

** The anime got a luxury remasted DVD release that has yet to leave Japan. All R1 DVDs of the show remain out of print and while the show is ''finally'' starting to appear overseas again, Toei is only licensing the rights to air the old 90s dubs and not licenses for new dubs. The anime is still completely MIA in the United States, with complexities over the rights providing a massive hurdle. FUNimation has mentioned on several occasions that they have ''tried'' to get the show, but have yet to succeed despite a strong working relationship with Toei.

* WordOfGod: Only women can be Sailor Senshi. There cannot be a Sailor Earth because Tuxedo Mask has Earth's Sailor Crystal.

to:

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: A number of the early character concepts for the franchise were extremely different by the time the first issue of the manga and first episode of the anime came together.
** Originally, the five girls that form the original Sailor Team had [[http://mangastyle.net/materials/mat-03.jpg unique]] [[http://mangastyle.net/materials/mat-04.jpg outfits.]] And Sailor Moon's hair was pink. Other prototypes of Usagi had her with a cloak and a ''handgun.''
** The Infinity art book includes an ad from Nakayoshi for "Bishoujo Senshi Sailor V" that has Usagi, but in Sailor V's uniform and teamed with Artemis. [[http://mangastyle.net/sailormoon-artbook-vol-infinity/ Readers of that issue must have been QUITE surprised by what they actually read.]]
** Ami changed the most in development. At first, Sailor Mercury was going to be Minako's friend Hikaru Sorano, who already looked a great deal like Ami. Later, Takeuchi decided to make her a unique character...a cyborg girl with an accelerator who would eventually die from losing one of her body parts. Her editor objected, so Ami became a fully human character with an intellect on a level that made her ''seem'' less human (though Takeuchi did eventually revist elements of the cyborg idea with Hotaru).
** Makoto was originally a delinquent gang leader named Mamoru Chino. This was toned down to people ''mistaking'' Makoto for a delinquent despite her not actually being aggressive.
** Haruka and Michiru's original concept was a pair of performers in the real-world all-female Takarazuka Revue, of which Takeuchi was a big fan. This is also why they were portrayed as lovers. While their hobbies changed, their status as lovers stayed consistent.
** The infamous Toonmakers produced live-action/American animated pilot that Toei passed on in favor of the English dub by DiC Entertainment.

** On the Japanese side, Usagi was voiced by KaeAraki (who would later play Chibiusa) from #44-50, due to her regular VA, KotonoMitsuishi, having to leave to get her appendix removed.

* TheOtherDarrin: Tons in the North American Dub. Serena and Darien each went througn three different voice actors, while Amy, Raye, Mina, Rini, and Pluto had two each (though Raye's second VA, EmilieClaireBarlow, only voiced her during the last 17 episodes of R before the first VA, Katie Griffin, returned to voice her for the remainder of the dub. Barlow soon afterwards became the second VA for Mina). Basically, Lita was the only one of the main cast to never change a voice actor.

* FanNickname: The terms "Inner Senshi", "Outer Senshi," and "Asteroid Senshi." None of them appear in canon, though some are derived from terms that do appear. The Inners are given the title "The Four Soldiers of the Guardian Gods" (四守護神の戦士, Yon Shūgoshin no Senshi), although this is very rarely used. The Outers are given the title "Outer Solar System Warriors" (外部太陽系戦士, Gaibu Taiyōkei Senshi), and use this name to refer to themselves in the anime as well. [[SeraMyu The Musicals]] use Naibu Taiyōkei yon Senshi ("Inner Solar System four Warriors") and Gaibu Taiyōkei yon Senshi ("outer solar system four warriors"), but these do not appear in any other media. The last group is simply known as the Sailor Quartet in canon. It should be noted that the term "Inner Senshi" is derived from the shortened form of the Second Group's name (Outer Senshi), not the musicals. Thanks to Jupiter's inclusion in the "Inner Senshi", many fans often think the producers "screwed up" by including an outer planet as an "Inner" Senshi.
