* LighterAndSofter: From what is known from the pilot, this show seems to do away with the manga's tragic lore. The Moon Kingdom is presumably still standing and the Princess Warriors were forced to flee to Earth instead of being killed and reincarnated like their Sailor Senshi counterparts were. The closest there is to tragedy is Prince Darien's ship being seemingly destroyed, but considering the appearance of a certain man in a tuxedo and a mask, it's highly unlikely he's gone.

It also (obviously) never got picked up, so for over 25 years, what little anyone knew about this pitch came from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHficeNF_Y8 a two-minute music video]] that features footage from a 17-minute pilot episode, [[https://www.animefringe.com/magazine/01.06/feature/2/index.php3 an interview]] with Rocky Solotoff, the pilot's director and producer, several [[http://sailormoonnews.com/2012/11/02/complete-toon-makers-sailor-moon-voice-over-script/ scripts]] and [[http://sailormoonnews.com/2012/11/06/tuxedo-masks-face-and-mercurys-wheel-chair-from-toon-makers-sailor-moon/#more-1013 cels]] that turned up in late 2012. This version would have seen the civilian lives of the Sailor Senshi(/Soldiers/Scouts/Guardians) (referred to in this version as the "Princess Fighters") filmed in live-action segments that featured an [[FiveTokenBand ethnically- and disability-diverse cast]] (the pilot made Sailor Jupiter [[RaceLift black]], Sailor Venus either Latina or Mediterranean, and Sailor Mercury a wheelchair user).
The only footage of this pilot in circulation came from a panel at an [[FanConvention anime convention]]; this low-quality shaky-cam footage also recorded the reactions of the convention's audience. A version with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9diob_eSJ8 perspective corrected]] exists, as does a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7Hge38AkFg slightly longer version]] which contains some of the preamble from panel host Allen Hasting (the author of the computer graphics software package Lightwave 3D who claims to have designed the vehicles, even though Rocky Solotoff said he didn't use Lightwave and a completely different person designed the vehicles). Not much else was known about the pilot until late 2012 when cels and copies of the animated portion's shooting script suddenly started appearing on eBay after the storage locker of a former Toon Makers executive was repossessed. For the first time, the characters' names and the plot were actually known, though much still remained unknown (such as how the live-action segments would have been worked into the plot or much of the production's cast and crew outside of a handful of names confirmed by the producers themselves).
In March 2022 an unofficial documentary, ''[[https://youtu.be/SdYD5StqHxk The Western World of Sailor Moon]]'' was released by LostMedia investigative [=YouTuber=] Raven "Ray Mona" Simone. In it they documented their at the time unsuccessful search for the pilot and clean copy of the music video. Later, in August 2022, after following tips from viewers of this video, and assistance from Kotaku journalist Cecilia D'Anastasio (who acted as liasion between Simone and former Renaissance Atlantic head Frank Ward), Simone procured clean copies of the music video and the pilot from the Library of Congress which they released as part of ''The Western World of Sailor Moon'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L67YFwnQCQ second episode.]]
