Roo agrees with all of the above and want to call to attention the brilliant use of the characters. The characterizations are great throughout; all the characters get plenty of attention and several fun moments even in stories where they aren't the focal character (completely avoiding the unfortunate All Of The Other Reindeer tendencies that would sometimes sneak into the original canon). I especially liked the use of Mamoru and the cats as important and established members of the team, not just secondary side characters whose sole importance is their relationship with Usagi, as well as the pleasant surprise return of the Four Phantom Sisters... who else even remembers them after they turned good?!
