* UnfortunateCharacterDesign: Sailor Jupiter is African-American in this show. However, she appears to be wearing peach-colored eyeliner and lipstick in the animated segments, [[http://www.moonsisters.org/moonsisters/ToonMakerS/ToonmakersSailormoon.htm making her look more like a white person wearing blackface]]. Along with being offensive, it's ironically funny: in trying to make her design more "Western", they came up with a design you could easily mistake for [[GyaruGirl ganguro]]!

** The concept of the "Jewels of Power" is ''eerily'' similar to the Sailor Crystals / star seeds from ''Sailor Moon Stars'' (introduced in the "Dream" arc of the manga which corresponds to "[=SuperS=]" but they don't appear in the anime till "Stars").

* ValuesDissonance: Sailor Mars makes a joke that a bulky MonsterOfTheWeek is too fat to dance and could stand to "burn some pounds". This line has aged rather poorly as a line in a show aimed towards young girls today due to an increase in eating disorders and greater public awareness as to what causes them.

(To be fair, however, the original anime [[Recap/SailorMoonEp04LearnHowToBeSkinnyFromUsagi fell into this a few times itself]], though the English dubs tried to counteract this by mentioning the dangers of fad diets.)

* InferredHolocaust: During Beryl's invasion, Sailor Moon orders Darian to protect the royal families and to "save as many as [he] can", appointing him as the pilot to the "Galeon". Later, the Sailors, on their sky fliers, try to reach the Galeon in mid-flight, but Beryl shoots a laser beam at the Galeon, destroying it. Sailor Moon can only look at the scene and shed tears.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: What's mentioned below in AngstWhatAngst, alongside how all the Princess Warriors seem far too focused on the idea of school dances and boys while they're all forced into hiding during an intergalactic war might just be an extreme case of having to cope with so much trauma in such little time.

** One of the pilot’s notable traits was its CGI transformation sequence, which would allow for the live-action segments to transition into the animated ones. Around twenty years later, another [[Franchise/SailorMoon Sailor Moon]] series, [[Anime/SailorMoonCrystal Sailor Moon Crystal]], would heavily feature CGI in the transformations for season 1 and 2.

** After that, Mercury's gained a lot of popularity due to being a wheelchair user who, surprisingly for the era the pilot was made in, was ''not'' defined by her disability but was instead a gung-ho fighter and "The original party girl."

Wheelchair "bound" isn't the preferred term by the disability community


* ValuesResonance: Sailor Mercury is a wheelchair bound superhero and, although played by a non-disabled actress, it shows a very respectful and non-stereotypical character - especially when disability representation is still a hot talking point in the industry.

** In discussions about the uncovered pilot, it was often mentioned that the art style looked very similar to [[WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower She-Ra]]. When the pilot was finally found, it was discovered that the voice of She-Ra herself, Melendy Britt, actually voiced-acted in it!

* SoBadItsGood: Many petitioning for the pilot to be released are probably hoping it will prove to be this. After it was found in 2022, most people can say it indeed lived up to that description.
