As far as I know, there are five Sailor Moon series, and the last episode should be on the air in Japan next August... I'd like to know if you think that it would be better not to have too many SM series, in order not to be too much repetitive, or if you believe that there should be more series, as they are so good! I know that in the US there are some problems with the transmission of Sailor Moon episodes behind the second serie, so I would be very happy if you join the SOS (Save Our Sailors)! In Italy we have seen on TV the first four series, but they decided to make longer episodes for the third and the fourth one (they had to last 30 minutes at least...), so they made a patchwork with new parts and supposed "flashbacks". In my opinion, they were horrible!
Anyway, here's what you asked for: the titles of the five series are:

#1 Sailor Moon
(she uses the tiara as you would usa a frisbee)

#2 Sailor Moon R
(I believe it means "ribbon", as the scenes where the sceptre is used are part of a callisthenics exercise with the ribbon)

#3 Sailor Moon S
(here the scenes where the sceptre is used are part of a callisthenics exercise with the clubs, but what does "S" means?)

#4 Sailor Moon SuperS
Here I need your help: no callisthenics, no sports, and I don't understand the meaning of "SuperS")

#5 Sailor Moon Sailor Stars
This is on the air now! The graphics have been refreshed, with nice colors and wonderful large-scale images. The only thing I do not like is the choice of the new uniform, both that of the school and the "Sailor" one. But I do like the wings!
