edit_summary: /* History */
diff.text: Plans had been made to make two seriesarcs, the Dark Kingdom arc and the Black Moon Clan arc (known in the anime as [[Sailor Moon R]]). Takeuchi took a break between the two, so a filler arc was created in the anime to let the manga catch up. This arc was the first part of R, but did not involve the same villains. 
diff.text: After R finished, [[Toei]] convinced Takeuchi to create a third seriesarc, [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon S]]. The series had a darker tone than the other two and is the most well-liked by fans. This series featured the introduction of three new soldiers, Sailors [[Haruka Ten'ou|Uranus]], [[Michiru Kaiou|Neptune]] and [[Hotaru Tomoe|Saturn]]. 
diff.text: The next series, [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon SuperS]] was the most-watched, but the least-liked by fans. The series centered around [[Usagi Small Lady Serenity Tsukino|ChibiUsa]], and her alicorn friend [[Pegasus]]. Many changes were made in the anime from the original manga series. The anime series was so badly received that Toei cut off the series at a cliffhanger point and resumed it at the beginning of the final Sailor Moon anime series, [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Sailorstars]].
