diff.text: ==History==
diff.text: The series began as the [[Codename: Sailor V]] manga, which was published in 1991 in [[Run-Run]] magazine. [[Naoko Takeuchi]], the author of the series, was approached by [[TV Asahi]] to create a TV show (anime) of Sailor V. The series would run simultaneously in [[Nakayoshi]] (Run-Run's parent company) and on television.
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]].
diff.text: Sailorstars attempted to follow its manga counterpart more closely, although many changes had to be made for length and clarity. Many characters were cut and the ending was changed. The series ended in March 1997.
diff.text: [[Sailorstars]] was never dubbed in English. Toei has stated that it never plans to sell the rights to any English company because it would be found objectionable in North America.
