facts - Anime - http://maxpages.com/toonamiblast/sm

re's a page that's useless...yet interesting. Some things I bet you really didn't care to know about the characters, the places, the events...and other things like that. This page is pretty unorganized, just read it...and who know, maybe you'll win Jeopardy! With one of these facts

Juuban(where all the girls live and play) is a real place in Japan. It's pretty much a rich part of town. On that note, all the Sailor Senshi are what we consider rich. Perhaps not to us, but in Japan people generally live in tiny apartments because of overpopulation and the high price of living. The fact Serena lives in a house (with two-floors)says that she's rich, by knowing this you also know that the Tomoe family is considerably wealthy to be living in a mansion.

Mugen Gakuen(where Michiru, Haruka, and Hotaru went to school)means Infinity Academy. They're Sailor Starlights.

Sailorironmouse and Sailorleadcrow's alter identities are puns. Ironmouse goes as chunko Nezu. Her first anem Nezu is the pun, in Japanese Nezumi means muse or rat. Leadcrow posed as Karasuma Akane, in this case the pun is in the last name. Karasu means crow in Japanese.

All the Senshi last names are puns on their planets except for Minako's. Take for example how you say Marsin Japanese Kasei which literally means Fire Star. Ka is also pronounced Ha. Fire is the first Kanji in Kasei and also the first on in Hino. All of them work that way except Aino Minako's. Ai means love and Kinsei means Gold Star. I'm talking about Sailor Venus.

Japanese schools have middle school from 7th to 9th grade, and highschool from 10th to 12th. Everyone wears a uniform at Japanese school that look like sailorsuits.

Naoko originally intended all the Sailor Scouts to wear different sailorsuits and wear masks.

During the end of the SS manga (and probably in the beginning of the Stars anime),Sailor Saturn takes lead of the Sailor Scouts.

Ami Mizuno is one of Japan's most liked anime character. When Naoko originally created her, she didn't plan to make her so developed, but people liked the character so much that Naoko developed he more.

If you look really closely in Sailormoon, you might be able to se the building of TV-Asahi...that's the company that aired Sailormoon.

Minako/Mina started wearing a red bow in her hair because a boy she liked told her she'd look nice in it. (In the Sailor V manga)

It took 200 episodes for Sailormoon to go through 18 volumes of manga.

Highschool and College entrance exams are very competitive. Ami isn't a freak(wait,yes she is)for going to an additional cram-school to study for the college exam.

Japanese culture highly regards respect and honor. The city of Tokyo which is HUGE has a VERY tiny crime rate. If you ever wanted to know why the Sailor Scouts never fight crimes, that why.

Rei's pet birds, Phobos and Deimos are named after the moon of Mars. In the manga, Phobos and Deimos have human forms and are from the planet Coronis.

Luna and Artemis got together and had a kitten name Diana, she's the guardian for Chibi Moon. All three of them gets killed later in Sailor Moon SS.

The Scouts all have castles. Uranus' castle is called Niranda Castle, Neptune's is Triton Castle, Pluto's is Charon Castle, Venus' is Magellan Castle.

Takeuchi Naoko moved to Juuban after Sailor Moon became big. That's where all the rich people lives. Sort of like Hollywood.

Luna and Artemis are aliens according to the manga.

In Japan, the school year starts in the spring.

The reason why all the attacks are in English, even in a Japanese show is because Japanese really love saying English words.

In the future as Neo-Queen Serenity, Usagi still doesn't write in kanji. (Ami makes a lot of comments about that in Sailorstar, kanji is very important, kindergarteners start learning it then)

Rei isn't some freak who likes to watch fire and tie paper to trees. Her religion, 'Shinto' is a real religion that deals with the spirit world.

There really is a Crown Game Center in Juuban as well

Usagi's name , Tsukino Usagi can be broken down as Tsuki no Usagi...Rabbit on the Moon. Many Asian cultures have a myth about rabbit on the moon pounding rice cake. In fact, that was Luna's password on the arcade thing she spoke through to talk to Artemis in the first season.

Peruru from the SMSS Movie has the same sieyuu as Kou Yaten..aka Sailorstarhealer.

The manga describes Haruka as being both male and female.

Takeuchi Naoko is such a huge fan of mirrors than she decided to base the fourth series (SMSS) around them.

Speaking of Naoko, she says the character which is most like her is Usagi while the charcter least like her is Michiru.

Earl & Ann were the only vilains(not from movies)to not come from the manga. They were created so the manga could catch up with the anime.

Araki Kae(voice of Chibiusa)did the voce of Usagi while Mitsishi Kotono was ill. This was before she ever did the voice fo Chibiusa.

Cronus, the Father of the Gods in Greek(known as Saturn to the Romans)carried around a scythe to symbolized death when one's time is up. This probably explans why Saturn gets to carry around such a nifty weapon.

Artemis is the name of the Greek Godess of the moon, Diana is the Roman name for Artemis. Luna means moon in Latin.

Serena's pigtails are 4.5 ft long.

Sailortian's last name was only given in the manga. "Mysato"

Serena actually had a 100% on her math test once.

Melvin is the only supporting character in all 18 of the mangas.

Naoko thought about the idea in college, but she didn't build it until 6 years later.

According to the manga, Tian's grandfather and grandmother are the same person.

Tian was only 12 when he became a scout.

Uranus and Neptune only made out 3 times through out the series.

Queen Serenity never appeared but was mentioned in the manga.

Alan and Ann were really from the planet Cybertron.

Sailor Venus always hated Sailor Saturn for several reasons.

Naoko later created Sailor Moon Comets in 1996, but it was never on the market.

King Nova wasn't related to Queen Nova.

Alan learned how to play the flute from a guy name Tapion.

Tian is the tallest scout standing at 6 ft.

When Ami was a child. She had long hair like Rei. Watch the Sailormoon movie, "Ami's First Love"

The voice of Sailortian was a woman.

In Japan, it's common for voice actors to play as the opposite sex.

Tian went to College at Orange Star Universty for 1 year.
