That changes absolutely nothing, I'm not really sure what your defence here is. Its OK that the manga villains were nearly universally bland as hell and most were killed off in single panels and never mentioned again because in the last few chapters its revealed they all came from one place?

Do you hate Romeo & Juliet for the same reason?

Bad comparison and a bad excuse for bad writing. Romeo and Juliet isn't a superhero comic where the main character is constantly billed as "the soldier of love and justice" and their purpose wasn't to protect the entire universe.

PGSM handled the selfishness of Serenity perfectly. She had absolutely no right to do what she did and the fact that NOBODY calls her out on her villain-level schemes in the manga is evidence of the often times horrible writing of the manga. I am so glad that the writers of PGSM had the sense to read it and think "Wait. What the hell?".

The ending leads to the birth of Crystal Tokyo.

It leads to nothing good. They never defeat Chaos, they never win, they lose so often that Sailor Moon/Cosmos tries to rewrite history and the happiest thing we get is "Sailor Cosmos will continue to fight and MAYBE win". I refuse to believe an inevitable future that involves "so much loss that even a victory would feel hollow" is a good ending. Its an awful ending. Especially considering the implication that everybody dies anyway, so what the heck is the point on a page spread showing all the Stars deaths being reversed when we know they'll just die fighting Sailor Chaos.

Wait, what? Have you seen it yet?

And I don't want something like PGSM. We have already had them do their own things, twice. I want a series that is 100% the manga translated into anime form.

Typo. I meant to write "I hope its not".

But no, a 100% adaptation would be both pointless and awful. The manga was not well written. PGSM was far better written and the anime, while not faultless, was a heck of a lot funner, had far better characters and had a far better plot that didn't take itself too seriously. I don't want PGSM again, but I do want an anime that's written better then the manga was, similar to PGSM's superior writing to the manga, rather then a straight adaptation.
