Pretty Guardian Sailormoon

I have never watched the anime adaptation of this so this was my first time exposed to watching "Sailormoon". I have read some of the volumes of the manga and enjoyed that and although there are differences between this version and the manga, I still love this live version adaptation. When I first heard that "Sailormoon" was going to be a drama, the first thing that came to my mind was: are some of the actresses going to have to dye their hair to fit their roles?! Luckily, they didn't since the only time their hair was different was when they transformed and even then, they're wearing wigs. The graphics and the fighting scenes are extremely cheesy (they reminded me of "Power Rangers"); however, the plot is really well developed and addicting. PGSM has the right touch of friendships and love so I enjoyed it because of its plot and characters development. A lot of people might not like this since it differs from the manga and anime and it's cheesy in the beginning, but I can guarantee that it gets a lot better so don't dismiss it right away because of the first few episodes!

Sawai Miyuu: I find her cuter than pretty, which fits the image of Sailormoon. For the first time acting, she' really good and I can't image anybody else as Sailormoon after seeing her in this role. But sadly, she's not really acting anymore (I think). 5*****

Hama Chisaki: Out of all the Sailor Senshi, I only think Hama Chisaki and Kitagawa Keiko are pretty; the rest are cute or just okay. I also thought she did a good job as Sailor Mercury since she was convincing when she was nice and evil. Too bad she's not acting anymore since I would have like to see her in more dramas. 5*****

Kitagawa Keiko: I absolutely love her (it also helped that Sailor Mars is my favorite)! She's a natural when it comes to acting and she is so beautiful! I like her character development throughout PGSM. Keiko is also the most successful Sailor Senshi since she's practically the only one still acting. 5*****

Azama Myu: A lot of people think she's really pretty/cute but I found her average. She fitted the role of Sailor Jupiter but I felt she was sometimes stiff. I don't think she's acting anymore either. 4****

Komatsu Ayaka: I didn't think she was pretty but her looks grow on you. She was really good as Sailor Venus. She's still acting but I think she's concentrating more on being a gravure idol than an actress. 5*****

Shibue Joji: He's not handsome enough as Tuxedo Mask but his acting made up for it. His looks kind of grow on you...I guess. 5*****

Sawai Miyuu+Shibue Joji: They were believable as Tsukino Usagi and Chiba Mamoru; a cute couple. 5*****

Azama Myu+Kikawada Masaya (as Furuhata Motoki): They are extremely adorable together and I'm glad that they ended up together. 5*****

Hama Chisaki+Matsumoto Hiroyuki (as Nephrite): They were also really cute together since there were so many "sexual" tension every time they met, but sadly, they didn't end up together since he sort of "died". 5*****

Shibue Joji+Matsushita Moeko (as Kusaka Hina): I felt bad for Matsushita Moeko since she wasn't evil and they weren't too bad as a couple but I like Shibue Joji better with Sawai Miyuu. 4****

OST: There are a ton of songs for this drama since most of the actresses sang songs for PGSM. There are too many to list but all of the songs are all really good and catchy! 5*****

Rating: 5***** A classic in its own way and everyone should watch this if you're a Sailormoon fan.
