I have been watching anime all of my life. Since I was a little kid in the 80s in Costa Rica, I knew that Mazinger Z, Minky Momo and Candy Candy where made in Japan. I could easily recognize the differences between the anime and the cartoons made in America an other countries. Even tough everyone wrongfully refer to them as "fabulas chinas"(Chinese cartoons).
The artwork, color, animation and storylines stood up to me more than the cheaper looking and repetitive American cartoons of the same era (I fucking hate everything Hanna Barbera).
Robotech became my number 1 favorite anime for years, the epic space battles the love story and likable characters will always have a special place in my heart. Then in high school, I like other boys, was watching Dragon Ball first series, and it was great funny and filled with adventure. THEN CAME SAILOR MOON.
The first time I ever read anything about it was in a videogame magazine in a article about games being shown in the Shoshinkai of 95 and Sailor Moon games for the Super Famicon catch my eye. The artwork the pretty girls the sailor suits, the fact that it was fighting games everything was pretty intriguing to me. What could be this anime about I wonder?
Latter the Spanish dub was shown in Costa Rica, I waited eagerly for the first episode, and I felt in love with Usagi... Ever since I have been a big fan of Sailor Moon and collected many things with the years.
The new show is different but I like it so far, as it is more accurate to the manga, that being told there are still some little changes.

I actually watched it. I have the manga as well and I collect the figures. It was a cute enough story. It's one of those anime that is not only an enjoyable story, but the girls were part of my fantasies as I was going through puberty. Discovering all those hentai pictures of them online only helped fuel that fantasy. 
"i watched it when it came on tv while growing up during the 90's.."
Same here. I'm watching the new series and I think it's good enough.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Sailor Moon series, they created the new series Sailor Moon Crystal. Here is a video clip Sailor Moon Crystal Complete group transformation :
Is this a trick question? Do girls watch, say, Dragonball Z? Yes? Than the first question was unnecessary.
Good anime is good anime, period.

Caught a few eps on early morning tv, thought it was aimed at kids but ok non the less.
Then around that same time I started to frequent a local shop which specialized in all things anime .. and got to know the owner and one of his part time staff quite well. The staff member was a Sailor Moon NUT who owned puzzles / figures and ALL of the series , and had the posters from Sailor Moon plastered all over her walls. She loaned me the original uncut Japanese versions of Sailor Moon .. quite violent compared to the watered down version we watched on western tv.

I watched Sailor Moon when I was young because I thought the girls were hot. It did not take long for me to get bored of the story line, but will always have a preference for that outfit.
I've watched the old series, some of the movies, and the new Sailor Moon Crystal. I've read a few volumes of the manga. Played some of the video games on Super Famicom too.
Interestingly enough, the author/artist of Sailor Moon is married to Yoshihiro Togashi, the author/artist for Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter X Hunter. I prefer his series more. Before they started dating, she was doing assistant work for Hunter X Hunter. Cute couple, they have 2 kids now I believe. Of course, they're both disgustingly rich. I can only imagine what Naoko Takeuchi's wealth is alone, with the constant franchising and merchandising.
