I've made a manga thread for Sailor Moon because of the major differences between the Anime and Manga that alot of people don't even know about.
-Copied from www.eternalsailormoon.org-
The drawing style in the manga is more detailed but whispier than that of the anime, and the characters are much prettier, especially in SailorStars where Takeuchi's beautiful style is clearly at its peak. The characters and the plotline in the manga are much more mature and deeper than those of the anime. The anime and manga can stand by themselves, but the manga has more of the dramatics and less of the generally pleasant aura that's in the anime. There is suicide, plenty of violence, disgusting looking monsters/youmas/daimons/etc, sex implied, and more of the like. On the other hand, the majority of the enemies in the anime are much more developed than in the manga.
-Major differences in each arcs-
(If you would like to read them)
Sailor Moon
-Mamoru is in high school, contrary to being in college in the anime.
-Zoicite and Kunzite are not gay.
-There's no search for the nijizuishou- they don't exist, and consequentally there aren't the seven strongest youma reincarnated as humans.
-Rei and Mamoru do not date; they show no attraction to each other.
-Rei is noticably more mature and sophisticated in the manga.
-Tuxedo Kamen reveals to all of Tokyo that there is a powerful stone known as the ginzuishou in an attempt to gather information about where the ginzuishou is.
-Mamoru knows that Usagi is Sailormoon at the masquerade party after she drops her handkerchief with her name on it. Actually, Mamoru suspects Usagi is Sailormoon before that, having seen Usagi transform into a stewardess and repeatedly running into Usagi when she is busy talking to Luna.
-Tuxedo Kamen doesn't throw a single rose throughout all 18 tankubon.
-When the Sailor Senshi travel to the moon, they find a stone sword in the ground which Venus immediately takes charge of. This sword is absent in the anime.
-Princess Serenity committed suicide on the moon after Endymion was killed by Beryl.
-Sailor Venus kills Beryl with the sword, so Metallia becomes the major enemy, rather than Beryl infused with Metallia being the enemy like in the anime.
-Sailor Moon tries to kill Endymion with the sword, then attempts to commit suicide.
-The Sailor Senshi don't lose their memories upon being brought back to life.
Sailor Moon R
-There are NO aliens like Ail and Ann.
-The Ayakashi Sisters are not healed; they are all killed by Sailor Moon.
-Sailormoon's rod is created by her and Tuxedo Kamen, not given to her by Queen Serenity.
-Tuxedo Kamen gains an actual attack and power, "Tuxedo La Smoking Bomber".
-Before they die, the Ayakashi Sisters manage to capture Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter, who are brought by Rubeus to Nemesis in the 30th century.
-Chibi-Usa is actually 900 years old, and she carries the future ginzuishou around, so it's not 'hidden' inside of her like the anime.
-Rather than having too much power, as in the anime, Chibi-usa suffers from a lack of it in the manga.
-Diana shows up in the Black Moon arc instead of in the Dream arc (SuperS).
-Safir doesn't turn good; rather, he tries to kill Usagi, whom he feels is responsible for his brother's change. He remains under the influence of Black Lady and Wiseman, and when called to kill Demando, Demando kills him instead. Esmeraude is killed by Tuxedo Kamen, and Rubeus is killed by Wiseman. Demando is killed by Sailormoon and Tuxedo Kamen; though Demando finally realizes Wiseman has been using him, he does not turn to good, as he seems to in the anime.
-Black Lady captures and brainwashes Mamoru, whom she calls Endymion.
-Sailor Pluto is shown more in the manga, and she actually plays a large role towards the end. She dies after using her forbidden power, the "Time Stop"
-How Black Lady reverts to normal is different from the anime.
-Sailormoon doesn't turn into Neo-Queen Serenity, though she appears to take on Serenity's characteristics or seems to speak for her.
Sailor Moon S
-Uranus and Neptune are not after the heart crystals.
-Haruka and Michiru are hostile to the Sailor Team even in the beginning, except for Haruka with Usagi and Michiru with Mamoru. Usagi is very jealous of Michiru, and Mamoru is jealous of Haruka. However, Usagi's jealousy is unfounded, whereas Mamoru actually has a reason.
-"Uranus is a senshi of both genders." Takeuchi-san said that only women can be Sailor Senshi, meaning Haruka is definitely a woman, and this line is symbolic rather than literal.
-Oddly enough, the Marine Cathedral, unlike the place where Eudial takes the heart crystals of Uranus and Neptune in the anime, is in reference to where Michiru's violin is supposed to have come from.
-Neptune and Uranus accepted Sailormoon as the Princess right off, not having to make her prove she's the Messiah or anything like at the end of S.
-The Witches 5 have one shot deals, and their plots are somewhat different.
-The three Talismans call Saturn to awaken, rather than forming the Holy Grail in the anime, though they also do that in the manga.
-Hotaru is darker than her anime form, being a sort of cyborg. That is, she is part machine and part human, thanks to the experimenting her father did on her.
-Professor Tomoe is killed, and he doesn't come back. Super Sailor Moon kills him after he turns into a daimon.
-The ending is much more dramatic, with Saturn doing her "Death Reborn Revolution" and then Pluto sealing her away with "Dark Dome Close".
-The Senshi get their Super forms in S too, and the second Holy Grail gives Chibimoon her power-up.
-Master Pharaoh 90 is actually a large threat, and you see him clearly in his true form too, unlike the anime, where he's more of a pinwheel type of a thing with tentacles.
-Pluto remains until the very end of the arc, not disappearing or anything.
-Neptune, Pluto, and Uranus leave to raise Hotaru, the baby.
Sailor Moon SuperS
-The biggest difference is that the Amazoness Quartet are Sailor Senshi, and they aren't in the anime.
-Phobos and Deimos get their human forms as well.
-Fisheye isn't gay.
-Mamoru coughs up black blood, as does Usagi later on, due to the black curse.
-The Outer Senshi come back in manga 14, rather than being dumped from the anime.
-Hotaru lives with Haruka, Setsuna, and Michiru.
-Hotaru's memories are regained, and she gives the Outer Senshi their powerups.
-Hotaru can play the violin in the manga. However, when she does, she creates visions of things.
-The Sailor Senshi get the ability to transform into their Super forms, generally from their guardians.
-Towards the end of tankubon 15, the senshi also receive their SailorStar forms and Princess forms.
-Sailor Moon gains her final form as Eternal Sailormoon.
-Neherenia is not a sweet little child who only wants a friend; she's really evil, having placed a dark curse on Serenity at birth and wanting to rule the moon and Earth, and Eternal Sailor Moon destroys her with the help of all the senshi.
Sailor Moon StarS
-There is no Neherenia in this season of the manga.
-The Outer Senshi are main characters, at least until tankubon 17, rather than occassional appearances in the anime.
-Haruka and Michiru do go to the Juuban High School with the Sailor Team.
-Haruka has to wear a dress, though sometimes she wears the male uniform.
-Hotaru goes to the same school as Chibi-usa but is in a different class.
-A whole bunch of Animamates from the anime appear, but there are new ones too, like Mnemosyne, Lethe, and Heavy Metal Papillon.
-Kakyuu is a Sailor Senshi too.
-The Sailor Quartet return with Sailor Star Chibi Moon, unlike the anime, where she was dropped and the Sailor Quartet never existed to begin with.
-The Sailor Senshi are killed off rather quickly. All the main ones except for Chibichibi and Moon die by the end of tankubon 16.
-Unlike the anime, Neptune and Uranus get cheap death scenes. They're not even shown being killed, rather only little flashes that are vague.
-The Sailor Starlights do die in the manga.
-Chibi Moon vanishes because Mamoru is killed by Galaxia later on.
-ChibiChibi can actually talk like a normal person later on in the manga.
-The rest of the Sailor Senshi become evil, attacking Sailormoon, and she kills them.
-Tuxedo Kamen is killed, but later he's alive again, brainwashed by Galaxia. He's then killed again by Galaxia, being pushed off a cliff.
-It's discovered that Chaos is from the Cauldron, a place where all stars are formed, including all the Sailor Senshi, so in a way, Sailormoon is 'related' to all the enemies she killed previously. The enemies were, Chaos tells her, forms of herself who wanted Sailormoon's power from her ginzuishou.
-It's explained that there are really an unlimited amount of Sailor Senshi in the universe.
-The kitties become human under Tin Nyanko's influence, but she blasts them, and they turn into cats unable to speak. They're eventually killed by Sailor Lethe.
-Galaxia dies.
-ChibiChibi is really another senshi, Sailor Cosmos.
-At the end of the manga, Usagi and Mamoru get married, though the date of the marriage isn't specified.
-What happens to the Starlights and Kakyuu isn't shown, nor the cats. It's assumed that they're revived though.
