I know. It was totally great! I wish that most anime final battles could be a quarter as good as Stars.

Unsubstantiated rumors are basically worthless. In any case, she had very little creative control over the anime. I think that all Takeuchi did was write lyrics for the theme song, and it was pretty good.

Cool stuff. It's a bit of a shame that Okada gets unfairly maligned at times. I have heard some dire things about the Legend of Fujiko Mine though.

Precisely. They threw in about a dozen different kinds of attacks against the main villain. Most of these would be the ones that would win the day in lesser shows - power of friendship, using the villain's power, team attacks, and so on, but Sailor Moon in the end wasn't about any of that. It's probably in my top 3 final battles in anime.
I don't really rewatch Sailor Moon all that often, but if I do, it's probably the final episodes of Stars.
