Oh, I think the live action had the best development between Usagi and Mamoru, even if I could have lived without the Special Act. While I didn't think the relationship was a 100% ok, specialy by the end of the show, it was still miles better than the manga and the anime, so I'm all for that. I just never, ever want to hear the 'Baka!' 'Bakatte nani yo!' exchange ever again. Maybe it was Miyu's voice, but by the time I got to the Special Act, I felt like throwing something at her, and I have no problem with the character otherwise.

Most people see this as weak but the person normally just isn't in their right mind during the first stage of grief...which could lead to extreme reactions like that. It also seems that with elderly couples, if one dies, the other soon follows. They just sort of.......give up. In the manga Usagi's case: If you recall correctly SHE had to kill HIM with the sword because Beryl turned him evil. So Usagi couldn't live with that. Which is a little different than "I must die because he died and my life is meaningless." It's more of "I just murdered the person I love and now I can't stand the thought of living on, knowing that."

Using spoiler tags for spoilers + tl;dr
Spoiler for for manga:
Spoiler for for anime:
Spoiler for for the live action:
I respect your views and don't mind that you favor the manga for your own reasons. I personally like some parts of all the different retellings. I like the role of Venus in the DK arc in the manga, I prefer some bits of the live action, most notably the romance, though I'm not really a fan of the series itself and felt that the ending was rushed with some parts not making any sense. I like the ending of the first season of the anime best, and overall, I prefer the other 4 arcs in the manga to the anime.

The anime, on the other hand, clearly shows her character growth in the last episode (of the first season). At the end she is a strong-willed girl ready to fight insurmountable odds even though at that point she has lost almost everything she holds dear.

Some would argue that Usagi showed a weakness in character when she drove that sword through her chest. Some would even condemn her as a coward. I personally think she shouldn't have left her friends like that. But I also have to understand that she was stricken with alot of grief, and that is what makes her human. I mean, she's a 14 year old girl who got shoved in this battle against evil when she wasn't completely mentally prepared. And having to *kill* the man she loved (especially when she had alot of regrets arguing with him and not getting to know him), that did drive her over the edge with grief. Already loosing a loved one can drive some adults with enough grief that they kill themselves on the spot. So I can easily see why she was overcome with enough grief to kill herself on the spot, even though I didn't agree with her actions. |

S is my favorite arc for me with the outer planets introduce with their unique weapons (they are seriously cool especially Uranus and Neptune ), I still like Pluto alot (Pluto is still the 9th planet in my heart)

Ah, yes, that. You and me both. If they even get that far this time, it's gonna be a little awkward.
Speaking of which, I wonder if they'll up the technology, they did with the live and Takeuchi even modified parts of the manga.
