Sailor Moon
Based on a manga by Naoko Takeuchi, Sailor Moon is the story of a teenage girl who meets
a magical cat who gives her super powers. She becomes the leader of a team of brave girls, known as the Sailor Warriors. Sailor
Moon has long been justifiably renowned for the strength of its plot, its direct and honest treatment of romance and, in this
uncut version, a realistic and unflinching acceptance of death as a necessary possible consequence of a righteous fight.

Comments: The Slayers series was my first foray into anime. It's got lots of fantasy, magic, fighting, monsters,
and a plot!
Though there are plenty of filler episodes, they make up for it in humor. It's also a plus that the main
character is really short! I'm a sucker for short heros and heroines. Anyways, now the series is also coming out
in manga form, and I believe also a short illustrated novel form too. The Slayers universe is vast, and it's been
around long enough that there are plenty of other people who have enjoyed it too who can help out a fan. The
animation isn't as modern as newer series, but it's good enough
