Sagas are not seasons, a saga is an undetermined span of episodes varying upon the story's size and attention. a season is a set number of episodes and must be reached before the season end. stupid USA trying to make everything go it's way, THE WORLD DOES NOT RUN ON THE USA CLOCK! *unleashes the fury of 500 velociraptors on George W. Bush* eat my childrens, EEEEAAAAATTTTT.*maniachal laughter* NOTE: large letters were used to emphysise on certain words. Darn right. The word saga does indeed mean season, with the exception of the 24 thingy. And yes, the world does not run on the USA clock. Try European clocks for example, they have a 24-hour format instead of the hellishly annoying am/pm system. This applies to the metrics as well! Metrics rool!

Metrics rool! ya didnt get it, a SAGA can take over 3 years and episodes could keep on comming, where a season is just 270 episodes or less, and then for 90 days the cast rests before a new season runs, and the show can last for years lacking new episodes but anime can stretch as far as the creator can make it. SAGA is DIFFERENT from season, as the two are far from the same thing. and I have 21 years of TV watching experience and years of research to back my info up. but I grew accustomed to the whole AM/PM thing.

I have 21 years of tv-watching experience. Don't mean I spend time researching the true definition of the word 'season' though. I always assumed a season was 13 weeks.

I always assumed a season was 13 weeks. regardless, a season is too limited of a time period, where a saga has flexible time. season is stiff, like cheap plywood, as a saga is flexible as a freshly washed T-shirt out of the dryer.

When I learned that saga is Jap for season, Saga in Japanese does not mean season. Kisetsu is season Saga if taken as a Japanese word means: one's nature, custom, property or characteristic. The English word Saga means a long detailed account. A short run lasting less than a year a season; A season usually consists of 10-24 installments of a series. Sailor Moon in it's entirity from Episode 1-200 is a series. Each smaller story arc such as classic, doom tree, R, S, SuperS or stars is a saga. 24 episodes is a season. Sailor Moon has 1 series, ~6 Sagas(5 if you count the Doom tree saga as a part of R) and 8 seasons. . .

Cresh, can I reboot you and install XP in your system? you're startin ta sound too smart for your own processor. new research proof, SMR was the first saga(relating to the original powers), SMS related the moon becomming super with the challice, Super S related to the other inner senshi becomming super sailors, and starlights related to moon becomming eternal, the sagas were seperated amoung the sailors levels of power. if the story was permitted to continue after starlights, then the other Senshi would become eternal(like the manga). I think I found something which conflicts your data cresh.

I just wanted to see what everyone would think... What did you think about Mako-chan getting teased like that by those three boys? If you haven't seen it or read about it, Makoto saves Usagi from these thee guys.. and then those three guys play a rotten trick on her. They write a fake letter from a guy she likes and she falls for it. She made him baked goods and then went and waited for him in front of the train station, thinking he'd be there. It started raining, and then stopped, her being there for a while. Then those three boys show up saying " I can't believe she actually came! " laughing at Mako-chan. It was soo mean. Poor Lita/Mako

I agree with Sailor Moon. Mako-chan didnt deserve that. I'd sick my little charmander on them, but Mako-chan probably might pick him up and cuddle him before or after he burns em. *watches Mako-chan cuddle his Charmander* thats cute. ^_^

Usagi, Rei and Ami kicked their butts at their own game: basketball. Like I've stated before, I don't think they got what they deserved, but so be it.

Same here, Raptor, but I guess she was too broken by the trick to actually do anything.
