** The explotion of the planetary symbols can also mean that the first three girls' memories were sealed entirely, while Minako remembers enough (if not all) of her past life to know who she really is and how crucial is for her to defeat the Dark Kingdom.

** In season 3 Venus' tranformation is back to streams of stars. She's not Sailor Moon's BodyDouble anymore.

* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0Va228UhRs the video to the full opening]] the planetary symbols of Mercury, Mars and Jupiter explode but the one for Venus simply circles around. Also, at one point Sailor Mercury, Mars and Jupiter are shown on the ground in apparent despair during the Silver Millennium before scenes in which they rise up again to fight, but Venus is just shown by the back thinking, and her 'rise up and fight' scene is just her turning around with a 'let's kick some ass' face. Why this difference in treatment? Because she's the leader and the toughest.

* In the opening, when Usagi is looking at Mamoru Minako is the first of the Senshi to appear, beaten only by Luna who apparently was already on her body. ''Of course'' Minako would show up first: Usagi was looking at her love, and Minako is the local LoveGoddess.

* After Mamoru appears for the first time, Usagi thinks, “Who wears a tuxedo in the afternoon?” That's a very good question; it makes Mamoru stick out like a sore thumb, and it makes him look just like his alter ego. His shades even cover up more than the domino mask he has on later. As [[http://polymathically.wordpress.com/2014/07/08/sailor-moon-crystal-episode-1-usagi-sailor-moon/ one reviewer]] put it, "That’s like Superman trying to pass himself off as Clark Kent while wearing a Superman costume!"
** This is taken straight from the manga. And, apparently, succeeded due the [[RefugeInAudacity sheer audacity]]: Usagi ''did'' link Mamoru to Tuxedo Kamen, but then refused to believe it was true. And Superman ''did'' pull the "I'm disguised as Clark Kent" stunt more than once, sometimes while wearing a (bad) Superman costume...
* The girls get their tech (the transformation pens and the watch communicators) by playing an arcade game. Why does Luna make them go through that instead of just giving them the items? Rei didn't have to do that. That's a lot of wasted hours that could be devoted to training and continuing their mission.
** The first instance - Mercury's transformation pen - was a bit of sneaky planning on Luna's part, getting the pen into Ami's hands early so that, if she ''did'' manifest the power of Mercury, she'd be all ready to go with just a bit of prompting on Luna's part. She may well have planned to give the disguise pen to Usagi directly, but when Usagi began shaking the game console demanding a prize of her own, Luna decided "oh, well" and handed it over the same way. Rei, on the other hand, was never anywhere near the video game, so Luna simply tossed her the henshin pen when it became clear she was going to need it.\\
As for the communicator watches, I got nothin', but the episode does not give the impression that the girls are at any point playing the game specifically to get equipment; rather, they were playing the video game ''anyway''. Those "wasted hours" were never going to be spent on training and mission prep whether Luna chose to use the game console as a vehicle for their equipment or not. It's just a convenient means of handing out items without leaving the audience wondering where the heck Luna is pulling this stuff from.
* After Rei gets kidnapped on the bus, Usagi uses her transformation pen to become a...flight attendant. Why? As [[http://polymathically.wordpress.com/2014/08/03/sailor-moon-crystal-episode-3-rei-sailor-mars/ one reviewer pointed out]], if you're trying to catch a speeding bus, the last thing you'd want to wear is a tight skirt and heels. She was even lugging a rolling suitcase with her! You'd think she'd transform to an Olympic-class runner for that kind of task.
** It's pure fourteen-year-old-girl logic. Usagi's not the bravest of souls; she psyches herself up to chase the bus by becoming someone whose job it is to look after passengers - and since buses don't have cute attendants, a flight attendant is the next closest thing.
* From the same review, if people know exactly which vehicle the Demon Bus is and when it arrives, why is no one attempting to track it, set up a barricade, get it on camera, interrogate the driver, etc.? It's also shown that the bus goes through some kind of portal, but that happens in the middle of a city, near a large intersection, within sight of several buildings. How are there not hundreds of witnesses or people trying to stop the bus?
