Line 6:
* [[Achilles in His Tent]]: The standard plot happens a little differently to demure Mercury, who starts as the only Sailor Senshi without offensive abilities, and is too nice to storm off. Instead, she's offered a chance to study abroad and further her goals of becoming a doctor, which will remove her from the Sailor Senshi. She's about to take it, but changed her mind at the last moment so returns in time to get her mid-season power upgrade (which finally makes her more action-geared) and rescue the rest of the team from a monster only weak to ice, and she returns to the fold.
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: Being pretty much four times as long as the manga, the anime has plenty of time to detail the characters outside of the main ones (supporting cast and villains) more.
* [[Adaptational Jerkass]:
** Luna in the manga wasn't above scratching Usagi to get her to pay attention, but she always treats Usagi as her student, with firm kindness. Anime Luna has drawn a picture of what happened if Usagi kept gaining weight, berated her on a regular basis for her faults, and would mock some of her foibles, to the point that it's shocking when Luna informs the other girls about Sailor Moon's [[Heroic BSOD]].
** Mamoru in the manga would tease Usagi, but it was more lighthearted than some of the jabs he would aim at her in the anime. She actually started to fall for him when he started acting more gentlemanly. Anime Mamoru has to take half a season to not see her as a "silly girl" and would deliberately provoke her. Granted, she engineered more of their hostile encounters owing to the number of times her objects -- exam papers, shoes, and so forth-- would land on his head. To his credit, he does mellow in later seasons, and their relationship becomes healthier.
* [[Adapted Out]]: In the anime, various Sailor Guardians are cut: {{spoiler|Sailor Ceres, Sailor Pallas, Sailor Juno, Sailor Vesta, and Sailor Cosmos}}. Eventually, the first four showed up, including the villains that have done a [[Heel Face Turn]] but never became Sailor Senshi.
** Shadow Galactica's many villains, like Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion, got the important parts of playing non-existent in the finale.
