Now that we’ve got that squared away, there are a great many close seconds. My Laugh-Favorites are ones like 66 (grocery shopping), 118 (dimension hopping + gambling), and 184 (it’s basically just a sitcom), among many many others in a series as long and ridiculous as this one. My Pain-Favorites are and always will be 44 (everyone dies in the past), 45/46 (everyone dies in the present), and 124/125 (everyone sacrifices themselves to save everyone else).
As far as PGSM goes, every episode is filled to the brim with gold, so I can’t possibly narrow it down without eventually listing all of them.
Last week, purinsesu-serenitiasked what my favorite episode was. Overwhelmed by the enormity of the question, I had defaulted to sarcasm. I am here to remedy that. Here is a conglomeration of what happens to be exactly twenty episodes from all five seasons, from the overtly silly ones and the heartcrushingly serious ones. There’s probably many I’m forgetting, so I’d love to know which episodes are your personal favorites!
#12: Ami and Rei go on a couples’ cruise and even without a ticket Usagi somehow manages to third wheel
#13: Ami, Rei and Usagi kill Jadeite with feminism and an airplane
#27: Usagi gives the victim of the week a picture of Ami eating a hamburger
#50: Usagi’s family and a couple of aliens go to a virtual reality game center
#66: Chibiusa makes curry with her parents, the Ayakashi Sisters are the worst salespeople, and everyone cares a little too much about the local supermarket
#78: Minako is somehow graced with a good immune system and serves as nurse to her friends
#118: All the Senshi enter a randomly shifting dimension to save Hotaru while Professor Tomoe sits on the porch eating a bag of chips
#124–#125: Hotaru, Mistress 9, and Saturn all duke it out while technically inhabiting the same body
#136: Usagi is a ninja that’s all you need to know
#172: Baby Nehelenia and the prettiest redemption death ever
#184: The time that Sailor Moon unapologetically became a sitcom

1:42 am on June 5, 2015 Tags: 173 ( 27 ), 182 ( 23 ), 184, 194 ( 33 ), and therefore the past is too, because future chibiusa affected the past, but idk, i really want to believe this is intentional, in order:, like the future is constantly changing, maybe she just enjoys assuming the exact same position in every photo
I have yet to decide if this is an intentional continuity flaw, or if Usagi just has several incredibly similar photos stashed in various locations around her room.

5:36 pm on April 13, 2015 Tags: 'the hell is this pink haired child photobombing this pic', 'why did she frame that', 173 ( 27 ), 182 ( 23 ), 184, it would have been confusing, then again if seiya had said 'don't make her so sad' with chibiusa in the frame
Did something happen between the last 2 episodes that affected both Chibiusa’s existence and Mamoru’s fashion choices?
BUT WAIT: THERE’S MORE
I just happened upon this picture from episode 173, which appears to be exactly the same as the one from 182 (minus the frame, which is not intrinsic to the photograph itself). Though I’m certain more than one picture was ever taken of this couple, the fact that it’s on Usagi’s desk each time and that their poses are identical leads me to believe it’s intended to be the same photo. This additional instance of continuity (again barring Usagi’s apparent penchant for swapping frames) indicates both that perhaps this change is intentional and that I, officially, care way too much about this cartoon about magical girls

9:49 pm on April 12, 2015 Tags: (i cannot take credit for that last line about being meta), (thanks joe), (that was my friend joe), 184, in all senses of the phrase, it is real, milliezone ( 10 ), please note the green cardigan, shes becoming self aware ( 35 ), this is an actual outfit that i wear
My sister milliezone posted this picture on Twitter and I didn’t notice anything unusual until I looked closer.
I’m livetweeting my own livetweet.
Every reference to self-reference, every parody of parody, has culminated in the ultimate awareness of self-awareness.
How meta is that on a scale of one scale to ten scales?
It seems like every single infinitesimal occurrence, decided or otherwise, changes the future timeline. But if the events between now and then are yet to occur, wouldn’t changes during that time also affect the future? If you go back and change the past, wouldn’t that already have happened in your present? And if Chibiusa came back and changed the past which indirectly caused her to cease to exist, would those changes still have been made?
Looks like it’s time to break this out again

5:46 pm on April 12, 2015 Tags: 184, but yeah i accept this as a Reason, or every time usagi reorders birth control, that would be super awkward if the timeline were that variable, you'd think that chibiusa would disappear every single time either of them were in danger?
Did something happen between the last 2 episodes that affected both Chibiusa’s existence and Mamoru’s fashion choices?
or they could have two pictures taken at two different times and Chibiusa happened to not be in one of them? Cause..couples have multiple pictures?
I don’t doubt that more than one picture of the two of them exists, I do doubt that they managed to assume the exact same positions minus Chibiusa’s conspicuous absence and that the picture is in the exact same place on Usagi’s desk and that this is probably the Twilight Zone and everything up until now has been a holographic simulation of life preparing everyone for the real trials that lie ahead don’t be fooled by their lies
I always said that Chibiusa was forcibly written out of the story so that the fans and Usagi would conveniently forget that her getting with Seiya meant that Chibiusa wouldn’t exist
Didn’t realize there was in-universe proof THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF USAGI CAVORTING AROUND WITH SEIYA SHE FUCKIN UP THE TIMELINE YO
You know how it always goes. You invite someone to your house one time and suddenly the last three years of your life didn’t happen
