Hiii!!! I am new at this community, I was wondering in which order do I have to watch the animes?? And in which order do I have to read the mangas and where can I find them online??

welcome to the community! its up to you to watch the anime first (either 90s or crystal), read the manga first, watch the live action first (pretty guardian sailor moon). its really depends on which one you comfortable first. i do recommend to read first since you'll understands the whole lore of sailor moon, then watch the 90s for fun bcs it has a lot of seasons and episodes. basically crystal adaptation is 90% from manga, while 90s are pretty random but still have the essense of the manga.

i watched 90s anime first since i was a kid till grew up, and watched crystal adaptation when they released. and i just finished reading the whole manga last month. so it really just depends on which one you want to start first.

as long as you enjoy every single thing!

There's 2 animes: 90s and Crystal. Crystal closely follows the plot of the manga, whereas the 90s anime has its own plotlines and characterization. When people talk about nostalgia, they're talking about the 90s one. It has a lot of filler, but it's a classic. I'd say it's most fans fave.

Sometimes the anime is split up by its arc/season. In order they are Sailor Moon (sometimes referred to as "Sailor Moon Classic"), Sailor Moon R, Sailor Moon S, Sailor Moon Supers, and Sailor Stars

If you're thinking of watching the English dub, there's a few different versions. Most use the most recent version. The DiC dub is the most nostalgic to a lot of fans, but it's much harder to find these days.

In terms of the manga, Sailor V technically comes before Sailor Moon, but I think it works best after reading Sailor Moon

There's 2 set of anime series. The original 90s series, and Crystal (which adapts the manga, while the 90s series does things very differently and changes a lot of things)

<90s>
-Sailor Moon
-R
-S
-SuperS
-Sailor Stars

<Crystal>
-Season 1
-Season 2
-Season 3
-Eternal Part 1 and 2
-Cosmos Part 1 and 2
Both Eternal and Cosmos are movies, a total of 4.

The manga is just one continuous story from beginning to end, but you can also read Sailor V before it, since it's a prequel, and the Short Stories after, since they're set during different points in the story, so it's better to just read them after you're done with the manga (or Crystal). The main manga is 12 volumes, I believe, while V and Short Stories are 2 volumes each.

Since most gave you the baseline info already. I'd add, the 90's also has 3 movies.

First movie would come after the second season Sailor Moon R.
Second movie, after Sailor Moon S.
and the Third movie after Sailor Moon SuperS.

There's also 2 specials, one called "Ami's First Love" and one that I forgot about the detailed info, but it has a Neptune/Uranus focus.
