Shorts
Two short episodes were created to be shown with the first and third theatrical films of the Sailor Moon anime. The first, entitled "Make Up! Sailor Senshi", is a comical introduction to the cast of the series for those not familiar with the franchise, while the second, "Ami's First Love", is an adaptation of an extra story (omake) from the Sailor Moon manga.
The latter three shorts, collectively called the "Supers Specials", were released together, airing in lieu of a regular episode near the beginning of the Supers season. The first short, "Supers Special: An Elegant Metamorphosis? Crybaby Usagi's Growth Diary", is a summary of the first three seasons of the Sailor Moon series. The second short, "Supers Special: Haruka and Michiru, Again! The Ghostly Puppet Show", features Haruka and Michiru in a luxury hotel on a cliff. In the third short, "Supers Special: Chibiusa's Adventure! The Dreaded Vampire Castle", Chibiusa uncovers one of her classmates as a monster and fights it with the other Sailor Senshi.
To date, none of the shorts have been licensed for an English language release.

Ami believes this is a challenge by a new enemy, but also comments on how passionate a rivalry feels, and begins to think about Mercurius obsessively. A being named the Terayoka, a woman who feeds on the desires of others, notices this and attaches herself to Ami. Later, Ami is in bed sick, as the Terayoka is finishing her magic. Ami suddenly overcomes it, transforms into Sailor Mercury, and defeats the Terayoka, believing she was Mercurius. However, an investigation by the other Senshi reveal that Mercurius looks almost exactly like Umino. | |

Famous quotes containing the word shorts:
“I don’t want to smoke cigars or go to stag parties, wear jockey shorts or pick up the check.”
—Shelley Winters (b. 1922)
“The world is never the same as it was.... And that’s as it should be. Every generation has the obligation to make the preceding generation irrelevant. It happens in little ways: no longer knowing the names of bands or even recognizing their sounds of music; no longer implicitly understanding life’s rules: wearing plaid Bermuda shorts to the grocery and not giving it another thought.”
—Jim Shahin (20th century)
