On the anime timeline at the [http://www.toei-anim.co.jp/tag/ Toei Animation Gallery], "Sailor Stars" is listed separate from "Sailor Moon," which on their timeline concludes with the fourth season. In addition, the opening song changed from "[[Moonlight Densetsu]]," which it had been for the first four seasons, to the "[[Sailor Star Song]]." | On the anime timeline at the [http://www.toei-anim.co.jp/tag/ Toei Animation Gallery], "Sailor Stars" is listed separate from "Sailor Moon," which on their timeline concludes with the fourth season.

− | + | None of the episodes in this season have yet aired in English-speaking countries, and many rumors persist as to why Toei Animation had not allowed any company to license the last series for distribution in English. The most persistent rumors were that Toei wanted more money for licensing than anyone was willing to pay, and that Toei was afraid of hurting ''Sailor Moon'''s "family friendly" image due to some content in Sailor Stars (such as the nudity in [[Usagi's Love! The Moonlight Lights up the Galaxy|the last episode]], [[Haruka Tenou|Haruka]] and [[Michiru Kaiou|Michiru]]'s [[Homosexuality in Sailor Moon#Uranus and Neptune|relationship]], and the gender-transforming [[Sailor Starlights]]). Despite this, however, this season aired in other foreign countries with little or no controversy. In 2014, Viz Media licensed the series in the United States and Canada, where it will be released after Viz has finished re-releasing the previous series. | |
