"Sailor Moon" Characters Were Almost Male

In the original concept for "Sailor Moon," the Sailor Scouts were intended to be male superheroes. This idea was scrapped, and they became the iconic female warriors that led the way for more female-driven anime series.

Imagine how different the entire vibe of Sailor Moon would have been! Glad they stuck with the female warriors—it really helped pave the way for strong female leads in anime.
