Just read that the original Sailor Moon anime had over 200 episodes but the manga was only 60 chapters. Found that on a wiki deep dive.

Yeah, the anime had to add a ton of filler to stretch it out. I read they made whole new story arcs just for the show, like the Doom Tree season, which wasn't in the manga at all. It's wild how different the pacing is between them.

Classic 90s anime move. The filler could be a real slog sometimes.

Remember my buddy trying to watch Naruto? He got stuck in that endless filler arc after the Sasuke retrieval mission. He said it was weeks of episodes about finding a lost pet or some random ninja's wedding. He almost quit the whole show before he found a guide online to skip it all.
