The North American dub made Usagi into a bigger ditz than she actually was. The whole valley girl thing did nothing to improve her as a character. I guess it is my fanboyism, but I find it really unfair when people dismiss Usagi whiny and such because there is a lot more to her than that. While the dub does make her more of a ditz, the anime (sub and dub) has a more dense, klutzier Usagi compared to the manga (i.e. in the manga it is implied that she more or less doesn't apply herself in school, not that she is dumb). Also despite her flaws, she is quite self-aware of her flaws. While most of the time she will deny it, she does own up to them in some scenes. While she is fully of flaws, she has some really good qualities that actually make her admirable.

Also, Sailor Stars is the best seasons ever. Seriously, it is a must watch.
