One thing I love about Sailor Moon particularly is that the point of the show is not necessarily that girls are powerful it's that girlhood is powerful. Usagi is a hero not because she's too stupid to know how to face her enemies but because she actively chooses love and healing over cynicism and cruelty. All of her attacks are waves of healing or purification, unlike her friends' attacks which are generally just elemental offensive attacks. Sailor Moon is a story of Knights following a central leader but instead of being the most powerful warrior, Usagi is the kindest. Throughout the series it is reinforced again and again that softness, kindness, hope, and innocence are not things that make you weak or are easy to keep. They are the very central values a good leader and a good person needs to have. So many times Usagi could choose to give up on those things and the whole arc introducing the outer senshis is filled with people telling her she's an idiot for trusting others. She is hurt so many times by her trust in others, but she still actively chooses to trust. She still actively chooses to search for goodness in people. That, to me, is why the series will always hold up. Of course it's weird and silly at times and there are some moments where you cringe, but that central theme will always ring true to me.
