TIL the original Sailor Moon anime cut over 30% of the manga's story

I was reading an old interview with the director from 1995 and he said the studio had to drop whole arcs to fit the TV schedule. This really changes how I see the classic anime, since everyone says it's the perfect version. Did the cuts actually make the show better or did we miss out on something better?

What arcs got left out?

Did they cut the part where the whole world building just stopped making sense?

Thirty percent is a crazy amount of story to lose, @kaiblack.
