A Quick Introduction to Sailor Moon

Moonlit Dreams is a website created by yours truly based on Sailor Moon. It was created by Naoko Takeuchi, a japanese lady who first made comics about a girl called Sailor V, short for Sailor Venus. It later expanded to include Sailor Moon who quickly became the main character, and several other Sailor Scouts. In 1991, she dreamt up a story about female heroine named Code Name wa Sailor V for Nakayoshi's sister publication Run-Run magazine. It was an sucess and she was inspired to create a even more elaborate and detailed manga which she named Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon.
Sailor Moon was about a teenage girl who discovers she is a heroine, a superhero whose job is to protect the world against evil forces. She teams up with other sailor scouts, such as Sailor Mercury, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mars. Sailor V from the original manga now played second fiddle to the new main character, Sailor Moon. Her editor helped Naoko to create a trademark of the show, the girl's sailor scout uniforms. They were based on school uniforms which were common in Japan.
It debuted in Nakayoshi in February of 1992 and was a instant hit with girls everywhere. The rest is history.
Sailor Moon went on to become one of the most popular animes ever created. It was released as a animated TV series, which ran for 200 episodes in 5 seasons. The show was translated into a number of languages, including
spanish, french, and english. There were 18 volumes of Sailor Moon manga books and three feature films, as well as a few more television specials. It was even transformed into a live stage musical, commonly known as "Sera-Myu". It resembles a broadway musical and each season, a different story is done.    Sera-Myu is currently still running. The Sailor Moon television show and manga ended in February of 1997.
Reportedly, around the time of the show's ending, naoko Takeuchi and Sailor Moon's publisher, Kodansha were having major disagreements about the handling of the series which may have been a main cause of the show's ending.
