What and who Sailor Moon is, and her creator.


Sailor Moon was created by Takeuchi Naoko. It first was a Japanese comic book. Then in 1992 it became an anime, or cartoon show. Now I want everyone to understand that in Japan they don't consider animation just for kids, some of their animations are umm... scary. I'm not saying anything bad about their anime (animation) though.

Now about the show's subject. It is about a 14 year old girl and her friends when they discover that they must stop evil-doers (monsters of all sorts). There are currently 4 seasons and three movies.The animation is really unpredicable in the first season, but matures as the show goes on. For those of you who don't know Sailor Moon has been dubbed, also know as translated, a lot. Most infamous is DiC. Dic has translated the first two seasons, Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon R, for a much younger audience then was intended. They cut out, I think, at least 5 episodes and many, many more scenes. They also added 'Sailor Moon Says' which is pretty much a toss in so the show would be educational. Now, it might sound like I'm complaining but if DiC hadn't come along I would never have discovered Sailor Moon. I'm just trying to let those of you who have only seen DiC know that there is better Sailor Moon stuff, meaning uncut episodes amoung other things.
Now in a more recent turn of events, Sailor Moon is being translated again. There are 5 seasons in all. DiC translated the first 2 and now a new company will be translating the next 2 seasons. The new episodes, new for us dub starved Americans who haven't seen these seasons, are airing on Cartoon Network.
I recomend that you see the show because it is simple enough for children but has a depth that even adults enjoy. I have loved Sailor Moon from the first episode I saw. Serena/Usagi is just like me. Now that you have learned what Sailor Moon is go look at the rest of the site to learn about her and her friends.
