The story of Sailor Moon is a big complicated monster. The story of Sailor Moon in the United States is even more complicated. But that's kinda why we're here. Sailor Moon (Japanese: 美少女戦士セーラームーン, Hepburn: Bishōjo Senshi Sērā Mūn, originally translated as Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon[1] and later as Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon) is a Japanese shōjo manga series written and illustrated by Naoko Takeuchi. It was eventually turned into an animated series called Sailor Moon and exported to the US but not before someone decided to remake the series in the US and thus was born Saban Moon. Sailor Moon survived multiple versions, multiple cancelations, the creation of Team Angel and so much more to become what it is today.
