The Series
There's hardly a person alive today who hasn't at least heard of Sailor Moon. It was released as a manga (comic book) and anime (cartoon) in Japan back in the early 1990's, where it gained an enormous fan following. In the mid-1990's, the anime was dubbed into English and given a brand-new fanbase in the United Staes and other English-speaking countries. Sailor Moon is probably one of the most successful Japanese series of all time. Now, the series has a fresh new look, as in October of 2003, a live-action series, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, was launched in Japan. The characters have fresh new looks and new personalities. This live-action drama is, in my opinion, the best version of the series yet, and thanks to the wonders of fan-subbing, can be appreciated by fans in other locations besides Japan. ^_^
