Still, even if you aren't a huge fan and haven't watched any of the other adaptations or read the manga, you can likely find something to enjoy in this entertaining if sometimes dense double bill. That's the most basic setup but Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal is a lot more complex. The series is most well remembered for the transformation sequences in which the teenage girls turn into their superpowered alter-egos, as well as a hilarious English dub that accompanied the '90s reruns.
Her goal? To save the world from evil forces alongside her fellow Sailor Guardians: Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus. If you're unfamiliar with Sailor Moon, it follows a young girl named Usagi Tsukino who - thanks to her friendship with a cat named Luna - gains the power to transform into the titular hero. And with stunning animation that manages to combine the art style of Takeuchi's original manga with the beloved '90s cartoon, this is a must-watch for anime fans, animation lovers, and anyone who enjoys magical pastel-hued adventures. And it was worth the - admittedly - short wait.Ĭontinuing where the recent remake Sailor Moon Crystal left off, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal acts as a fourth season of the popular reimagining as well as working as a stand-alone pair of movies that adapt the famous Dream arc of the original comics. Released in cinemas in Japan earlier this year, the streamer is bringing the newest additions to Sailor Moon canon to US shores far sooner than expected. Almost 30 years since the original series debuted in Japan, Sailor Moon has not one but two new films debuting on Netflix. Your favorite shows from Steven Universe to Teen Titans Go, Adventure Time to Craig of the Creek, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, and even South Park have all been influenced by the iconic anime. Naoko Takeuchi's seminal magical girl manga and the anime series it inspired shaped generations of viewers and creators. It's hard to overestimate the impact of Sailor Moon.
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal The Movie is available to stream on Netflix.
