If you are looking for the original 1992 anime, see Sailor Moon. If you want the Live Action Adaptation, see Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.

Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon: Crystal in Japanese. This is the 2014 Re Boot of the Sailor Moon anime, featuring an art style reminiscent of the original Sailor Moon manga, and what appears to be a significantly telescoped plotline compared to the original.

Can be viewed for free (and without subscribing) on Hulu.

Tropes used in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: Crystal include:
  • Action Girl: Right from the first few words of the theme song, it's very clear that this reboot not only embraces the original "girl power" themes underlying the original Sailor Moon, but extends and expands them.
  • Anime Theme Song: Following in the footsteps of the Live Action Adaptation, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: Crystal uses a new theme written for it instead of the venerable "Midnite Densetsu".
  • Magical Girl: The original Magic Warriors series, back again for another go-round with 21st-Century sensibilities.
