Known in Japan as ''Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon'' (and given the non-literal English title of ''Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon''), '''''Sailor Moon''''' is a manga and anime series that fused the [[Sentai]] and [[Magical Girl]] genres. Created by pharmacist-turned-manga author [[Naoko Takeuchi]], ''
''Sailor Moon'' is the story of Usagi Tsukino ("Serena" in the North American dub), a clumsy, lazy, underachieving 14-year-old crybaby schoolgirl whose life is completely changed when she meets a talking cat. The cat, Luna, tells her that she is a predestined magical warrior who must find the reincarnated princess of a lost kingdom of magic while, at the same time, defending Earth against the forces of the extra-dimensional evil responsible for the fall of said kingdom. In the course of a year, Usagi discovers other reincarnated warriors, learns how to be a leader, and discovers a secret power within herself that puts the combined force of the other Sailor Senshi to shame. In the end, she must find the courage to confront the evil mastermind behind the Dark Kingdom, sacrificing everything in her attempt to destroy it forever. Subsequent seasons go through a similar pattern with [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil|the strength of each set of foes escalating]].
Line 21:
The manga has a [[Prequel]] to ''Sailor Moon'', which is ''[[Codename: Sailor V]]'' (it's a prequel of sorts, anyway; the first issue was released before ''Sailor Moon'', but the series itself was finished afterwards). There is also a set of [[The Musical|stage musicals]] known as ''[[Sera Myu]]'', an apocryphal Super Famicom RPG titled ''[[Sailor Moon: Another Story]]'', and various other video game releases. There was also an aborted American live action/animation blend adaption by a company called Toon Makers which was pitched to Toei instead of the dub but it didn't get picked up and the only footage ever released to the public is a two minute music video that was put together using the pilot they produced. This adaptation was going to be rather...different, shall we say, and more information on that can be found at ''[[Toon Makers Sailor Moon]]''.
Do not mention the [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon|live-action version]], the [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: Crystal|reboot]], the [[Sera Myu|musical]], or the [[Sailor Moon: Another Story|video game]] here. Put tropes relating to those specific entries on the appropriate pages.
