Sailor Moon .. Introduction

Sailor Moon is possibly the best known shoujo anime in the world. Spawned from the hugely popular manga by Naoko Takeuchi, it runs for an impressive length of 200 episodes, 4 specials, and 3 movies... plus countless games, soundtracks and other goodies as well, and has been televised in a myriad of countries around the globe.

Sailor Moon is based around the story of Usagi Tsukino (Serena in english), your average ditzy anime schoolgirl. She discovers she is a the reincarnation of a princess from an ancient moon civilisation, and must now defend the earth from evil attacks, along with her allies the sailor senshi. This is one of my old favourites; a very enjoyable series to watch, particularly for fans of the shoujo genre. While the english dub is more than appropriate for all ages, the original japanese version was aimed at an older teenage audience, and may have some inappropriate themes for younger viewers. I'd recommend it as a good series to watch, but more for shoujo and comedy fans; anime fans of action-based series would probably not enjoy it greatly.
