In SAILOR MOON R, Usagi
and her friends return to their normal lives after their epic battle,
but the Sailor Guardians are called back into action when powerful new
enemies appear. By the power of the Legendary Silver Crystal, Sailor
Moon gains strength with a dazzling new attach and transformation. The
coming battle won't be easy, but things get even more complicated when a
mysterious pink-haired girl falls form the sky and goes after Mamoru!
The SAILOR MOON anime series depicts the adventures of Usagi
Tsukino, a cheerful 14-year-old schoolgirl who often finds herself in
unwanted trouble. One day, she saves a talking cat named Luna from some
mean kids, and her life is changed forever. Luna gives Usagi a magic
brooch that transforms her into Sailor Moon, guardian of love and
justice! Now Usagi must work with Luna to find the other Sailor
Guardians and the Moon Princess, whose Legendary Silver Crystal is
Earth’s only hope against the dark forces of the evil Queen Beryl!
The SAILOR MOON anime series is inspired by the bestselling manga (graphic novel) series created by Naoko
Takeuchi (published in North America by Kodansha). In the series, Usagi
Tsukino is a clumsy but kindhearted teenage girl who transforms into
the powerful guardian of love and justice, Sailor Moon. Meeting allies
along the way who share similar fates, Usagi and her team of planetary
Sailor Guardians fight to protect the universe from forces of evil and
total annihilation!
