Sailor Moon (Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon)
Also known as: 美少女戦士セーラームーン
Usagi Tsukino is an unremarkable student whose clumsy existence changes forever when she rescues a mysterious cat bearing a crescent moon mark. The cat, Luna, reveals Usagi's destiny: to become Sailor Moon, Earth's planetary guardian against monsters spawned by the Dark Kingdom's Queen Beryl. Armed with a transformation brooch and newfound powers, Usagi must locate the Moon Kingdom's lost princess, gather the other Sailor Guardians, and recover the Legendary Silver Crystal to prevent planetary annihilation.
