Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon
A string of strange crimes are affecting Tokyo. A mysterious masked crusader known only as Sailor V has been spotted fighting crime. But what does that matter when you’re a teen girl who loves hanging out at the arcade and sleeping? Meet 14 year old student, and self-professed cry baby, Usagi Tsukino. She’s pretty scatter-brained and a shining example of how not to succeed as a student at Jūban Public Middle School.
After a particularly busy day of being late to school, helping a stray cat (with a really weird moon shaped bald spot), and avoiding her mom’s wrath about her grades, Usagi learns that she has even more on her plate.
The stray cat from earlier jumps through Usagi’s window to tell her that she has been looking all over for her…and that it is not a bald spot, rude. The kitty’s name is actually Luna, and she has an important message for our young friend.
Usagi is a Chosen Guardian, known as Sailor Moon, with an important mission: assemble her team of guardians, defeat the enemy, and protect the princess. Only, there are a few problems. Luna still isn’t quite sure where the other guardians are, who the enemy is, and how to find the princess.
Wasn’t it enough that Usagi failed her English test today?!
With Usagi investigating the strange crimes and and Luna using her tracking ability, the team soon includes sensitive brawler Makoto (Sailor Jupiter), hotheaded Shinto priestess Rei (Sailor Mars), girl-genius Ami (Sailor Mercury), and even Sailor V herself!
