Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon

|
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon was a tokusatsu TV series in the Sailor Moon fictional universe. It ran from 2003–2004, and was a retelling of the original Bishōjo Senshi Sailor Moon story but with considerable plot divergences. It is created by the same company (Toei), the same company that produces the Super Sentai series, which is the basis for the Power Rangers television series. Billy Cranston from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to Power Rangers Zeo and Ami Mizuno are two examples of intertwining characters in both series, with the same color (blue) and same personality trait (intelligence).
The human character Sailor Luna appears only in this live-action series, but appeared as a plush cat in earlier version of the Sailor Moon franchise.
