One day runs Tsukino Usagi in to a black cat with a crecent moon on her forhead. The cat is able to talk and present herself as Luna. She tells Usagi that she is the heroine Sailor Moon, who's destiny is to save earth from dark forces. It's later discoerd that Usagi is the reincarnation of the moon princess Serenity. Usagi's friends áre also Sailor Soldier. Her four closest friends and allies are; Mizuno Ami (Murcury), Hino Rei (Mars), Kino Makoto (Jupiter - is called Mako) and Aino Minako (Venus - also the owner of the male white cat Artemis, whom also has a cresent moon). Usagi's boyfriend (the relationship starts at season 2) Chiba Mamoru is the masked hero Tuxedo Kamen (tuxedo mask) who often helps the Sailor Heroines. He is the reincarnation of the earth prince Endymion, princess Serenity's boyfriend. Beside the main five heroines there are four more; Tomoe Hotaru (Saturn), Tenou Haruka (Uranus), Kaiou Michiru (Neptune) and Meiou Setsuna (Pluto, which still was a planet when this was made). The last Sailor Soldier is Sailor Chibi Moon, or Chibiusa. She is much younger and also Usagi and Mamoru's daughter from the future. Together these teenage girls (exept for Chibiusa and Hotaru who are younger) must fight to protect the planet they all love. This is the very first anime I ever watched and I still love it. Anime isn't big in my county but Sailor Moon was aired here. Well the first two season were anyway. I remember getting up just to watch this. By rediscovering Sailor Moon I discoverd the whole world of anime. After watching the whole series in original japanese language I just continued forward with series after series.
I just love Usagi's peronality. She is a real crybaby but really pure of heart. Even though she actually doesn't like fighting she will stand up and protect those dear to her. I don't think I was aware of it as a child but she was kind of a road model to me. The relationship between her and Mamoru is by the way just so sweet. A love that travels over time and refuses to let go.
This anime is funny, magical and just beautiful.
