There is a moment in Sailor Moon Eternal where Chibusa (Sailor Chibi Moon) wishes to be an adult while her mother Usagi (Sailor Moon) jests it must be nice being a spoiled child. Chibiusa insists she wants to be an adult so Mamoru (Tuxedo Mask) will look at her as a woman. If you are confused at this point, you will need to watch Sailor Moon Crystal to understand the nuances of the story. Eternal is here to give a condensed adaptation of the Dream arc of Naoko Takeuchi’s renowned Sailor Moon manga or as some veteran Sailor Moon fans remember as Sailor Moon SuperS. On that level, Eternal succeeds in condensing SuperS into two films while giving Sailor Moon a fresh visual update.

When I was first informed of the re-make of my favorite childhood series, I was ecstatic. I was head over heels for all things Sailor Moon before it was even brought over to the West. I had the trading cards, artbooks, and basically anything I could get my hands on. I watched the anime but only a few episodes a month as they were difficult to get a hold of. I wanted to learn Japanese, so I can read the manga as they were released. I copied art from the artbooks and wanted to be a manga artist. Sailor Moon inspired me to draw and was my gateway drug to all things anime.
