Sailor Moon (美少女戦士セーラームーン, Bishōjo Senshi Sērā Mūn, Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon) is an anime series based on a manga by Naoko Takeuchi. There are 200 episodes in the five series, which originally aired on TV Asahi between 7 March 1992 and 8 February 1997. An English-language adaptation was produced following the popularity of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in North America. Dubbed by DiC, most of the first two series aired in 1995-1996 on YTV, with the remaining few episodes released in 1997-1998. Later, the third and fourth series were dubbed by Cloverway, airing in 2000, also on the YTV network. The fifth series has not been dubbed into English, although it has been dubbed into other languages.
