A long time ago there was a kingdom on the moon. On this moon there was a queen and a princess. One night there was a lovely party going on and Queen Serenity had invited many guests. The princess was having a wonderful time and was courting the prince of Earth, Prince Darien. But then the evil Queen Beryl came and attacked the wonderful moon kingdom. Queen Serenity knew that she was after the silver crystal so she used it to put the moon princess Serena in a bubble and send her into the future where she would be safe. Sent along with the moon princess was her court of princesses from the planets Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. Prince Darien too, was sent into the future on Earth.
On Earth they were all born to parents and grew up not knowing about their ancient past. On the first episode Serena is confronted by a cat from the old moon kingdom who can talk! The cat (Luna) told serena about her past and gave her a brooch that would allow her to transform into Sailor moon! So Serena was now totally like a superhero!
The first season is spent with the Sailor Scouts fighting Queen Beryle's minions and then eventually defeating her at the end of the season.They would fight monsters with their unique attacks and be narrowly saved by Tuxedo Mask (Darien) quite often. Do the scouts still need their powers now that Queen beryl is vaquished? Luna and Artemis(Mina's talking cat) don't think so, so the girls go back to being normal girls and have no memory that they were once superheroes untill one day a new threat came to earth and they had to get rid of a normal life once again...
Ok, I hope that gives you the idea of the story. Now the overview. Every season there is a new villain, the first, of course, being Queen Beryl. The fighting in this show is not very good, but it is meant for younger kids (Even though I've seen ages up to the 20's watch it). So if you like action packed anime like DBZ, this is NOT the show for you. All of the fighting it invovles is one of the sailor scouts using their attack to hinder the monster and then Sailor Moon always using her attack to finish it. Not very imaginable. On the plus side, the comedy is funny and the character devolpment is great. Although most fans are girls, I guess there's something about the show that has a lot of guys watching it too...(could it be the short skirts?)
*The kind of person who should watch this? Anyone with an attention span larger than a mouse.
