Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (First episode preview, new clips)

For your convenience we've coalesced our in-depth Live Action Sailor Moon coverage into one directory. Be sure to check out the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon archives for all our articles!

[Update 10/11/03- You can now download the clips in a convenient bundle from Starcat's page. Thanks! trans.html]

The official Sailor Moon page has been updated with a description of the events of the first episode. Thanks to Julian G. for the update notice. We've got the translation for you. (As always, we don't mind if you quote this in places, just mention where you got it from.)

Rather normal 2nd year middle school student Tsukino Usagi, as always, woke up late today. In what has become a normal routine, the television was blaring about another stolen jewel incident, but the news said that the 'ally of justice' Sailor V managed to 'resolve' the incident. Usagi begins longing to be like Sailor V... and finds herself late again, leaving the house at the very last second. As she's running truant to school, she finds an old, beaten up stuffed cat doll, with a curious crescent moon shape on its brow. When Usagi passes to the next street, the cat's crescent mark begins to glow... That night, next to her pillow, Usagi finds the doll again!

The cat announces her name to be "Luna" and tells Usagi that Tsukino Usagi is none other than the "Pretty Guardian" warrior of the moon, "Sailor Moon" whose mission is to fight against the dark organization which has recently been causing trouble on earth. Usagi doesn't really believe this though...

The next day, as Usagi is happily shopping, she finds an ad page announcing that her best friend Naru's mother is holding a Jewelry exhibition at a meeting hall-- and this will turn into a crisis for our young hero. This 'exhibition' was actually a trap! Just as Luna had said, the cause was the 'dark organization,' whose 'youma' had possessedd Naru's mother. Being able to sense danger (because she is the "Pretty Guardian" of the Moon), Usagi goes to face the challenge.

Now Sailor Moon's battle truly begins!

Our friend Cindra has moved her pages over here to Genvid where you don't have to worry about the bandwidth bursting, so you may want to update your bookmarks. Lets take a look at some of the new movies and pictures she's got up for you. To begin with, collages from the various promos.

"Pres Butan" to make bigger.

And she's got a new promo commercial for you, located <this-a-way>. The "Rei" promo is <over here>. (Mirrors hopefully coming up later tonight. And the < > per Rick's suggestion because the way the highlighting works on this page, you can't see the links when the mouse is over them.) There's also <this clip> which, notes Cindra, "This is a promo featuring her reaction to the transformation of Sailor Moon...it's really cute." And lastly <here> "I think this is a pep talk before they went to the press conference...it might be a clip from the make-up special that I am not sure of yet." There are even more promos on the media pages there, so take a good look around. [If the links aren't working, let me know-- J]
