Netflix today revealed that the latest installment in the hugely successful franchise, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal The Movie Part 1 & Part 2 will be premiering globally on Netflix (outside of Japan) on June 3, 2021.

Created by Naoko Takeuchi and first serialized in Kodansha’s manga magazine ‘Nakayosi’ in December 1991, the stories of Sailor Moon and the Sailor Guardians fighting for love and justice have captivated audiences all over the world. From a hit TV series in the 90s that was broadcast in more than 40 countries to more than 30 million sold copies worldwide of the original manga, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon has established herself as an iconic character like no other, standing the test of time with a loyal fanbase across the globe.

“Like so many others around the world, I trace my love for anime back to watching Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon when I was a toddler – pictures of me in Usagi’s Bun Head have become a family treasure. It’s no surprise that these characters and tales about love and justice still touch the hearts of so many fans around the world,” said Ema Hirayama, Manager, Content Acquisition, Netflix. “It’s a dream come true for all of us at Netflix to have ‘Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal The Movie’ join our expansive anime slate and to share this incredible story with fans around the world.”

The theme of the upcoming movies is ‘Dreams’. Based on the ‘Dream Arc’ of the original hit manga series, the story is about the Sailor Guardians’ growth, both as teenage girls and as Sailor Guardians, as well as the faint first love of Chibi-Usa and Helios.

Guided by the light of the moon, we meet again with Sailor Moon and we couldn’t be more excited to share her latest stories with fans everywhere soon. Here are a few words from Fumio Osano, Naoko Takeuchi’s longtime editor, on this beautiful next chapter in the longrunning history of ‘Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon’.

A message from Fumio Osano, Editor-in-Chief, Comic IP Development Team (Kodansha):

“We have long been hoping to bring ‘Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal The Movie’ to people around the world since the initial release in Japan in January and February, 2021.

Today, we are excited to bring these movies to our fans through Netflix. Amidst these challenging times, it is our greatest pleasure for viewers to feel courage and hope by watching this story about love and justice.”
