She is then tasked with awakening the other Sailor Senshi, locating the Moon Princess, finding the Legendary Silver Crystal, and keeping Tokyo safeall while trying to live as a normal girl! Sailor Moon began as a manga, but has two anime series, live action shows, musicals, and much much more! Have you watched Sailor Moon?
