Changes Made in Canon[]

Some differences between Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon and the other incarnations of the metaseries include:

  • Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, and Sailor Venus don't have their colored hair until they transform.
  • All the Sailor Guardians have different transformation items.
  • Minako Aino is a pop idol, rather than being a normal schoolgirl like the other Sailor Senshi (who dreams of becoming an idol in the manga and anime, but never does). She is also more serious and strict than in the other incarnations where she is cheerful and funny.
  • The Game Center Crown has become a karaoke parlor.
  • Motoki changes from an attractive, suave, character to a socially awkward but loveable turtle fan.
  • Luna and Artemis are plush toys rather than real cats.
  • Luna also becomes a Sailor Senshi, known as Sailor Luna, more or less taking the place of Sailor Chibi Moon (Artemis never takes human form).
    • When Luna becomes a human, it shows that she is a child instead of an adult.
  • Mio Kuroki is a younger, shadow version of Queen Beryl that only appeared in the live-action version, whereas she never appeared in the metaseries. She was the only one who Minako mistrusted because of her intent to cause pain to Usagi and later Rei saw her for who she was.
  • Sailor Mercury turns evil and becomes Dark Mercury which is unique to this series.
  • Sailor Moon has an upgraded form, known as Princess Sailor Moon. However, Princess Serenity had full control of it, causing an internal conflict between her and Usagi for the rest of the series. This is reminiscent of Hotaru and Sailor Saturn in other parts of the franchise who are initially separate beings but they merged together with no disagreement or conflict with one another.
  • Only two people die in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: one and two.

Trivia[]

  • This series is the first new property to release with the current English title for the entire franchise: "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon." The manga and 90's anime were written as "Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon" in Japan when the series released. With the re-release of the manga on September 22, 2003, the English title of the series of the title was changed to the current "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon". This TV show launched two weeks later on October 4, 2003.
  • Sailor Moon was concieved as a mashup between Magical Girl and Tokusatsu genres and the format of this show sees Sailor Moon come even closer to shows like La Belle Fille Masquée Poitrine which inspired it.
  • This is the first live action tv series adaptation of Sailor Moon.
    • There was an attempt in 1995 to make an American remake of Sailor Moon which would've been part western animation and part live action. However, this was turned down. Had it happened, PGSM would've been the second live action tv series adaptation.
