Sailor Moon Cosmos Anime Films Retrace History in Season 1 Digest Video
Feel like you need a refresher on Sailor Guardian history before the Sailor Moon Cosmos films debut next month? Not to worry—Sailor Mercury has you covered!
A new series of digest videos kicks off today, each covering one of the story arcs leading up to Usagi’s final epic battle. The first covers the events of Season 1 of Sailor Moon Crystal: Usagi’s awakening as Sailor Moon, her meetings with Mamoru and her fellow Sailor Guardians, and her face-off with Queen Beryl. Hisako Kanemoto (the voice of Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury) serves as navigator for this refresher course.

Sailor Moon Cosmos will adapt the “final battle” from the original manga series by Naoko Takeuchi, which was previously adapted as the last arc of the original Sailor Moon anime dubbed “Sailor Moon Sailor Stars.” Cosmos‘s first film releases on June 9 while the second part enters theaters on June 30.
Cosmos continues on from the Sailor Moon Eternal two-part film, which was released in early 2021 in Japan and on Netflix on June 3 around the world. Eternal continued the Sailor Moon Crystal TV anime series, which is streaming here on Crunchyroll, which describes it as such:
Based on Naoko Takeuchi’s legendary manga series, Sailor Moon Crystal retells the story of Sailor Moon as she searches for her fellow Sailor Guardians and the Legendary Silver Crystal to stop the dark forces of Queen Beryl.
