Sailor Moon (Bishōjo Senshi Sērā Mūn?, officially translated as Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon) is the title of a Japanese media franchise created by Naoko Takeuchi. It is generally credited with popularizing the concept of a sentai (team) of magical girls, as well as the general (re-)emergence of the magical girl genre itself.<br /><br />The story of the various metaseries revolves around the reincarnated defenders of a kingdom that once spanned the solar system, and the evil forces that they battle. The major characters—called Sailor Senshi (literally "Sailor Soldiers"; frequently called "Sailor Scouts" in the North American version)—are teenage girls who can transform into heroines named for the moon and planets (Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, etc). The use of "Sailor" comes from a style of girls' school uniform popular in Japan, the sērā fuku (sailor outfit), after which the Senshi's uniforms are modeled. The elements of fantasy in the series are heavily symbolic and often based on mythology.<br /><br />Creation of the Sailor Moon manga was preceded by another, Codename: Sailor V, which centered around just one Sailor Senshi. Takeuchi devised the idea when she wanted to create a cute series about girls in outer space, and her editor asked her to put them in sailor fuku. When Sailor V was proposed for adaptation into an anime, the concept was modified so that Sailor V herself became only one member of a team. The resulting manga series was a fusion of the popular magical girl and sentai genres of which Takeuchi was a fan, making Sailor Moon one of the first series ever to combine the two.<br /><br />The manga resulted in spinoffs into other types of media, including a highly popular anime, as well as musical theatre productions, video games, and a live-action (tokusatsu) series. Although most concepts in the many versions overlap, there are often notable differences, and thus continuity between the different formats is limited. http://www.imeem.com/sailor-moon Delta 0 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss <tr><td><td><a href="http://www.imeem.com/sailor-moon/photo/teUTNMvH2x/"><img src="http://srv0110-06.oak1.imeem.com/g/p/e9b2079d9c0a0853bcb40459fbf061f1_thumb.jpg" /></a></td><td><a href="http://www.imeem.com/sailor-moon/photo/iAfgQkzG6g/"><img src="http://srv0204-05.sjc3.imeem.com/g/p/3f4e777f02113a8f6240226dfc32a359_thumb.jpg" /></a></td><td><a href="http://www.imeem.com/sailor-moon/photo/F-uovk_acV/"><img src="http://srv0110-07.oak1.imeem.com/g/p/80be2acb7f835ca97f3eb0f465a905e3_thumb.jpg" /></a></td><td><a href="http://www.imeem.com/sailor-moon/photo/LIsc5xiipz/"><img src="http://srv0204-02.sjc3.imeem.com/g/p/f6d7fd225df8c8fa1154e492d2115d7f_thumb.jpg" /></a></td></td></tr> Sailor Moon Fanpage Sailor Moon http://www.imeem.com/sailor-moon/playlist/9NCRQ5m3/sailor_moon_photo_playlist/ Sun, 31 Aug 2008 18:19:27 -0000 p78KFcj5tm <a href="http://www.imeem.com/sailor-moon/photo/jynSoAniRS/"><img src="http://srv0110-07.oak1.imeem.com/g/p/e0c3e2032cdc4177f30a6c047524dcf8_thumb.jpg" /></a><br /><p>Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Materials Collection (Original)</p> http://www.imeem.com/sailor-moon/photo/jynSoAniRS/ Sun, 20 Jul 2008 09:59:34 -0000 jynSoAniRS <a href="http://www.imeem.com/sailor-moon/photo/guZdFtM64l/"><img src="http://srv0204-09.sjc3.imeem.com/g/p/737b0de8aea2943fc2ae400583d24e1c_thumb.jpg" /></a><br /><p>Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Picture Collection Volume Infinity (Original)</p> http://www.imeem.com/sailor-moon/photo/guZdFtM64l/ Sun, 20 Jul 2008 09:58:30 -0000 guZdFtM64l <a href="http://www.imeem.com/sailor-moon/photo/rtc4voyKIi/"><img src="http://srv0110-07.oak1.imeem.com/g/p/dc0936339de43603b58af57ad07c8d37_thumb.jpg" /></a><br /><p>Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Picture Collection Volume V (Original)</p> http://www.imeem.com/sailor-moon/photo/rtc4voyKIi/ Sat, 19 Jul 2008 13:49:43 -0000 rtc4voyKIi <a href="http://www.imeem.com/sailor-moon/photo/3nQ4nVKOHq/"><img src="http://srv0110-04.oak1.imeem.com/g/p/6a5f23e010d0f9e36898823700a807e7_thumb.jpg" /></a><br /><p>Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Picture Collection Volume IV (Original)</p> http://www.imeem.com/sailor-moon/photo/3nQ4nVKOHq/ Sat, 19 Jul 2008 13:49:17 -0000 3nQ4nVKOHq <a href="http://www.imeem.com/sailor-moon/photo/jmBfIF6cwC/"><img src="http://srv0204-08.sjc3.imeem.com/g/p/ad2bd30bf7619412d1f9dbb17e61602b_thumb.jpg" /></a><br /><p>Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Picture Collection Volume III (Original)</p> http://www.imeem.com/sailor-moon/photo/jmBfIF6cwC/ Sat, 19 Jul 2008 13:47:10 -0000 jmBfIF6cwC <a href="http://www.imeem.com/sailor-moon/photo/EV0-lsacHD/"><img src="http://srv0204-06.sjc3.imeem.com/g/p/6fd4a16901ccfd54f4bf1c588c9a4c2a_thumb.jpg" /></a><br /><p>Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Picture Collection Volume II (Original)</p> http://www.imeem.com/sailor-moon/photo/EV0-lsacHD/ Sat, 19 Jul 2008 13:45:52 -0000 EV0-lsacHD <a href="http://www.imeem.com/sailor-moon/photo/TkBdLqZoE1/"><img src="http://srv0204-06.sjc3.imeem.com/g/p/b997dd5bbf742ca50af5094fbec0a75c_thumb.jpg" /></a><br /><p>Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Picture Collection Volume I (Original) </p> http://www.imeem.com/sailor-moon/photo/TkBdLqZoE1/ Sat, 19 Jul 2008 13:44:50 -0000 TkBdLqZoE1 COCC-32782, 2800 yen<br />Released 2004.06.23<br /><br />1.
