“We

featuring fun in the sun for our favorite Guardians. Join in the fun this Friday evening!”

the VIZ Media staff, who will answer questions and offer little known
facts about SAILOR MOON R and the evening’s streamed episodes. Viewers

including posters, art cards, t-shirts and more! Viewers will be able to

In SAILOR MOON R, Usagi
and her friends return to their normal lives after their epic battle,
but the Sailor Guardians are called back into action when powerful new
enemies appear. By the power of the Legendary Silver Crystal, Sailor
Moon gains strength with a dazzling new attach and transformation. The
coming battle won't be easy, but things get even more complicated when a
mysterious pink-haired girl falls form the sky and goes after Mamoru!
Home media pre-orders are available now from all major online retailers for the classic SAILOR MOON R anime series which will be released on July 14th
as a Limited Edition Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack and also as a Standard DVD
edition. The new SAILOR MOON R Set 1 Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack and Standard DVD Set are rated “TV-PG” and contain
Episodes 47-68 along with special premium packaging and notable bonus
features. The new sets notably include the previously unaired Episode
67: “The Beach, the Island and a Vacation: The Guardian’s Break,” which was never broadcast or released during the SAILOR MOON’s original North American run.
The smash hit SAILOR MOON anime series is inspired by the bestselling manga (graphic novel) series created by Naoko
Takeuchi (published in North America by Kodansha). In the series, Usagi
Tsukino is a clumsy but kindhearted teenage girl who transforms into
the powerful guardian of love and justice, Sailor Moon. Meeting allies
along the way who share similar fates, Usagi and her team of planetary
Sailor Guardians fight to protect the universe from forces of evil and
total annihilation!

MOON Season 1 also is available from VIZ Media on home video as Limited
Edition Blu-ray/DVD Combo Packs and Standard Edition DVD sets. Fans
