Storyline
"A thousand years ago, our moon was home to a great civilization ruled by Queen Serenity. Everything was peaceful until the arrival of the evil Queen Beryl. To conquer the moon, Queen Beryl unleashed the awesome power of the Negaforce. Although her world was destroyed, Queen Serenity's last hope was the power of the imperium silver crystal and the crescent moon wand. Trapped in moon beam crystals, the queen sent the princess, Princess Serena/Serenity, and the children of the moon to the future on earth. Their memories lost to them all, the queen's cat advisors Luna and Artemis must find the princess so she will at last be safe. And so our story begins..." (Narrator, Episode 1: A Moon Star is Born)
Sailor Moon
The first season of Sailor Moon begins with Serena, a 14 year old teenager, who finds out from a cat named Luna that she is a Sailor Scout. She transforms into Sailor Moon, finding out that she is the chosen one, destined to fight against a powerful evil force led by Queen Beryl who is fixated on world domination by stealing enough energy from humans to fuel their attack. As the season progresses, four other Sailor Scouts are discovered - Sailor Mercury (Amy), Sailor Mars (Rei), Sailor Jupiter (Lita), and Sailor Venus (Mina), as well as another cat guardian named Artemis. A mysterious masked man, Tuxedo Mask, who often shows up in the nick of time to aid the Sailor Scouts also appear, they battle many monsters of the Negaverse. Their main missions was to find the Moon Princess. They find out later the she was right in front of their eyes; Serena was the Moon Princess. Also, they finally discover the true identity of Tuxedo Mask, his name is Darien. Unfortunately, during a battle, Tuxedo mask is injured protecting Sailor Moon and is taken away by Queen Beryl.
In Queen Beryl's realm, Tuxedo Mask is brainwashed and is forced to fight against the Sailor Scouts. Serena, who is destined to be with Darien (Tuxedo Mask), is determined to get him back. Later, the Scouts find Queen Beryl's secret domain, in the North Pole, and go there to rescue Tuxedo Mask and to prevent the Negaforce from launching an attack against the world. At the North Pole, one by one, the Sailor Scouts are slowly killed until only Sailor Moon remains. It is at this time that she is swept away and is taken to meet with Queen Beryl. There, Queen Beryl orders Tuxedo Mask (also known as Prince Darien) to retrieve Sailor Moon's Silver Imperium Crystal. Fortunately, Sailor Moon is able to free him by showing him her star locket, a gift given to her long ago by him. In the final battle between Princess Serena (Sailor Moon) and Queen Beryl, Serena, along with the spirits of her fellow Sailor Scouts, defeat Queen Beryl, saving the universe. Concluding the first season, Serena and her four friends remember nothing as Sailor Scouts. They do not remember each other or who they were, and are allowed to live their lives normally.
Sailor Moon R
The second season, Sailor Moon R, is a continuation of the first season. The memories of the Sailor Scouts are given back to them as a new evil force threatens earth once more. This time, by two aliens named Anne and Alan who pose as students at the local junior high school, stealing energy to feed their Doom Tree which is the only thing that keeps them alive. Throughout this half of this season, monsters called "Cardians" try to steal energy from humans to feed the Doom Tree. Eventually, with the help of Sailor Moon, both Anne and Alan find out that the way to live their lives is through love. Sailor Moon heals the tree while Anne and Alan get a second chance to start over. This first half of the season is unimportant to this as it only serves the purpose of reintroducing Sailor Moon and the other Sailor Scouts.
The second half of the first season begins with Serena and Darien as a couple. In the first episode, Serena and Darien are in the park together, about to kiss each other, when all of a sudden, a child with pink hair falls from the sky into Darien's arms, landing on top of Serena. This child's name is Reenie, she was sent from the future called "Crystal Tokyo" in search of her mother in the past and the silver crystal. Unfortunately, shortly after Rini's arrival, Darien has nightmares of Serena being hurt if he doesn't stay away from her. As a result, Darien breaks up with Serena, crushing her heart. Also, new enemies are then introduced including Rubeus and the four sisters - Catsy, Birdie, Prisma, and Avery from the "Dark-Moon". These people are sent by someone called the "Wiseman" from the future to try to stop Reenie and disrupt the past of Tokyo so that the forces of the Dark-Moon will have an easier time taking over Crystal Tokyo of the future.
