Where to Watch Sailor Moon in New Zealand

Sailor Moon has built a reputation that precedes it, and right now it's all available in the US on Hulu and YouTube TV. Kotono Mitsuishi leads a cast that brings something genuine to every episode.

Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Sailor Moon from the crowd. One day, Usagi Tsukino, clumsy 2nd-year middle school student, stumbles upon a talking cat named Luna. Luna tells her that she is destined to be Sailor Moon, "champion of love and justice", and she must search for the fabled Moon Princess. Usagi finds friends that turn out to be destined senshi as well, and together they fight to save the world from the certain doom brought upon by the Dark Kingdom. Kotono Mitsuishi and Aya Hisakawa lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 5 seasons (1992–1997), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh rather than just smile politely, Sailor Moon is a strong candidate — fans of The Adventures of the Little Prince will recognise the sensibility immediately. It works alone or with company.
