It’s time for the modern retelling of the Sailor Moon saga to come to an end with the upcoming Netflix release of the Sailor Moon Cosmos films. The two-part theatrical project originally opened in Japan in June 2023, and now both are on their way to Netflix on August 22, 2024.

A new trailer arrived to prepare everyone for the English release of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Cosmos the Movie. Check it out below!

The first part of Sailor Moon Cosmos was released in Japanese theaters on June 9, 2023, followed by the second part’s debut on June 30.

The movies were made at Toei Animation, with the prolific Tomoya Takahashi working as the director for both. The scripts were written by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu, who was also the writer behind Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal. As a real throwback, Kazuko Tadano, who did character design for the 90s anime, is back to do character design for the films. Yumiko Soraga is credited for art direction. Yasuharu Takanashi, who has worked in the Sailor Moon franchise before, as well as major titles like Naruto Shippuden and Fairy Tail, was tasked with composing the music.

Sailor Moon is one of the most successful manga and anime franchises of all time. Kodansha publishes the original manga in English, and gave this description for it:

Sailor Moon Plot
Usagi Tsukino is a normal girl until she meets up with Luna, a talking cat, who tells her that she is Sailor Moon. As Sailor Moon, Usagi must fight evils and enforce justice, in the name of the Moon and the mysterious Moon Princess. She meets other girls destined to be Sailor Senshi (Sailor Scouts), and together, they fight the forces of evil!
