Sailor Moon Eternal, a duology of feature length animated films adapting the manga’s Dream arc, premiered in Japan back in January 2021 and dropped on Netflix the following June. This duology was highly anticipated since Sailor Moon Crystal was effectively cancelled after its well-received third season, and while some were concerned it might lack the runtime to adapt the arc authentically, the response was overwhelmingly positive. The only question that remained was when the final arc of the manga, Stars, would get the same treatment. Now, nearly a year later, we have our answer.
Set for a Summer 2023 release, a new duology of films titled Sailor Moon Cosmos will finish what Sailor Moon Crystal began, a faithful—at times perhaps too faithful—adaptation of Naoko Takeuchi’s iconic manga. This final arc will bring in fan favorite characters (and fetish ball inspirations) the Sailor Starlights, the polarizing Chibi Chibi, the ultimate villain,...

If you don’t know what “Tudum” is, allow Regina King, Álvaro Morte, Idris Elba, Chris Hemsworth, Millie Bobby Brown and dozens more of Netflix’s biggest stars to tell you.
“Tudum… or not Tudum?” that is the question “Sex Education” star Ncuti Gatwa asks (as Kedar Williams-Stirling cracks up beside him) in a comedic teaser, which explains that “tudum” is the way to spell out the sound you hear when you press play on Netflix.
And now, Tudum is also the name of the streamer’s first ever global fan event.
Netflix announced today that the inaugural Tudum celebration will be held on Sept. 25, with more than 70 of the streamer’s properties represented during a three-hour virtual show, where talent from fan-favorite Netflix series, films and specials will reveal exclusive news and unveil first-look trailers and clips.
The fan event will also feature interactive panels and conversations with the creators and stars,...

For nearly seven decades, animation studio Toei Animation Co. has relied on recognizable franchises, including pirate adventure “One Piece” and fantasy “Dragon Ball,” in making itself a leader.
But publishing platforms are now such that just about anyone can distribute animation, or so be moaned Toei Animation president Katsuhiro Takagi two years ago.
“I feel that the number of hits is small compared to the number of works that are out in the world,” he says. “How do you now make a profit from animation works that are expensive to produce?” The pandemic proved to be a challenge of another sort. But investors are sanguine that the company can come up with an answer to the president’s question — its stock price has more than doubled over the past year — and advances in technology and a further tapping of the overseas market will be keys.
Despite its success, the industry suffers from labor shortages.

Photo: ‘Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal: The Movie’/Netflix ‘Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal: The Movie’ – the first Sailor Moon feature film in over 26 years – just hit Netflix after a successful theatrical run in Japan. This 2021 revival comes at a great time for Sailor Moon fans hoping for more content and new viewers getting acquainted with the decades-long IP. Overall, the film is an exciting, magical foray into the Sailor Moon world! The new release is split into two feature-length parts (Part One and Part Two) and follows the beloved Sailor Guardians as they fight against a universe-shattering threat – the Dead Moon Circus. This review is for ‘Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal: The Movie’ Part One – but both films are available to stream online. Technically, the film is a direct continuation of the ‘Sailor Moon Crystal’ anime series. However, it’s pretty palatable for all audiences and can be watched without the contextual tee-up.

This Sailor Moon Eternal review contains No spoilers! Read on with confidence.
Back in 2016, the final episode of Sailor Moon Crystal closed out the manga’s “Infinity” arc and in its last moments teased what every fan was hoping for next, something we’d all been deprived of for far too long… a faithful adaptation of the manga’s fourth arc, entitled “Dream.”
The premise of “Dream” is that on the day of the solar eclipse, the Dead Moon Circus, an ancient enemy of Silver Millennium (the Moon Kingdom) appears in Tokyo. Their leader, a withered hag named Zirconia, sends her minions to locate the Silver Crystal—big surprise—as well as a new MacGuffin called the Golden Crystal. This is so her mistress, Nehelenia, can step up as the rightful ruler, or so she claims, of both Silver Millennium and Earth. Around this time, a Pegasus appears to Chibi-usa,...

Sailor Moon Eternal: ...
Sailor Moon is one of the most well-known anime from the last 30 years. Based on a manga that first launched in 1991, the series has been adapted into a beloved 200-episode anime, several films, a live-action drama, and more recently, an anime reboot called Sailor Moon Crystal. And if that legacy weren’t enough, we can now add another film to the franchise: Sailor Moon Eternal.
What Is Sailor Moon Eternal?
As previously mentioned, Sailor Moon Eternal is the latest addition to the Sailor Moon franchise. It’s a two-part anime film based on the Dream arc of the original manga.
