Sailor Moon, known in Japan as Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon(Japanese: 美少女戦士セーラームーン Hepburn: Bishōjo Senshi Sērā Mūn?), is the first season of a 1992 anime television series produced by Toei Animation and directed by Junichi Sato based on the manga of the same title by Naoko Takeuchi. It was broadcast from March 7, 1992 to February 27, 1993 on TV Asahi. This season adapts the first arc of the series, the "Dark Kingdom" arc. A second season, Sailor Moon R, began airing on March 6, 1993.
It follows the adventures of Usagi Tsukino and her friends. After discovering her true identity as the titular character from the magical cat Luna, Usagi fights to protect the Earth from the Dark Kingdom, who previously destroyed the ancient Moon Kingdom.
