Other Sailor Guardians join her in the search for Princess Serenity and the Silver Crystal. The story focuses on Usagi Tsukino, who is a young girl that obtains the power to become the titular character. Instead of remaking the 1990s anime series preceding it, Toei Animation produced Crystal as a reboot of Sailor Moon and as a more faithful adaptation of the original manga by omitting much of the original material from the first series.
Season 1 and 2's episodes were released twice a month. Produced by Toei Animation and directed by Munehisa Sakai (Seasons 1 and 2) and Chiaki Kon (Season 3), the series was streamed worldwide on Niconico from July 5, 2014, to July 18, 2015. Sailor Moon Crystal (known in Japan as Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal ( Japanese: 美少女戦士セーラームーン Crystal ( クリスタル ), Hepburn: Bishōjo Senshi Sērā Mūn Kurisutaru)) is a 2014 original net animation adaptation of the shōjo manga series Sailor Moon written and illustrated by Naoko Takeuchi, produced in commemoration of the original series' 20th anniversary.
