Sailor Moon FAQ and Resources
Where can I download Sailor Moon episodes?
The Sailor Moon Center all of the episodes and all of the movies and specials in high quality download. It also has a video player that can support mkv files available for download. Here is a link.
http://www.sailormooncenter.net/
Also, I imagine if you search hard enough on Youtube and Veoh, you can find all of them. I don’t know if this still applies, but I was told you could get high quality eps searching Sailor Moon dub.
Where can I download the Sailor Moon manga?
Miss Dream is a translation site that has recently finished translating the entire manga, including sidestories. They are not perfect, but they are better than Mixx. http://missdream.reisei-sa.net/
StarryHeaven also did a good scanlation (I think it was better than Miss Dreams, because the fonts and formatting were prettier and better and I appreciate the inclusion of honorifics especially in the case of the nicknames Usagi and Mamoru have for each other- though they also leave stuff untranslated they really shouldn’t, such as “Legendary Silver Crystal” and “dumpling head” though at least they explain it all) of the first 12 chapters which I used for my scans_daily posts. Available here (the first 12 chapters) along with the Mixx chapters:

BUT. The reprint manga is finally being released in America, and I really recommend everyone get that. It will be fantastic, and worth it. Like all manga, it’s pretty cheap, and you can support Sailor Moon and hopefully we’ll get more rereleases! And hey, the twentieth anniversary is acomin, who knows, even new material?
What was that about Mixx?
These were the original translations released in the US. Mixx translations were notoriously awful. The translators made tons of stupid mistakes and it was just plain inaccurate (the most famous bit being when when Hotaru was quoting a William Blake Poem and the translators DID NOT EVEN REALIZE IT and ended up translating it really wrongly). In addition, they used the dub names for the most part (though Usagi was at least called “Bunny” which is…better than Serena, though Chibiusa is still inexplicably “Rini” as apparently Serena is Bunny’s real name IT MAKES NO SENSE…and they wised up by the time Haruka and Michiru came on) and everything had the crap Americanized out of it and the art was flopped and…in addition, Japan got very shiny reprint additions when the Sailor Moon live action came out, where Naoko Takeuchi updated the art and it was done all high quality!
When is the reprint manga being released?
The first volume of Sailor Moon (chapters 1-6, and half of the first arc) and Codename: Sailor V (half of the fifteen chapter manga) was released September 13th. From there, the releases will be following a bi-monthly schedule
Where can I get the reprint manga?
A lot of places, including Amazon and Barnes and Noble, etc. Volumes of Sailor Moon and both volumes of Sailor V are already available for preorder at this point.
However, it is probably cheapest at Amazon, at 7.14. Here’s Moonkitty.net’s links to all the Amazon Pre-order pages! Preorder the manga!
Where are your scans_daily posts on the first arc of the Sailor Moon manga and first chapter of Sailor V, and your essays on the Sailor Moon manga?
No one’s ever asked me this, but I figure I might as well give links- here is my series of posts of scanlated scans of the first arc of the Sailor Moon manga, with commentary.

Where do I download Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (the Sailor Moon Live Action)?
Surprisingly, I’ve never been asked this, but hey, might as well. The TV Nihon download. And yes, you should watch it if you like Sailor Moon. It’s got cheesy, low budget effects and some occasional low budget acting as well, but it’s good Sailor Moon and full of win.
Where do you get your doujinshi?
I usually include a source in the start and end posts, as well as the name. I get it primarily from Miss Dream and Lililicious.
