Art of Sailor Moon
/
Sailor Moon (also titled Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon) is an animation series produced by Toei Animation, and co-directed by Junichi Sato, Kunihiko Ikuhara and Takuya Igarashi in 1992. The anime was based on the homonym manga series written and illustrated by Naoko Takeuchi. She redeveloped Sailor Moon from her 1991 manga serial Codename: Sailor V, and featured Sailor Venus as the main protagonist. When Codename: Sailor V was proposed for adaptation into an anime by Toei Animation, Takeuchi redeveloped the concept so Sailor Venus became a member of a team. Recurring motifs include astronomy, astrology, gemology, Greek and Roman mythology, teen fashions, and schoolgirl antics. Takeuchi said discussions with Kodansha originally envisaged a single story arc; the storyline was developed in meetings a year before serialization began. After completing the arc, Toei and Kodansha asked Takeuchi to continue the series, and she wrote four more story arcs, which were often published simultaneously with the five corresponding seasons of the anime adaptation. The anime ran one or two months behind the manga. As a result, the anime follows the storyline of the manga fairly closely, although there are deviations.
