 After encountering a talking cat, school girl Usagi Tsukino becomes the soldier for love and justice, Sailor Moon. Building up through 40 weekly episodes, Sailor Moon parodies the genre of Japanese Animation known as "Magical Girls." Rather than presenting us with a heroine who is a cut above the rest, we find one who is several kilometers below. However she deals with her short comings, and fights for good with her friends, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus, and Sailor Mercury.
