Sailor Moon
![]() |
Sailor Moon is a 1990s magical girl manga-turned-anime series written by Naoko Takeuchi, and was one of the gateway anime series of the early 90s when English-translated /a/ material began entering the west, alongside other giants of the era like Dragon Ball Z and Ranma 1/2.
It revolves around an ordinary Japenese high schoolgirl named Usagi Tsukino, who stops one day to rescue a cat from being bullied by a couple of little asshole kids. Said cat turns out to be a magical talking cat named Luna, and it recruits her as the first of several magic-empowered female warriors to seek out a missing princess, a quest made difficult because Luna initially doesn't really remember that many details about the princess, why she's looking for her, or what the deal is with the creepy monsters who keep showing up to steal human life-force.
This series is /tg/-relevant mainly because it's one of several popular late 80s-early 2000s anime to get licensed by Guardians of Order, either as setting splatbooks for Big Eyes, Small Mouth or fully marketed as "The Roleplaying Game" of their respective series. In fact, the Sailor Moon RPG was the very first splatbook that Guardians of Order ever did (1998), and was only the second RPG book they'd ever published at the 1997 BESM 1st Edition corebook.
