List of Sailor Moon R episodes

The anime series logo, which translates to "Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon R"

The second season of the Sailor Moon anime series, titled Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon R (美少女戦士セーラームーンR, Bishōjo Senshi Sērā Mūn Āru), was produced by Toei Animation and directed by Junichi Sato and Kunihiko Ikuhara. The season began broadcasting on TV Asahi between March 6, 1993 and ended on March 12, 1994, lasting 43 episodes. According to "Nakayosi Anime Album Sailor Moon R", the letter "R" represents "Rabbit", the codename for Chibiusa.

Overview

Production for this season took place concurrently with that of the second story-arc (Black Moon) of the manga by Naoko Takeuchi, closely following the story of the manga. Sailor Moon was originally intended by Takeuchi to run only one season, but the first became so popular that Toei asked Takeuchi to keep drawing her manga. At first, she struggled with developing another storyline to extend the series. The premise she settled on, introducing the daughter of Sailor Moon from the future, came from her editor, Fumio Osano.

Because the production of both manga and anime occurred at the same time, Sailor Moon R begins with a 13-episode sub-arc that does not appear in the manga, created to give Takeuchi time to catch up. This story features the Sailor Senshi regaining their memories and encountering the Makaiju aliens: it has become known as the Makaiju arc (or "Doom Tree" in the English-language dub). The main story arc explores the future of all the Senshi in a utopian city called Crystal Tokyo, ruled over by Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion. New characters introduced include Chibiusa, Sailor Pluto, and (in the manga) Diana. The Black Moon Clan, led by the Wiseman, function as the primary villains.

The English-language dub, produced by DIC Entertainment, included an educational segment called "Sailor Says", at the end of each episode — to teach a moral based on the story shown. In its first airing, the English Sailor Moon series consisted of just 65 episodes, 40 of them taken from the first season. The 12 completed episodes of the Chibiusa/Black Moon arc were shown first, then the 13 Makaiju episodes from the start of the season. The remaining 17 episodes of the Black Moon arc were not released for another three years, billed by Cartoon Network as "the lost episodes." One episode from the season, involving Chibiusa's friendship with a dinosaur, was omitted from the dub and is not included the subtitled DVD releases.

In the 1994 "favorite episode" polls for Animage, "Protect Chibiusa! Clash of the 10 Warriors" came in eighth place. The following year, "The Final Battle Between Light and Darkness! Love Sworn to the Future" came in seventh place.

The arc used "Moonlight Densetsu" as its opening theme music, with a closing theme of "Otome no Policy" ("Maiden's Policy"), performed by Yoko Ishida. There were 2 versions of the opening theme, the first having more generic visuals, the second more closely following and representing the story of the R season, as it features Crystal Tokyo, Neo-Queen Serenity, King Endymion, Chibi-Usa, Sailor Pluto, and the Black Moon Family,

The subtitled DVD set bears the name "Sailor Moon - Season Two" rather than "Sailor Moon R".

New characters

Sailor Moon villain group

En and Al as seen in the anime.
Makaiju aliens
Story arc:	Sailor Moon R (anime)
Dub name:	Doom Tree aliens
Leader:	The Makaiju
Key figures:	Al, En
MOTD:	Cardians
Tools:	Cards, flute

The Makaiju is a minor group of villains featured in the first episodes of Sailor Moon R. They are unique to the anime. In these episodes, Usagi Tsukino and her friends are reborn on Earth, having defeated the Dark Kingdom, with their memories of the last year erased. Two new transfer students, Seijūrō and Natsumi, join Usagi's class at Jūban Junior high school. Around the same time, two new enemies appear, calling themselves Al and En. They had wandered space alone for many years before reaching Earth, where there finally find energy to collect for the "Makaiju" so that it can continue to thrive and give them regenerative energy. To do this, they drain the life energy of humans by way of creatures known as Cardians. Seeing the danger, Luna reawakens Sailor Moon and the rest of the Sailor Senshi to fight these enemies.

Though the events were never referred to in later episodes, the alien Fiore who appears in the Sailor Moon R movie bears a strong resemblance to Al and En's race.

The two aliens' names, Al and En, combine to sound like the word "alien" (which is more obvious when spoken phonetically in Japanese as "Eiru" and "An"). In the English-subtitled release by ADV Films, this comparison is taken further when their names are respectively rendered as Ali and En. They have an almost Adam and Eve relationship in that they are the only two of their kind, and may in a sense be considered siblings as well as romantic partners.

Al

Al (エイル, Eiru, written Ali in the ADV release) takes on the persona of Seijūrō Ginga (銀河 星十郎, Ginga Seijūrō) and lives with his "sister" in Jūban Odyssey Apartments. While trying to blend in with the humans at Usagi's school, Al develops the role of brother to his girlfriend, Ann. He develops a crush on Usagi, and constantly tries to win her over, much to Ann (and Mamoru's) dislikes. He constantly denies these feeling to his girlfriend Ann due to her being known to have fits of jealous rage. Al uses his flute to summon Cardians, allowing En to select which one he will summon. His name is Alan Granger in the dub version.

In his given name, Seijūrō, the first kanji (sei) means "star", the second (juu) means "ten", and the last (rou) is a counter for sons. Thus, his name means something like "Tenth Son of the Stars." The kanji for his family name, Ginga, means "galaxy."

El is voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa, who also voiced Fiore in the Sailor Moon R: The Movie. In the English dub, he is voiced by Vince Corazza, who also does the third voice for Tuxedo Mask.

En

En (アン, An, written En in the ADV release) takes on the persona of Natsumi Ginga (銀河 夏美, Ginga Natsumi) and lives with her "brother" in Jūban Odyssey Apartments. She develops a crush on Mamoru, and constantly tries to win him over, much to Al's (and Usagi's) dislike. Her name written as Anne Granger in the dub version.

In her given name, Natsumi, the first kanji (natsu) means "summer", and the second (mi) means "beauty." The kanji for her family name, Ginga, means "galaxy."

En is voiced by Yumi Tōma, who also provides the voice of the Xenian Flower for the Sailor Moon R: The Movie. In the English dub, she is voiced by Sabrina Grdevich, who did the first voice of Sailor Pluto.

The Makaiju

The Makaiju (魔界樹, Hell Tree), itself is an alien tree that nourishes Al and En, but has become unhealthy and requires energy to stay alive. For some time they supply it with human energy, but eventually it stops working. In the dubbed version and ADV subtitles, it's referred to as the Doom Tree.

In the final episode of the story arc, the aliens try to give Usagi to it as an offering (as it seems to greatly like her energy). The tree becomes angered and starts to injure those around it, killing En in the process. It did not stop until its alien children realized love. The tree tells its story to Sailor Moon. The tree once lived alone on a faraway planet on an island in a vast ocean for countless years until it began to create life (the English dub embellished the story to suggest it was once called "The Tree of Light" and that it deliberately created life). It gave energy to these children, but eventually they became greedy and began to fight over the power (The English dub, however, changed the tale by claiming that "evil forces" were responsible for corrupting its children). When the fighting destroyed the planet, the tree fled into space with several survivors, but they struggled to survive and in the end, there were only two small children left. It was now weak and needed the energy of love to survive. Sailor Moon uses her power to purify the tree, and it disappears. When Al and En reunite, a small sapling appears to them; the tree has been reborn and they are given a chance to start over, and they leave Earth forever for parts unknown.

The Makaiju was voiced in Japanese by Taeko Nakanishi. In the English dub, it was voiced by Elizabeth Hannah.

Cardians

The Cardians are monsters that are used by Al and En in plots to obtain energy to revive the Makaiju. They are usually kept in cards until they are summoned. To summon them, Al would hold up several cards, and En would pick one. The card would then rise into the air and Al would play a tune on his flute to cause the Cardian to come alive. When a Cardian is destroyed, it changes back into its card form which then turns black.

The following Cardians are listed in order of appearance.

Vampir

• First Appearance: "Moon Revived! The Mysterious Aliens Appear"
• Dub Name: Vampeal
• Seiyu: Megumi Ogata
