Sailor Moon Crystal “Season 4” is a 2-part theatrical release titled “Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal: The Movie.” Part 1 was originally set for September 11th 2020 but due to the global pandemic, it was postponed to January 8th 2021. Part 2 released a month later on February 11th 2021. It’s now available on Netflix worldwide from June 3 2022 for international viewers!
Sailor Moon Eternal is based on the Dream Arc/Dead Moon Arc, known as ‘Sailor Moon SuperS’ in the 90s anime series, though it follows closely to the manga (which has a very different storyline and new characters)!
The story follows on from Sailor Moon Crystal season 3’s cliffhanger ending; with Usagi and Chibiusa hearing the sound of a bell ringing.
Chiaki Kon (director for Sailor Moon Crystal Season 3) directed the two films. Kazuko Tadano (character designer for the original 90s Sailor Moon anime) returned to design characters for the project.
When & where can I watch “Sailor Moon Eternal”?
Sailor Moon Eternal Part 1 & 2 is now available on Netflix Worldwide! Go watch it :D!
Why is Sailor Moon in her Eternal form? Isn’t this Season 4 (SuperS)?
Good question! If you’re familiar with the 90s anime, Usagi does not become Eternal Sailor Moon until the 5th and final arc “Sailor Stars”. This is because “Sailor Moon Crystal” follows the storyline of the manga, and Usagi and the other Sailor Guardians become their “Eternal” forms towards the end of this arc.

I think this might be for the best. I tried to get through Super S several times and couldn’t help but skip through most of it. Consolidating it into a streamlined story might be the best choice for this particular arc, and might even make it better. We shall see.
I Would REALLY prefer it like the other seasons…
Hi I watch sailor moon since I was a little girl I really miss it
I’ll take it any way I can get it.
I hope so.
They make enough money off Sailor Moon merchandise. Do they really need to charge for the animation too?
(The price of the blu ray sets are insane. Personally I feel like half a season shouldn’t be $50 bucks.)
Happy birthday Sailor Moon and Sailor mini moon
The Crystal season were not good,s3 was better but can’t compete with sailormoon S first version so if its a movie i think The animation and The drawing will be better
More budget! Same director!! Movies will be a perfect setting for how epic the entire Dead Moon arc is! Their power ups at the end ALONE will be brilliant!!! One-time transformations that will (hopefully) be works of art instead of wasted stock footage! Seriously, the Bunnies transform multiple times and the other girls transform like once, so they won’t have to bloat episodes with unnecessary plot lines just to reuse their animation so much. Ooh, real-time attacks instead of stock ones?!? Will we get a Pluto SMC proper henshin, and a full Saturn one???
Ps I’m also just stoked we finally have news. Although I’m sad it may mean that we won’t get some Figuarts out of this deal. I love my SMC one!!
Crystal is okaaaay, but nothing like the original, honestly!
I kept asking for movie but this wasn’t exactly what I meant.
Just as long as they do it justice. The Dream Arc is my favorite arc in the manga.
One of my favorites too. I think a movie will be a perfect setting for it. It’s pretty dramatic and epic. I can picture movie 1 ending with Artemis getting crushed trying to save Mina. And the power up of every single character in the final battle just screams movie to me.
Also, they don’t transform a lot so they won’t have to inject unnecessary plot lines into individual episodes just so they can recycle animation.
My favorite too.
I hope they do it justice too and don’t stray from the manga.
The actual footage of each episode in the crystal series is like 20 mins if you cut out the opening and closing credit footage, the teasers for the next episode, the rehash of the last episode.
So I think this can be really doable for a ten chapter manga into two movies.
I hope this does well, because I want to see stars and the short stories make it to animation. :)
