Make Up! Sailor Senshi

Aired: 1993

A short anime double-billed with the first Sailor Moon R theatrical feature. Designed as much as a vibrant primer for newcomers as a fan-service piece for veterans, it strings together highlight transformations, signature attacks and quick character beats for each Sailor Senshi. Anchored on Usagi Tsukino's Sailor Moon, it moves briskly through Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus, showcasing their personalities and trademark moves with theatrical-grade animation. The result is a celebratory, almost-jukebox introduction to Naoko Takeuchi's heroines that doubles as a giddy reward for longtime viewers.
