- Title: 美少女戦士セーラームーン (Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon)
- Episodes: 49
- Broadcast period: 2003-Oct-4 to 2004-Sep-25
Synopsis:
I think most of you already know what this is by look at the opening picture. In any case, this is the Live Action version of Sailor Moon, and it retells the first season of the original anime by adding more interesting subplots to the already-awesome show. Among the changes are that Luna is a talking stuffed animal, the girls actually have normal Japanese (i.e. black) hair when untransformed, and the series includes the presence of Sailor V. Oh, and Minako is a pop star among other crazy, unexpected things. Queen Beryl is still trying to steal Prince Endymion, the Ginzuishou and all that crazy stuff. It’s sparkly, it’s cheesy, and it’s ridiculously hilarious.
Notable Cast: Most of the cast are new to the drama scene.

- The monsters are so cheesy-looking
- The whole thing is cheesy
- LOL USAGI’S MOTHER. What did they do to her? XD
- The Shitennou have a greater role in this, which I love because I love them to death. Yes, their backstory is included. <3

- So overly ridiculous that it’s really funny.
Negative Points:
- Sailor Luna. KILL IT.
- The acting mostly stinks.
- Minako’s singing. Oh my god my ears.
- Low budget, much? XD You just have to laugh at the monsters of the day. They’re so bad. XD
Opening Song: Sae – Kirari Sailor Dream
By the way, this is one of the few songs on PGSM that isn’t sung terribly. XD It’s a cute bubbly, poppy song 
.
Insert Song: Komatsu Ayaka – C’est la vie
Haha the pun in the title. Yeah, what did I say about her singing? She has something worse than this, but I forget the exact song. I just remember listening to the OST for the series and laughing at the song (not this one. This one’s vaguely cute).
