Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal is now fully available to stream on Crunchyroll and Hulu, complete with English dub and subtitle options. The 26-episode series adapts Naoko Takeuchi's original manga, offering a more faithful retelling of Usagi Tsukino's journey as Sailor Moon.
Produced by Toei Animation, the studio behind the original 90s anime, Crystal focuses on the core romantic and dramatic elements of the Sailor Soldiers' fight against the forces of darkness. While the original series was known for its filler and comedic detours, Crystal adheres closely to the manga's plot, covering the Dark Kingdom and Black Moon arcs.
With a MAL score of 7.15, Crystal offers a streamlined magical girl experience for fans who prefer a direct adaptation of the source material. Season III, which adapted the Death Busters arc, is available separately and was animated by Studio Deen.
