This article is about the episodes of the anime series. For the live-action series, see Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
Sailor Moon (美少女戦士セーラームーン, Bishōjo Senshi Sērā Mūn, Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon) is an anime series based on a manga by Naoko Takeuchi. There are 200 episodes in the five series, which originally aired on TV Asahi between 7 March1992 and 8 February1997. An English-language adaptation was produced following the popularity of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in North America. Dubbed by DiC, most of the first two series aired in 1995-1996 on YTV, with the remaining few episodes released in 1997-1998. Later, the third and fourth series were dubbed by Cloverway, airing in 2000, also on the YTV network. The fifth series has not been dubbed into English, although it has been dubbed into other languages.
In addition to the episodes, three feature-length films were produced; as well as five shorts.
What follows is a list of anime episode titles for both the original Japanese series and the English-language dub. Please note that the air dates listed are the Japanese first-run air dates.
