In the [[Sailor Moon in North America#English Dub|first English dub]], [[Jill Frappier]]'s take on Luna was a focal point of some of the dub's controversy due to the fact that the voice made her out to be an "English nanny"-type character as opposed to her original implied age (in the ''[[Materials Collection]]'', Luna's human form is said to appear a year younger than Usagi<ref>[http://www.kurozuki.com/takeuchi/sailormoon/settei.html Alex Glover's ''Materials Collection'' translation]</ref>). She came across as an aloof mentor/guardian old enough to be Serena's mother, rather than an older-sister character like her Japanese counterpart. Her choice of voice in turn caused a fair bit of problems in the dubbing of the Sailor Moon S movie (which corresponds to the [[Sailor Moon (manga)|manga]] storyline "[[Kaguya-hime no Koibito]]"), in which her human form was revealed.

Luna's human form appeared in [[Act.14 Shuuketsu Soshite Hajimari - PETITE ÉTRANGÉRE -|Act 14]], ''[[Sailor Moon Eternal]]'', and ''[[Sailor Moon Cosmos]]''. The character design used in Act 14 seemed to match the more elaborate one seen in the "Kaguya-hime no Koibito" side story, as she wore a long black skirt underneath her yellow dress. In the two movies, however, the rather simple one from the [[Sailor Moon (manga)#Yume (Dream)|Dream]] and [[Sailor Moon (manga)#Stars|Stars]] arcs of the manga's main storyline was used instead, which had a much shorter black skirt.

In the first three seasons of [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal|Crystal]], Luna's eyes were also red like in the anime, but from ''Sailor Moon Eternal'' on, they were blue like in the manga.

==In the dub==

Luna's dub voice, whilst highly reconised due to Jill Frappier's take on her, is a focus point of some of the dub's controversy due to the fact that the voice makes her out of be an "Old maid" type character as opposed to her original implied age (in the [[Materials Collection]] Luna's human form is said to appear a year younger than Usagi<ref>http://www.kurozuki.com/takeuchi/sailormoon/settei.html - Alex Glover's Materials Collection translation</ref>). Her choice of voice in turn caused a fair bit of problems in the dubbing of the [[Sailor Moon S Movie]] (Which corresponds to the Manga stroyline "[[Princess Kaguya's Lover]]") in which her human form is revealed.

In ''Sailor Moon Cosmos'', it was revealed that Luna and Artemis were from Mau.

In the [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon|live-action series]], Luna was a talking and moving plush cat (not a real one). As a side effect of being bathed in the light of the Silver Crystal, she could become [[Luna Tsukino|a human girl]] and transform into [[Sailor Luna]] to train and help the Senshi, but she turned back if she sneezed or was shocked. Her powers employed the use of candy, and she wielded a large folding fan at times. Fans viewed her as the replacement of Chibiusa for the sake of keeping Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon a largely one-series story. As a plush cat, Luna was dark blue instead of black, and her eyes were blue.
