'''''Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon''''', commonly referred to as '''PGSM''' by [[Sailor Moon Fandom|fans]], is a live-action version of the [[Sailor Moon (series)|''Sailor Moon'' series]] produced by [[Toei]]. The series includes a [[#TV/DVD/VHS|49-part television series]], which aired every weekend morning on the Japanese [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chubu-Nippon_Broadcasting CBC]/[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Broadcasting_System TBS] network, in collaboration with local stations throughout [[Japan|the country]], from October 2003 to September 2004, as well as two [[#DVD/VHS|extra parts]] first released only on DVD/VHS after the series ended. It also has two [[#Related Shows/Radio Program/Mascot Show|related shows]] released on different media, [[Super Dance Lesson|a dance instruction VHS]], a [[DJ Moon (series)|radio program series]], a number of [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Show|children's mascot stage shows]], numerous [[Sailor Moon Music#Live Action CDs|albums]], [[#DVD/VHS Releases|TV series DVDs]], printed publications, [[Sailor Moon Toys|toys]], licensed household products and stationery, and even some public service banners. This [[sentai]]-flavored [[tokusatsu]] drama series was based upon the [[Sailor Moon (manga)#Sailor Moon|first manga story arc]], and notably featured [[Keiko Han]] as [[Luna]], revisiting her role from the [[Sailor Moon (anime)|anime series]]. 

[[Naoko Takeuchi]], the creator of [[Sailor Moon (series)|''Sailor Moon'']], was involved in the production throughout the series, including the casting of [[#Main|main roles]], the design of new characters, and the present of jackets for the starring actresses during winter shooting. Some of the actresses starring (and, for some, debuting) in the series, most notably [[Keiko Kitagawa]], have become well known since the series ended with film roles, TV appearances, [[idol]] products, etc.

The series has never been aired outside Japan, although [[fansub]]s of it (as well as its non-TV/related shows) on the internet are commonplace, and audio-visual products (and other merchandise) of the work are also readily available for sale on the internet. Information is also available at the [[#Official Websites|official websites]], complemented by numerous [[fansite]]s all over the world.

On December 8, 2023, it was announced that a special called "[[Sailor Senshi Dousoukai]]" featuring the cast of the [[Inner Senshi]] will be released on December 25 of the same year on CBC to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the series.

==Summary==
[[Usagi Tsukino]] was an ordinary teenage girl until she encountered a talking plush cat named [[Luna]] and discovered that she was a [[Sailor Senshi]], destined to protect the [[Princess Serenity|Princess]] and the world from the [[evil]] forces of the [[Dark Kingdom]]. As [[Sailor Moon]] she fights, later joined by [[Sailor Mercury]], [[Sailor Mars]], [[Sailor Jupiter]], [[Sailor Venus]], and [[Sailor Luna]], and occasionally helped by the mysterious [[Tuxedo Mask]]. Eventually Usagi discovers that she is the Princess they were all searching for, the reborn heir to the ancient [[Silver Millennium|Moon Kingdom]] and wielder of the [[Silver Crystal]].

The [[Senshi]] must deal with their civilian lives and relationships, fight the minions of [[Queen Beryl]], and come to terms with their past lives and how they impact the present day. Their experiences will leave them forever changed, and alter the destiny of the [[Earth]] forever.

==Trivia==
* Around the time of the series' airing, [[Naoko Takeuchi]] published a re-edited and partially rewritten new edition of the [[Sailor Moon (manga)|manga]] series (including ''[[Codename: Sailor V]]''), complete with brand new covers.

* The series adopts a newly designed title logo, which does not use the long-established typeface of the old ones used in the [[Sailor Moon (anime)|anime]] and the original edition of the manga. The new edition of the manga adopts the new logo (and ''Codename: Sailor V'' uses a modified version of the new logo), so does the current [http://sailormoon.channel.or.jp official ''Sailor Moon'' website] (the front page uses a heavily modified version of the new logo, and the inside pages use the exact new logo).

* The official English title of the series ("Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon") is different from that of the anime and the original edition of the manga (which was "Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon"). The new edition of the manga and the current official ''Sailor Moon'' website adopt the new English title.

* The episode titles were listed in the ''[[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Memorial Book]]'', though they were never shown in the episodes themselves.

* The series timeline matched that of the real-life timeline in which it aired, between October 2003 and September 2004.
