Exhibit enters its second phase, which will still be open when Japan reopens to international tourism.
Sailor Moon is taking two steps into the future, but it’s bringing an important part of its past along for the ride.
What campaign promises might Sailor Moon creator Naoko Takeuchi make, if she throws her hat into the political ring?
Not only were these heroines and villains granted super powers — they were also given a haute wardrobe!
There’s a whole slew of new merch to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Naoko Takeuchi’s seminal Sailor Moon. With all these new goodies going on sale it can be pretty overwhelming, but RocketNews24 is on the case to introduce the very best, and today is no exception. In the name of the moon, she will make you part with your cash! And that’s not all – there’s also a fantastic chance to win some super-extra-special Sailor Moon-related prizes.
