Netflix is listing the Pretty Guardians Sailor Moon Eternal The Movie (Bishōjo Senshi Sailor Moon Eternal) anime film project for release in India alongside its worldwide streaming premiere on June 3. The company also streamed an English-dubbed trailer for the film project on Friday.
Netflix describes the film:
When a dark power enshrouds the Earth after a total solar eclipse, the scattered Sailor Guardians must reunite to bring light back into the world.
The English dub cast returns from the previous dubs of the Sailor Moon Crystal anime, and includes:
- Stephanie Sheh as Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon

- Amanda C. Miller as Makoto Kino/Sailor Jupiter

- Christine Marie Cabanos as Hotaru Tomoe/Sailor Saturn
- Robbie Daymond as Mamoru Chiba/Tuxedo Mask
- Michelle Ruff as Luna
- Johnny Yong Bosch as Artemis
- Debi Derryberry as Diana
The first film was originally scheduled to open in Japan on September 11, 2020, but was delayed to January 8 due to the spread of the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Japan. The second film opened in Japan on February 11.
The films mark 25 years since the franchise last had a work that screened in theaters in Japan.
Original manga creator Naoko Takeuchi was credited with the original work and with supervision. Chiaki Kon returned from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal: Season III to direct the two films. Kazuko Tadano, the character designer for the original Sailor Moon anime, designed the characters. Kazuyuki Fudeyasu (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure TV anime all five parts, Land of the Lustrous, PriPara) penned the scripts. Toei distributed the film. Studio DEEN co-produced the film alongside Toei Animation.
Momoiro Clover Z and the main cast performed the theme song "Tsukiiro Chainon" ("Moon Color Chainon").
The two-part film project takes the place of a fourth season for Sailor Moon Crystal. The films cover the "Dead Moon" arc of Takeuchi's original manga.
