# What is it?
Come on. You've heard of it. The manga started in 1991, written and illustrated by [[Naoko Takeuchi]] (who's apparently married to the [[Yoshihiro Togashi |author]] of [[Hunter x Hunter]], but that's a rabbit hole for another time).

The first anime adaptation started in 1992, directed by several people through its long run:
- Satou Junichi ([[Junkers Come Here]], [[Princess Tutu]], [[Aria the Animation]])
- Staring in 1994, [[Kunihiko Ikuhara]]
- From 1996 til the end in 1997, Takuya Igarashi ([[Ojamajo Doremi]], [[Ashita no Nadja]], [[Ouran High School Host Club]])

Furthermore, there's been a host of [stage musicals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailor_Moon_musicals), live action dramas, and a [second](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailor_Moon_musicals) anime adaptation in 2014. Also a buttload of video games. (I play Jupiter and Merc in Jougai Rantou, btw.)
# How's it connect to other stuff?
## Via staff
Via its three directors,
[[Princess Tutu]]
[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]
[[Ouran High School Host Club]]
## Via influence
It's hard for a magical girl story, especially an action focused one like this, to *not* trace its roots back to [[Princess Knight]] in some way or another.
