Even when I was presenting my Moon Prism Poptarts panel, this is one of the storylines from the manga I would have loved to have seen animated. With 10 chapters of manga story, we were given the Dream Arc in two 80 minute movies &#8211; &#8220;Sailor Moon Eternal Part 1&#8221; and &#8220;Sailor Moon Eternal Part 2.&#8221; Both movies were screened in Japan earlier this year. The films eventually released on Netflix on June 3.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/scarlet-rhapsody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2644.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18324\" src=\"http:\/\/scarlet-rhapsody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2644-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scarlet-rhapsody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2644-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/scarlet-rhapsody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2644-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/scarlet-rhapsody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2644-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/scarlet-rhapsody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2644-956x717.jpeg 956w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Sailor Moon LA group held a small, but festive gathering of Moonies at the Dave and Busters in the Bloc of Orange.

Moonies were very hyped to see their favorites on screen. A few of us wondered if certain themes and concepts had aged well. However, the art was very pretty to look at. It was nice to see the manga&#8217;s strongest and prettiest artwork translate to the celluloid screen. While Moonies may know what I am referencing, I don&#8217;t want to give too much away. Both Sailor Moon Eternal movies are amazing if you are a longtime fan of the series. Enjoy it for the ride. If you do have some curiosity and have a good idea of what Sailor Moon is all about, the Sailor Moon Eternal movies are worth checking out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/scarlet-rhapsody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2620.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18308\" src=\"http:\/\/scarlet-rhapsody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2620-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scarlet-rhapsody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2620-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/scarlet-rhapsody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2620-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/scarlet-rhapsody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2620-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/scarlet-rhapsody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2620-956x717.jpeg 956w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of course, there was debate if we preferred either the Eternal adaptation of the SuperS adaptation.
