It’s odd that the Powers That Be at VIZ dragged their feet in giving us a release date, but odder still that they waited so long to provide any casting info on the new additions to the ensemble. It makes sense, being so close to Usagi’s birthday. It was announced last November that Sailor Stars would be getting a spring 2019 release, with no further details until just a few weeks ago when VIZ revealed a release date of June 18 th. It’s been a long road with VIZ’s Sailor Moon dub and its releases, going all the way back to 2014, and release and casting info has typically dropped well in advance, but for this final season and the two home media releases that comprise it, we’ve learned precious little. Precious little information has leaked about the VIZ dub of Sailor Stars. But they can get over it, because the Starlights freakin’ rule.

Pretty much everyone else loves the Sailor Starlights, this season’s rival/pseudo-antagonist faction to the Sailor Guardians, just as Tuxedo Mask and the Outers were in their introductory seasons.Īnd what’s not to love? A boy band that transforms into a trio of young women dressed up like cosmic, superpowered dominatrixes… dominatrices?… okay, maybe if I squint I can kind of see how some people might feel a little weird about their kids watching a team in action whose uniform consists primarily of glossy leather booty shorts and a matching bikini top. The only season of the show never before dubbed into English due to its radical assertion that genderfluid people, you know, exist, it’s long been a subject of controversy amongst pearl-clutching moral guardians. Sailor Stars, the fifth and final season of Sailor Moon, is kind of a big deal.
