After the publication of the second collected manga volume, Toei Animation asked Takeuchi to expand the world of Sailor V, thus Sailor V evolved into Sailor Moon in February 1992. Only a month later, Toei premiered the first episode of the Sailormoon TV series. The Sailor Moon manga ran for a total of 18 volumes, finally capped off by a third an concluding manga volume of Codename Sailor V to wrap up the original story.<\/p>\n<p>The Sailormoon TV series broadcast 200 episodes and one TV special, through 5 TV seasons before finally being concluded mainly due to steadily declining ratings. Along the way, the Sailormoon phenomenon had a multitude of live-action stage musicals, three theatrical films and two short &#8220;mini-films&#8221; (&#8220;Ami&#8217;s First Love&#8221; and &#8220;Make Up! Sailor Soldiers&#8221;), video games incarnations on virtually every system from the Super Famicom to the Playdia, and enough other merchandise to virtually start its own genre.<\/p>\n<p>Article updated on October 30, 2002 with assistance from &#8220;Cat Clan.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: When did Naoko Takeuchi bring out her first manga of Sailor Moon to Japan?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ask-john"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.animenation.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.animenation.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.animenation.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.animenation.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.animenation.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.animenation.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.animenation.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.animenation.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.animenation.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
