# Where to Watch Sailor Moon

**Sailor Moon begins with Usagi learning how to be a guardian instead of presenting her as a polished hero from the outset. Hulu carries the 1992 TV series in subtitled and dubbed versions, making it the legal viewing option named on this page. This original run is finished, with 46 episodes that last 24 minutes each. The appeal comes from watching a reluctant, emotional schoolgirl grow into her responsibilities while friendship, romance, action and fantasy steadily become part of her everyday life. It is a strong starting point for viewers curious about magical girl anime and for fans who prefer character growth with plenty of humor between confrontations.**

## Synopsis

Usagi would rather nap or find something to eat than deal with homework. Her routine changes when a talking cat called Luna tells her she can transform into Sailor Moon, a guardian charged with protecting Earth. Usagi starts out frightened and unsure, then meets other guardians and learns to rely on them as the danger grows. Their enemies are searching for a legendary source of power, while clues about an earlier life draw Usagi toward a mysterious protector. The premise balances awkward first steps with romance and increasingly serious battles, without losing sight of how much courage Usagi has to build for herself.
