Adult Swim has announced that Sailor Moon will return to the programming block later today, March 9, at 5 AM EDT. Later episodes will air at the same time on weekdays.
While episodes of Sailor Moon will still air on the Toonami block on Saturdays, alongside Dragon Ball Z Kai and Naruto, the latest announcement means that you’ll still be able to watch the series even on weekdays. Sailor Moon initially aired on Adult Swim in May 2024. The series itself first premiered in the United States in 1995. Check out the video showcasing the series and announcing the return of Sailor Moon to the programming block below:
MyAnimeList describes the original Sailor Moon anime as follows:
Usagi Tsukino is an average student and crybaby klutz who constantly scores low on her tests. Unexpectedly, her humdrum life is turned upside down when she saves a cat with a crescent moon on its head from danger. The cat, named Luna, later reveals that their meeting was not an accident: Usagi is destined to become Sailor Moon, a planetary guardian with the power to protect the Earth. Given a special brooch that allows her to transform, she must use her new powers to save the city from evil energy-stealing monsters sent by the malevolent Queen Beryl of the Dark Kingdom.
But getting accustomed to her powers and fighting villains are not the only things she has to worry about. She must find the lost princess of the Moon Kingdom, the other Sailor Guardians, and the Legendary Silver Crystal in order to save the planet from destruction.
