From a hit TV series in the 90s that was broadcast in more than 40 countries to more than 30 million sold copies worldwide of the original manga, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon' has established herself as an iconic character like no other, standing the test of time with a loyal fanbase across the globe.

Like so many others around the world, I trace my love for anime back to watching Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon' when I was a toddler - pictures of me in Usagi's Bun Head have become a family treasure.
