The North American version of Sailor Moon was produced in Canada, and hit the airwaves on August 28, 1995 on YTV. The program entered syndication in the United States two weeks later.

The story centers around an air-headed crybaby, named Serena, and her friends Amy, Rei, Lita, and Mina. Using special powers, they can transform into Sailor Scouts. They become Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus respectfully. They fight for love and justice against the evil minions of the Negaverse. To help them in their quest, they heed the advice of two talking cats, Luna and Artemis, and also the mysterious Tuxedo Mask.
