‘Sailor Moon R THE MOVIE’ Comes To Theaters This January!

If you were a fan of Sailor Moon in the 90’s, you might remember Sailor Moon R: The Promise of the Rose, which was released on VHS back in the day. The Promise of the Rose is actually Sailor Moon R THE MOVIE and this January, select North American theaters will feature an HD remaster of the uncut version. I suspect it will be dubbed but am not positive. Adding to the excitement is the North American debut of the theatrical short, “Make Up! Sailor Guardians.”

Here is Viz Media’s teaser for the film:

Long before Mamoru found his destiny with Usagi, he gave a single rose in thanks to a lonely boy who helped him recover from the crash that claimed his parents. This long-forgotten friend, Fiore, has been searching the galaxy for a flower worthy of that sweet gesture long ago. The mysterious flower he finds is beautiful, but has a dark side- it has the power to take over planets. To make matters worse, the strange plant is tied to an ominous new asteroid near Earth! Faced with an enemy blooming out of control, It’s up to Sailor Moon and the Sailor Guardians to band together, stop the impending destruction and save Mamoru!

Information as to which theaters will be showing Sailor Moon R THE MOVIE have yet to be posted but it was noted that tickets go on sale soon. A special surprise gift will be given to ticket holders at the screenings (while supplies last, of course).
