description: It's one of the most well-loved anime of all time.
encoded: There are some anime that are so globally popular that even if you've never seen a single frame of anime in your life, you know it. There's Naruto, Pokémon, Digimon, Attack on Titan and, of course, Sailor Moon. Titular character Usagi Tsukino, her magical cat Luna and her fellow Sailor Guardians — Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus — became the heroes of a generation when they first transformed into their iconic sailor uniforms on-screen to fight menacing villains. Created by Naoko Takeuchi in the early '90s as a manga series, the franchise has since gone on to spawn anime, movies, spin-offs, video games, clothing lines - if you can think of it, Sailor Moon likely has it. It's so popular that the franchise has made over $2.5 billion in merch sales since its inception. However, because Sailor Moon has been brought back and updated time and time again, it can be difficult to decide where's the best place to start. Even legacy fans can find themselves confused as to whether Sailor Moon (1992) is the best place to begin, or if Codename: Sailor V (1991) is technically the right introduction to the series. Read more to find out everything you need to know about the Sailor Moon franchise, and how to watch it in the correct order. How to watch Sailor Moon in release order How to watch the Sailor Moon franchise in chronological order, according to its original release: Sailor Moon (Season 1) Sailor Moon R (Season 2) Sailor Moon R: The Movie – Promise of the Rose Sailor Moon S (Season 3) Sailor Moon S: The Movie Sailor Moon Super S (Season 4) Sailor Moon Super S: The Movie Sailor Moon Sailor Stars (Season 5) Sailor Moon Crystal (Reboot) Sailor Moon Eternal Part 1 Sailor Moon Eternal Part 2 Sailor Moon Cosmos Part 1 Sailor Moon Cosmos Part 2 Should I start watching Sailor Moon or Sailor Moon Crystal?

encoded: Asta and Yuno’s individual quests to become the Wizard King continues in a new anime film, titled Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King. The orphans have had quite the rivalry over the course of the Black Clover anime, which is based on Yuki Tabata’s manga of the same name, but it goes to new heights in the forthcoming feature. Fans of the anime have been enjoying the series since 2017, but it went on hiatus after the end of season 4 in 2021, which seemingly spelled the end of the franchise.

So, it will be up to Asata and Yuno to stop him before it is too late. Original manga creator Tabata was involved in the film as chief supervisor, but the narrative is entirely new to its source material.

encoded: These days, there are so many new shows coming to streaming and TV that it’s hard to know what to dedicate your time and attention to. Arguably, there is too much choice, and this means that it might seem like a daunting task to decide what to watch, or even what medium to go with. Well, if anime is more your thing and you don’t know where to start, look no further than our guide to some of the best and most talked about shows in the spring 2023 season. From Crunchyroll to Netflix, and HIDIVE to Disney Plus, there is something for everyone this season. Here is everything you need to know about some of the top releases. Oshi no Ko Where to watch: HIDIVE The most talked about anime of the moment is certainly Oshi no Ko, which has proven to be a surprise hit in a season that is already full of big hitters. Based on the work of Aka Akasaka, of Kaguya-sama: Love is War fame, the idol anime has set the anime community alight with its dramatic story centred around idol Ai Hoshino and her children’s determination to see her career reach new heights. The catch? Her former gynaecologist was murdered and reincarnated as one of her sons, while his fraternal twin sister is also a reincarnation. Talk about complicated!

Demon Slayer season 3 Where to watch: Crunchyroll The most hotly-anticipated anime of the spring 2023 season was certainly Demon Slayer, which returned for its third season that adapts the Swordsmith Village arc. Adapting Koyoharu Gotouge’s hit manga series, the new season sees demon slayer Tanjiro travel to the titular village in order to get a new sword made by Hotaru Haganezuke. If you’re into anime then you’ve probably heard of Demon Slayer in some way, and so there is little need to convince viewers to watch it. Given the franchise’s huge fanbase and its end…

description: It's been billed as one of the best anime of all time - is it worth the hype?
encoded: Arguably the most talked about anime of the spring 2023 line-up, Oshi no Ko is a show that has unexpectedly taken the world by storm and even ranked higher than beloved series returning for new seasons like Demon Slayer. The idol anime, which is helmed by Doga Kobo, received a hugely positive reception when it was first released this month. The music video for its opening song garnered over 22 million views in six days, and it has even toppled Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood from first place of MyAnimeList’s top anime of all time listings – with just one episode to its name The question is, then, is all the buzz around the show valid? Oshi no Ko centres on gynaecologist Goro Amemiya who is obsessed with idol Ai Hoshino, a singer in the group B Komachi who he was first introduced to by a late cancer patient he was fond of. Ai is the starry-eyed idol of his dreams, so it comes as a big surprise to him when she suddenly appears at his countryside hospital and is 20 weeks pregnant. The 16-year-old is expecting twins, and she wants to give birth to the children in secret so that she can continue her idol career afterwards. View oEmbed on the source website Goro chooses to set aside his adoration for the idol to help her during the pregnancy, and everything is going well until he is murdered by one of the singer’s stalkers on the day she is due to give birth. Fortunately for him, he is reborn as Ai’s son Aquamarine, aka Aqua, and his memories of his previous life are still intact. So too has his fraternal twin sister, Ruby, who was also reincarnated, though she’d rather keep coy on her past life. What follows in the 90-minute opening episode is certainly a shock. Idol anime tend to rely on tried and tested formulas, which is no bad thing but does mean that they can seem quite predictable. There are certain expectations with an idol anime, and they often feature light-hearted stories and a catchy soundtrack. This is not the case with Oshi no Ko (the soundtrack is fantasti…
