Moon Star is celebrating our first year of the show! On April 25th, 2022 Alex launched the little moon-cast that could solo. Today, it has grown into the show we are so proud to present to you each week. We can't wait to see what the next year of Moon Star: A Sailor Moon Podcast will bring.

The Production & History of Sailor Moon Special

Join hosts Chris & Alex as they go over the process of creating Anime by hand - a technique that is rarely used today - and a brief historical overview of the release and reception of Sailor Moon. We cover the original Japanese release, and the North American release up until recent events.
