Sailor Moon Cosmos Brings Back Sailor Stars Theme for New Opening: Watch
Sailor Moon made a massive comeback with two new movies bringing the finale to life once more overseas this Summer, and Sailor Moon Cosmos is tapping into the past by showing off one of its opening theme sequences bringing back the classic opening theme from Sailor Moon Sailor Stars! Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Cosmos the Movie is a two feature film event taking on the Shadow Galactica arc from Naoko Takeuchi's original Sailor Moon manga series, and serves as a grand finale for the story overall. Following the release of the first Sailor Moon Cosmos film in early June, the second and final film has hit theaters in Japan.
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Cosmos the Movie Part 2 is now making its way through theaters across Japan at the time of this writing, and to celebrate has revealed its opening theme sequence. It's quite nostalgic for fans because it brings back the opening theme from the fifth and final season of the original Sailor Moon TV anime, "Makenai," which served as the opening song for the Sailor Stars era of the TV anime.
