Sailor Senshi around the world gather to celebrate International Sailor Moon Day 2021 in this iconic anime anniversary.

Anybody can celebrate a birthday, but only the TRUE fans of Sailor Moon celebrate Mamoru (Tuxedo Mask)’s birthday this year- it’s International Sailor Moon Day! This yearly celebration of the classic manga-turned-anime franchise is a milestone in the international community, with pop-up events and conventions sporting some epic Sailor Moon cosplays.

 

This year celebrates the Netflix release of ‘Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal The Movie’, and the Sailor Moon fandom is thriving more than ever.  Japan hosted the legendary Sailor Moon Restaurant and show, ‘Shining Moon Tokyo’ which was the first ever standing Sailor Moon themed restaurant.

Armored Sailor Scouts

Cosplayers: Gladzy Kei Art & Cosplay  Andy Rae Cosplay Jessica Nigri Vivid Vision @oopompayoo

Epically talented graphic artist and prolific cosplayer Gladzy Kei Art & Cosplay is a force to be reckoned with. Her cheery optimism and absolutely stunning artwork are equally powerful. She often creates armored warrior versions of classic animated characters, then creates real life cosplays of them. This partnership with Jessica Ngri is stunning, and make me want those Mars boots!!!
