The DiC/Cloverway versions are now extinct. Viz company later regained distribution rights to the series, releasing the episodes uncut on DVD. This was due to the fact the DiC/Cloverway failed to renew the license for the anime and because of the disputes between Toei Animation and Naoko Takeuchi over the meddling of her anime series. In 2002, Cartoon Network dropped the series and the rights expired despite the fact that the series was still very popular. In 2000, the series was removed from Toonami to make room for new series but still reran on Cartoon Network. The fifth season however was never licensed or dubbed likely due to its content.

Cloverway Inc, later licensed the 3rd and 4th seasons and they premiered on Toonami throughout 2000. The series became a ratings success and the the final 17 episodes were exclusively hosted on Toonami as 'The Lost Episodes'. Sailor Moon ended up airing on USA Network in 1997 and later was purchased by Turner Entertainment in 1998 and began airing on the action-themed Cartoon Network block Toonami daily. The campaign caught the attention of General Mills, who ultimately agreed to sponsor the dub and air the remaining 17 episodes (along with the first 65 episodes) through its subsidiary The Program Exchange.

However in Canada the series was so popular that the final 17 episodes of the second season Sailor Moon R were dubbed and aired to much success.Ī campaign called Save our Sailors was launched to convince DiC to bring Sailor Moon back to the North American airwaves by buying Pop Tarts in bulk and other products from sponsors past.

However the series was a failure and was cancelled after 65 episodes. Sailor Moon was adapted into English by DiC Entertainment and premiered in North America in 1995 on FOX, WB, and UPN. Status Ended Sailor Moon is a long-running anime series based on the popular manga series Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon that ran in Japan from 1992 to 1997.
