It played multiple times a day on Canadian channels YTV and Global. It wasn’t just a hit amongst anime fans but something every kid knew about. While the show was of course popular in the United States and throughout the world in the 90s the show really was a mainstream staple which everyone knew about in Canada in the 1990s. It’s hard to explain what a cultural phenomenon Sailor Moon was here in Canada. What’s the best way to show appreciation for the kind gesture while politely telling someone you knew about a thing months ago? Sailor Moon was trending on Twitter in Canada on Friday and, something which is always a sign that news about the show has gone mainstream, I had two non Moonie friends text me to tell me that they saw that the show was on Crave. Though I didn’t see the show in many categories when I checked the service slightly after midnight on September 18th by mid day Friday it was in many categories on the site including Just Added TV Shows, Buzzworthy and Kid Stuff. The impact of Sailor Moon being added to the service was immediately apparent. I haven’t been able to do specific comparisons but some fans are suggesting that these are the same versions used for the Japanese Blu-Rays. It seems that Viz has used some better masters for this than were used for their original Blu-Ray releases. It’s worth noting that the video quality of the series on Crave looks quite good. This seems like a very odd choice but luckily Canadian Sailor Moon fans can still watch the Japanese version of the original anime for free on Tubi. When we originally posted this news in August it wasn’t clear whether or not the series would be streamed in English but now we know that it is but also that the original Japanese version is not available on the service. The streaming service added all five seasons of Sailor Moon to it’s catalogue on Friday September 18th. Canadian Sailor Moon fans can now watch the original Sailor Moon anime on Crave.
