About this Item

Paperback. To many people, especially those who joined the fandom in the late '90s, Sailor Moon is synonymous with anime. The show burst onto North American televisions like a supernova of color and character, bringing all things Japanese front and center in Western consciousness - and creating a devoted fandom that persists to this day, changing the lives of young girls and women. But just why did this magical girl phenomena have such deep, abiding impact on so many female fans in North America? Why did it succeed when the odds seemed stacked against it, and why does this love persist? Join authors Steve Savage and Bonnie Walling as they take you on a tour of just how powerfully Sailor Moon affected the girls and women who discovered it. Taken from interviews with more than thirty fans of the series, you'll get a personal view into how the media phenomena changed lives and influences its female fans to this day. Discover a show that was surprisingly different to its audience when it came to North America, with stories and characters that amazed and inspired its female audience. Dive into the early days of internet fandom, where Sailor Moon inspired a new kingdom of websites and fanfic. Explore how a single show led women and girls on a journey of friendship and discovery. If you're a loyal fan or have one in your life, if you want to understand how pop culture affects and inspires women, this is your chance to find out what happened when the Moon Princess met her new female followers in North America and changed lives.
