Ray Mona explores the early phenomenon, cultural significance, and influence of the Sailor Moon franchise on western media after its introduction to the west in the 90s.

One attempt, in particular, has famously been dubbed as "Saban Moon". In part 1 of this deep dive, Ray attempts to uncover this media through a series of investigative interviews, and manages to uncover some new finds... Did any of these new leads bring her any closer to unearthing this illustrious lost pilot known as "Saban Moon"? Watch to find out!
