"There was an audience here waiting, girls that watched 'Sailor Moon' and loved it," said Svetlana Chmakova, an artist who draws Japanese-style manga comics, for Cosmo Girl Magazine and publisher TokyoPop.
"Sailor Moon" is one of the most famous Japanese television cartoons in the world.
It began running on American television in the mid-1990s, and a film version was released by Disney, the parent company of ABC, in 2000.
