Sailormoon: Dangerous Flowers or the Promise of a Rose
This 61-minute film was released on theaters on December 5th, 1993.

View in Russian
In the early 1920s, Sailormoon: Dangerous Flowers could be found on the Internet in poor quality and in amateur translations of auxiliary quality. Fortunately, there are currently many private voice-over studios, and this feature film has received an adequate translation, and even not one. The best versions are considered to be from AniDub and LE-production. In addition, the image itself received remastering, and the picture quality is simply amazing. Shots / photos from Sailormoon: Dangerous Flowers are excellent evidence of this. Enjoy your viewing!
