Save Our Scouts!
Sailor Moon is back in the U.S. on the USA network. However, in Canada, YTV has shown the last 17 episodes of the series, episodes we never saw! Still no word yet if and or when those "lost" episodes will be shown in the States but the Save Our Scouts site is working to make it happen but it needs your help! Check out S.O.S. and see what you can do! Dov and Giniko-Chan love Sailor Moon, shouldn't you?
Otaku: And proud of it!
