Navegante da Lua (Japanese: 美少女戦士セーラームーン, Hepburn: Bishōjo Senshi Sērā Mūn lit. "Pretty Warrior Sailor Moon") is the 2nd European Portuguese dub of Sailor Moon.

Plot

Broadcast
RTP1 buys the rights of the anime, in 1999, and premieres it in 2001, with a new dubbing made by Nacional Filmes studios, which covered all the 200 episodes of the anime. However, the old dubbing was shown again on TVI and Canal Panda channels (on Canal Panda only the S, SuperS and Stars seasons). Despite starting to broadcast the 1st dubbing in 2002, Canal Panda decided to broadcast the 2nd dubbing from 2003 to 2004, when lost the exhibition rights.

From 2005 to 2006, RTP1 returns to broadcast the first 2 seasons at midnight.

Between 2007 and 2008, Prisvideo (nowadays PRIS Audiovisuais) launched DVDs of the anime, with Japanese and Portuguese audios and Portuguese and English subtitles. Only 10 volumes with 3 episodes each were launched (with a total of 30 episodes released).

Between March 2011 and 2015, thanks to Toei's efforts to re-promote the brand internationally, Canal Panda broadcast all seasons with the 2nd dubbing, completely remastered.

At the end of 2015, NOS Audiovisuais started publishing anime box sets in DVD and Blu-ray formats (Despite being very similar, NOS edition is not based on the VIZ edition). The movies and specials were also released and dubbed by a new cast.

On March 1, 2020, the 1st season premieres, without any notice, on RTP Play (RTP streamimg platform). On June 7, in addition to debuting the R season and the 1st movie, it also adds the option of subtitles in Portuguese (although Japanese audio is not available). On September 6, S season and th 2nd movie were added. On December 5, SuperS, Stars and the 3rd movie were added.

Since January 2, 2021, RTP2 has been broadcasting the anime every weekend at 10:00 pm.
