The new voices joining up for the fifth and final season of Sailor Moon have finally been revealed.
Sailor Stars, the fifth and final season of Sailor Moon, is kind of a big deal. The only season of the show never before dubbed into English due to its radical assertion that genderfluid people, you know, exist, it’s long been a subject of controversy amongst pearl-clutching moral guardians. Literally no one else cared. Pretty much everyone else loves the Sailor Starlights, this season’s rival/pseudo-antagonist faction to the Sailor Guardians, just as Tuxedo Mask and the Outers were in their introductory seasons.
And what’s not to love? A boy band that transforms into a trio of young women dressed up like cosmic, superpowered dominatrixes… dominatrices?... okay, maybe if I squint I can kind of see how some people might feel a little weird about...

The father of Elizabeth Smart sees similarities between the 2002 abduction of his daughter and the Amber Alert for missing Tennessee teen Elizabeth Thomas. And like his daughter, he believes Thomas will be found.
“It’s just horrendous,” Edward Smart tells People of Thomas’ disappearance — describing it as “a living nightmare for her parents, wondering what they can do to find her.”
