Sailor Moon: Sailor Mars Joins The Battle VHS Tape

This item is a vintage VHS videocassette of 'Sailor Moon: Sailor Mars Joins The Battle.' The protective sleeve features vibrant, colorful artwork depicting two main characters from the 'Sailor Moon' anime series; Sailor Moon (blonde hair, winking, light blue and white sailor uniform with a red bow) and Sailor Mars (dark hair, arms crossed, red and purple uniform). The title 'SAILOR MOON' is prominently displayed in large, yellow, stylized lettering with a crescent moon detail. Above the main title, 'Sailor Mars Joins The Battle' is written in smaller, white text. A notable feature is a yellow triangular banner at the bottom right corner of the cover that reads, '*Contains Previously UNRELEASED Episodes!' in red and black text, highlighting a potential selling point at the time of its release. The VHS tape case appears to be a standard plastic clamshell design, protected by a cardboard sleeve or outer box. The visible condition suggests some minor wear typical of a vintage item, such as slight edge wear on the cardboard sleeve, but no significant damage like tears or creases are immediately apparent. The colors on the artwork still appear bright and unfaded. Based on the VHS format and the style of the artwork, this item likely dates back to the mid-to-late 1990s, when 'Sailor Moon' gained significant popularity in Western markets. The quality of the printing on the sleeve appears good, with clear character designs and crisp text. There are no obvious manufacturer's marks or signatures visible from this angle, though they would typically be located on the spine or back of the packaging.
