High-pitched, relentlessly fast-paced, and filmed in eye-gouging, gumball color, this video series collects dubbed episodes of the Japanese animated series about a group of schoolgirl superheroes. In Japan, it's a lighthearted kiddy variation on a popular sub-genre--stories of alienated, but supernaturally gifted adolescents granted paranormal powers and enlisted in apocalyptic struggles between the dimensions. Imported to the United States in an attempt to create a Power Rangers-style mega-hit for girls, Sailor Moon hasn't become a mainstream phenomenon on that scale, although it has passionate, even obsessive fans, many of whom are much older than the intended demographic. (A Sailor Moon Web search can be a truly surreal experience.) The chirpy, giggly tone may be off-putting for some, but the level of visual imagination (and the self-sufficient courage of the young heroines) is exhilarating, especially when kids and parents watch together. This is this fifth volume in the video series: Serena, as Sailor Moon, has by now enlisted the support of a high-powered troop of Sailor Scouts--Sailor Mercury, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus, et al. In the first of these two episodes, "A Crystal Clear Destiny," secret identities have to be revealed in a crisis, always a sticky wicket for a superheroine. In "A Relunctant Princess," Serena's moon force gets a power boost. (Running time: 44 minutes) --David Chute
