Anime
Opening Theme
The opening theme for the first season is La Leyenda de la Luz de Luna or simply Luz de Luna, a Spanish version of the original anime opening. After the logo appears however there is a shot of an eclipse then Queen Serenity and a shot of Usagi using some sort of power on the moon in a hall. From there on in the animation is the same apart from the last 6 seconds which are different to the English dub's. With a number of characters the English language trading card game's convention of English given name and Japanese surname is followed. The opening song was used for the entire series. The opening sequences were changed for each season, now creditless and additional footage was added in order to cover all Japanese words.
All songs were performed by Marisa De Lille and no extended versions were recorded.
Censorship
- Zoisite was changed to be a woman, just like in the English dub. That is because from episode 1 to 65, the Mexican dub didn't use the transcript's the original Japanese episodes, but from the English episodes. From episode 66 onwards there was a dubbing director change, so the episodes used transcript's from the original Japanese episodes.
- Fish Eye received a female voice, which lead viewers to think that he was a woman. There was no hint of him being a man until episode 137, where Hawk's Eye says, after seeing him infatuated with Kitakata, "Pero, si somos hombres..." ("But, we are men..."). In episode 140, another hint appeared after he took off his dress, revealing a flat chest, but until the end of the Amazon's Trio's appearances, she would sometimes continue to refer to herself using female pronouns. Nontheless, Fisheye became female.
- Some video scenes is cutter for matching dialogue. In some TV channels was omited the scenes of transformation of the Sailor Scouts.
- Haruka Tenou (Sailor Uranus) is voiced with a gravelly tone in his human form and as Sailor is more fine. Too, she and Michiru Kaiou relationship isn't so overtly mentioned.

Video Releases
Talk Box Series
In November 2011, Tower Entertainment started releasing the "Sailor Moon Talk Box" series, a DVD collection of all the anime episodes of Sailor Moon in Spanish. Up to now, the first and second seasons have been released, as well as the first half of the third season, and there are plans to release the rest of the series.
The volumes released are:
- Sailor Moon: Talk Box Moon
- Sailor Moon: Talk Box Mercury
- Sailor Moon: Talk Box Mars
- Sailor Moon: Talk Box Jupiter
- Sailor Moon: Talk Box Venus
There are five more volumes planned but the release dates are not confirmed yet. These belong to Sailor Chibi Moon and the Outer Senshi.
Manga
In Mexico, only two arcs of the manga were released, the Dream and Stars arc and both were published by Editorial Vid. The full collection consists of 24 chapters and it ends at the beginning of Stars. This version was published in a magazine named Mixxzine alongside other series, Magic Knight Rayearth. A comic book version of the first arc was released, but that was based on the anime instead of the manga. [6]
A Spanish version of the manga published by Editorial Glénat was exported to Mexico and several Latin American countries. This version does contain all five original arcs, but the characters and attacks' names correspond to the ones released in Spain ("Bunny" instead of "Usagi", "Armando" for "Mamoru", etc).
