*Note:* Pretty Guardians of Olympus *(PGOO) is a fan spin off of* Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon*. It originally was an alternative adaptation of SailorTrekkie92's work of the same name but this adaptation has taken a life of its own and now carries very few similarities to Trekkie's fan-fiction. It is currently undergoing a massive overhaul so bare with me as I fix things up.*
**Pretty Guardians of Olympus Gold** (オリンパスの可愛い守護者Gold, *Orinpasu no Kawaii Gādian Gold*?) is the third adaptation of Chio-Ane's *Pretty Guardians of Olympus* manga series. The story closely follows the source material unlike its predecessors. It was proceeded by two earlier adaptations of the story: *Pretty Heroine Sailor Olympus* which was in live-action and *the original anime series*.

## Seasons

### Season 1

The first season followed the plot of the Underworld arc and started airing on December 6, 2014; a year after the announcement for the new adaptation of the story for the franchise's anniversary. However, every episode was released every other week. The season finale aired in mid to early 2015. The season was infamous for the exclusion of some major plot details and characterization in favor of rushing the arc while also making it feel incredibly slow.

### Season 2

The season was infamous for the exclusion of some major plot details and characterization in favor of rushing the arc while also making it feel incredibly slow.

Unlike the other arcs of the series, the Eris arc was notably shorter in duration and did not have much of a story impact besides establishing the origins of the Sailor Guardians and starting to properly introduce the gods. It was decided to adapt the arc into a singular feature length film that was released half a year after the third season's conclusion.

### Pretty Guardians of Olympus Golden Dreams

## Special Remasters

As part of the 25th anniversary celebration, the first two seasons were announced that they were to be remastered and redone to be properly paced and now includes any plot points previously cut. These remasters were released as 9 TV specials each 55 minutes long. The art style was also changed to ultimately reflect the current art style of the series and Sailor Moon Crystal. In favor of saving screen time, transformation animations only appeared once or twice per character and attack animations were shortened after the first time being seen. The remasters were released from January 2019 to April 2019 In Japan. The remasters were released on Netflix and Hulu internationally in three chunks which each contained 3 specials in June and July 2020.

The first 4 specials and the first half of the fifth special focused on the Underworld arc and the remaining specials focused on the Black Moon Clan arc; each covering 3 to 4 Acts.
