KPop Demon Hunters Is This Generation’s Sailor Moon

by

I’ve been absolutely thrilled by the success of “KPop Demon Hunters” on Netflix! It’s no secret that this animated gem has captured the hearts of countless animation enthusiasts, myself included. With Sony Pictures’ film breaking records as one of the most-watched movies on the streaming platform, it’s only fitting that Huntrix is set to make a grand entrance in theaters for a “sing-along” event this week. The anticipation is palpable, as hundreds of theaters have already sold out their screenings! Netflix certainly has every right to liken the franchise to their own modern take on “Disney’s Frozen“. As a die-hard Sailor Moon fan, I can’t help but see parallels between these captivating stories and the magical world of Sailor Moon. Here’s hoping “KPop Demon Hunters” continues to enchant us!

The primary similarities between the two franchises lie in their superheroines. Both Huntrix and the Sailor Scouts exhibit similar characteristics, particularly in their powers and adversaries. The Sailor Scouts, led by Usagi, would often undergo transformations to access their powers, whereas Huntrix doesn’t typically transform throughout most of KPop Demon Hunters series. However, a transformation is demonstrated during the final display, featuring Rumi, Mira, and Zoey from Huntrix, who also gain transformation abilities related to the Honmon, helping them seal the demons in the film’s conclusion.

The influence of both “KPop Demon Hunters” and “Sailor Moon” on popular culture is evident, as both shows quickly became familiar names after their debuts. As for Huntrix, it seems that, should the Netflix film reach comparable heights, it may join the ranks of the Sailor Scouts, or perhaps even surpass them if they haven’t already. The flamboyant costumes, signature moves, and vibrant creatures in “KPop Demon Hunters” could effortlessly blend with Usagi and her friends’ universe, demonstrating how these two series can coexist harmoniously.

Demon Hunters Hit The Stage

Although the Sailor Scouts usually don’t break into song during battles against Queen Beryl’s minions, Toei Animation understood the role music plays in promoting the Sailor Moon brand. A notable example of this is the live-action Sailor Moon musical stage play, which has been touring across North America and providing fans with a fresh way to engage with the anime series. Despite no new anime adaptation for the shojo series being confirmed yet, it’s evident that Sailor Moon is a franchise with significant longevity.

It’s been revealed in recent updates that the popular series KPop Demon Hunters is considering taking a cue from Sailor Moon‘s approach on stage, as Netflix is said to be discussing a real-world tour. This strategy could be beneficial for Huntrix given its popularity and the fact that Netflix aims to expand its universe in a manner similar to the Sailor Scouts. Although not yet confirmed, it’s possible that KPop Demon Hunters may also be planning a television series to delve into the lives of Rumi, Zoey, and Mira. With Netflix aiming to capitalize on the soaring success of the movie, possibilities are endless.

Huntrix Vs. The Sailor Scouts

Absolutely, “KPop Demon Hunters” and “Sailor Moon” are quite distinct entities in the animation universe. “Sailor Moon” was an emblematic series when it premiered in the early 1990s, paving the way for other anime heroines. Similarly, “Huntrix” reflects the growing affection for K-pop music, a genre that’s currently captivating global audiences. Although there may be some similarities between the trio of Demon Hunters and the Sailor Scouts, their time in entertainment has helped shape them into distinct characters with unique identities.

More recently, KPop Demon Hunters has generated considerable excitement with its upcoming theatrical sing-along event, marking a significant milestone that Sailor Moon couldn’t capitalize on. So far, over one thousand screenings have been sold out, suggesting a potentially larger theatrical presence for Huntrix. In essence, while KPop Demon Hunters isn‘t an anime, it is proving to be a compelling example of what can propel animation to new heights.
