Co-produced by Toei Animation and Studio Deen and distributed by Toei Company, Eternal is a direct continuation and a "fourth season" for the Sailor Moon Crystal anime series.

Production

On January 25, 2017, it was announced on the official Sailor Moon 25th anniversary website that the Sailor Moon Crystal anime would continue. Later, on June 30 of the same year, it was revealed that the fourth season based on Dream arc of the manga was to be produced as a two-part theatrical anime film project. Additionally, Chiaki Kon, who was a series director for its third season, reprised her role as a director for the two-part film.

On June 30, 2018, it was announced that the film's production had begun, and Kazuko Tadano, who handled the character designs for the first two seasons of the 1990s Sailor Moon anime series and Sailor Moon R: The Movie, was chosen as a character designer for the film. Tadano had commented: "I never dreamed that I'd be able to participate in this work that I had been involved with 25 years ago.

At the time of production, the film's original name was Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal The Movie -Dead Moon arc- (劇場版「美少女戦士セーラームーンCrystal（クリスタル）」＜デッド・ムーン編＞, Gekijōban Bishōjo Senshi Sērā Mūn Kurisutaru Dēddō Mūn Hen).

On June 30, 2019, more staff has been revealed: Kazuyuki Fudeyasu served as a screenwriter, original creator and manga artist Naoko Takeuchi chief supervised the films' production, Studio Deen co-animated and produced the films with Toei Animation, and the name for the two-part film was decided as Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal The Movie (劇場版「美少女戦士セーラームーンEternal（エターナル）」, Gekijōban Bishōjo Senshi Sērā Mūn Etānaru).

Most of the main voice actors from Sailor Moon Crystal had returned for the two-part film, but, for unknown reasons, Taishi Murata took over Yohei Oobayashi's role as Artemis. In April 2020, it was announced that Yoshitsugu Matsuoka will voice Pegasus/Helios for the film. In August 2020, it was announced that Shouta Aoi, Satoshi Hino, and Toshiyuki Toyonaga were to voice the Amazon Trio: Fish Eye, Tiger's Eye, and Hawk's Eye.
