The Meitu M8 Smartphone and Selfie Wand are Official Sailor Moon Products

Sailor Moon is one of the most popular anime franchises both in Asia and on the other side of the Pacific, and the new Meitu M8 smartphone is taking advantage of the cartoon's universal appeal. The smartphone is available as a standard, selfie-focused device, but the company is also offering a special Sailor Moon Meitu M8 to appease the franchise's biggest fans.

The Sailor Moon-themed device offers all the same technological pluses as it's less gaudy counterpart, but it is soft pink and gold with a Sailor Moon logo emblazoned on the back. The Meitu M8 also comes with a selfie stick that is designed to resemble the wand that Sailor Moon uses in the comic and animation series.

Meitu also offers a selfie app that has become one of the most popular in Asia, so the Meitu M8 offers impressive clarity and effects for snapping oneself.
