Alright! Bring on the new anime!

Posted: **Fri Jan 10, 2014 10:41 am**

With this date, that makes it a full two whole years since the new anime was announced.

Also, additional news - http://corp.toei-anim.co.jp/press/2014/01/post_74.php

Atsutoshi Umezawa will be the producer and says that the new anime will not be a remake of the old one, but another reboot altogether that will adapt from the original manga like both the 90's anime and the Tokusatsu did.

Here is Umezawa's anime résumé - http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=8925

A reboot? Okay, I'm down with that. Heck, preorders for Sailor Venus just dropped at BBTS here. Bring on more!

News update regarding more of the production staff of the new anime - http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-02-27/new-sailor-moon-anime-adds-majestic-prince-animator-naruto-composer

The new Sailor Moon anime is recruiting Yukie Sako (chief animation director on Majestic Prince, Nyan Koi!) as the character designer and Yasuharu Takanashi (Naruto Shippūden, Fairy Tail, Precure franchise) as the composer. The art directors will be Takashi Kurahashi (Mononoke, Gatchaman Crowds, Hakaba Kitarō) and Yumi Hosaka (Mononoke, Gatchaman Crowds). King Records is producing the soundtrack.

Munehisa Sakai (One Piece, One Piece: Strong World, Suite Precure) is directing this new adaptation of Naoko Takeuchi's original manga at Toei Animation, the studio behind the first anime. Yūji Kobayashi (scripts on Saint Seiya Omega, Smile Precure!) is in charge of the series scripts, and Momoiro Clover Z is performing the theme song.

The new anime will begin streaming worldwide on the Niconico service in July. Producer Atsutoshi Umezawa (Precure franchise) said that it "is not remaking the previous anime, but adapting the original manga and starting from scratch again."

Takeuchi launched the original magical girl team manga series in the shōjo monthly manga magazine Nakayoshi in 1992. It soon spawned anime, a live-action television project, musicals, and other adaptations, and it also sparked a worldwide boom. The 20th anniversary project began in 2012, and featured the first musical in eight years at the AiiA Theater Tokyo last September. Kodansha has been republishing the original manga in a complete edition since last November, and Kodansha USA Publishing's Kodansha Comics imprint has been publishing the manga in North America.

Yeah, but it'd be cool/weird if the real things arrived. :p

By now they'd be twenty years older than they used to be. Women in their 30s now.

So, there was supposed to be this big reveal on the official website in eight days - http://sailormoon-official.com/animation/

But it got leaked early since the person running the site decided to go ahead and upload all the webpage files at once instead of day-by-day. :roll:

Going to the last one reveals this - http://sailormoon-official.com/img/animation/anime.png

In case it gets taken down, here's a mirrored version - http://s4.postimg.org/lm86ke9cb/anime.png

Despite the misleading title, it is still just a remake and not a continuation of the old anime.

EDIT: English translation of the image - http://s16.postimg.org/jz7991uv9/Bip07_Nd_CEAAj_Vf_M_jpg_large.jpg

Posted: **Fri Mar 14, 2014 6:22 pm**

Looks like the official site just gave up and posted the art anyway. Though, the top caption has been changed.

That said, I feel compelled enough to actually embed it now.

Posted: **Fri Mar 14, 2014 6:58 pm**

Still no official trailer. THE WAIT IS KILLING ME!

Posted: **Sat Mar 15, 2014 2:31 pm**

Oh, that's some gorgeous art. Thanks, Sabrblade.

Niiiiice. Altough I love the classic design, the new one is more similar to Naoko's original. I'm looking forward to see them in motion.

Posted: **Sun Apr 27, 2014 8:24 am**

Ooh, pretty! Thanks for the information!

As Kanrabat said, can't wait to see these moving about.

I got the Figuarts Zero Sailor Moon statue in the mail Friday. Hot damn she's gorgeous.

Fan translations of the website character bios - http://missdream.org/sailor-moon-crystal-news/sailor-moon-crystal-character-sheets-english/

Note the typo in Usagi's bio calling her a 7th grader instead of an 8th grader. And the typo in each of Rei's bios: "Heps" instead of "helps", and "our" instead of "out".

Posted: **Sun Apr 27, 2014 5:03 pm**

Long legs are long. =P~

Yes, they are.

Although they've been that way since the franchise started.

Posted: **Tue Apr 29, 2014 7:31 am**

Sorry about the double post, but...

We have a Figuarts Sailor Saturn.

And she looks gorgeous!
