Today is the day I found out they're making a new Sailor Moon anime series (http://io9.com/5924149/sailor-moon-returns-to-tv-next-summer-with-a-new-anime-series).
BRB, browsing Wikipedia for words and phrases to describe how much this pleases me.

This is pretty good news. I will be looking forward to checking this out whenever I get that chance in the future when this starts showing.

Yeah I heard about this! I hope if they dub it they don't butcher it like they did the first time with the first series.
WHAT NO WAY SAILOR MOON IS MY MOST FAVORITE EVER.

I'm sure it will get a dub for an inevitable DVD release and I'm sure it will be a lot better this time, the circumstances are very different.

Im sure this will make the the centre of hatred in this thread, but I actually prefer the butchered english dub to the original. The music was better, in the opening and especially during transformation/attack sequences, and the voices were less shrill. Also it explained the morale of each story at the end in a neat little segment. I assume the horrible dub/re-edit was made the make the show more accessible to both genders (ie less boring for stupid boys), and it worked for me.
Also I use to have the biggest crush on Mercury.
Is...this real? You mean that's an actual article, not just a blog rumor page for the billionth time....
Am I dreaming...wait, I'm not????

Oh man I want to like, throw a party or something! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! YAYAYAYAYAY!
I'm not even kidding, this is the best news ever. EVER.

For some reason I thought sailor moon was a hentai so I never watched it.

So like, is this going to be a reboot sort of thing? Because that would be really really awesome. I LOVED Sailor Moon when I was a kid, but I watch it now and I'm like "omigawd this is every bad dub cliche."

Yes, a reboot that's supposedly going to follow the manga more closely. I'm hoping they're following Evangelion's example (though Eva is making movies while Sailor Moon is making a new series) and go for ultimate badassery. I love the new Eva movies.

I would be cool with either a brand new chapter or a reboot. A reboot makes more sense though, because as far as I'm aware, Naoko Takeuchi hasn't written any more Sailor Moon, and she's apparently giving this her blessing, which also makes a reboot more closely following the manga make sense, seeing as she didn't seem to like all the changes that were made to the anime.
Man, I would totally love for it to be all awesome dark and gritty and for the senshi to flat out KILL the baddies like they did in the manga; not heal or purify or make good or any of that, like the anime writers were hellbent on doing with so many of the villains.
Oh man, and I would love to see them do Super S and Stars more like the manga, and add in all those senshi they left out! Like the Asteroid Senshi (whom the Amazoness Quartet become) and all those ones they left out of stars like Heavy Metal Papillon and the two who guard that creepy river! OH AND SAILOR COSMOS!
Gaaaah so much potential! I can't wait!

I remember watching the live-action Sailor Moon, and how that followed the manga more than the anime did. At least that's what I've been told about it.

It did early on but then midway through it changed radically from the manga storyline.
The Live Action series actually had an excellent story, better than the anime in some respects, in my opinion. It's just that...everything about it was cheesy and B-grade as hell. :p
I came into this thread again to specifically say FUCK YEAH SAILOR COSMOS, but DMKA beat me to it. It would be great to get in-depth with all the Chaos stuff.
I'm really interested to see what they do. Like, it might be minor, but I wonder if they'll get new civilian outfits. Since the reboot will be made in a new century.
Also, maybe if they do another SuperS it won't be so FUCKING AWFUL.
I'm excited about this because I feel like they can do so much with it. And if they do do a dub, hopefully they won't give Molly a fucking Brooklyn accent.

I agree that Super S has got to be the weakest of the five series, and my least favorite. I still like it though.
You know what else would be cool? If Sailor Saturn and Tuxedo Mask get transformation sequences this time around! Whee!
Was Tuxedo Mask as lame in the manga as he was in the anime?
If not, I'd like to see him beefed up some.

The live action series was hilarious. Some parts were closer to the manga, but a lot of it wasn't. Randomly using either a plush Luna or computer generated Luna was odd.
Also, maybe if they do another SuperS it won't be so smurfING AWFUL.
Yeah, and I do hope that the English dub doesn't make Neptune and Uranus "very close" cousins this time.

Maybe. I kind of hope they make all of their transformation sequences short and sweet, since I believe animation is cheaper to produce now.

He was better in the manga. In the anime he's kind of lifeless and doesn't even really seem to like Usagi. In the manga he's more romantic, and actually has powers, like Tuxedo La Smoking Bomber... whatever that means.
I hope they make Jupiter more nature-oriented as in the manga, with her flower powers.

Also, Luna turns into a human girl...um...why? Dark Mercury was kind of fun. But mostly the live action version was just WTF--but in a good way, I thought. It was funny.
You know, I'll go on record saying I don't think a live action version of Sailor Moon HAS to be campy, if it's done properly.

Me too! I want my lesbian Sailor Scouts to be lesbians!

I'm with Shlup on this one. Maybe a decent transformation sequence the first time the change and before big battles or something. But just for the Monster of the Day, that's not really necessary to have a full length animation every time. They really drag, and in the original series, it kind of messed up the pacing of the show in most situations.

Unfortunately, I never got to read the manga. I've spent so many hours reading on wikipedia, but I don't a.) know where to buy the manga b.) have the money to buy an entire manga series. They're expensive, and usually run for a long time.

The re-release of the Sailor Moon manga (ongoing at the moment) is only twelve volumes in all, which isn't too bad. I'd say just buy off Amazon, but then that depends on your location.

I can get behind that. I would like a big fancy transformation sequence for their initial transformations, or power ups, but's it's not really necessary every single battle.
I hope they make Jupiter more nature-oriented as in the manga, with her flower powers.
Yeah, I don't really get why, aside of Oak Evolution, they seemed really hellbent on ignoring all her non-thunder attacks.
I would also like to see Sailor Venus use her sword. Hell, I'd like to see Sailor Venus treated properly in the sense that she's really more of a leader than Sailor Moon could ever hope to be.
VENUS HAS A SWORD?

There are things I do like about the English dub better than the original, mainly the soundtrack is just better but other than that and nostalgia that makes me love it, I do prefer the Japanese anime and manga more. I hope they keep Mamoru talking to his four Generals even after their debut. In fact, my favorite thing about the anime is that they fleshed out the villains more, I absolutely love Prince Endymion's Four Generals.

I know. Let me know how you liked it when you're done!
More dudes in this thread than chicks. Totally legit. No, I mean, Sailor Moon does rock. I used to watch it on Cheez TV all the time and when it ran before Dragon Ball Z it was like I was being assaulted with the feminine and masculine and my mind didn't know which it was supposed to take in more of.

I'm REALLY excited for this. I have the English and Japanese versions of the complete anime in box set DVD's. I tried re-re-rewatching the series and just couldn't get into it. Hopefully this will get me back into it, and hopefully the new anime will be more directed to older audiences...hopefully. And now that the manga's being rereleased (and more importantly, this means I'll be able to find them at much cheaper prices), I can finally learn firsthand what's actually supposed to go down in Stars. :D
