It's been said the new anime was going to follow the manga more closely and the artwork would seem to be indicative of that. I'm wondering how closely, though. I can't see them being able to pull off the Hellsing Ultimate/Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood thing as well because the manga's pacing is quick and I can't see a twenty minute episode coming out of it if they followed it frame by frame.
I do not approve. :colbert:Quote:

Caught this over in TLS and thought I'd share it here.
I also thought about making a thread, but nah.
ITS ALL THOSE GOD DAMN MICHAEL BAY ACTION MOVIES GOING TO HER HEAD
Who would she be? Beryl? She definitely does not have a heroine look.
She could pull off Mars!
Hey, respect though. She mentioned Gundam Wing .
It struck me as odd that she wondered how popular SM was, but not for GW... Unless I read/interpreted that wrong.
I once read a thing about actresses who could be the scouts and stuff and someone suggested Mischa Barton for Sailor Moon.
...... Just. No.
I'd be very sad if Mega Fox got cast in it. I was already pretty sad to see her as April in the upcoming Turtles film. I don't think she's a very good actress.

The website was recently updated with new character art. We also know who the voice actresses are. From what I was told, the series is starting July 5th, 2 episodes per month. The new stuff will follow the manga much more closely, and is an ONA (released one-by-one over the internet instead of aired on TV).
JUPITER WON'T LOSE HER WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
I remember really enjoying the series when I was a kid. I tried to watch it again recently since everyone is all "YAY SAILOR MOON" ya know cause of the new one, anyway, I couldn't make it through the first episode. Although it was the english dub soooo
I'm excited to see a new version though.
The first episode in Japanese isn't exactly better than the dub. It just has more scenes that make that episode make more sense.Quote:

Don't worry about Megan Fox starring in a Sailor Moon movie. Naoko will never sell the rights.
The new character models look fantastic.

I also love that they used the classic Cinderella colors instead of the weird bulltrout they use now.
It's funny because Anastasia isn't Disney.

So in addition to this new series, they've also announced today that they're releasing all 200 episodes of the original Sailor Moon/R/S/Super S/Stars anime on blu-ray, completely remastered, and with a brand new English dub (which I totally cannot believe). It will also be available to watch on Hulu starting May 19th.
Trailer

I'm so pumped. I never thought they'd redub Sailor Moon or release it in HD. Jesus Christ all my weeaboo dreams are coming true.:excited::excited::excited::excited::excited:
OMG SHUT UP.
Ordering!
Are they going to use the original Sailor Moon English actresses? What about Sailor Moon? They went through 3 diff ladies for her throughout the seasons they originally dubbed in English...
I can't find any info on that though ;_;
That's cool, but part of the charm of the English dub was how lame and campy it was! This will make it legit, which is good and all... but it's no Sailor Says.
I wonder if they'll dub Sailor Stars now!
It's a completely new dub, and the first four episodes will be available on the 19th. That means that they will eventually dub Sailor Stars ("first North American release"). The content is uncut (4:3), uses original names (and relationships), and you get two more episodes per week (out of 200).Quote:

Back to back Sailor Moon goodness.
I watched the episodes currently up on Hulu instead of working like I should have been. It was a nice nostalgia bomb. I'd never seen the episode about the fortune teller before. I've only witnessed the botched English edit that aired on Toonami when I was a kid.
It was nice seeing Umino, Naru, her teacher, and her family. I remember a lot of them just kind of disappearing past a certain point. Maybe they were cut out of episodes that I've yet to see or something. Mostly I recall that cotton candy demon Chibiusa gaining powers and destroying the show. By SuperS it was like she was the star, Usagi was her sidekick, and everyone else got a cameo if I was really lucky. Hopefully my memory on that is wrong, but I have a million episodes to go before I have to worry about it.
Nope, Umino, Naru et al were just forgotten past a certain point. xD
Halfway through season 2. She shows up once after that. This is including the 12 or so episodes they removed for the original English dub.
Like a lot of shounen type shows, there are powers they pulled out of their asses that they never use again. It's mostly the result of filler needing to keep people interested.
What I always hated was that even when the other girls got their turn in the spotlight, Sailor Moon *somehow* always seemed to show up and steal the show again. Well, not always, but a lot of the time.
Well, toward the end of the second season the main antagonist does corrupt her and turn her into a super powered baddie. An arc of the story which was very cool in my opinion.Quote:
Originally Posted by Kyle
It wasn't until two seasons later that they decided to make her and her zoophilic romance the center of attention, which is why most people agree that Super S is the weakest of the five series.
And then in the last season they completely wrote her out of the show. :p
Umino and Naru had an episode during the fourth season (Super S) seemingly out of nowhere. If I recall correctly that's the last time we ever see them. Haruna disappeared after the first season.Quote:

Whoa
There's nothing like that first transformation, huh, Usagi?
Japanese apparently really freaks out my cat
Something for the kids...
I just watched the trailer for Sailor Moon Crystal. When she said "MOOOOOOOON PRISAMUU POWAAAAA MAKUU UP!" and realized it's her original voice actress, I screamed. :D
It looks so different from the other one. More grown up, closer to the manga. They also got rid of those heart shapes on their planetary symbols, apparently. :p

What you probably haven't heard, it'll follow the manga almost exactly.
It will air on Crunchyroll, and there will be an English option, but it probably won't be dubbed. By extension that means you'll be able to see it on niconico using a guest pass.
Animage article translation.
Viz plans in detail for AnimeExpo
EVERY OTHER WEEK WHAT IS THIS BULLTROUT
Is it being shown on television at all or just online streaming?
If it's going to follow the manga exactly, then it's going to be quite a different beast than the original anime. There are a lot of moments in the manga that are way more dark and violent than anything in the anime was. Naoko Takeuchi had no problem making her magical mini-skirted schoolgirl heroines kill their opponents (and in at least one case, each other) rather than healing/reforming/rebirthing/etc them. :p
I guess it also means Zoisite and Kunzite won't be gay this time around. :p
Not enough Sailor Moon to satisfy my needs.Quote:

I'm not sure about lack of character development for the villains. The original first arc is kind of short in the manga and this is still suppose to be 26 episodes? I think we'll get some expansion on concepts and characters just to fill up time. I also wouldn't be surprised if they keep some concepts from the original anime as I feel it is possible without going against the manga version of the story.
Most of the named villains in the original manga were disposed of as easily as monsters of the day were in the original anime. Jadeite/Nephrite/Zoisite/Kunzite got a lot more time in the anime compared to the manga; in exchange, Beryl's backstory was not at all touched upon in the anime. My guess is that there's going to be some kind of compromise between how fleshed out they were in anime and how little they mattered in the manga.
If the show is adapting only the Beryl arc, then the new show gets slightly longer than half of the original airing to get its point across. That's 26 instead of 46. To put it in perspective, it took 20 episodes before Jupiter even showed up. 42 before Venus. When the article mentioned how closely they wanted to keep things to the manga, I sort of figured that there was some exaggeration, or else it'll drag a little.
Venus is still the best girl, in case anyone had any doubts.
What happened to Asian efficiency??
so the manga only covers the Beryl Arc?
We won't get any episodes with the outer scouts!?
damnit.
It got lost in the last round of budget cuts for being redundant.Quote:

Honestly, if you go back and watch the original 46 episode series, there was a lot of filler. 26 episodes is more than enough to cover the first story arc without skipping anything.
Also, they very well may go past the first story arc and get to the Black Moon/Infinity/Dream/Stars arcs, but I'm guessing that'll depend on how successful the first arc turns out. I sure hope they go through the other arcs. Super S and Stars, while great, really didn't do the manga stories justice at all, and need a do over far more than the first arc does.
If they don't do the full series I'm going to cut somebody.
That too.Quote:

Ohh yeah. Could easily skip everything except for the first Rainbow episode (27-31). Could skip the filler after our spoiler episodes (36-39) but before Venus shows up. The first 24 episodes could be condensed into some major events: Sailor Moon introduced and an episode for development, Mercury, development, Mars, development, Jadeite losing, Nephrite losing, Zoisite showing up, internal Negaverse politics. I just cut out (14 + 7 + 4 = 25) episodes, meaning that of the original 46, we are left with 21 absolutely necessary episodes. That leaves 5 extra episodes for the new series to do whatever they wanted.Quote:

If anime in Japan is mostly product promotion for the real meal (LNs and manga proper), then Sailor Moon already did its job 20 years ago. The bulk of the money has been made from merchandising/licensing, and there isn't any new material to sell. The remake isn't selling something else, it's selling itself, and that is a recipe for disaster in Japan.
With the, at times, lackluster attitude of pushing this remake out, I don't see any of us getting an updated version of the last four arcs in anime format. The only case is if this anime sells so well outside and inside of Japan that it justifies updates for the rest of the series. I'm talking Madoka levels of sales.
If you wanted to put that in perspective, that's like SHAFT getting 60000 DVD sales when prior to that, anything it released barely broke 6000 even for their most popular series (in the first week). And you know what? SHAFT had to do that twice before they considered any more content for either show (and we still don't have Kizumonogatari). Toei on the other hand, is considerably more accomplished (DBZ), and has the One Piece cash cow franchise. They have no reason to support Sailor Moon any longer beyond what they are already doing.
tl;dr if you want Sailor Moon season 2 you need to buy the DVDs and Blu Rays the moment they come out.
So I guess the first episode was shown recently at a convention somewhere. Some of it has leaked online and I did see some tiny bits from it but then I forced myself to stop watching because I don't want to completely spoil it for myself.

BUT! SOON! :excited:
TWO MORE SLEEPS!
Having just watched the first episode I must confess that I'm not as disappointed with it as I expected to be.
The opening song not being moonlight densetsu was a bit of a disappointment though.
Tuxedo mask seems to be even more useless than original but its just one episode so far. so I'm with holding judgement on him, except no rose throwing is a plus. does anyone know how old he is meant to be?
hopefully we'll get more info on what happened on the moon, beyond the whole beryl and metallia killing everyone thing we already know.
On the plus side it looks like they are not going to waste an episode on the crybaby and go straight to Ami.
for the record saturn is my fave senshi.
I was pretty much the exact same as the original anime's first episode, which is fine. x}
TWO WEEKS UNTIL THE NEXT ONE UGH I CANNOT WAIT
I just watched the first episode and I'm really happy with it. It's more or less exactly the same as the original first episode, but I was expecting that since that was one of the few episodes that was exactly like the manga.
The biggest change I could see is that they actually spent time on the dreams of the Silver Millenium, and they're apparently wasting no time getting to Mercury. If this episode is any indication, they really are going to follow the manga like they said this time around.
The only nitpick I had is the new transformation... I mean it's cool and all, I just don't know how I feel about the CGI.
They also made commecial bumpers for the episode, so I'm curious if we will in fact see it on TV one day.
I love it.
I just read that they are going to dub it.
And Johnny Yong Bosch- AKA the 2nd Black Ranger in Power Rangers- is gonna voice Artemis.
omg.
Okay, that was awesome. Loved it up. Such hype, need more.

Cool. A large chunk is the original cast ....
Here's a full HD version of the fab new intro
I have a bad feeling the incredibly fast pace of the manga may hurt them in the long run, but I immensely enjoyed what flashed across my computer monitor for 20+ minutes. Having the original voice actress reprise her role as Usagi was a big plus. Everyone looks amazing and the moment where she said her transformation phrase gave me goosebumps.
That part where the chorus starts and they're all blasting their powers all over the place is amaaazzzzzing.Quote:

They're keeping all of the Japanese names. She's Usagi.Quote:

I watched the first episode of Crystal and enjoyed it enough. Origin stories are what they are, so it's hard to gauge much from just that. Her new transformation is a little too video game for me at times, but I like that she bitch slaps the screen the same way that I bitch slap people in real life.

I'm not sure how I feel about the new voices. It feels almost unnatural hearing them coming out of the characters' mouths. Does the actual DVD at least has some music playing in the background? I'd probably need to listen more, but right now I honestly prefer the old voices.

http://i.imgur.com/GSdJGjm.png
holy trout thats hot, another QUALITY moment from the new sailor moon
Yeah, Sailor Mars definitely has the coolest new transformation so far. Episode 3 was great.
I am curious whether they'll continue being faithful to the manga like they promised at this point, because in the manga (SPOILER)Sailor Mars, along with Phobos and Deimos, kill Jadeite right after her awakening, pretty violently I might add. He didn't look very dead when she attacked him in Crystal though, and Phobos and Deimos were nowhere to be found during the battle. It was a tiny bit disappointing because up until this point they had been following the manga super faithfully like they'd promised.
But I'm cool if they deviate here and there. It'd just be awesome to see the manga stories properly displayed in anime form. Nearly all of the greatest climactic moments of the manga are greatly altered or completely absent in the original anime series. I'm still crossing my fingers in hope Crystal remedies that.
All of the different versions of Sailor Moon went in their own direction and became great because of it. I won't be bothered if they deviate into their own thing like PGSM and Sera Myu did.
Episode 3 was so good.
I heartell that they were going to add things to the anime that Naoko was unable to put in the manga due to time constraints. This makes me wonder if they're going to go more into the back story of the four kings and the four senshi. Notice Jadeite mentioned something about being drawn to Mars or whatever.
4 Kings? What?
I have issues with their feet. The way their drawn. IDK Why. I just don't like it.
They're called the troutennou which means "Four Heavenly Kings."Quote:

Originally Posted by Quin

The arm length/proportion is kinda off. Her right arm is entirely gone, even though to hold your left arm with your right hand like that, the right elbow should still be visible (try it yourself, your right elbow is much closer to the ground by a few inches).
Her left hand would have to be facing outward for the thumb to be on the bottom. While there is a visible crease in her gloves by the thumb (her Life Line) to indicate that her palm is on the outside, there's no visible left elbow.
Her pinky is also extremely far off of where she should be, and that's even if she's not double jointed between the ring and pinky fingers. Her pinky actually more resembles a thumb. Normally a pinky has two joints, but this one only has one. Do you know anyone who has a pinky that's only half as long as their ring finger? I sure don't, and I know people who are missing pinkies and ring fingers.
I mean, this is a pretty QUALITY moment, and that was before the fake six fingers troll bit.
If you stagger your shoulders, right one back/left one forward, you can actually reach up and grab your left hand with your right one like that, and not have your right elbow drooped. Both arms are fully extended. It would hide most of the left arm when seen from that angle. It feels unnatural, but it does look close to that picture.Quote:

Not sure what you guys are expecting with the animation. They're working under a tighter budget than before and the show isn't even airing on TV.
Not expecting anything, man. I just love quality anime, and have come to expect it on all fronts.

So guessing Sailor Mars ?
I like to think that Sharky was actually role playing as Sailor Mars when he tried this out.Quote:

Episode 4 was pretty great. It seems like Episode 3 was really rushed or something, because I didn't notice any QUALITY shots in this episode. Episode 3 was full of them. o__O
It's pretty crazay how fast they're flying through the plot. They're continuing their ritual of one episode per manga act and naming each episode after the respective manga act it's based on. I wonder what they're going to do with those extra episodes and what they're going to call them. One thing's for sure, 26 episodes will be more than enough to cover the first story arc at this rate.
Then again, they are starting to take little liberties here and there, which has me quite intrigued as to where it's going to go. (SPOILER)Jadeite is still living, and there was never a confrontation between all four kings and the senshi like that before so they've definitely decided to take Crystal in it's own direction contrary to their initial claims, which I'm totally cool with.
I'm loving how manga attacks are showing up that never appeared in the old series too. Even though she didn't say (SPOILER)MOON TWIURIGHT FRASH! she still used the attack, which was awesome. From the next episode preview, it also looks like we're going to get to see (SPOILER)Jupiter's Flower Hurricane. I hope they continue this trend.
I'm so excited for the next episode. Can't wait. :3
It was a little weird being told who the main characters were again like we had memory lost or something, but apart from that I have no complaints. Looking forward to the next episode :excited:
Yeah, it was kind of silly, but that's exactly how Act 4 of the manga opened as well.Quote:

Can someone explain to me why Tuxedo Mask wheres that fruity little tuxedo get up when he's not fighting?
Because he's at a formal event wtf
Because every girl's crazy for a sharp dressed man.
I was very happy with the quality of this episode. I know they're working on a really tight budget, but I have no complaints about this one. And I'm really excited for the Four Kings plot expansion.
I didn't mean this episode. The first two show him walking around the streets in a tuxedo with a medal pinned to it.Quote:

This isn't one of those things you're supposed to think about.
But he isn't transformed! He's just walking around wearing a tux like it's jeans and a t-shirt.
I've been wondering the same thing lol.
Dress code at work?
It's always dapper day in Tuxedo Mask town.
He likes wearing tuxedos
Can't wait to see Jupiter's episode, she's one of my favorites! :D
Yeah they skipped a week what gives?
I was ready for muh Labor Day Sailor Jupiter.
jupiter's episode was today

she's wondering how all of you lost your way so badly
I'm officially a Sailor Jupiter fan now.
Best episode so far IMO.
Agreed, it was the best episode so far. The quality of the animation seems to have reached a consistency and seems to actually be getting better with each episode. Also YAY MORE MANGA ATTACKS!
Can't wait for Venus to show.
Why weren't you before?!Quote:

She never really stood out to me all that much in the old anime. I never disliked her, I was just indifferent for the most part. I feel like I got more of her background in this one episode than I have most of the old anime run. It didn't help that she didn't get nearly as many solo episodes as some of the other Senshi did. Usually they lumped her with Minako.Quote:

I liked this episode a lot as well. Kind of surprised that Usagi already has the scepter wand thingy, but then again... It -is- moving a helluva lot faster, so.
Best episode yet! Jupiter is my second favorite, so it was great to see her more as her manga-self, which is superior to the 90s anime version.
Yeah. I like how this version focuses on her past relationship and hangup with her old crush. The 90s anime pretty much reduced it to a a running gag for comic relief...which was fine, but this is better.Quote:
