Isn't it? Isn't it!?
I hope they don't stop after the first arc.

Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
This make me sadShe was awesome.
I have become death, bearer of bad news.
And right before this whole SM revival too.
I like Kung-Fu.
ME NEITHER OMG
So there's been a few updates to our new Sailor Moon. So we all know by now that it'll air the first episode on July 5th. We also know that it'll air a new episode every other week for a year, confirmed at 26 episodes.
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.

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.
I guess it also means Zoisite and Kunzite won't be gay this time around.

Not enough Sailor Moon to satisfy my needs.
Although, if they are rereleasing the old stuff...
It's all online. None of this airing on Japanese TV first and then waiting for a company or some scrub to upload the RAW.
A lot less character development for our enemies. I guess that's what you sacrifice for a show that's only 1/8th of the length of the original.
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??
