so the manga only covers the Beryl Arc?
We won't get any episodes with the outer scouts!?
damnit.

If you meant the new animu, then yeah, it's probably going to be just Beryl.
that blows.
I demand to see my fav scout- Pluto.
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.
I like Kung-Fu.
If they don't do the full series I'm going to cut somebody.
That too.
That is a unique and interesting way of spelling Venus.
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.
--------------------
But what may be the biggest issue of all is that fans really may never see updated versions of the next four arcs. I haven't seen any press release that showed that they had any intention of pushing this remake any further. It's been treated as twentieth-year fanservice and not much more.
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.
I like Kung-Fu.
I go back and forth between absolutely loving it and feeling meh about it frame by frame. "That's amazing! That's meh. That's amazing! That's meh."
This is so glorious!I'm irrationally excited.
new transformationIt's not 41 seconds long anymore.
It's so beautiful. ;-; I just wish there was less computer animation in the new sequence!
Yeah the CGI kinda weirds me out. xD
BUT! SOON!
