First Tales of Xillia gets a USA release and then this announcement?

Holy Crap!!!

When I was doing a photoshoot in Anime Expo 2012 with some Sailor Moon cosplayers I told them that I wished that they would reboot the Sailor Moon anime to follow the manga better. It looks like my dreams has come true. Hallelujah!!!

 

[Angry Grimace]

Togashi clearly talked Takeuchi into this so that he could keep the cash flow rolling after the new HunterXHunter anime runs out of episodes due to him not writing any more chapters so that he could continue to have cash rolling in while not doing any work.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

Can we expect more wind surfing Tuxedo Mask?


and:
Pluto > Jupiter > Neptune > Mercury > Saturn > Venus > Mars > Uranus > Moon

Mars needs to be much higher.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Pretty big news.

I'm cautiously optimistic, but I'll need to know more information about what sort of project this is.

 

[Phonomezer]

At the Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary event today, it was announced that a brand new Sailor Moon anime is in production.

omg ;_;

The idol group Momoiro Clover Z will be performing the theme song for the anime.

OMG ;o;

 

[Big Chungus]

My sister is gonna be thrilled.

Same.

 

[ReiGun]

That theme better just be a cover of "Moonlight Densetsu."

 

[ZeroFate]

Lemme get this straight: we're living in a time where freakin TOONAMI is back from the dead and a new Sailor Moon anime is being developed? Is this real life?

 

[Trojita]

Best Friend with Brooklyn accent or bust.

 

[DR2K]

Can't be worse than Super S. Day fucking 0!

 

[Peru]

The MomoClo Z tune linked in this thread probably isn't the theme, it's just their current single and it'd be weird if that became the theme a year later.

A slightly more detailed Japanese article has shown up: http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/movie/2014017/full/

- This is a new Sailor Moon anime series. It is not a one-off movie special.

- They do not want to disappoint long time fans who have grown up with the franchise and are now adults, because of this the new series will have to feel like an improvement (power up!) over the previous works.

- They have not finalized broadcast plans for the series yet, but they intend on releasing the series worldwide simultaneously.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

The glorious return of my waifu, Sailor Jupiter.

 

[clearacell]

*Does a dance*

Day 1 for me.

[DR2K]

I hope the outer scouts get a lot more screen time. Especially Saturn and Pluto(Waifu).

 

[anaron]

IDGAF, HYPE

 

[Meier]

I had a huge crush on these girls (Sailor Jupiter and Mars) as a teenager. I'll be curious to see how the new designs look.

 

[Wilsongt]

Be still my teenage fanboy heart. Bring it the fuck on. I will watch without shame!

 

[bernardobri]

So is it plausible that this series will get the Dragon Ball Kai treatment, isn't it?

EDIT: Hm, apparently it's not..

Kotono Mitsuishi (Usagi) confirms on her blog that she will be reprising her role in the new Sailor Moon series. She also adds that the enemy this time is not the Dark Kingdom.

Don't mention that LESSOR anime in a BLESSED thread like this. Tainting the holy dynasty that is Sailor Moon by mentioning that anime is a crime.


English: No. It's brand new story. Poor DBZ am cry

 

[Angry Grimace]

So is it plausible that this series will get the Dragon Ball Kai treatment, isn't it?

Sounds more like the Hunter X Hunter treatment.

^^^ brand new? Something tells me that Usagi will still be unable to tell that Tuxedo Mask is Mamoru

who was usagi again?

 

[duckroll]

who was usagi again?

Serena.

 

[Kyon]

who was usagi again?

........ The main character

edit: oh her English name yuck.

 

[Angry Grimace]

who was usagi again?

...Usagi is Sailor Moon

 

[TEJ]

........ The main character

well, you know, her name was serena in the version I watched. so, no need for the snark okay?

 

[Anth0ny]

 

[Angry Grimace]

20 years later and Sailor Mercury will still be useless.

 

[Kyon]

look at my edit lol

 

[Instro]

20 years later and Sailor Mercury will still be useless.

Slander!

 

[ReiGun]

20 years later and Sailor Mercury will still be useless.

You shut your mouth.

I mean, she's no Mars or Jupiter or Pluto, but I refuse to accept Mercury slander.

 

[Kyon]

20 years later and Sailor Mercury will still be useless.

Crying

 

[Morris]

I am so fucking happy right now.

 

[e_i]

20 years later and Sailor Mercury will still be useless.

She's the brains of the group.

Spoiler

Maybe she'll have an iPad this time instead of her pocket computer

 

[krypt0nian]

#steviewonderoverjoyed

 

[Mr_Zombie]

Team Neptune/Uranus ! =3

Yes!

I just hope that the new anime will have less fillers. It's really hard to rewatch the original series because of episodes that simply plays the same scenario over and over again :/

 

[madp]

She's the brains of the group.

Spoiler

I hope it's some kind of video wristwatch thing for the retro charm.

still, lol Mercury.

 

[lordmrw]

Oh and Cosmic Power Make Up is the best transformation sequence and all of you will bow

Hell fucking yes! I just spent the last 10 minutes watching this over and over:

[EulaCapra]

Isn't Mercury the 2nd most popular in Japan after Moon? And yes, she rules.

Also, this news has rocked my world that no amount of exclamation points can convey properly.

 

[arit]

That theme better just be a cover of "Moonlight Densetsu."

Second that.


I wonder if they'll keep the poledancing heart disease attacks.

 

[anaron]

Kween Pluto needs to be given regular status.

So it's probably not a FMA:Brotherhood-style remake?

 

[Zee-Row]

I always had the hots for Sailor Jupiter

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Wrong.

Team Ami for life.

 

[Delio]

20 years later and Sailor Mercury will still be useless.

Oh lawd the STINGS

 

[JetBlackPanda]

fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight.

 

[Mudkips]

This is why Toonami came back.

 

[DrForester]

Mars needs to be much higher.

Tsundere need not apply to the upper half of my list.
