This is what happens when the K-On thread keeps their cage unlocked.

Sailor Moon is set apart from other shows because of its art. By making it more in line with K-On, it would lose the magic that made it so great. In other words, it would be like every other anime out there.

By the end of the series I think they're 18, but yeah, this is some creep-ass shit, and I like K-On quite a bit.

What? Am I not allowed to comment on artstyle decisions? The very moment I notice that a character has curves I am a pedo because it's not your age group?

"Like" it's a den of perverts?
At least you got to watch it while you were a kid when it was free of stigma. I didn't, and now I don't think i'll be able to.

You do know that "dem <body parts>" is basically slang for "I fap to this," right?

Hey, man, I'm on your side of really liking the K-On artstyle, but, you know, you're sounding a little bit creepy.

No, you're a pedo* because you're sexualising underage girls.
*Or whatever the fuck term people are trying to get others to use.

Anyway I'm pretty excited for the new series. The staff seems kind of..shonen leaning, but as long as it's an adaptation of the comic with better fighting scenes that shouldn't matter too much.

Man this thread took a sad turn fast.
I was so fucking excited about talking about new Sailor Moon stuff too. =/
Might have to go to MM's thread.

I always felt like SM was a shonen in shojo clothing (eagerly anticipating getting a hasty reply educating me on the actual differences but whatevs.) The show was basically about fighting bad guys, getting powerups, and beating the big bad at the end of each arc. Not much melee combat but the powers were pretty damn fly, Jupiter Thunder Dragon was boss as hell.

The green girl, i always liked her

Sailor Moon never felt like Shojo to me either, it has too many of the basic shounen trappings to really qualify. I think it's mainly because it's from a time when just because something starred a girl that meant it was for girls and not boys.

I liked Mercury but she was useless. All she did was bring fog.

Mars is the best sailor scout, followed by Jupiter.
Well, it definitely was a battle manga. I know you're anticipating it, but Shounen and Shoujo are referring more to the demographic, then a specific genre. =P
I really like how the art style resembles the manga this time. High hopes for a good production.

Yeah I can see where you're coming from. It's just a more action oriented show targeted at girls, which is what I hope it stays as, rather than targeting the the more "adult" fanbase that wants it to be generic anime with more fanservice and the like. But no one wants that, I'm sure.
lol

Doubtful. SM is a classic anime, people will watch for A) nostalgia and B) to see how the remake compares to the original
This.
If the anime actually ends up looking like that image then that's damn awesome. It's pretty faithful to the manga, and one of the reasons Sailor Moon has persevered like it has is because of its beautiful art.

Mars was always my favorite because she struck the fiercest pose in her transformation sequence.

Isn't this only going to cover the Dark Kingdom arc? If so then no Uranus and therefore no World Shaking.
I hope this is a seasonal thing and they remake an arc a year, but I guess it depends on its popularity.

Not only that, but she was fierce and didn't take shit from anyone.

Despite the dumb name this might be my favorite attack actually, love how the animation conveys so much power in this attack and how it goes through the floor and comes out.

This confirmed my fears.
Sailor Moon was a product on the 90's (both the anime and the manga) I a not a huge fan but I know the basics and I would have loved to see and entirely different take on the mythos but I later learned it was a direct adaptation of the manga which is disappointing to me. I would have at least wanted to see a different artstyle but that seems to be not happening.
I wonder if they would modernize things don't exist anymore like cassette tapes and old CRT monitors and whatnot.

And yet the only one who got her own special!

Umm it looks totally different from the original anime... And you're basing all that on one promo image? You're really expecting it to be a shot for shot remake...?

Yeah, I was trying to get that across in my last post. They needed to update this more for a modern audience. The creator probably has told the new anime staff they can't though.
But still, it's one image.
People liking Mars.
Don't you dare talk shit on Rei Hino, she was freaking amazing. Her ability to predict and protect Usagi in the Anime/Movies was second to none.
Incredibly unlikely.
Almost every version of Sailor Moon since the Manga has had it's own unique spin and flavor, whether were talking Anime, Musicals, or Live Action.

How can you stand to watch Sailor Moon, which has younger characters and is even more sexualized?

I never got the Mars love, she seemed like such a generic anime design to me.

Team Jupiter reporting in.
I was kinda "but why?" when this was first announced but I'm actually keen for it now.
Still need to get the second half of the manga and watch PGSM.
