And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
Mars was the dopest, but Jupiter was her fiercest competition. Both had the best personalities and attacks.
I've never in my life heard anyone say Venus was their favorite. Like, ever.

Maybe in the cartoon, but you don't fuck with comic Mamoru and his Tuxedo La Smoking Bomber.
Venus is actually my second favourite after Jupiter. I love Sailor V.

Against all odds I'm excited for this. I was a kid when this came out and I loved it enough that I have memories of drawing a sailor scout in front of the TV ! But soon enough weed, rap music, porn and FFVII stole my attention. I never got far in the series. But I think there's a latent Sailor fan within me

because venus was just a shitty sailor moon knockoff.

I see/hear it all the time.
Actually, Sailor Venus existed in her own manga (Codename: Sailor V) before Sailor Moon was even an idea in Naoko Takeuchi's mind.

And Amuro. Which just kinda supports the dork thing really~
They should fight.
The battle will go on to the end of time, neither fighter will be allowed to win.

English is their de-facto language for products, but it's not their native tongue.
Imagine if Japanese was important to naming worldwide products, we'd be like "Samurai Gaiden Monogatari Densetsu Mugen!" because what do those words really mean to us?
No, no, no, no!

Someone knows what's up. All of the outer scouts were so much cooler.Everyone knows Pluto was the best anyways. Key is GOAT.
They are definitely sexualized to some extent. Compare their designs to something like Heartcatch Precure.

Everything I wanted from a reboot. Love they mimicked her style. I have personally never been able to master it :/

This reminds me.
IF they're gonna set the series in 2014 and not the 90s like in the manga, how are they going to deal with Pluto not being a planet anymore ?

It's a dwarf planet, close enough.
Dear god, that's hideous. More like Sailor Cardcaptor Sakura. :x
Jupiter had the biggest boobs, therefore she always wins:

I can't @ this CLAMP insult. Come to think of it, I'd love to see CLAMP doing character design for this. It'd be glorious:
EDIT: waait, why is CC with Suzaku? I thought for a sec it's Lelouch.

Fair point.
Anyway, I have no interest in this, I just couldn't help but comment on the strange name!
As you were, sorry to interrupt.
attached to her back. embedded, more like.

Screw character designs, I want them to write it. A misanthropic and meta/postmodern Sailor Moon series would be so good.

But then many characters will die left and right halfway through the season. I'm not sure Sailor Moon fandom will take that laying down.

Doesn't that happen anyway?
I guess that last time I really looked up Sailor Moon stuff was before it aired on Cartoon Network it was like on channel 3?, but I'm pretty sure the good guys die multiple times and are just brought back by Moon at the end of each arc(I think I was looking up anime vs manga differences).
Hmm, thinking of it I don't think I've ever saw all of Sailor Moon.
On channel 3 I saw the Beryl and Doom Tree and the Rubeus part of the Dark Moon.
Then I'd guess I've seen up to Saturn appearing on Cartoon Network and just stopped caring.
Man, it took a strangely long time for anime to come over back then.
Like during the begining parts of the Frieza Saga in DBZ on Cartoon Network I already knew about Super Saiyan 4.
When Pluto first appeared here in the US you could find out about Saturn and other non-this solor system Sailors.
That was one of the main reasons I loved the old cartoons so much. It blew my mind back then that they would let little girls die (especially main characters), still does. Even for someone who grew up watching all that depressing shit like Perrine and Niklaas.

I think the goal of this version, is to remain as true to the original manga as possible. There were a fair number of changes in the original anime that Naoko was not happy about. If this show gets up to the Stars arc, we might actually get a pretty faithful adaption of the manga.
I loved Sailor Moon as a kid.
We would get in fights, between friends, over who should get whatever Sailor. (i guess that tells me whether or not there was some sexualization in the design, lol).
I liked the arc where they would make monsters out of everyday objects though, i always liked that idea as a kid.
Anyway, i really wouldn't be able to go through a Sailor Moon anime today, though.
Which stands true for most cartoons and anime that i watched as a kid and teenager, really.
But the design looks cool.

No, they're not the same artist.
So this is finally happening!? Nice.
This a very good question and should make for an interesting change when they get to this part of the story. That is unless they just outright ignore the change in Pluto's status but I doubt they would. Pluto being one of my favorites makes me really interested in how they're going to handle this if they have to.

The one thing I hate about first anime was how dumb they make Sailormoon. The anime staffs just rolled with it, thinking it's funnier that way, but I hated it. She was competent fighter for like one episode.
Sailor Pluto, Guardian of the Dwarf Planets, done. Would explain her overpowered status.

It's not really a big deal. The manga has the asteroid senshi.
Looks closer to the manga !
Which means that it will be .... ugly and awesome
90% of the animes have 15 year old protagonists =P
Even bloody things like Saint Seiya

they are highschoolers in K-on you know.
Kyioani had been giving their characters a major hip/butt upgrade in recent shows. Chuu 2 for example, had some major action going on in those areas.
I-it's not like I lo-look at that stuff ya know!
Do you guys even read articles, cause lol ANN:
Might at least quote a fellow GAFer as a source, if not the true heroes:
