This will be all new animation, voice acting, and will have significant changes to the plot from the first anime in places.
If it's going to be like the manga I'll end up watching if it has next to no filler as in the 'bad guy every episode' routine, just one central enemy more or less for each arc. I can't finish the manga because the presentation is so bad, the cover art is awesome though. Pluto is the best.
On topic of the new presentation I like it a lot, especially if they do end up with some shadow effect like that in the image all the time to make the characters seem less flat, though I have my doubts.

This..this is a joke, right? It feels like one, I mean, the last thing we need is more anime that looks like K-On
EDIT: Reading through the thread, apparently not. Wow. That was interesting.

Re: Sailor Moon characters being sexualized: while I haven't watched the show in an eternity, I can't recall there being that much outside of the outfits. Like yeah the thigh skirts and boots are kind of ridiculous, but I don't recall the camera routinely framing the characters in sexualized ways. I don't recall "these characters are sexy" being a theme basically
Yes, it is. It is quite different compared to the anime. Hell, even though the characters are the same, their personalities are different. For example, Minako is like a leader for the inner senshis.
It was quite groundbreaking when it came out, people jumping may wonder what the fuss is all about imo.

I'm sure they're canonically of age.

Looks far better than I would have guessed in this day and age. Let's see how it looks in animation.
Magical Girl (Mahō-shōjo) kind of manga. There's some comedy, some romance and some action.

The shit that was released outside of Japan was carefully chosen. Now that you are able to see everything that Japan produces it suddenly sucks. Let's see what the glorious year 1995 (Year of Ghost in the Shell and Evangelion) also brought into the world:
Galaxy Fraulein Yuna:
Hyper Dolls:
Idol Project
El Hazard:
But please continue bitching about K-On being pedo shit that is killing the industry.
Chill. I made the same argument you make plenty of time. I brought up Sailormoon for the argument. I've my share of watching obscure animes in the 90s.

lol, pedo shit. They're in their late teens and the guy likes their wide hips. Yeah, those are real signs of pedophilia right there...
I'm not sure since I never saw the entire Sailor Moon saga. Just bits and pieces of the TV episodes and few of the movies. But if what I bolded is true then CLAMP is the opposite of it. They rarely, if ever resurrect dead characters. I'm still traumatized from the various version of "X" where bad things keep happening to the characters and the ending(s) were either horrifyingly cruel or at best, downright sad.
El Hazard:
El Hazard was decent, the first OVA anyway.

You want to call Monster Monpiece pedo, that's totally fine, but come on. K-on isn't even close to pedo. There's like no sexualization and the characters are in their late teens. It's more comparable to something like My Little Pony than other perverted stuff that comes out of Japan. That's probably why it's so damn boring.
Sailor Moon on the other hand has implied underage sex and other stuff to satiate this den of perverts.
Haha, I wasn't in the US, did Evangelists make any fuss over Sailormoon when it came out in the States? Or did it get butchered enough to go unnoticed. The original manga and anime wasn't exactly that subtle over same-sex and underage romance there.

Super butchered. Oddly enough, they kept all the romantic implications between Uranus and Neptune but made them cousins.

And it would end abruptly and fans would have to wait in vain for any kind of resolution.
still salty over X/1999
Anyway, Mars was the hottest. No doubt about that.

K-on panders specifically to moe feelings. They are actually drawn to look like weirdly blossoming pre-pubescent girls, which is why all the pedo alarms are ringing. And not only that, they are "supposed" to be in highschool but act like babies. It's weird. lol
It's also weird that Sailormoon on the other hand makes 8 graders look all really tall and mature, but in general, in the old anime, they looked cute and acted their age (not a lot of huggy giggly cutesy stuff like you see in k-on or similar animes of these times).
They are both sexualized, but in different pathways, I think. K-on in the more "defile/defend my innocence" type of way, and sailormoon being more in a "hot and aggressive" way.
But I don't really like the style the new series is taking. :l The manga was kind of really spotty in quality and anatomy, and I hope they don't try to copy the source material TOO hard in that area. Also I believe most of the characters other than Usagi herself were underdeveloped in the manga, so I hope they spend more time developing and focusing on the other scouts.

Oh it's just a remake? Bah. Lemme know when they reach Sailor Stars.
Creepy.
Is the Moon a planet?
I think I've found my favorite gif for the day.
LOL Zac.

I don't know, I'd compare it more to the chibi style than anything else, which isn't inherently sexual. That's just me though.
I've heard Japanese high schoolers from a few teachers over there that they actually are damn huggy and (to a lesser extent) giggly, even the boys. Might not have been that way during Sailormoon's time though.
That sounds far more interesting than what I watched. I think that's more a fan interpretation, but I of course have no idea what the creator's intent was.
