I don't like the "Not a remake of the original anime" title. I get that it's a clear and easy way to convey what it is, but I kinda feel like we should have a little fun with the title. But it's up to MikeMyers.

 

[Hours Left]

Sailor Moon Crystal |OT| No toast.

 

[MikeMyers]

Lets do a poll.

(1) Would you prefer a title that is "fun" or just right to the point?
(2) Pick one out of:
-Moon Prism Power...Make Up!
-It's Moon Revenge
-No Toast!
(3) Pick one out of:
-Biweekly Anime Adaptation of the Original Manga
-Not the same anime. Not the same content
-Not a remake of the original anime

Answer all 3 questions, I'll work it out from there.

I've made my opinion on this known to you on twitter, but I'll say it again here for everyone's benefit. I think that a straightforward, informational title is best. References are fun and all, but it's probable that there are several potential viewers who have either managed to miss the various OT news threads concerning Crystal or, alternately, haven't been following it closely and are still under the impression that it's in production limbo. The thread title is our only tool for generating further awareness on GAF, so it should be used judiciously.

I came up with "Biweekly Anime Adaptation of the Original Manga", which I think encapsulates as much pertinent information about the show as you can probably fit in a title. Perhaps add "New" in front of "Biweekly" or "Begins 7/5" to the end, either/or as title space allows. We can use the whole rest of the OP for nods to existing fans if you have the inclination.

 

[Conan-san]

So the season lists are rolling and and we've hit a small snag.

In as much as Sailor Moon Crystal; ie the show that was supposed to be shown world wide has been region locked by Toei off of CR for the UK.

I really should have seen this coming, I really should.

Is it me, or does Usagi's voice actress feel a bit off there?

That sucks, do you get Hulu?

Hmm, well lets see what everyone else says first. I think if most people don't want to use a "fun" one, we can just use that subtitle on this thread.

Hulu is super region locked.

I haven't done a direct comparison, but I'm pretty sure she's going for a lower pitch.

So she did work on Seto No Hanayome. Yep, can't find fault with this plan.

 

[Ayumi]

I haven't done a direct comparison, but I'm pretty sure she's going for a lower pitch.

It's also many years later, so her voice definitely won't be exactly like it was.

 

[KDash31987]

Maybe...try and find a balance between fun and informative for the title? That is, if it's even possible.

 

[Pluto]

That would be good, a little fun is never wrong, it is Sailor Moon after all.

Just 10 days now, we should start a countdown.

What kind of countdown? Should we do something super special for it? :O

Uhh ... I was thinking about numbers, I'm not very creative.

[Triple Da G.O.D!]

Sailor Moon Crystal |OT| Anal Beads & No Toast

So excited this is a little more than a week away! It'll be fun to do an old dance a new way.

 

[Conan-san]

Can you use a VPN?

The answer is yes but just because I can undo a bad decision doesn't mean the person who made the bad decision, and I assume it's Toei, as with Sailor Moon all shit flows downhill, isn't in dire need of a meeting between fist and teeth.

 

[Syrinx]

Not sure if posted but Crunchyroll has the Sailor Moon S.H. Figuart Zero statue on sale for $73 for members for six more hours. Still too much for me, but hey, it's less.

It was 4400JPY on Hobby Link Japan a few weeks ago. I'll buy them all when they bargain bin even furhter.

It's $73.82 on Amazon.com too but with free shipping.

[MikeMyers]

Just watched Episode 14 of Classic.

Loved seeing Usagi and Mamo-chan fight together! Does that youma remind anyone else of Morbious from the Spider-Man TAS?

Maybe...try and find a balance between fun and informative for the title? That is, if it's even possible.

Hmm, that could work. I'll leave the poll open for tomorrow and see what I decide.

That would be good, a little fun is never wrong, it is Sailor Moon after all.

Just 10 days now, we should start a countdown.

So close, yet so far away.

 

[Ayumi]

It's so weird seeing people referring to Sailor Moon as Classics.. still can't believe we'll be getting a new anime in 10 days.

So what do you guys think regarding a second reboot season? Personally, I believe there will be more than just season 1, given all the effort they put into everything (merc, musicals, etc) for 2 years.

Was kinda hoping for some movies too, but I think we shouldn't hope too high at first.
But I'm almost positive we'll be getting more than season 1.

 

[KDash31987]

It looks like IGN is pretty excited about Sailor Moon Crystal, too.

Only 9 more days!


Oh, and since I posted Jadeite and Nephrite last page, here are Zoicite and Kunzite, by Marco Albiero again:

 

[Ayumi]

Thank you for posting Marco Albiero's new art here!

For those who haven't seen it yet, he uploads his art on his Facebook page:

[Stulaw]

Zoicite actually looks manly.

 

[Ayumi]

July gashapon release! http://gashapon.jp/sailormoon/

Shipping is very cheap form Japan, so if I go for these and get double up, I'd be willing to ship the extra for free to whoever want them, since I only really want one of each.

Which characters are your favorites?

 

[MikeMyers]

So far "Biweekly Anime Reboot of the Original Manga: It's Moon Revenge!" might be most ideal.

I haven't done a direct comparison, but I'm pretty sure she's going for a lower pitch.

Funny thing is, if I didn't know any better, I think I would assume Usagi was the one recast and not Luna.

Which characters are your favorites?

Usagi, Mamoru, and Fisheye. Rei and Minako had some fun episodes too.

 

[MikeMyers]

Nice T-Shirt.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

Get hype.

 

[MikeMyers]

Seems most people want a fun title.

Some recommendations from Hitokage:

"Moon Reboot Power Make Up!"
"Moon Power! Make me into a new adaptation!"
"In the name of the manga, I'll entertain you!"
"Putting the shoujo back in bishoujo senshi"

Thoughts? I like the third one, and am thinking between that or "Biweekly Anime Reboot of the Original Manga: It's Moon Revenge!"

 

[Cheerilee]

"Putting the shoujo back in bishoujo senshi"

I like that one.

 

[KDash31987]

Thoughts?

Anything that doesn't have "Biweekly Anime Reboot of the Original Manga" in the title. That is just too much of a mouthful, if you ask me.

Which characters are your favorites?

I guess...Moon, Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter?

 

[Bladenic]

Which characters are your favorites?

Jupiter and Venus.

 

[SpikedGunner]

I quite like the first one, but the third one isn't bad either.

2,1,4,3.

I think you should keep the reboot part short. Just put in parentheses (manga adaptation, not anime reboot) or something to that effect.

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

Haven't been able to watch any of the newly updated Classic episodes, so I'm a bit behind, and I'm not sure if I want to juggle that with Crystal and trying to finish Kill la Kill. When does Crystal start again?

 

[Ayumi]

When does Crystal start again?

Next Saturday (5th) 7PM JST. I think that if you really can, you should watch the classic first. It's not because I recommend you to watch it first, but just because then you can save Crystal as a big treat for later. :3
I'm not patient to wait with watching Crystal! And I've already seen the classics.

But if you do have time, you can try watching both. They won't be exactly the same anyway.

Yeah, I'll probably wait until Crystal is over.

It's also a good thing that Viz puts the episodes of Classic up on their own site, because I forgot to renew my Hulu Plus subscription.
