SSO used a Pegasus Fantasy remix and it was pretty cool.

Yay! My favorite manga-ka, Tanemura Arina did a Sailormoon fanart! She's an old school fan...I bet she's excited for this new series....
Spoiler for Her Usagi is so cute!:
I like hers more than Naoko's Usagi. Sorry Naoko-sensei! I want the book so bad.....but I already spent too much money this month...dammit! DX

In any case, I don't think that there's much danger of the new Sailor Moon being anything like the bishoujo anime that are popular nowadays.

Can't really say for Japan (I hadn't really a chance to poll the mean interest back then) but when I had the luck to watch the original in 1992 before it was aired in my country I remember people were slamming it even before seeing it. When it was actually aired it became even worse. I recall one article that basically said that SM was everything wrong with Japanese animation at that time.

Of course, a lot of this comes from today's fans mostly coming into the medium during the Sailor Moon era and later.

Probably only liked Fist of the North Star and testosterone-pumped crap like that...

For me it lacks the charm that Sailor Moon had, I find the repeating tropes and themes throughout the seasons to be more tiresome than interesting... and every season having a different cast is something I've never enjoyed, it also leaves less time for character development and the characters become rather bland for me. It's like they're a collection of traits rather than actual characters to me and they're always the same... it's like instead of an actual new character you just get a combination of Cure White and Cure Lemonade, except she's good at sewing and has a new design or something and she's thrown into the same situation where she has to save the fairies of rainbowland by fighting random bad guys every week with no real interesting overarching storyline that adds any development that we haven't already seen with previous Cures over and over again. I do plan on watching Doki Doki Precure but only because I like the designs, I'm not really planning on enjoying the series itself but I'm willing to give it a shot. I know PreCure doesn't pan to my sense of humor like Sailor Moon does. Not saying that Sailor Moon is perfect, I'm just saying that it's something I genuinely enjoy while Pretty Cure is more so something I just try to get through to see the pretty colors... which is weird since that's never a good reason to watch anything. With Madoka... it was okay. Not an instant favorite of mine or anything but it was fine. I mean, I know it's not a typical magical girl anime so I'm not comparing it to Sailor Moon or anything. Once again something I don't really understand the hype for despite the fact that I have a Madoka avatar and signature. I can easily say that Sailor Moon is the only real magical girl anime that I've genuinely enjoyed growing up and even now and can happily rewatch. I haven't really been able to get into CardCaptor Sakura or Pretty Cure much... and I've tried to watch other magical girl anime and just couldn't do it. I remember trying to watch Tokyo Mew Mew and it wasn't happening. ^^; I'm hoping that whatever the original series had that kept me hooked (humor more than anything I think) won't change for the new Sailor Moon anime. If they change it too much I might find myself trying to finish it just because it's Sailor Moon rather than watching it because I'm enjoying it.

The whole concept crashed and burnt with Cutey Honey F and it took quite a while to get "good" for Toei again, with Precure. I remember I couldn't even force myself to watch SuperS (minus episode 151, the one with Ami) or Sailor Stars (even the first arc) back then. The excessive cuts made to Sailor Stars when it aired on TV here surely helped my disappointment though. |

Rereading the announcement I do feel like asking this again, here's what the news said: Quote:
Not that I have anything against Toei but I just find it interesting that everyone finds it a given they'll be producing this when there's been no announcement they will.

I don't get what you mean by the second part. I don't understand how one can form an opinion on something that hasn't even been shown yet... but I can easily say that for me, it wouldn't be hard for Doki Doki to surpass Smile and Heartcatch. I like the designs of the Madoka characters better than some other designs I've seen. It wasn't as if that put me off so much that I wanted to stop watching it like with Heartcatch and Smile...
