Unless we're not even thinking of the same type of shows here, anyway. But yeah, one of the main things I'm really hoping for in this show, is that all the lead characters including Mamoru get a decent amount of focus and development. Actually though, for what I said about the manga treating him better earlier, it's occurred to me that, with the exception of Mamoru, the anime has better characterization for damn near everyone. So I suppose if I were to just quickly sum up my hopes for this series... Give us a plot that's constantly developing and moving forward, like the manga has, coupled with the more in-depth character-development present in the anime. Because really, I'm halfway through the manga now and I'm getting a bit tired of all the completely nondescript antagonists who just show up and get killed off before they even get a chance to leave an impression.

Well, personally I don't consider the 'perfect girlfriend' type as being distinct compared to characters with a purpose other than being the trophy, as they're all pretty much interchangeable, with minor differences. Compared to some of those, Mamoru probably isn't all that bad- and if we're talking main characters, neither is Usagi. The thing I like about Sailor Moon is, since the cast is so diverse and it actually has a story to tell, it can really do without blank sheet wish fulfilment characters. So while Mamoru is certainly the blandest out of the bunch, he isn't as bad as some others out there.. IMO at least

One f the big questions for me is which company here in the U.S. will have exclusive dubbing & publishing rights, and if the potential dubb would air on Toonami. That would be a huge trip of nostalgia for me. |

I'm glad Sailor Moon's back.
I think it's safe to say now that I secretly watched it back in the day. My favorite girls have always been Minako, Rei, and Makoto (Secret Fave: Setsuna) This show influenced some of my major preferences in anime. Minako is the headstrong (slightly goofy), heroic shonen girl that's all about justice. (The OG Sailor) Rei is part of the reason I have a weakness to Tall, Dark, Bishoujos. (Look at my Avatar, Sig, and Profile Pic) Makoto brings dat ponytail game to the mainstream. Setsuna is the cool beauty/onee-sama. Spoiler for space:

Momoiro Clover Z singing Moonlight Densetsu live, I hear that this is going to be the opening for Crystal...
I find it funny because the same thing happened to Saint Seiya's original opening, Pegasus Fantasy, when Omega started 2 years ago. |

The next musical was confirmed in production by the official twitter. This time it's the Black Moon arc, which is nice that they acknowledge anything past Moon Kingdom.

I used google translator to see what the new info was about, and in the wonky translation it said "the production secret story of new anime to be worried about". Any idea what that's about? Or is it just the translator being cooky (as usual)?

That's taking off basically all that made Sailormoon a reference. |

You've been saying that for months now.... If you mean the voice cast, I agree. There could be cameos (Star Trek Style) but largely, I'd prefer a fresh cast. Pretty sure that's what we're getting too.
If you mean the characters themselves, then that would be bizarre

I've said I wanted a completely different story from both the manga and the anime, and sadly that's not going to happen anyway.
As for the cast, while it's true most of them are still active (I think only a couple of them retired, IIRC), they're past their prime. Also it would help to remove any mental image linked to the original series, since they stressed it's something different from the old anime. |
