Interesting. I was not a fan of Sailor Moon when it was airing (anywhere). I got into it strictly based on the SMA version abridged series. When they got pulled off Youtube the last time I decided to look up the following episodes of Sailor Moon to run the abridged script machine in my head over the upcoming material. However what I was finding was the Japanese versions (not the dubbed versions the parody is based on). And I liked it and watched it up to the Stars episodes (where the source on episodes ran dry). There were things I found annoying, and things I enjoyed...but I kept watching. Now, come 2013...20 years after Sailor Moon came...there have been many Magical Girl shows. There have even been shows that redefined how those shows should be...at least twice...possibly three times already (Sakura, Nanoha, Madoka). But from what I understand, the manga version of Sailor Moon is much more graphically violent than the anime...and could likely hold its own against the others. Will Sailor Moon show the newbies how it is done? (well no...Usagi will be off crying someplace for a bit than (after her friends are down) decide to take matters into her own hands and "collateral damage" the solar system to take out the baddie.) Or will it be the same thing and not quite messure up to the likes of Nanoha and Madoka? (It is sometimes unfortunate I watched the SMA version first as I continually have their references running in my head watching the show. Pretty much any time Tuxedo Mask shows up with his signature "attack/entry" I think of the voiced sound effect, "Rose!".)

Forgive my trolling for a second but ... In b4 Gen Urobuchi is announced as the head writer. Being Sailor Moon is suffering? Someone had to say it |

Chiibi's mind has been blown. O__________O Chiibi cannot wait. I love the old anime series but the character development is so much better in the manga and so are the battles and the darker aspects. A true-to-the-original manga-adapted anime is going to be FAN-F*CKING-TASTIC.

The rest of the Sailor Senshi are excellent. Also a fair number of good-to-great antagonists. Most of the Sailor Moon seasons had good final arcs. The Professor Tomoe season in particular had a fantastic final arc, imo. Actually, Sailor Moon does final arcs much better than Nanoha does (imo), and the best of them are even comparable to Madoka's final few episodes, imo. The key will be keeping viewers interested until you get to the final arcs, which is where Sailor Moon truly shines, imo. Side-note - Any word if Ikuhara is involved with this? He was involved a fair bit with the original Sailor Moon anime, and he recently returned to the anime world to do Penguin Drum. If he's on this Sailor Moon (2013) team then my interest is piqued even higher. The idea of Sailor Moon done to look like Penguin Drum is quite a nice thought to me.

Dude... don't even joke about it because seriously it might actually happen. She's been working on high-profile or super-popular concepts lately like Lupin III, AKB0048 (I hear they are popular in mainstream J-pop culture) and Black Rock Shooter (vocaloids) so the probability is there.

Though if you read Naoko's comments about original manga, she was pretty upset how she couldn't do whatever she wanted with her characters in the manga originally (she planned to make Ami into a cyborg and kill her for example) but then in the anime they went ahead and killed the cast at the end. So... yeah. I wonder how much control Naoko would want over this new production. She is really really protective of the series. |

Of course. The core target is anime fans (Otaku), males around 30 years old.
Still, I think Sailor Moon may try to retain its female audience too, so who knows how the series will end up looking... maybe it'll be like a somewhat more serious Precure.
