I've tried every single PreCure series and non of it clicked with me, even when I could see why others thought they were great (Heartcatch). I think there is something about the formula that just doesn't work for me.

I don't agree with Stars. It felt they were trying new directions without a clear goal. Not to mention I remember an interview with Takeuchi in which (in a very polite way) was very disappointed with the anime version of the Starlights. Quote:
IIRC Toei wasn't in "good" shape (relatively speaking) a few years after SM ended. I'm not sure if Cutey Honey F ended up profitable or not, but image-wise, it backfired in a way they didn't predict at all (again, an interview with Toei I managed to read back then mentions it). Quote:

I don't think that Takeuchi has ever had the final say for any version of Sailor Moon other than the manga. I'm not too familiar with the inner workings of the live action or the theater versions, but she certainly didn't have much influence in the anime.

I wouldn't call the finale "best". Like the rest of Stars, it really dragged on and it was "Usagi single handedly saves everyone" again. It happened in almost all the series before, I would have liked another approach. Quote:

I would.
I loved the hell out of Stars. It will always be my favorite season! That finale was amazing~ *.* It was everything you could expect a finale to be....and it was a lot better than the manga one....which was really.....quite odd. >_> (I'm talking about what happened with Galaxia, of course. Not the wedding. )

I don't really rewatch Sailor Moon all that often, but if I do, it's probably the final episodes of Stars.

........I still have VKLL's fansub on VHS!! o_o TWO copies. I'd take them out during slumber parties in high school. Imagine, a bunch of 15-year-old girls in pajamas staying up to 6 a.m. watching Usagi, Chibi Chibi and the Starlights fight Galaxia. Glorious times, those were! How I miss them....

Of course if Toei simply wants to milk the franchise some more for the purpose of merchandise sales then maybe it will have 4+ cours. I just don't honestly think the monster-of-the-week format of the original would work now. And personally, while I would consider myself a Sailor Moon fan, my interest nearly withered on the vine when I watched the live-action reinterpretation. There were certain elements of that version that I enjoyed, but the super sentai live-action style didn't work for me at all. I dearly hope that this new adaptation will wash away the somewhat bitter taste that left in my mouth

Brand-new kick-ass theme song, cheesy Tuxedo Kamen wasn't around, Usagi showed maturity, all the villains were adorable, and cutie-pie Chibi Chibi replaced that obnoxious brat, Chibi-Usa. Things were not more right with the world. Stars is the best season!! Quote:

I'd be really disappointed if they are only remaking the first season's story like with the live action... There's only so many times that I can watch Usagi finding her pals and fighting with Queen Beryl. If only the entire series was done in the tone of the S season (or Stars), it'll be so awesome! More Hotaru screen time would be nice too...

Let me just point you to most other shows Toei are still doing to this very day and you'll find that the format works just fine. |

It is possible that the new show will be a 2-cour production. But they're going all out to pursue a worldwide release and they announced the production a full year in advance. This suggests that it's going to be more substantial than that. Saint Seiya seems to be the closest model being followed here (which suggests Toei even more).

Although this is just be my wishful thinking, but I would like to hope that this project is going to be aimed at both the existing fan base and potential newcomers. What would appeal to the former wouldn't necessarily appeal to the latter. Just think of how fans latch onto shows in one season and dump them the very next when something new comes along. It may be that the community has always been like this, but of late the attention span (and memory) of anime fans seems to be even shorter than usual. This may just be my perspective so I'm prepared to be wrong Quote:
However, like I said in my response to Daniel Lind, I'm not convinced that Toei will strictly target only that demographic. Given that they are pursuing a world-wide release suggests that they're well aware of their fan base so they must know that a considerable portion of that skews much older. And, as we all know, companies never hesitate to target those who have buying power. I can't imagine that Toei would simply ignore those people. That's why I don't think they'll follow the same exact model as before. I'm not saying that they can't incorporate a whole slew of festive monsters, but I don't think they'll do it the same way as before. This is, after all, a new adaptation for a new era. I, too, would prefer that they skew more along the lines of the S series (or even Stars!). Does anyone have a rough breakdown of how financially successful each season was?

Time has moved on, and the new Sailor Moon is going to be a bit different because of that. I would imagine that Precure and Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon show the kind of directions the show will take.

There will be a new Sailor Moon production in 2013.
At least a few of the original voice actors are involved in some way. Momoiro Clover Z will be doing a cover of Moonlight Densetsu.
