A new Sailor Moon anime is due to arrive in the summer of 2013, much to the delight of magical girl fanciers the world over.
The new Sailor Moon was announced at a Nico-broadcast event commemorating the 20th anniversary of the franchise.
In the best tradition of zombie franchise milking, the new anime is apparently pitched as a new version of the original shoujo manga (whether it deserves to be called a “reboot” is not clear), though seiyuu Mitsuishi Kotono will still be playing Usagi.
What format and length the show will be is not clear, but it will apparently be targeting a more mature audience than the original, and be made available to international fans in at the same time as well (as evidenced by the announcement in part being made at the Japan Expo 2012 in France, a Sailor Moon heartland).
The announcement song and dance, in Japanese and an obscure European language:
Online there is growing anticipation of the coming 2013 showdown between Sailor Moon and Precure, both of which now share not dissimilar audiences of little girls and creepy otaku…

YAY! AMI MIZUNO!
ditto. she was my 1st wiafu even before the term was ever thought up.
The news travel very fast. It was announced in the afternoon. I was there when we were informed of this...
Cool!!!
Mizuno Ai, my first anime crush. Nostalgia just hit me like a ton of bricks.
It's a shame that humans grow old and anime characters don't. She used to be older than me!
As long as your heart is young…
Highly unlikely unless he had a heart transplant.
I hope this is more like the manga. I also hope that this time they keep Naoko Takeuchi happy instead of making her mad at the changes. I've been a long time fan of Sailor Moon, and I still love it.
Don't be so grumpy, Artefact. You are going to love it.
"an obscure European language"
Fucking trolls, but yeah, in your ass America: The new sailor moon has been announced in a French convention, not in your fucking Anime expo.
That's cool because no one cares about France.
If nobody cared of what happens in France, then there wouldn't be any news of this and you wouldn't have trolled...
pwned!
:-)
@06:46 That's funny, because I always thought Anime was more popular in France, not to mention more widely accepted over there than in the states.
Everyone cares about France.
And by France, we mean Charlotte Dunois.
no one gives a fuck where it was announced. as long as we get out scouts back.
and by saying that you just attracted an army of troll and a rain of racist and other comment .
good job ? lol
i could give a dead rats ass about haters....i'm just looking forward to moon rise...
Wise words. If I care about negative ratings then I wouldn't speak my mind. It's not like bad rating ever hurt someone.
57% of the world speaks English, that includes ESL. Compared to English, your language IS obscure. U MAD BRO?
Considering that more than 1/3 of worldwide population are chinese, that would mean that chinese (madarin) is second more talked language in the world...
You see number don't mean shit!
lol, 1/3 ahahahah.... Indians are the other 1/3 also then? WTF are u retarded.
there's only 1.4 billion Chinese in the world, there's 7.2 billion people, that's 1/6 at most get your shit right.
>says 1/3, entirely misses the point
herp derp
not all chinese are fluent in standard mandarin, not to mention how many different dialects there are
So you're actually saying that inglish is the most talked languages because of the Indians that speak it?
Bigall is right, numbers don't mean shit.
It's a joke. You know, haha?
Futurama predicted French would become an unknown dead language by the year 3000. I'm holding out hope for that.
Eat a dick you cunt.
Of course, it was either France, Italy or Spain. The countries where Sailor Moon was diffused when it was still new.
Countries where it's still very popular.
Most of US prolly don't know/care about it.
And your flaming nationalist comment stink ass. You should just refrain from expressing yourself in the name of your country if you don't want to shame it, baltringue !
you tell them gosupermario!
I really hope they get the character design correct, I think this is going to be the biggest downfall. I do not want early 90's bishoujo style, nor Precure crap kid style.
I'd be comfortable if Silver Link/Shaft or PA Works took on this as I think they are the only ones who can deliver character design, atmosphere, artistic style and emotion.
Do NOT want BSSM manga adaptation. It's awful.
Would be great to see some alternative settings like used in live action though.
oh god no!...please no..i just know it may be degradated to some ecchi bullshit like everything nowdays
this is why i stopped watching anime...
Why are you even on this site if you stopped watching anime and don't like ecchi bullshit..........
cause sometimes it posts non retarded news
problem?
"cause sometimes it posts non retarded news"
...wat
No it doesn't, for non retarded new go to CNN or BBC, fag.
No, it most definitely doesn't.
Go to CNN or BBC if you want real news
go fuck yourself if you have a problem
i'm gonna visit whatever site i want :))
if you don't watch anime why do you care??
And the original was totally innocent, right?
You have no idea how often I fapped to Sailor Moon back then...
not my problem you're a perverted fuck that faps to a child oriented anime
yes it was totally innocent compared to anime nowdays
are you fucking blind from all the fapping?
Those ugly ass fucking outfits and wigs!!!
^ Insecure ugly Cosplayer detected!
^ stupid virgin fag detected!
^ Insecure bitch detected!
Those girls aren't ugly at all!
I'd hit all of them.
They didn't say the girls were ugly, they were saying the costumes were ugly. And I agree! The girls themselves are adorable though :3
I'm cum inside all of them and I don't give a fuck what they're wearing.
those outfits make the girls look fat, they must have censored it for France cause the ones used in Live were more revealing.
Frigging Hill Shock!!!
