First Look at the New Sailor Moon

[rider28031]

Gentlemen, the leading lady of anime returns this July:



The new Sailor Moon anime series will be titled Sailor Moon Crystal and, judging by the plot synopsis and visual style, will readapt the original manga. Plot below:

Usagi Tsukino is a second-year middle school girl who is a little clumsy and a crybaby, but she is full of energy. One day, she meets Luna, a black cat with a crescent moon on her forehead, and she transforms into Sailor Moon, a sailor-uniformed pretty guardian of love and justice! As a chosen guardian of justice, Usagi seems to have a mission to find the Illusionary Silver Crystal with the other guardians and to protect the princess.

Meanwhile, the queen of the Dark Kingdom, Queen Beryl, also sends minions to the town where Usagi lives to obtain the Illusionary Silver Crystal, which has immense power. This causes strange events to unfold….

Can Sailor Moon really find the Illusionary Silver Crystal with the other Sailor guardians, and protect the princess…!?

How do you guys feel?

It's supposed to follow the manga a lot more closely, which is probably going to be really cool.

It also means we'll probably get a full treatment scene in the very first episode.

[ARNie]

Wonder if it'll have Sailor Pluto, or rather what she would be known nowadays as Sailor 134-340.

[Bill K.]

If the animation is as well done as this title card, it'll be a lot better to look at than the original.

Some of the promotional material said this wasn't going to be a reboot, but the description here sure sounds like a reboot. Not that I'm complaining. I'll still watch.

[RySenkari]

Neil DeGrasse Tyson is the final boss, obviously.

First look at the character models.
Also they reaffirmed that it's a more accurate remake of the original comic so hopefully the tape gag scene from the first issue makes it in this time.

[Sailornapper]

Me just happy to see new Sailor Moon. Now wonder if Makoto's intro will be the same.

[Aquarionoid]

hopefully the tape gag scene from the first issue makes it in this time.

Wait what?

Also Sailor Mercury will have the same voice actress that did Amy from Gargantia, there is a pun in that somewhere.

[rider28031]

Dat Sailor Mars design . Yep, I'm definitely excited for this one.

Wait what?

In the very first issue/chapter of the manga, there's a scene where a woman (the mother of Sailor Moon's best friend) is shown tied up and tape-gagged while a female villain impersonates her. For some reason they cut it out of the original anime even though they allude to it.
