Re: Sailor Moon Crystal!

[(Anonymous)]

The target audience has been pretty explicitly stated to be 'women who watched the first anime when they were children' by several people associated with the project. Toei's spent the past two years marketing SM merch to adults with disposable income to spend on anime crap.

Yep, this. The sheer amount of merch peddling there's been in the months leading up to this has me vaguely nauseated about the whole thing. Sailor Moon's become just another half-hour commercial like so many other cartoons.

Da

How is it nauseating exactly? There's always been a Sailor Moon merchandizing industry. Every since the 1990s.

Not nearly to the same extent, and not nearly as aggressively marketed. Every popular franchise has its merch, of course, but more as an aside than downright cramming it down your throat. As an example, it's the difference between, say, Gravity Falls and Monster High. Both are reasonably popular cartoons, but while Gravity Falls has some merch you can look into if you feel like it, Monster High is primarily a vehicle for its merch. I feel like that's what's happened to Sailor Moon.

I get what you mean. Thinking about it, they cared more about pushing merch for the twentieth anniversary than they seemed to care about getting the new anime made.
