Sailor Moon Reboot news

[(Anonymous)]

In eight days we will finally get some sort of key visual or something along those lines for the new Sailor Moon anime. http://m.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-03-13/sailor-moon-website-animation-page-opens-a-countdown

For those who don't want to read the ANN link, here's the official website's page with the countdown on it. http://sailormoon-official.com/animation/

I can't fucking wait. I'm so excited and it's hard to believe it really is happening!

Ohhhh, boy. I'm still of a 'I'll believe it when I see it' mindset when it comes to the reboot, but this makes me a little more hopeful that it's actually going to happen and be a thing.

Op here

Well, they've already released staff too. All we need now is visuals and seiyuu announcements to make it a real thing.

Re: Sailor Moon Reboot news

[(Anonymous)]

Did they announce the character designer? Only reason why I would watch this is if Umakoshi is the one in charge of character designs.

Re: Sailor Moon Reboot news

[(Anonymous)]

Yukie Sako is the character designer. Never heard of them and tbh it kibda makes me wary. I know it was a longshot, but I'm still disappointed they didn't get Ikuko Itoh for the designs.

FINALLY

[silvereriena]

Yusssssss Sailor Moon was a huuuuge part of my childhood. I AWAIT THE NEWS

Re: Sailor Moon Reboot news

[tasogare_n_hime]

So excited. I'm looking forward to it more closely following the manga, but I hope it still does its own thing too.

Re: Sailor Moon Reboot news

[(Anonymous)]

I'm worried about following the manga too closely. Because, let's be honest here, the manga had a lot of pacing issues and outside of Usagi hardly anyone had much characterization or development.

Re: Sailor Moon Reboot news

[(Anonymous)]

+1 I like the manga but it lacked a lot. The villains and other senshi got a lot more development in the first anime and to be honest they're what I watched Sailor Moon for.

I want them to follow the overall plot for the manga but it'd be nice if they expanded on what Naoko didn't.

Re: Sailor Moon Reboot news

[(Anonymous)]

I really liked that about the first anime too. It had its issues with characterization as well such as Usagi being much more of a crybaby, but overall I really enjoyed how the characters were fleshed out. Especially the villains like Nephrite and Queen Nehellenia.

I'd love for them to spend more time on wordbuilding this time around as well.

Re: Sailor Moon Reboot news

[(Anonymous)]

Yep, I'd never claim the characterization in the original anime is spot on with the manga, but in some cases they were basically making up a character anyway because Naoko gave them so little to work with (that and the manga was still ongoing back then, so a lot of changes were made in order to keep the production schedule of the anime on track.) I also liked some of the anime changes and can't say which I prefer (Rei is a case where I like both her anime and manga personalities.)

World building would be good, I'd love it if they spent a little more time away from earth like they did in the manga.

Re: Sailor Moon Reboot news

[leikomgwtfbbq]

I always felt the opposite, actually--I always felt the manga gave the main cast more thorough development and characterization.

The early-series villains were a lot more interesting in the anime, though, and I hope they give them a mix of their anime and manga backstories--I liked that they worked for Endymion in the Silver Millennium in the manga, but I liked their personalities and relationships in the anime (and Nephrite and Naru's relationship still gives me the feels even 20 years later).

(I liked Nehellania and Galaxia and their crowds better in the manga, though.)

Re: Sailor Moon Reboot news

[(Anonymous)]

I will admit that in certain cases, the manga did develop the main senshi a bit better than the anime such as Rei and Minako but for the most part they are rather one dimensional in the manga. The manga didn't have enough time to focus on them and develop them much.

Nephrite's death scene still gets to me. That whole parfait bit is just a tearjearker. I think on the whole, the anime developed the villains much better. Can't really think of a villain the manga did better.

Re: Sailor Moon Reboot news

[leikomgwtfbbq]

Actually, you know what villains I hope they keep in the new anime? I really want to see Ail and An back again. They were never in the manga, of course, but they were my favorite Sailor Moon villains as a kid.

Re: Sailor Moon Reboot news

[tasogare_n_hime]

Nephrite and Naru. I still can't watch that without tearing up. Kunzite/Zoicite was my very first m/m ship, and I still ship it.

Re: Sailor Moon Reboot news

[(Anonymous)]

Me too. One of the main problems I have with the manga is that it overemphasizes Usagi's and Mamoru's miracle romance a bit too much. I mean, different strokes for different folks, but it's probably one of my least favorite aspects of the series and I'd rather see more of the other characters.

Re: Sailor Moon Reboot news

[(Anonymous)]

DA. Usagi and Mamoru's romance was always the least interesting part of Sailor Moon to me, I liked them as characters sure, but I didn't really care about their romance at all.

I remember being surprised to learn I had a friend who quit watching the anime after Usagi and Mamoru got together because she said that was the only reason she was watching. I honestly didn't understand because I thought everyone was in it for the senshi, not the romance (I think my exact reaction to her was, "But... but... outer senshi!!!???")

Re: Sailor Moon Reboot news

[(Anonymous)]

Ayrt

I didn't care for their romamce much either and I would have loved for the emphasis on their romance to be toned down a bit. A little of the time devoted to it could have been spent devoted to character development.

Re: Sailor Moon Reboot news

[tasogare_n_hime]

The characterization is one of the reasons I want the new anime to do its own thing. Just having an animated carbon copy would be boring, but did like some of the plot elements, like the Shitennou having once been Endymion's gaurdians.

Re: Sailor Moon Reboot news

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, okay. We're on the same page then. The Shitennou being Mamoru's guardians is from the manga though.

There's an image now!

Official title seems to be Sailor Moon Crystal.

Op here,

Damn, beat me too it. Even if it is only a sideview, I'm loving the art. I'm not too worried about the character designs now!

I know it's only a little but !!! I love it!
