Oh Happy Day: New Sailor Moon Anime for 2013



This just in: At a Sailor Moon 20th anniversary talk event at Nicofare in Japan (Nico live link here), series creator Naoko Takeuchi announced that the Soldier of Love herself would be gracing the TV screens of Japanese anime fans in 2013 via a new, remade anime series. Momoiro Clover Z (Moretsu Pirates) will preform the opening theme song to the new series.

Although the geek idol group is currently in France for Japan Expo 2012, the organisers of the Sailor Moon talk event had the Momoiro Clover Z girls perform the opening theme – as well as their other hit songs – and streamed it over to the Japanese audience gathered at Nicofare.

The new anime series, simply titled “美少女戦士セーラームーン” (Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon) is currently slated for the Summer 2013 TV anime season.</p>

Originally serialised from 1992 to 1997 in Kodansha’s Nakayoshi manga magazine, Sailor Moon was a hit – in particular with the teenage girls demographic – and has since been adapted into various anime series, video games, and even live-action musicals and a TV drama.



Edit: The tweet is suspect after talking to my friend. It might still be targeted to kids, but something that even older fans can enjoy.

Only good dub song!
chibi_hime 6th-Jul-2012 02:03 pm (UTC)
That one is my FAV. But I like a lot of the other songs too. Especially the one Mars sings for that talent contest.

I like the Japanese version better purely for the arrangemnt. /band geek.

The SM discography was my JAM back in the day. Even now I bust out Moonlight Densetsu at karaoke and just let loose.

When my friends start to side eye me for all the JE songs at karaoke, I bust out sailor moon to redeem myself a bit.

Now I have regrets not buying the CD box set when I had the chance...
exdream1999 6th-Jul-2012 02:16 pm (UTC)
I'm usually doing karaoke with my much older co-workers, so, they find me singing Moonlight Densetsu really fucking cute. (Then I break out the SMAP and english version of J-pop songs to redeem myself.)




SERAMYU

They need to bring the musical back! If Prince of Tennis is still running... Just saying.
exdream1999 6th-Jul-2012 02:29 pm (UTC)
Yes, so then I can finally go see it!



OMG, I can't believe it, you never ever see Sailor Star performed!

(Somehow, Shokotan needs to do a voice in the new anime.)
chibi_hime 6th-Jul-2012 02:33 pm (UTC)
OMG!! Shokotan would explode from fangirling.

I love her so much! She single-handedly made it cool to like sailor moon. My host family used to make fun of me, now they think I'm some kind of hipster.
exdream1999 6th-Jul-2012 02:39 pm (UTC)
SHE WOULD.

I just feel old, all my students were like, new borns when SM come out, so they just don't get it. They make fun of my contempt for PreCure. (Except for SmilePreCure because it's basically a magical girl comedy and it's fucking hilarious.)
chibi_hime 6th-Jul-2012 02:48 pm (UTC)
When they used to tell me, "Sailor Moon? Are you talking about PreCure?"

I wanted to scream "You shut your whore mouth. YOU KNOW NOTHING!!"

But then I remember that they are like 4/5 years old.
exdream1999 6th-Jul-2012 02:52 pm (UTC)
I KNOW!!

(Well, I'm hanging out with mostly HS, but same thing.)

My 8 year private student had at least seen PGSM, so, she's cool.
chibi_hime 6th-Jul-2012 02:55 pm (UTC)
I taught 6 month olds to high school.

It was actually one of my HS students who tweeted me the news.
She was like I never saw it. She did read the manga though, so we cool.
exdream1999 6th-Jul-2012 03:06 pm (UTC)
Ahhh, yeah, that's always...fun.


Aww, it's sweet that she thought of you when she heard the news!

I just stumbled upon it on Tumblr and then proceed to lay down on my sofa and sob.
chibi_hime 6th-Jul-2012 03:13 pm (UTC)
I got chills!! And then I let all my feelings out on Facebook.

ALL THESE FEELINGS!!!
exdream1999 6th-Jul-2012 03:18 pm (UTC)
I calmed down and then Skyped my friend and started crying again and then got out my PGSM Luna and Artmis and sat them on my shoulders.


And then cried some more.
chibi_hime 6th-Jul-2012 03:24 pm (UTC)
I feel the need to adopt some cats and name them Luna and Artemis. But... I'm allergic.

I also want to break out my collect and start playing with my old toys...
riringo 6th-Jul-2012 03:55 pm (UTC)
oh my god is there chants??
chant for sailor star song?? xDD
chibi_hime 6th-Jul-2012 04:14 pm (UTC)
I know right!!

But then again, there are chants for everything.
riringo 6th-Jul-2012 04:32 pm (UTC)
hahaha I can't believe it xDD
captxfizz 7th-Jul-2012 02:48 pm (UTC)
MY FAVOURITE SHOKOTAN LIVE PERFORMANCE EVER!
Seriously, I have so many feels for this song, especially with the slow version ;A;
chibi_rei 9th-Jul-2012 12:12 am (UTC)
Holy crap Sera Myu. I followed this so closely in high school. I even bought a couple VHS and programs... learned dances. Oh god I was/am such a dork.
yami_no_hoshi 6th-Jul-2012 02:43 pm (UTC)
YES <3
chibi_hime 6th-Jul-2012 03:22 pm (UTC)
Whelp... Looks like I'm not leaving the house anytime soon.
yami_no_hoshi 7th-Jul-2012 03:20 pm (UTC)
eh, leaving the house is overrated ;)

also I'm super-excited because I realized I'll be able to watch this when it first airs because I'll be living in Japan! whoo-hoo :)
chibi_hime 7th-Jul-2012 08:48 pm (UTC)
Why did I move back to the US from Japan??? WHY????

I'm starting to question my life choices every day. I'm excited for everyone!! Who knows, maybe I'll be back by next year too.
