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.

I'm hoping for a much better artwork. Much MUCH better artwork. Coz I really love the manga but can't get into the anime because the artwork of the anime was just so.... far from the manga.

I'm mostly wondering how long it'll be. Just 13 episodes? A full year? I mean, it says it's going to follow the manga, but, does that mean the whole manga, or just the Queen Beryl arc?

13 episodes??from where do you know about it?
exdream1999 6th-Jul-2012 02:50 pm (UTC)
sWe don't know yet! Shows tend to run either 10-13 or just never, ever end. They haven't said at all about how long the new SM is going to be.
chibi_hime 6th-Jul-2012 02:53 pm (UTC)
I think it's safe to say that anime get to have a longer run. I'm predicting 20+ episodes just to test the waters.
exdream1999 6th-Jul-2012 03:13 pm (UTC)
Yes! I really want it to be longer, at least run for a full year and cover the first arc and then it'll be a huge hit and they'll do the rest of the manga. I NEED TO SEE ALL THE SENSHI.

ALL THE SENSHIIIIIIIIIII.

ALSO, I WANT TO SEE SAILORCOSMOS ANIMATED!
chibi_hime 6th-Jul-2012 03:16 pm (UTC)
Yessssssss!!! A full year. I need every single unnecessary monster of the day. And I need them to not screw up the StarS arc.
exdream1999 6th-Jul-2012 03:23 pm (UTC)
And maybe finally there can even be an English versin of the StarS Arc!!

I also want to see 21st Century style monsters of the day! Like, smartphones turned into mosnters or something! XP~
chibi_hime 6th-Jul-2012 03:28 pm (UTC)
So many possibilities!! If this was RL, all their communication things would be made by Apple.

riringo 6th-Jul-2012 03:46 pm (UTC)
If it's me..I won't dream too far..
I just hope the better artwork, the better story with sattiesfied ending and the better fashion -> please burn the green jacket of Mamoru!!
chibi_hime 6th-Jul-2012 03:49 pm (UTC)
I already lit the match... Where's the jacket? Don't forget the black turtleneck.

On most other issues I prefer the manga, too. Though, well, the issue with Stars season is that the manga was honestly kind of offensive for religious reasons... like, Three Lights are God in Hindu religion, so the anime made some changes to be kinder to them... ^^;;
chibi_hime 6th-Jul-2012 10:47 pm (UTC)
I'm not really familiar with Hinduism so I honestly didn't make that connection.

I think most people, myself included, had a big WTF because the Three Lights were physically male but then would transform into women because only females can be senshi. There never was a good reason for that change from the manga.
star_healer 7th-Jul-2012 12:04 am (UTC)
Ah, I think it was confusing for people. But I thought it was better and kinder to them. I know Naoko wanted it to be the case that only females can be senshi, but those three are deities which are not just physically male, but also spiritually male, and probably wouldn't appreciate that very much. They're also not old myths or anything but part of a modern day religion. Like, Seiya = Shiva, who is usually worshiped via a male fertility symbol! :P So, I agreed with the anime letting them have the power to pick their own forms, as that seems much kinder than forcing them to be FTM transgender as they seemed to be in the manga. So I think the idea there was to keep Naoko's insistence about all senshi being female, but also trying give them more power so they could maybe be happy, and have their wives and families, etc. Because, they have soul mates and will be searching for their lovers (who are female and spiritually female). Stars season anime was accurate about what type of girl they'd each be searching for. Like, for example, Yaten is Vishnu/Krishna, he's a (very pretty) life protecting god, representing love and compassion (green is color of the heart chakra), his wife is maha Lakshmi, goddess of gold and beauty, and they're parents of Kama deva, the little love god that shoots things with flower arrows to make them fall in love-- so, he gets a crush on Minako-chan, right? :P So in Stars season anime, I think they were trying to treat them more kindly, in general. <3 :) They also changed the ending as not to show them dying. So, I'm honestly a little worried if they go with the manga version of things, in regards to these three, as I thought the changes in the anime were actually done to try and show them greater respect. I don't know what Naoko was thinking to write what she did, really. ^^;;
dropsofstars 7th-Jul-2012 07:58 pm (UTC)
I've always consider them female, never male because in the manga, their bodies didn't become physically male like they did in the anime, they were cross-dressing women. Naoko was really unhappy that they changed that on her, because senshi are only female.
Also.. No offense to star_healer, but the Hindu - Starlight connection was never confirmed by Naoko as far as I know. It's speculation, and there are some things that may be based of Hinduism, but again, it's unconfirmed and should be taken with a grain of salt. Naoko is supposed to have more say in this series, so I hope it clears up a lot of things that the last anime left untouched.
riringo 6th-Jul-2012 03:04 pm (UTC)
oh ok...
It doesn't need a lot of (unnecessary) episodes (I hate unimportant fillers), but I hope the episode is enough to explain all of the content of manga.. :)
but I don't complain if it will be a long episode with the new stories from the future Usagi and Mamo (I just curious with their stories after the whole episode from Sailor Cosmos tragedy in manga)
exdream1999 6th-Jul-2012 03:14 pm (UTC)
Oh, yes, that'd be cool to see, maybe, like, do a proper epilouge, especially since we don't really find out what happens to Chibi-Usa at the end too!

It's like, AND THEN WEDDING, THE END.
riringo 6th-Jul-2012 03:26 pm (UTC)
Yes...because to me it's still confusing (and unsettled)..
they're all died and then alive(or reborn ??) again skipskip the wedding day and then happy end.. come on I really need more drama xDD

exdream1999 6th-Jul-2012 03:27 pm (UTC)
I feel like they needed to wrap it up quick and was just like, "GIRLS LOVE WEDDINGS, LET'S DO A WEDDING!"
riringo 6th-Jul-2012 03:38 pm (UTC)
hahahahaa...yeah maybe xDD
but did you read the extra story with tittle "Parallel Sailor Moon"???
the story about the sailor senshi and their daughter at the future :))
exdream1999 6th-Jul-2012 04:19 pm (UTC)
Yes, I own that Art book! It's so WTF, that story.
roseofjuly 9th-Jul-2012 07:34 am (UTC)
I don't know - I know a lot of anime that have more moderate episode loads. I know a lot of series that have 26 episodes, a few with 52 episodes, Inuyasha has something like 150+ episodes...but it did end eventually.
katzsong 6th-Jul-2012 02:59 pm (UTC)
Yeah, the end of the manga is a bit...twisted. Idk which storyline they will choose but somehow for me now all I can think of is please let it have a better artwork :p
exdream1999 6th-Jul-2012 03:15 pm (UTC)
You say twisted, I say rushed as all hell. XP~

A redo of the manga ending that makes sense would be amazing.

And yes, good artwork. I'm so worried they'll turn them into moe blobs. ;_;
riringo 6th-Jul-2012 03:34 pm (UTC)
This!
I hope the new anime will have a better ending than the manga!!
