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.

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.

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...
exdream1999 6th-Jul-2012 03:26 pm (UTC)
Oh, wait!

Wait!!

I might have some SM figurines in a suitcase!!

MUST GET THE REDECORATING DONE EARLY!!
chibi_hime 6th-Jul-2012 03:35 pm (UTC)
YESSSS.

OMG I had wall scrolls. Where are they???
exdream1999 6th-Jul-2012 03:43 pm (UTC)
I have to raid my closet back home!

I actually have all the single issue releases of SM MIXX used to release.
chibi_hime 6th-Jul-2012 03:44 pm (UTC)
ALL of them?
I bought a few before I started collecting the books. Now I have both English and Japanese 1st editions. Took me 10 years to get all the Japanese ones.
exdream1999 6th-Jul-2012 04:18 pm (UTC)
I have the whole Japanese Re-print and those North American style thin single issues of the Mixx version that randomly start in the middle of the first arc and end somewhere in SuperS.

I also have one of the artbooks. And a metric ass ton of the card game cards because my friend would by the whole box from the store and I ended up with her extras. XP
chibi_hime 6th-Jul-2012 04:20 pm (UTC)
I wonder if the artbooks can still be found in Japan. You should take advantage and check out so Book Offs. 1-3 can still be found for a reasonable price. 5 and the Materials collection... yeah... Not cool.
exdream1999 6th-Jul-2012 04:30 pm (UTC)
Yes, I totally should!

I think the one I have in the US is the Materials collection, that's the one with all the concept art and then the cracktastic side story with Kousa?
chibi_hime 6th-Jul-2012 06:15 pm (UTC)
Does it have a yellow cover?
If it does, you keep it safe!
It's one of the rare ones.
exdream1999 7th-Jul-2012 07:19 am (UTC)
Yes it does!

It's still safe back in the US, so all is good!
