| Oh wow..I'll definitely watch it.I love Sailormoon.When I was a little girl,my cousins and I used to pick who got to be who xD Sailor Mars is my favourite :) |
| mixed feelings about this tbh on one side, I'm "askdjaldskdjsaldjajfk yes!!! my childhood!!!" on the other side, I'm "oh god, please, don't f... it up, please (-_-) " I guess we just have to wait and hope for the best (´･ω･`) |

| Any efforts to go back and re-tale the correct path are more than appreciated, any old series re.boots anyway, anytime! I will welcome with open arms. |
| From what I've seen/read from a lot of the fan's expectations and predictions, a lotta people think it will either pick up from where the last season left off or be a total reboot so it may be closer to the manga, but as for me, I think it be something totally unexpected if it took place years later and the sailor scouts are now adults instead of being just girls. |
| huh? NANI??!! |
 |
| Not sure what to think about it. Magical girls genre has gone a long way from Sailor Moon to Madoka. Not sure if old fans still have an appetite for happy-go-lucky magical girls anymore, they wants them blown up now lol. Well, if they follow the manga this time, then maybe it will attract new fans to the series. I will watch a couple episodes out of curiosity. |
 |
| WHAT!!!!!!!!!! My body is ready!! Sailor Moon S (Season 3) + Sailor Moon Stars (Season 5) excelled with their more "mature content" elements.... I have high hopes for this. This is a childhood fave of mine, and I am soooo excited. |
  |
| Lets be cautious, Saint Seiya Omega is nothing like the old Saint Seiya. It depends what is their target audience, bring in the old audience or gather new blood, maybe from kids as SS Omega. In any case I welcome this. |
ThangLong said: Weird you say that given we still see traditional Magic Girl anime like PreCure coming out every year. Don't forget that Sailor Moon was not a midnight anime but was watched by an audience similar to those who watch PreCure now (that is, a lot of young kids). Old fans may have switched to other things. They may not even watch anime any more, but I think this is as much, if not more, an attempt to get new fans for Sailor Moon as appealing to those old fans.Not sure what to think about it.

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| I think your last sentence symbv said: I think this is as much, if not more, an attempt to get new fans for Sailor Moon as appealing to those old fans somewhat answers for your first point symbv said: traditional Magic Girl anime like PreCure coming out every year Since there are many new fans coming to watch anime every year, I think this is indeed an attempt to convert newcomers who have not used to watch Magical Girl genre yet. As for me, old fan, my tastes has changed a lot since I was little watching Sailor Moon and Sakura so I may not like it. |

Not sure if old fans still have an appetite for happy-go-lucky magical girls anymore, they wants them blown up now lol. Well, if they follow the manga this time, then maybe it will attract new fans to the series. I will watch a couple episodes out of curiosity. I would still prefere Sailor Moon over Madoka. I am one of those old fans, that watched SM as it was being aired. Maybe because Sm for me will always be a reference point more than anything. And I still enjoy anime, in fact when i was watching SM I did not like any other anime at all, I was usually disappointed that I couldn't find more similarities between them. SM has a huge potential because it builds up on a very romantic legend, the impossible love of a moon princess and the mortal prince of earth. The legend is actually a greek one, involving the deity Selene (aka Serenity). The legend itself is very beautiful and sad, take that and write a manga involving other very disturbing and mysterious themes and characters, and you will most definitely produce something with a huge impact on the fans. For example, how many Madoka fans you know? I don't know any. Madoka fans as in... people trying to roleplay her, even kids, or young girls that made role models out of Sayaka or Homura? Really, none. Sailor Moon had very strict patterns for all it's characters and some of the mysterious auras that involved distant planets was well rendered for the outer senshis for example... as they were actually secondary characters they had build a massive fanbase that was overjoyed at what the outer senshis inspired. To have characters that inspire their fans is a very important and probably hard to achieve task. Is maybe similar to what Naruto is today. You can check around and see how many debates, how many conspiracy theories and how much fanart is produced from Naruto. Same goes for Sailro Moon, except it had a very different fanbase (mostly young girls) and it was set in a different time, well 20 years ago we didn't have access to the internet like now, we weren't up to date to what happens in Japan, we didn't have access to forums, to deviantart and whatever fuels the cerativity and love for the characters. Apart from that, you have to question the reason why they chose to animate another season for Sailor Moon. I mean if it was ONLY for the old fans, they could do it 10 or 5 years ago.... Everyone who still loves SM sure did love her 10 years ago also. Why they didn't chose to do it then ? So I don't think they are doing it "for the old fans". But at the same time, SM always had a potential to be reaired if you ask me... there were always people who wanted her back... it's not "too late". But they must have in mind the new audience, sure thing. And I suppose they realize that the old recipe wouldn't work for attracting new fans... the old monster of the week style is just very boring now and we all know it. I guess it's more plausible to believe they are animating a version closer to the manga, because the manga was way darker than the anime of the time. And I suppose that would appeal to just about everyone at this moment: -younger fans because it still has the young magic girls -people who don't really like magic girls but will be attracted by the darker theme of it, just like in Madoka's case -old fans because they want to see it again in different perspective -manga fans , which include NEW manga fans since the manga is being currently republished so it is to be assumed SM already has a new fan base. That's just my guess as why they will not make a "continuation". If they wanted a continuation, first of all Naoko Takeuki had to write new manga material. And she hasn't. If they really wanted a continuation, that would definitely address ONLY the old fanbase and such a season would definitely not come after 20 years. |
| ERMAHGERDDD YERSS I LERVV SERRLLER MERRNNN |

| Yay, am looking forward to this :D. I loved Sailor Moon as a child, it was one of the first anime I watched. Even though my tastes have changed, I'm still looking forward to seeing what they will make of it this time around. As mentioned in other peoples replies, I also hope that it will follow the manga more closely and be aimed at an older audience. |
| Holy shit. I did NOT see that coming. First they remake my DBZ, now my Sailor Moon? Please remake Rurouni Kenshin too and my life would be complete. |
| Great a shitty anime with a shitty group performing the opening. Just perfect. |

If you read the website, they specifically stated that it will be a reboot- NOT a sequel. @Yuu- So you're not a Sailor Moon fan, but you felt the need to come here and lord your 'superiority' over everyone? Is your life so difficult and terrible that you must validate yourself by pretending that you are better for not liking a series than many people far older and, to be blunt, wiser than you enjoy? You're what, 15? You don't like Sailor Moon because you were barely out of diapers when it aired here. You are too young, naive, and quite frankly arrogant to understand why this is such a big deal, or to even just keep your opinion to yourself about it. I'm not sure what you hoped to accomplish by posting here, other than making yourself feel better by putting down the tastes of others. Don't worry though- You'll grow out of it eventually. |
| Can't wait. I think I might watch the old series since it has been a while |
 |
| Wow, I used to love the original series. I'm not sure what to think about a reboot... |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
malvarez1 said: Wow, I used to love the original series. I'm not sure what to think about a reboot... Really? I've been saying they should do a reboot for years. When I heard the news for this I was shocked and overjoyed. I can't wait. No matter how bad or good it ends up being, it's going to be a fun trip down memory lane. |
| I was never able to finish the original series, but since this is an alternative version, looking forward to this! |
 |
| Aw it's a remake? The original was so great though, why remake perfection? :( Oh well, at least it will finally give me an excuse to "rewatch" it. |
| Reboot is more fair, because it isn't logical to continue the old series in new style. As for 'artwork that looks old'... Now in some news we may see refs-looking artwork as illustration, but it's from artbooks about old anime, released in mid-90s. Don't get confused; it don't related to new one. |
| I don't understand why they are doing reboot. The original series were just great. It would be much better if they did 6th season. I remember there were a lot of petitions about 6th season a while ago. I don't think that I am going to watch this. *sad and disappointed* |

This is like Hunter x Hunter, a reboot to make it relevant again for a new generation. |

I remember there were a lot of petitions about 6th season a while ago. I don't think that I am going to watch this. *sad and disappointed* Ah...where is people getting all this info about the new series being a "reboot" or a "remake" of the whole series? Because all I have found is that they are making a new anime to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Sailor moon. Now, this anniversary/commemorating anime are generally short, like the 13 episodes of Cobra the animation, made to commemorate the series' 30th anniversary. While I would like to see the 200 episodes remade with new animation and following more closely the original story, I believe what they have planned is just an one-cour late-night series. I'd love to be proven wrong, though. I really felt bad after reading your comment, because it actually makes sense. Never thought of this but I really hope they're planning a remake series, just like Hunter x Hunter and Fullmetal Alchemist. |
| I hope they'll include Sailor V's story in the remake. It wouldn't feel complete without it. |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |
| Of all the anime that need reboots, they choose Sailor Moon. Guess we will see how it turns out. |

They should remake Rosario + Vampire or any of the other really bad adaptations. |
| I'll probably watch this and see what's up. Used to catch Sailor Moon in the mornings as a very young kid, hell Sailor Moon is one of if not the earliest animated series I can remember watching and back then I had no clue what anime was or that it was really a Japanese show. Honestly I can hardly remember what it was like at all, just that the music and transformations were pretty catchy. I've never actually tried to sit down and watch the original series even though it's been at least 15 years now because I just figured it would be a little too childish or girly for me but perhaps I'm wrong and should give it a chance, might even get a little bit of nostalgia out of it. |

But, since I hear the manga is pretty different compared to the anime I think a reboot in that direction is the right way to go. Cutting out the filler alone should make for a better all around series. |

Cutting out the filler alone should make for a better all around series. In general, I'm not really sympathetic when it comes to what I perceive to be cash grab entertainment moves. I'd rather see a reboot to a bad anime series than a reboot to Sailor Moon, knowing full well that it will make money just because it's Sailor Moon. It would be like Rebooting the Harry Potter movies because they didn't follow the movies to the letter, and then pocketing a ton of money. Edit: I'm still going to watch this, and I hope its a full reboot and not a 12 episode thing like the above poster said. |

Well, of course this is being animated because it's Sailor Moon and will undoubtedly make a crap load of money. But, so what? If it can give us a better story like FMA Brotherhood, Hellsing Ultimate and some other reboots then I'm all for it. I honestly don't care what the makers motives are. Of course, this does indeed depend upon whether it's actually a reboot or not. I hope it is, because as much as I enjoyed the first two seasons that I've watched recently....there is certainly room for improvement. |

| I'm hoping they will make it a bit more mature. Not like Ero mature, but maybe they could make the Romance a bit deeper and less cliche. Also, awesome animation would be great too. 1080p CGI clothing changing transformation scenes. James Cameron Presents: Sailor Moon 2013.
