hiabara said: why is everyone talking about a remake? "Finally, when commenting on the direction the new anime will take, Osano stated that it will not be a remake of the first series, suggesting that the new series will take a different direction than just adapting the manga in a straightforward manner, as was done with the previous series." (from crunchyroll) anyway, no matter if it'll be a sequel, remake or whatever, my body is so ready! >_>; Because the original announcement I saw here on MAL quoted Naoko as saying it would be a remake that follows the manga.... when she made her announcement in France.... That's why <_<; Also- I'm reading the manga, and while I can see where it meets the old series.... it feels like completely 2 different stories.... like 2 writers were given a general concept and told to write a story from it- put in 2 seprate rooms and one went to town with anything that poped into her head while the other came out more thought out and mature.... and I say this as someone who has, did and will always love the first series- it pulled me out of a serious depression and some really dark times when I was a kid. But the first series is so different from the manga I was in shock when I started reading the manga. So it did not adapt the manga in a straightforward manner in the first place.... it barely followed it except for touching base here and there in places. I saw the original announcement last year- and unless I see the words "Not following the manga" or something akin to that from Naoko or someone representing her, I will assume that's still their main plan. That statement does not mean it's not following the manga- I'm gonna quote Fai on that because I agree with what the user said. Fai said: That just means that its NOT the remake of the series. Mind you the tv show is NOT the original material. If anything this indicates they might readapt manga instead. |

RobUsaB said: Oh yeah, you're right, I missed that distinction the first time I read it. That "suggesting" part of the sentence is Crunchyroll adding its own interpretation to Osana's statement. All we know that Osana said, going by just CR's article, is "it will not be a remake of the first series." Thank goodness, because calling the first series a "straightforward" adaptation makes no sense at all. Yeah- It's laughable to call the first series a "straightforward" adaptation- it's about as straight as a roller-coaster..... |

| I was about to watch Sailor Moon but since this new one is going out so I will just wait next year then. |
| Crossing my fingers once more then. |
| Awesome news! This winter, eh? Count me in. :D |

GuiltyKing said: Actually, his wife technically isn't doing any one, sense the mangaka hardly ever have anything to do with the anime adaptation, if they even do get involved to begin with. See that, Togashi? Your wife is actually doing work. How about you try doing the same? In other words, I'm looking forward to this either way; be it a possible TV broadcast or not. I am passively interested in this. More curious about the animate style and budget than actually sitting down and watching it. The only monster of the week show I need is Kamen Rider. |
xtremexx said: sailor moon confuses me so much. Would i have to have read any other sailor moons to watch this series coming up or not? If they stick to the manga this time I don't know. It depends on how well they adapt the manga and how well they explain things. I would say the original needs nothing to be read. I was watching the origional series when it was dubbed when I was about 9-11.... I started sometime around then. I hadn't read the manga yet then and I adored it. I still love it. If they make a series this time around that explains itself as it goes, than no, you shouldn't need to read the manga- but the manga is fantastic. It was just re-released in English and it's my first time reading it. |

| Oh my god I'm so excited! I hope it turns out great (and gets licensed here as well) |

I am passively interested in this. More curious about the animate style and budget than actually sitting down and watching it. The only monster of the week show I need is Kamen Rider. If it's an extremely faithful manga adaptation, then the new series won't be monster-of-the-week. The manga "generals" rarely sent youma to do their bidding; they were usually directly involved in their schemes and consequently they are dispatched quickly. I, who kept expecting pacing akin to the anime, was surprised every time a villain was defeated. On the other hand, I am not sure how well that would adapt into anime. I'd expect the result would be similar to Madoka Magica, which actually had very few "villains." The flipside was that transformation sequences and moments of pure mahou-shoujo-awesomeness were unusually rare. Maybe this is partly what caused the delay. How do we make a faithful adaptation, keep the mahou shoujo staples, and avoid monster-of-the-week syndrome? If we look at Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (the live action series), it pretty much starts as a monster-of-the-week series, but becomes something more as the schemes, dramas, and relationships of the heroes and villains gain more prominence. |

| Yay! I really expected it to just never happen after they announced the delay! I can wait. That's just over a year. :) |

Well I must thank you. That post has certainly changed how I feel about this new adaptation, enough so that I'm actually interested in seeing how they execute it. Kudos to you sir. |
| This would be nostalgic. |

| I'm currently watching the original franchise (on Sailor Moon R right now), and I adore it! I think its those transformation sequences. I could just watch them all day... So yeah, I'm excited. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit sceptical, because of course I want it to live up to its name but reboots like this (remake or whatever its gonna be) so late in the day don't always work. Hopefully it will though, fingers crossed. |

If so, please link.GodlyKyon said: Why should the art style deviate from the manga?The art style hasn't evolved? More nostalgia for people, I suppose. Yeah, was wondering if there was art I missed. They can stay true to the manga's art and upgrade the animation from the original.... actually it would look better if they stayed true to the manga art- Usagi and the girls were prettier in the manga. |

| Sailor Moon was my first big obcession with anime. In fact, I don't know if I would be this much of an anime fan if it wasn't for Sailor Moon. I can't wait to get my hands on this new series! |
| PLEASE let this anime stick to the manga |
| how many of the actual ppl here actual watched the original sailor moon?were some of them even born when it was airing? still i'm looking forward to this |
 |
| yay more time for me to catch up. |

I didn't say it was bad- have said in previous posts here that the origional animated Series helped me out of some serious depression and dark times when I was a kid- to be blunt, I was near suicidal (I won't get into why) when I was 9- And Sailor Moon gave me something to focus on and hold onto- I love it up until after the arcs after they dealt with Hotaru (Hotaru's was the last one I liked<_< ) ..... After that it went down hill for me. But that's neither here nor there. I just wanted to point out that I didn't say it was bad. I was just implying that people should read the manga and watch the original series before they clam that it followed the manga in a "Straightforward way" and pointing out how different from the manga it was. I'll always be fond of the original series, because it helped me through those hard times. But after reading the manga- I can see the differenced and it makes some of Sailor moon look too silly to stand at times. I think it would have been better if they'd followed the manga to begin with- I just don't get why they don't follow the manga when they usually end up going back and re-animating it all over again, Sailor moon isn't the first to do thus and won't likely be the last either.

Yeah- it was still airing here in the USA till at least 2003-- I think. But what does it matter if they were born or not when it was airing? They can watch it if/whenever they feel like it- either on the net or from old vhs or dvds.... >_>; I don't get why it matters if they were born then or not- it has nothing to do with their ability to enjoy (Or not enjoy) it as they want.... |

| I agree with keeping things from the manga as fairly faithful as possible... within reason. Sailor Moon was my first conscious anime and manga (as in I realized there was such a label as "anime") but I acknowledge it is far from the best manga I've read. The pacing is horrible sometimes, and at one point EVERYONE'S personality starts melting until they all have the same damn personality with almost no difference. Some of the things the anime did were pretty bad (Mamoru 6 instead of 3 years older, Rei a completely different character, etc) but some things vastly improved the story and characters, and for all the filler it had, actually had the time and opportunity to grow and have distinct personalities. So as long as they pick up the best from both versions, and keep out the crap for either too, it should be an awesome anime. And yes no kiddie friendly bullcrap, not even the old anime compares to the amounts of kiddy friendly crap Precure has. As much as I like some of the Precure series, the overly-childishness of them grates on my nerves. The old Sailor Moon anime could still be enjoyable for teens too, Precure not so much (old male fans not included) they should aim to that again. I confess I really liked what they did with Starlights though (my favourite season after the first one), I felt the manga was so much of a taco fest, half a boy was better than none and there's already a crossdresser in the group lol and honestly Usagi and Mamoru's relationship was so meh at that point I welcomed the new chemistry Seiya and Usagi had. So... if they convince Takeuchi to go that route again I'll be more than happy with it lol |

Especially in regards to Stars- Stars was by far my favorite season and I really didn't like the manga version of it. The only thing I liked more in in the manga of Stars was the Sailor Quartet- I was sad they didn't use them in the anime. |
