Wow, I thought they were never going to air it. I'm not going to believe it until I see it, though.

Now that you say that I wonder if the fan artists will stop using the old art style and go for the newer style.

Summer is saved by default.

I can't wait!

I know the delays have sucked, but I'm so hyped about this that I really don't care.

I seriously can't wait.

Sailor Moon was the first ever anime I saw, and I loved it very much.....I just hope this new reboot will be just as entertaining if not more so.

YES YES YES! I can't wait. It's unfortunate that we've had such setbacks, but I'm glad that it looks like there's more certainty going around. I'm going to have to side with those who are wary though, because I'd hate to see it become the anime equivalent of vaporware. Still, we have hope!

Now it'd be nice to get a few stills to show us the art direction...

FINALLY. I was almost ready to give up hope on it ever really happening. At last we have announcement regarding dates and staff now, so that's a big step forward. I wasn't realistically expecting Ikuhara or Sato to return to direct it, but one of the four main directors of One Piece and the one who specifically directed Strong World sounds good enough to me. The writer doesn't look too impressive yet, but hopefully he's got it in him. All I really ask from you, Toei, is that you get as much of the original seiyu cast back as possible and make the animation look as good as it was for Kyousogiga.

If we throw money at it, do you think they'll air it earlier?

*throws money*

Since it will stick more closely to the manga, does that mean all the character designs is as Takeuchi has drawn them? THAT would be interesting.

I also hope the English dubbing won't be atrocious nor would there be any of those liberties the license holders used to do (change names or censorship). But that is thinking WAY ahead. It needs to air first.

Who cares, just have patience. If Toei is putting a lot of effort into this then I don't mind waiting longer.
It's good for me too so I can catch up with the rest of the series, I'm only at R as of now.

Never watched Sailor moon or knew of it's existence until I joined this site, even though it's supposed to be as popular as DB.

I will try to watch it but I predict myself dropping it early on. Will see.

Director of Suite Precure, Script Supervisor of Smile... at least with creator being involved in production it should be decent (or not just because of this).
Bandai and Toei know how much money they can earn here.

As long as it won't colide with Happiness Charge Precure I will be looking forward to Sailor Moon.

Really keen for this, should be a lot of fun while also bringing back childhood memories. Really interested in how they will adapt the art from the older animation to a more modern style.
