Now we just need some promotional art and info on the staff/cast.

Switching into wishful thinking mode, my dream staff for the new series would include:
  • Umakoshi Yoshihiko as character designer. He's got experience with magical girls, and has adapted 90s shoujo character designs for animation.
  • Matsumoto Rie as director. An up and coming talent, best known for Kyousogiga, this would be an excellent showcase for her energetic style.
  • Yamada Takashi and Kuriyama Midori handling the script. They've got plenty of experience with magical girls.

Yeah, all of them worked on Heartcatch and/or Doremi. That's how I know they're good.

Rie is too busy w/ Kyousougiga TV to be working on SM right now assuming it is airing in Winter.

Which is why I spent the entire day cursing its existence when it was announced (even though its a great show!)

I don't know what Takashi is doing but Midori doesn't really work on things unless its with Team Umakoshi; unfortunately parts of Team Umakoshi are working on SSO right now so uh.

...the staffing situation re: Toei SM 2014 is pretty dire, since nearly everyone worthwhile is busy. Toei is making 6-7 shows right now.

It's only the end of the world.

If you need more of a Sailor Moon fix while waiting for the remake, and are a fan of Aino Minako as Sailor Venus is Best Sailor Ever with the Aino Minako Seal of Approval, it's worth checking out the Codename: Sailor V manga, Naoko's original sailor series that eventually spun off into Sailor Moon, only officially translated into English for the first time relatively recently along with the rest of the manga rereleases.

It includes action! Adventure! Romance! Tragedy! The beginning of Artemis's long career of suffering! Character designs that will later be blatantly stolen for use in the main Sailor Moon manga, including Rei as a police officer! Minako declaring she's sentencing a villain "to seppuku" before cutting it in half with a katana and Artemis thinks about correcting her about what that word means but :effort: gently caress it, at least she won the fight, right?! And desserts!

Plus, the totally true origin story of Aino Minako as Sailor Venus, Best Sailor Ever, and who could pass that up?

Pretend I punctuated this post with a picture of Crazy Eyes Minako holding her own Pure Heart Crystal and running away with it from that one S season episode . . . an image that GISing "sailor venus pure heart crystal" sadly doesn't provide.

Just grab a still from it on Youtube (episode 109).

The interesting thing about Sailor V is that the first couple chapters were done before Sailor Moon but after that they only came out once or twice a year and it actually finished its run after SM.

I'm waiting to see some sort of physical proof. A character sketch, cast list or promo poster. It feels like every announcement they make is another shovel of dirt flung out from the whole Toei is digging.

Toei isn't even the one making all the merchandise & musical announcements. They're selling some of the new merch on their online store but thats about it.

The merch is all Bandai and the musicals aren't related to Toei.

In fact there's basically no confirmation Toei is doing the new show (although its something like 99.9% certain).

Thanks for the tip, I just looked up this episode ended up watching the whole thing. It's kind of hilarious to watch Usagi being the level-headed one. "That's great, Minako-chan! Now, hurry up and put it back inside..." "Heeheeheeheehee!" :woop:

That episode actually has some cool plot things going on, too - if anyone's looking for a random episode to watch I'd suggest it.

How weird! I never realized, I always thought V came out first, then the proper series, like the "pilot" style chapters you sometimes see for manga. That's really quite bizarre.

It was just such a waste to go from the first seven episodes, which did more to be an adaptation of Super S's manga arc than anything Super S actually did, only to putz around for a whole season only for Galexia to just go "Right, this is boring, everyone's going to die right the gently caress now because I drat well say so" and then everyone died right the gently caress then because she drat well said so.

Oh don't get me wrong, The first and last seven episodes are easily some of the best stuff to come out of Sailor Moon but those 26 episodes in the middle (inspite of some really funny proto-Doreimi bits here and there) are just a chore to go though.

Yeah, Super S was dumb which is why the first seven eps of Stars were a better Super S than Super S.

Uhh I believe its 2 less volumes. It is also more expensive since its on bigger paper with better binding; this is the "complete" version.

Why does S get such a bad rap around these parts? I finished it recently and the second half is the most fun I've had with Sailor Moon yet. The Outers are interesting and help the Inners develop a little, Mamoru only appears when he has something to add to the episode, the antagonists are the weirdest and less cliched so far, and Chibi Usa is a real character rather than a plot device.

Did I skip some really bad episodes or do I just have weird taste?

You're getting confused with SuperS which is generally hated, S is the best series.

What was the series order again? Was it regular, then R, then S and super S? Wasn't there another one in there somewhere? I never got further than the dub so I'm a little hazy.

Half the sections are greyed out and in two rows, three of two portraits are missing underneath. It doesn't look incomplete, it looks half-loaded! I assume the missing portraits are due to the other volumes of the new collections not being released yet.
