I bought the 6 volume set and while I have no idea if it influenced anything or not, it completely owns and everyone should pick it up. I've been holding out for another box for the next volumes, but I think I might cave and just buy them individually. Here's what I said about it over in another thread: a kitten posted:Finally getting around to reading the new(ish) publishing of Sailor Moon. It's actually even better than I thought it was going to be and moves way faster than I was expecting; I'm only on Volume 3 and they just took out Queen Beryl. Have you all seen the footage of the proposed US remake? It's uh, something else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3scSHk4h2g&t=111s skip to about 1:50 if you want to skip the intro I'm not sure if it misses the mark quite as much as the Doozy Bots, but it comes drat close.

Naw, that sort of thing is definitely still around. Sudden shifts into absurd animation jokes are one of the reasons I started getting into anime in the first place, so I'm very glad that it still happens. I'm definitely looking forward to the new series. The original anime suffers from some pacing issues in a big way, it takes like 11 episodes before Ami even shows up as Sailor Mercury, for someone who is used to the way more modern shows are paced it make it hard to want to keep watching. Don't get me wrong, it's fine for a kids show to have endless episodes of "bad guy does something (probably involving jewelry), eventually Sailor Moon throws a tiara at him and wins", but for a viewer used to cliffhanger after cliffhanger it can sometimes drag. The manga however just hurls itself along at a breakneck pace, so I hope that the upcoming version sticks a bit more closely to it. Assuming it's a remake at all and not some new thing entirely. edit: it's still totally worth watching! Just something to keep in mind for new viewers maybe. a kitten fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Jul 17, 2013 |

Yatsuha posted:So to get myself through until the show comes out I just decided to turn my town into a Sailor Moon theme in Animal Crossing Do these work? I ran across them the other day when I was deciding if it would be worth getting a 3DS for one silly game.  The only problem with that Essentials list is that I worry it might skip some episodes that don't really advance the plot, but contain some great scenes. re: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc-OqqRDSGg Or the one where the girls find Rei's stash of crossdressing and/or lesbian romance manga. Which, incidentally, youtube has taken down and I can't find a duplicate anywhere  . I don't know for sure if it does skip some of the fun ones, but you might be missing out on some great stuff if you skip too much.Reference? Coincidence? I don't know, but I like it Sailor Moon  Madoka Magica

Having just finished up the manga (which ruled, btw) I wanted to share a statistic I noticed. Number of Roses Thrown by Tuxedo Mask: 0 Not one! I figured at some point he'd throw one, if only as a nod to the anime version, but nope; exactly zero rose-chucking involved.

I bought the first 6 volumes as a box set and since I couldn't wait a few months until the second 6 get one I bought the rest of them about a week ago and just finished up reading Vol. 12 yesterday. Someone earlier posted about how, in the manga the rest of the Sailors don't get much character development at all; they pretty much just show up and shoot a special attack and that's about it. There's bits and pieces of characterization, but I think I filled in large parts of their personalities with ideas I had about them from the anime. That's ok though, it was totally worth the read; I really liked her artwork and occasionally there will be a page, or even just a panel that's really eye-poppingly beautiful. I especially love when she just has Sailor Moon's already impossibly long hair just continue right off of the page seemingly to infinity. As a random sample of what I mean, look at this: (sorry it's the old, flipped tokyopop version, couldn't find scans of the new translation)  Hair and ribbons right off of the page, panels over and under and behind each other. There's pages where characters step through and peek around panel borders, and pages where the panels borders are created by weapons or hair. I guess what I'm saying is Naoko Takeuchi is a pretty skilled comics artist.

Characters are not 85% legs and hair: immersion ruined. Anyway, both ANN and Crunchyroll have short articles about the announcement and its tiny tidbits of information; I'm actually somewhat encouraged because it does at least seem like there really will be a new anime at some point, I've been worried it was going to be shelved indefinitely. Osano posted: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.

Seriously! Are those in any of the new volumes? I don't remember that from the main series at all. Which could mean any of the following: 1)I forgot, because brains are weird. 2)It's just plain not in the new releases. 3)It's from the short story collection(s) that I haven't picked up yet.

Yeah the subs are pretty bad, desperately need a better (any??) editor. At least it doesn't feel like I missed anything important, but annoying to read nonetheless. The animation/direction seems a whole lot less dynamic this time around compared to the earlier version (and the manga). No cartoony flash of her skeleton when she Sailor V Kicked the door for example. Also, no rose throwing...c'mon Naoko you know you love roses, have them add that even if you didn't have Tuxedo Mask do that in the manga. It was also fun to watch this one since I just watched the first 3 episodes of the original on hulu a week ago, not to mention having read the whole manga fairly recently. Anyway, it was fun and I'm glad it's coming out and even with my complaints I'm pretty happy with it so far.

And of course both are nearly identical to the original manga's first chapter. It's kind of neat to look at all three versions since they're all so easily available at the moment.

No toast in the manga either.  At least not in the opening pages, I can't remember if it happens at all or not, i want to say that it does though. Funnily enough, I was pretty sure I remembered the whole running with toast thing as happening right away and was moderately surprised to not see it when I started the manga. edit: huh that image I pulled off the net has opposite take on the crybaby line than the Kodansha version, in the copy I'm looking at she says "I admit it myself...I'm a bit of a crybaby" a kitten fucked around with this message at 06:44 on Jul 8, 2014 |

If they had thought to stick a tiara on Luna I bet they could have all just waltzed in together. Not that it slowed her down for long, I guess she really is a cat after all. It's weird, but not bad that they changed up some of the translation now, I went back to see if they might have retroactively changed Evil to Youma in the first episode, but nope. Not yet anyway. Evil was dumb, Youma is ok, why not just demon or something? The translation seems different in the OP song too, maybe it's just that the karaoke is pink now.
