Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal
I did not know about this before seeing some posts explode on twitter and Facebook.
I still hate that the US Never got a sub/dub release of Sailor Stars. I have The original and R box sets, then the individual disc releases for S and SS. I wish S and SS had a nice boxset like original and R.

Re: Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal
They've finally released the voice acting cast and the character designs for the new series:

One thing I REALLY like is they avoided the moe-like character designs common in anime nowadays--note it is much more faithful to the original Naoko Takeuchi manga character designs. I can't wait for the TV series premiere in July 2014.

I've been aware of this reboot for a couple of years now, when it was first announced they made it seem like it was right around the corner.
I have fond memories of watching the US dub version on the USA network years ago, so I'm not sure how well this will maintain my interest, but I want to give it a chance.

The first episode was a good remake of the original first episode, I think they made Sailor Moon look like she should be in college and not 14years old.

I used to watch the show all the time but can't say I'm looking forward to this at all. It was pretty silly from what I recall and I doubt it holds up well today. If the reboot is more of the same (albeit with a fresh coat of paint), I think it'd be best left as nostalgia.
I haven't paid much attention to modern Japanese cartoons. What's this "Moe" look you refer to (I'm assuming you mean from the Three Stooges)?

I can't see fans of Sailor Moon complaining too much about moe, given the fetishist costumes and the yet-to-be-introduced Chibiusa character...

Re: Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal
Maybe it's like comic book fans complaining about Rob Liefeld's illustrating of characters.
Anyway, I tried watching the new Sailor Moon but Usagi's voice is really annoying. Is that how it was in the original anime? As much as the Dic version was criticized, deservedly in most cases, I liked Tracey Moore and Terri Hawkes doing the voice for Serena.

Re: Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal
I got a chance to watch this last night. Overall I really liked it. I thought the OP and ED songs were well done. I was a little surprised that in the opening sequence it shows all the inner scouts. Sure, in the original, they kind of showed them slowly as to build up some suspense, I guess, to the other scouts. The animation didn't bother me at all nor the voices. The episode felt familiar but new, if that makes any sense.
I'm looking forward to the upcoming episodes and story arcs that will be animated.

After three episodes I have to say I am really enjoying it. It feels like it's moving a lot faster than the original series. Which makes sense since the original used a lot of filler. But then again it probably isn't fair to really compare the two.
In any case, the wait between episodes is almost too much. But it could be worse like once a month instead of twice.

Re: Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal
I'm kind of surprised there isn't much more about the show after the episodes air. Granted, its a kind of niche series as is anime in general compared to other tv/movies.. But I've really enjoyed the series so far. The most recent episode was really well done and I am really liking the way the scouts are coming into their power in the episodes. I'll be picking up the blu-ray release when it comes out.
Has any info been given on how far, compared to the original series, the manga and this show will go? I started to read the manga but never got around to finishing it.

Whether it will cover only the Dark Kingdom story, or cover both the Dark Kingdom story and the Black Moon story, remains to be seen.

Re: Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal
Anyone still watching this?
Episode 15 aired on 2/7 and is the first episode in season 2,I believe.
Episode 14 ended with the scene with Usagi and Mamoru in the park with Chibiusa falling out of the sky and pointing a gun at Usagi.
The new opening for season 2 features the Black Moon characters and does show Sailor Pluto.

I've been considering whether to start my 5 year old on this version or on the older version (dubbed). Any thoughts? We watched the first episode of this version when it first came out, but I haven't gotten back around to it.

Sailor Moon Crystal Gets 3rd Season
Sailor Moon Crystal Gets 3rd Season
The final episode of the second Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal anime season aired on Monday, and the anime's website announced that production on a third season for the Death Busters arc has been green-lit. The new season will assemble all 10 Senshi — specifically, the popular outer Senshi such as Sailor Uranus, Sailor Neptune, and Sailor Saturn will join Sailor Moon, Sailor Chibi Moon, and the others. The new season will adapt the arc from the fifth and sixth volumes of the complete edition of Naoko Takeuchi's original Sailor Moon manga.
