Sailor Moon is returning with a new anime series!

Quote:

The idol group Momoiro Clover Z, publisher Kodansha, and creator Naoko Takeuchi announced on Friday that a new anime adaptation of Takeuchi's Sailor Moon manga is being produced. The new anime series is aimed for release next summer, and Momoiro Clover Z will perform a theme song.

Momoiro Clover Z made the announcement during a live event celebrating the 20th anniversary of the manga. Momoiro Clover Z sang the first Sailor Moon anime's theme song "Moonlight Densetsu" at the event via a live video feed from France, where they are guests of Japan Expo.

Update: More background information added. Although Kotono Mitsuishi and Tohru Furuya, the voices of Sailor Moon/Usagi Tsukino and Tuxedo Mask/Mamoru Chiba in the first Sailor Moon anime, were present at the live event, the event did not specify that they will reprise their roles in the new series. The event also did not specify which song Momoiro Clover Z will perform as a theme song of the new anime.

Update 2: Kodansha editor Fumio Osano confirmed that the new anime project is not a film project. [Via Tadashi Sudo]

Update 3: Osano also emphasized that no details have been set for a hypothetical broadcast. However, the staff intends to release the new anime worldwide simultaneously. Source: Oricon

Good news. It's funny, i was going through some old boxes at my parents' house and I found some old Sailor Moon ultimate guide books(something like that. Like a guide to each sailor scout). I'm into it again. Maybe when this new anime comes out, they can rerelease some of the older ones on dvd/blu-ray. I have Sailor Moon S on dvd but none of the other seasons and a handful of season 1 on vhs and that's it. I want the rest at an affordable price.

Loved the hentai version

I don't know how I feel about a new sailor moon anime! I remember watching it when I was kid and I don't know if this new anime could live up to that nostalgia. I cautiously excited. This does give me an excuse to find the sailor moon series and marathon it!

I always loved the original theme song. hope they still used that.....lol

SM is one of my guilty pleasure animes since high school in the late 90s when i was watching it on Toonami back in 97 at 16 and had a crush on the girls especially Venus.

Nice to see a revamp.

Whoa so it seems as if they're remaking/re-adapting the manga.

The old one was pretty hilarious. The fanbase for this is huge seeing as the manga re release in North America has been in the #1 spot for months now since they started republishing them.

Wow, it is pretty exciting. I can say I grew up with Sailor Moon. Also, I think Naoko Takeuchi did great job with Sailor Moon. If you are a fan of Tekeuchi I certainly suggest her short movie called 'Orizuru' It supposed be only 12-14 min.
