Sailor Moon Crystal Trailer

I'm a huge fan of the original Sailor Moon TV show, as well as the manga, so I can't wait for the reboot to air.  The new release date, according to the official Sailor Moon youtube page, is July 5th at 7pm (Japanese time).  I'm hoping this gets subtitled fast and put up on Crunchyroll or somewhere equally easy to access from Canada.



I like the animation though I'm amazed they managed to make everyone taller and, somehow, even thinner than before.  The faces are all thinner and smaller too.  Here are some comparison shots of the characters, from the old anime vs the new one.

Sailor Moon Reboot

This news is a few days old, but it doesn't look like it's hit the greater SF/Fantasy blogosphere much yet, so I'll post it here.  Sailor Moon is getting a reboot!  Manga Critic (and other sources) say it will be a brand new TV show, aimed at an older, more mature audience.  It's set for next summer.  This announcement makes me wonder if this is why the Sailor Moon manga has been rereleased in North America with a new (and more accurate) English translation.  I keep meaning to read and review those (I've been buying them as they come out).  I'm very excited about this.  Sailor Moon is one of the anime that got me into the genre.

And here's the song people on Moonkitty.net's twitter feed think will be the new opening theme.
