This amused me

http://twitter.com/radiomaru/status/48897647972585472 "PRE+SEQUEL=PREQUEL! Sailor V is not a PREQUEL, it was done BEFORE sailor moon argh kill me argh nerds why oh god nobody cares" Bryan Lee O'Malley wants us to know- Sailor V was made before Sailor Moon, so it is not a prequel in the "flashback sequel made after the original" sense. Rather, it's the original, and Sailor Moon's the spinoff. Such is the extent of Sailor Moon in nerdom. I have this wierd feeling there's going to be so many people in their 20's and 30's squealing about "Outer Senshi", "Death Busters/Bastards*" and "Sailor Galaxia" getting wierd looks from tween Naruto cosplayers at conventions this summer. *yes, in the french edition, the Death Busters are the Death Bastards. I have no idea why. I just know Kaori Knight's a bad-ass. |

Nice to hear this, though. I'm not a manga dude, but I remember watching SM all the time when I was a kid. Glad to see it coming back. |

There actually were some changes to the text and drawings.
While it was published first, the final chapter wasn't published until several months after the end of Sailor Moon. |

Oh yea, finaly some good news in the world, and out of japan as well as that man they pulled out of the rubble from the earthquake after 8 days alive.
I did not think we would ever see any sailor moon products in the states after Naoko refused to allow stuff to be licensed back in 04, back when she was made as the butcher job the North American dub was, and they did not pick up the live action of it. Now she might reconsider letting the anime come over again and this time it will be in full release and done uncut. Lets just see with the manga release first. signed Jeremy manga1 |

It's about time.
I've been missing 6 volumes in the graphic novel style (I have all the loose issues that where released)... ...and I refused to buy them from greedy people who want people to pay $200 for a volume for the badly translated ones. I'm glad I held off on buying the Japanese version now. I was going to buy it a few month ago but ended up buying something else. |

Ha. On a whim I bought a random volume of the old TokyoPop/Mixx editions last time I was rummaging through some old books at my comic shop back home. I find the whole history of manga coming to America interesting. Of course back then in high school I was more interested in Dark Horse's Lone Wolf and Cub. I wanna say that was one of my first manga. Though certainly Sailor Moon was a big one back then too. Nice to see it's back in print.

Utena remastered AND Sailor Moon + Sailor V?
Best year of my anime fan life. Only thing that can make it better is a Cardcaptor Sakura anime rescue. |

Yay! I don't know if I'll be picking up Sailor Moon since I have the orginal Tokyopop/Mixx books (I'd love to, but money is tight and there are other manga I've yet to read), but Sailor V is a must for me!

Spectacular.
I am so thrilled that Sailormoon is being brought back to the US. It's my favorite anime, and I absolutely love that a new generation will be able to enjoy it now, in print. |

How is the manga compared to the anime? I watched most of the original series but skipped a lot of the later episodes to get to the end since it got so repetitive (monster of the week and all).

I could never finish collecting the old Mixx version since manga wasn't that common around here back then. I'm already buying the Japanese books, the last batch I ordered should be here in about a week. Still, I'm a bit tempted to buy the US release too now that they're finally bringing the series back to english-speakers.
The really cool part of the news to me is Sailor V. It seems to be out of print in Japan and I've been wanting to read it for so long 
And Covnam, you should try the manga. I must admit I've only read 1/3 of it, but it's a lot better than the anime. Although I love them both. |

You know I tried finding the old MIXX COMICS (Before Tokyopop was called Tokyopop) editions of Sailor Moon but it was neigh impossible!
This is good news. I would buy them if only for nostalgia's sake. Its like reclaiming a little piece of my childhood. |

I prefer the manga to the anime myself. It doesn't have the repetitive battles. It's also quite different in various regards. The Senshi never get their final costumes in the anime, there are different explanations behind various characters and events (including the back-back story of the entire thing), there are characters (from Stars) that you never see in the anime, and the ending of the manga is VERY different. I can't say much of the major differences because its a spoiler...that's just how different they are. I love the anime and the manga, but I take them as different entities.[/quote] |

In not so many words, Toei were NOT on their A game when Sailor Moon Stars was being adapted (It was also when GT was on air too, so that should give some indication).
Which is a shame too, first seven episodes of Stars are easily some of the best of the whole series and could have served as a brilliant finalé if Cloverway had just thought things through for the US/CAN adaptation. |
