I think I'm going to trust the folks at Toei to get this right. Gonna' smile like a silly goof all weekend.

I wonder how much this anime will get away with? Considering the shape of the 'T' in 'Crystal', it at least looks like the infamous sword made it in. I wonder if they'll cover the subsequent arcs, as well?

Sailor Moon Crystal sounds like the title for the first coeur. I think the show will change its titles for subsequent coeurs. I don't know what the second coeur would be called but the third will most likely be known as Sailor Moon Infinity, the fourth as Sailor Moon Dream but will the fifth be called Sailor Moon Stars? The original '90s series used that so they may have to play it differently this time around.

Another thing, where are the infamous Sailor Moon moon goggles? Shocked

You know as soon as you buy it, they'll just release Sailor Moon Emerald.

Well, now I can rub it in the faces of everybody who said they were going to drastically change the designs. Or everyone who thought the countdown was a rib.

Shame it got leaked, though. Now there's nothing to look forward to in 8 days.

Also, "anime.png" was the worst thing they could call it.

Jokes aside, this looks beautiful. Looks like the designs will be closer to Naoko's style this time around. Which makes sense if the series is going to directly adapt the manga, as the producers have implied.


Good one!

This was posted on their site? I read somewhere else that this was leaked. Either way I'm SO happy we finally get something about the anime that isn't smoke and mirrors. If the hair is anything like it is in the manga I'll be sold forever. I can't wait for more!

My god... Sailor moon looks majestic as fudge in that promo art. In hopes that the animation art will look this beautiful.

It was leaked, similar in the way the second episode of Oreimo got leaked by ANN a few years back, it was on the server but hidden and changing the URL (the "anime.png", apparently) made it show up.

The promo art always looks a little weird, so I'm sure the animation will look a little more...uh..anatomically correct Anime hyper

Still, this is exciting! I hope the end of the count-down leads to an animated teaser or something!

The image looks almost like something from the manga. Very very nice. I look forward to hearing the cast announcement.

Edit: Toei took down the image from its website! Whoopsies!

I know that since this is supposed to be closer to the manga, which was a bit girlier and melodramatic than the (original) anime, I shouldn't be excited for this as a man. For God's sake, my ownership of the manga is a bit of a dirty secret\guilty pleasure (needed to support a classic though...and the literal retranslation!).

But I can't wait to see this. :(
