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. Sad


Haha. A sword to the gut is so girly, isn't it? The endless tragedy; the inescapable cycle of fate. Why, it might as well be a monochromatic hallmark card.

Wow, gorgeous promo art. Even now, I can hardly believe it's really happening...

Normally, I wouldn't expect this much, but given the delays, the anime better look just like that promo art.

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.


The Toei people doing their web work for this aren't incompetent, that I do not believe.

So, this was a bit of a <ahem> Troll.

I mean, you put a teaser count site up and label the "hidden big secret graphic" anime.png?

I think Toei wanted this to be found ... and displayed.

Lots of free publicity that. Laughing

Oh my gosh. Finally signs that it's really happening. Looks really pretty. Looks closer to the manga that is for sure.

Glad to see something from it. Hope the art matches the anime or around it.

Looks like the link is dead.

EDIT:
They actually removed the countdown altogether.
Now when you go to the Animation link, the anime image comes up.

Yeah, that's nice and all, but get back to me when it actually releases..... you know, like how it was supposed to be out already? So yeah, when July comes and they say "Well, we expect to release this in the winter broadcast season...." don't say I didn't tell you so. Very Happy

Now, I could be wrong, and it actually DOES run in July, then I will happily come here and say I was wrong.

Either way, I'm looking forward to this, whenever it comes.

The thread might be just a little too old to respond to... Razz

Back then, nothing was set in stone. Now we have art, staff, and an actual official air date (the Kodansha USA employee said the premiere date last time...) announced by Toei.

I don't like the artwork. The style dated. Windswept hair works great if you have an entire panel to show it's detail. It does not work well when you have multiple characters on the screen, several of whom have hair that's just as long and detailed.

Now that just looks gorgeous! If that is how the characters will look like in Sailor Moon Crystal, then I believe fans are already into something very special.

So this picture got leaked? Someone should have had more tighter security but with the "8 Days Left..." countdown, I wonder if they will have something else to make up for that one.
