So happy to see this!! Especially that it will have Stars, finally! I know I'll be getting that, and may pick up the whole series even though I have the original releases to show support and with the talk in the interview about an LE release. The screenshot comparisons are also quite nice.
Yeah, their treatment of Full Moon is one reason I normally hate Viz anime licensing any shojo. In this case though, I seriously doubt they would be so insane. |

Maybe as an alternate track, but it might be better to get an English version closer to the Japanese original. Even for the theme song. (Usagi does frequently run from a real fight.) |

And then you have to consider the Japanese OP is entirely different video. Maybe they'll have the old American OP as an extra or something.

Will this include episode 67?
 (They better...)
If it's just an upscale of the dvd source, it's just pointless. |

That's what I think it'll be unless they say otherwise, that they have the original film elements ready for cleanup and scanning. I doubt it if they plan on releasing the BDs just later this year, considering SM's length of episodes. Oh, there's even a photo for the press release and on ANN's interview: cdn03.animenewsnetwork.com/images/cms/interview/74639/03.png Yeah, that looks goddamn awful.
That's irrelevant, Charlene. Age has nothing to do with quality unless you're specifically tying filmstocks and qualities to a certain era. If age was the major factor, then old films would all look like shit just because they're old. More specifically to anime, Patlabor and Nadia have decent BDs, and they're both older than SM. Urusei Yatsura has an okay BD, and it's a decade older. Last edited by walw6pK4Alo on Fri May 16, 2014 7:04 pm; edited 5 times in total |

Yes!!!!!! This news along with the license of the new Sailor Moon Crystal anime made my day.
The article said that Viz licensed ALL 200 episodes. So, I would assume that episode 67 is included. Last edited by SailorDJ on Fri May 16, 2014 6:55 pm; edited 1 time in total |

No. Just no. This show is too important for Bang Zoom to screw it up. Sailor Moon deserves a union dub, done at Studiopolis, with Jack Fletcher directing. |

Resurrect Animaze for this.
Get Mary Elizabeth McGlynn to direct the dub. |

I'm genuinely surprised that FUNimation didn't get their hands on it, but at the same time I really gotta give Viz props!!
I'm really looking forward to this

Regarding my question about the digital streaming service, it was answered in the interview article here: animenewsnetwork.com/interview/2014-05-16/exclusive/viz-media-charlene-ingram-and-josh-lopez-on-sailor-moon
Free, legal and digital Sailor Moon. I'm such a happy fangirl right now!

I guess it's probably going to get a Bang Zoom dub then.
Oh. That's.... great. :\ |
