There is no such company. Even if there were, it's clear from the article that AX refers to the convention where the new cast will be announced, not a production company. |

There should be absolutely no confusion about this. There is no studio that dubs anime that's called "AX Production". None. It does not exist. The end. |

No. No. No... Absolutely no. Just...... No. Luna isn't a British nanny. She's not a British nanny in the original. Luna is even supposed to be slightly YOUNGER than Usagi. End of story. - Also, upon watching the episodes Viz got up on Hulu, they actually did, sort of, technically edit one of the episodes... Episode 4, there was a huge obvious mistake that's been present in every release until now (Including Japanese). It was a random 2 second clip from Sailor Moon's transformation that appeared in the middle of her fighting the guys with the tiaras. It happens at about 20:20 where one of the guys is about to hit her with a dumbbell. In this release, they cut that part out and sort of... made the scene pan slightly? But I guess it's more of correcting the mistake, rather than an actual edit. I don't really mind it. |

Well, might as well say this now that it is official:
Sailor Moon. Is. Licensed. Yay! Justin, I know you're hiding here somewhere! Come on out and tell us that the stars have aligned! Be a good sport! |

I didn't realize that was considered a mistake. I always figured the staff intentionally added those few frames to cut corners and didn't think viewers would really notice.
I considered pointing that out myself. I mean, damn. He was like, "Abandon all hope." But I decided there was no point in gloating. We got what we wanted and that's what really matters. |

I knew this was gonna happen it was just a matter of time before the announcement came. I mean you don't just reboot the 20th anniversary without bringing the old series back. It's been years since the old series had seen the light of day. So I'm glad. We can finally pick this up. I had been wanting to pick this up for the library for years but it had not only been discontinued after a couple of re-releases but I didn't have the power I have now to purchase it. So I'll be looking forward. I wonder how they will be releasing the series? That's what I'm waiting on. But in the meantime, I'm gonna try and catch the few episodes that are up. I guess my summers at work won't be too boring.

For the record, I never gave up hope because I'm a firm believer in the notion that all things work out in the end. Just wanted to see if Justin was willing to come out and eat humble pie like a man. No pressure to him though. Last edited by KabaKabaFruit on Mon May 19, 2014 3:59 pm; edited 1 time in total |

They're releasing the series in half-season sets. The first two will have 23 episodes each. No idea on the movies & specials though. |

23 episodes?
That...should put Season 1's first half at the end of the Nephrite arc, which, to me, is pretty fitting. |

Thanks NJ_, for that info. 23 episodes, not bad if it completes an arc that's good enough. So I'll keep an eye on that. Hopefully it will be available before the fall semester. We have all the books so it will be complete tie in. Now the collection can be complete with Utena and now SAILOR MOOOOON!!! I know this will get a lot of circulation. |

I just checked and the end of that arc is at 24 so we're looking at a cliffhanger here. |

I never gave up hope either. I've said over and over it's coming back. Just be patient. It's too profitable of a franchise to stay gone. As for Justin, we didn't hear anything from him when the manga came back and I doubt we'll hear anything now. People usually don't like to admit when they're wrong. On to another subject, I just checked out Linda Ballantyne's Twitter out of curiosity. Not that any of us are surprised, she hasn't been contacted about taking part in the redub. But I found her tweet interesting. https://twitter.com/LABallantyne/status/468186633754669056 "I know we have not been asked as of yet and I'm not holding my breath." Who is she referring to when she says "we?" Did the entire main dub cast confirm to her they weren't contacted either? If this whole "wait and see" means Viz got some of the DiC/CWi cast back, then I can be patient and wait for the big reveal. But if that's not the case and they got all new voice actors, it's not really fair to psyche us out. BTW Don't count on Vince Corazza since he lives in New York. |

When Ms. Ingram was asked about this in the panels, she did admit that, while they would do their best to break the sets in appropriate place, cliffhanger breaks in one or two of the seasons might be unavoidable. |
