NEWS: Sailor Moon Crystal 1st Promo Video Streamed

It's kind of disappointing they didn't get Tohru Furuya back as Tuxedo Mask. I mean, he sounds exactly the same now as he did twenty, thirty years ago. Because he's a Newtype.

But the trailer makes me a bit jealous. If only Toei put so much effort into Dragon Ball Kai.

So agreed. I love anime 'Fruit Loop' Minako. The manga version was kind of unmemorable. This trailer looks gorgeous - it's making me even more excited to see the new series. Flowing hair, everywhere...I'm...I'm so happy. I like serious Minako from the manga. At least she has to act serious the first time she shows up because she's spoiler[ pretending to be the moon princess. ] She can't act like a goofball when she has a princess to protect. And if I recall she doesn't stay serious so I think it'll be fine. I especially hope Rei's manga personality is in this new anime. I'm looking forward to it.

Hmm, you make a good point. She's not second-in-command in the anime, so that would explain why she's more relaxed and goofy. I did enjoy the flashback to Silver Millennium and how aggravated Venus got by Princess Serenity's flightiness.
I wasn't able to get a really good grasp of the girls personalities in the manga, whereas in the anime, their personalities came through pretty clearly. Either it's because the manga pacing is fairly fast, or because I read it in Japanese and my Japanese is...not good.

Edit: Love that Naoko meme.

The new graphics is poor, and I heard that some lead voice actors from the old Sailor Moon are missing.
I wanted the old graphics to be tuned with the new tech, but no they changed and they failed miserably.
The music is not that old good songs I like to hear and still listening to them (You're just my love. Sailor Stars Theme, etc), where is my first Japan Anime go.

Those.....beads....

I'm disappointed that Tohru Furuya won't be returning as Tuxedo Kamen, especially as he can still do the voice. I was hoping that "the couple"'s seiyuu would at least be retained, or even just Usagi & Luna.

I feel it's either all or nothing. I'm more than fine with new seiyuu for the characters, but having Mitsuishi come back when the others aren't just feels wrong to me.

Yeah, I know...(insert Naoko meme here)

Naoko is still pretty for her age too.

However, PLUTO! IS! STILL! A! PLANET! Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Neptune don't "clear their neighborhoods"! Why is Pluto-Charon any different? It's a binary planet with an ice composition; let's just leave it at that. Ditto Sedna, Quaoar, Eris, Makemake, and all the other little ice worlds beyond Neptune's orbit.
