Manga-verse confirmed, yeah~! <3 <3 <3
I love the manga tons better than the original anime. I wasn't quite sure that they were taking this stance, but with this all being said, I'm happy.

Well, the first arc is only 13 acts. So that right there is good for a complete first season. 
I think some people are overthinking things here. All the signs are pointing to the new anime being a straight up adaptation of the original Takeuchi manga with a few extra original tidbits just to keep the show from being an exact carbon copy of the manga. Besides, creating a new original storyline for Sailor Moon would just be too much work on Toei's part. It's less strenuous and costly to them nowadays if they can just use the manga for storyboards and only add in original bits as they see fit. You already had the franchise move in an original direction in the original '92 anime and again in the '04 live-action series so what other direction can you take it in this time? |

I didn't say specifically that they were making multiple seasons. I just said that they're separating the arcs into different seasons and that the first season would be about the first arc. Also: why wouldn't they? It's highly anticipated and there would just be no way that they would only do one arc of the manga for the new anime and not the rest. |

I just hope they'll animate more than the first arc's worth of material. I liked PGSM and the new La Reconquista musical but I'd like to see the other four arcs.

After hearing about Takeuchi's involvement with the new anime series, I figured it was probably going to be a closer adaptation of the manga, since I know she wasn't too happy about some directions the original series took. I am definitely very excited to see how that turns out, though I do hope they do take the time to flesh out characters who aren't Usagi a bit more, since the other characters are pretty flat most of the time.
It will be interesting to see if it can beat out PGSM as my favourite version of the story! |

Uh...why wouldn't Toei stretch out the arcs if it means extra money? Toei LOVES its long-runners. Don't their seasons usually run at least 50 episodes? |

Looked forward to this until I heard it was a manga retelling. Not so much anymore.

Didn't we know from the start (Summer 2012, IIRC) this new series was a manga retelling? Fan sites back then at least stated as much.
So, the schedule bounced around from Summer 2013 to Winter 2014 to July 2014. If there's another delay I'll...I'll...complain loudly.
Sailor V was supposed to be an anime OVA but that never happened, I guess that's why PGSM (the 2004 live action show) had Act Zero... I'd be super happy if we'd get some Sailor V episodes of some kind, Minako rocks. And the 4 Sailor Guardians ("Inner Senshi") were supposed to get special episodes based on them (I'm assuming the Exam Battle chapters?), but only Ami's First Love was produced.

Hey, Romi Paku, Rie Kugimiya, Kenji Utsumi, and Hidekatsu Shibata all returned for FMA: Brotherhood. Though, yeah, that wasn't more than twenty years after the first series. |

Oh, so I'm assuming Mitsuishi and Furuya will still be reprising their roles as announced back in Summer 2012? No reason Ogata couldn't reprise hers then (assuming this new series doesn't pull a PGSM live action and only cover the first arc/season).
Hell, maybe Toei/whoever will bring back as much of the original (living) cast as possible since this is a special thing. |

All inner senshi except Mars are still working at a good pace. Mars's VA returned for the reunion a few years back or so. The Shitennou... Hm, I think only Jedite is the only one who is doing things... CONSTANTLY. Kunsite's VA passed away. For outer senshi, Pluto retired. Other than her, everyone is still "active." It'd be awesome if we could get any available cast members back. I do NOT want Sailor Moon to turn into some seiyuu idol fest, with Stylips playing the main characters... Or Hanazawa and Toyosaki or something... *shiver* |
