Ponderingly, I think this will do just OK to good. I mean, the nostalgia fans will definitely pick it up, but I'm not sure how many new fans it'll garner. Definitely not like back in the 90's when little girls were picking it up, and it was all the rage in Canada, and the Barenaked Ladies were at the top singing about it. I just think Sailor Moon's time had come and passed (and this coming from someone who was in a SM mailing list before most of you probably even heard of it). It's hard to capture lightning in a bottle twice and with the same lightning (it's the same old original manga, not new addition).
That story turned out to be false. They thought he was there for 8 days. Turns out, he was staying at an evacuation center, visited his ruined house, and fell asleep there when the rescue workers found him.
That's not Takeuchi; that's Toei. Back when Sailor Moon was airing all over the world, Takeuchi was asked if she has any influence on the animation side of the business - she said she has none.
Cloverway is Toei's Toronto subsidiary. So if Toei wasn't on their 'A' game, neither would Cloverway be. |

#$%@ YES!!!!!!
Both Sailor Moon and the Sailor V manga to boot! I as many have the orignal 18 volumes from mixxine/tokyopop but if this is an unflipped version I'll be getting them  But I have to wait all the way until September!? I also hope that in this version they'll keep the original Japanese names of our main characters.

No kidding.That is one thing I hope dont happen with this re release. Though what I am really hoping for is that they'll finally be a relicensing fo the anime series and hopefully an uncut english dub version of season 1, R ( even though I still like their DIC counterparts ) and especially the Sailor Stars and hopefully a better dub of S and Super S cause the Pioneer version of the series ( not the movies ) were really unwatchable ,even for a hard core dubber like me. |

I was thinking the same thing, I plan to buy all four volumes of the Dark Horse reprint from my local comic shop, supports them, supports the industry and maybe I can finally own the second half of the anime on DVD (I do actually have the first of the two boxset releases, and it's one of the most treasured items in my DVD collection). I'm still trying to decide whether to buy the Utena remaster: Con side: I already own the entire CPM release and while it doesn't look great, it's good enough to enjoy the show, the set is limited edition and I don't want to deprive someone who's never seen it before of a copy, and it will cost money which I could spend on something I don't already have. Pro side: I'm guessing it'll look and sound better than the previous CPM release, if my older set ever gets irreparably damaged I'll have a replacement, the price is reasonable and I can probably get it discounted, the art for the new set is gorgeous and the release will probably be of a high standard all round since it's Nozomi, I think it has new special features including episode commentaries that weren't on the previous release (I'm only interested if they're from the original version's staff, if it's commentary by the dub team, I don't care)? I can't remember whether they're including the commentaries from the previous release, that will certainly influence my decision. Anyway, back to Sailor Moon! I'm overjoyed at this news, I don't own any of the older release, I'll buy the first volume of this new release in September and if I like it I'll get the rest (I've read a few chapters, I guess I'm just saying that if I'm bored by the end of the first volume then i'll have to pass it up, I really like what I've read so far though). |

ABOUT TIME!!!
Well, seriously, I've been wanting a proper release since forever!! I never got all the Mixx versions because they were so darn expensive ($23AUD a pop). Now with internet shops being so widespread, I'll be able to get all of them! I have all but vols 1 & 2 of the Japanese reprint - hoping the translation will help me to learn more kanji and vocab!

This is wonderful news. I've been telling everyone to stay positive and be patient because it would eventually come back. Glad to see that it's finally happening.
There's something I want to bring up though. I'm not trying to bust anyone out. Oh, who am I kidding. That's exactly what I want to do. Justin Sevakis said on at least 3 occasions how we should give up and abandon all hope because Sailor Moon would never return to the US "unless the stars move". After those bold statements, can we expect backtracking, denial of making those remarks in the first place, or actually owning up to his arrogance of jumping the gun and acting like he knew everything? http://community.funimation.com/fb.aspx?m=333491 |

Shouldn't that be something we just let drop? I believe it was in reference to the anime, anyway, and thus he would know the inside scoop about what's happening with that media. Not that the anime can't return; anything's possible. Just rather unlikely. |

This is awesome. Now I've just gotta figure out what I'm going to do with my full Tokyopop and Kodansha Japan reprint sets.

This is fantastic news! Sailor Moon is one of my all time favorite series and I'm glad to see that the manga is coming back! I'm just hoping now that the anime won't be too far behind. Perhaps we may get a surprise at AX or Otakon!
If the anime does get out of licensing hell, then Justin would either: A) Keep his mouth shut about his past remarks B) Own up to his past remarks C) Point the finger of blame at his sources and play the victim
Well, when you consider that the remarks were made online and made its rounds across all major anime fansites, this isn't exactly something that people are just going to let drop. Anything you say on the Internet can be used against you and considering that everyone was told to "give up" and "abandon all hope", it just came across as demeaning to the fandom. Don't be surprised if there is going to be a lot of "IN YOUR FACE, SEVAKIS!!!" going around the fansites should the anime get licensed again. The fandom, especially in Canada, is bigger than anyone even thinks.
If she has no influence, then why all the hush-hush secrecy? Why didn't FUNimation just rescue the license years ago considering that they're in good terms with Toei? I have a hard time believing that. |

This is an amazing day for Sailor Moon fans! I've always been afraid to re-read my Tokyopop manga too much because it will fall apart, and since I own the Japanese re-releases I always thought it would be so amazing to see them in English. I can't wait until September! OMG, and I get to read Sailor V's story too, at long last! I've never read scanlations and I can't read Japanese, so it will be a totally new experience for me. Pretty awesome for someone who never thought she would see anything new from Sailor Moon for the rest of her lifetime! =)
