Viz gets rights to Sailor Moon

[melodys_angel]

My friend poked me about hat yesterday

Should be good

[kaoskat]

That's awesome!

I'm just so freaking happy about this, there's just so much that the original dubbers ruined when they got their hands on the orignal Sailor Moon, its why Toei and them refused them the rights to Stars. So so glad we're getting Stars dubbed.  -flail flail flail-

YES!!!!! The music from the English dub was awesome! I have both the soundtracks that they released in the US. I would hate to lose those songs forever.

I am so excited!!! Ahhhhhhhh! Sailor Moon was also my first anime and a serious obsession for me growing up xD I still am so passionate about it! I am also one to admit I liked the original dubbing as well since it was what I grew up on xD I cannot wait!! I can't remember if they said they are going to do the movies as well? If they do I really hope they keep the English ST. X
And I am so excited for Crystal!! I just hope the style grows on me when I actually see it in action. I still don't know how I feel about it at this point x3

That is awesome! I looooved Sailor Moon! I hope they do the entire thing- no cuts...

Do those two girls that I forget their names actually get to be a couple in the no cut version?

I read that yes, Uranus and Neptune will be a couple this time around like they're supposed to be and every character will be the gender they were supposed to be.

Wow I really hope that's true.  I never did watch the English versions when I realized that they had changed the stories all around, sliced and diced a TON of animation, and made it so that Uranus and Neptune straight.  So irritating.

I feel like the only person who's never seen or even really heard of Sailor Moon xD

Yay thats great! So much stuff got cut in the original dub.. And I can't wait for the reboot this summer! I feel like I've been waiting forever for it to come out I love me some Sailor Moon.

That's totally okay!    You can watch it and get all excited WITH us!  Just like ponies!

The first four (JPN/sub) episodes are already up on Viz's site and Hulu, I am so excited!!!

Not only that, but they made them "cousins", and they would never "shut up" about that in the show. xD
They also kinda goofed up on it, since I recall one particular episode when I was a kid, when Uranus and Neptune were the only same-sex pair in a "best friends" competition. Even thought I didn't know they were actually a couple in the original version, I knew something was up.

I was talking to my best friend about this. (She introduced me to Sailor Moon and anime.) She told me that Viz couldn't get the rights to the original English dub.

Does anybody know who currently holds the rights to the English dub? I know it was made by Dic, but I have no idea if they are even still in business.

Oooh... so much money about to go out the window soon... I can't wait! The trailer looks awesome as well, and Usagi's new voice is interesting!

I remember watching Sailor Moon as a kid, and I was so giddy about it. Then they stopped airing it on Toonami :/

I wish they would keep the names(I.E Serena) produced by 4Kids, but it looks like they aren't

funimation i think had the rights if i remember but they're no longer producing the old series anymore due to the new license going over to Viz

I think it was Toei and Naoko's decision to completely pull the series, since Dic and Funimation  kinda really butchered the show. and i'm kinda happy they're keeping it more true to the Manga
