They're in the process of completely remastering and re-dubbing so no more horrid voice acting hopefully and completely uncut!!! so we get to get the series as it was meant to be seen as including all episodes that had been cut out due to sensitive content. They will also be releasing Sailor Moon Stars as well so we literally get the full series now! 

[UrocyonFox]

yay. :3 Stars is my favorite!

Good, I would love to have the entire series all in one box so to speak.

they're going to release as dvd  and blu ray as soon as they're able from what their twitter says. no more paying 200$+ for box sets where one season is completely in Japanese

[elvenwine26]

Well that's exciting.  I'm also pretty jazzed about the the reboot coming out in July.  You're never too old for sailor moon!

Now I know what to buy myself for my B-day!

[jwalraven]

Well then, this makes me quite happy.

SQUEE!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my goodness I'm so super excited for this

Sailor Moon was my very first anime back when it was on television and I still love it just as much as I did back then (And I'm sorry to admit that I actually really liked the original English voices ) I'm thrilled about the new series this year

lol i love the voices too at some points, but there's just a lot of hit and miss that was going on with the english dub like them making the scouts jerks to serena and serena a total brat at times

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 remember watching that when I was younger and telling my sister they were really odd for cousins. 

Anyway wooo my sister will be so excited. She's the Sailor Moon fan, so I'll probably hunt that down and buy it for her. Then watch it myself as well just since it's been so long.

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.

Praise Neo Queen Serenity!!!!!

My mom even misses watching the show. And that says a lot considering that when I first starting watching it she thought I was going to join a cult! 

I wish they would also release the original English dub on DVD just for nostalgia. It may be poorly done, but it had a lot of good qualities and great memories. When it was on tv I taped it every chance I got. I still have all those tapes, but they won't last forever.

Ohhhhhhh goody goody!  *goes a little crazy*

I also love the original Serena and Ami VA's, so I'm really torn between the new voices, and the complete and true translation. Even as a child I could tell that Neptune and Uranus were in love, despite same-sex relationships having been a foreign concept to me.. I'm glad they're going back to that, covering things up just didn't work at all.

I'm also praying they don't keep the original music from the japanese dub, the english music was so much more emotive and identifiable for english-speaking audiences, I loved the Tuxedo Mask theme especially! I missed that so much in the 're-vamp' they did on S and Super S, which was basically just dubbed over the japanese version again, which ruined the continuity for me.

So I'm excited for this, but I'd also love a re-release of the S and Super S in the original english dub, because those were my favourite VA's.

Also excited for Crystal, SQUEE!!
