New Sailor Moon Anime announced for 2013!!!!

[NovelNerd]

Well, being based on a manga, I'm not sure the SM anime could every be considered truly original in the first place. Or most anime in that case.

Although that does bring up an interesting point...I can think of a few anime that have been remade, but it doesn't seem to be too common.

This is true, and I've yet to see any movie that followed a book very closely as to where it could not be remade. I just you know would rather they make something new than remake something because it did very well back whenever.

Naoko was super upset with the SM English dub and all the changes/edits it made, right? I hope she doesn't stop this new series from being licensed in the English-speaking regions due to her bad past experiences.

Oh yeah, I had almost forgotten about that!  Maybe if they got a good English dubbing studio (Funimation or Ocean) to do the voices, maybe that would give it a better shot at being dubbed in the future   I've always been able to picture Janyse Jaud (voice of Kagura in InuYasha) being the voice of Queen Beryl.  Dunno why though, haha!

(Personally, I prefer to watch things in its original spoken language as opposed to dubs but I like the option to be open for others who don't share my preference.)

Amen to that!  It's really nice to have the option to see either version, depending on what you feel like   Unlike Netflix, where you *only* have one option on the Instant Play.  That really bugs me!  Sometimes I have the willingness to read subtitles and actually sit and watch an anime, and sometimes I just want to have some noise in the background, or watch out of boredom. 

Wow, ok did that go off topic!  Sorry guys!  Back on the topic of Sailor Moon, I *really* hope that there will be lots more dolls and plushies when the new anime comes out!  *desperately wants a Luna plushy*

I hated the voices in the English version of the show and just watched the subtitled Japanese version. I'm sure I'll do the same with this one. While some anime do get a really good English voice cast (Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist & Bleach for example) most do not, so I tend to stick with the subtitled versions. My son used to just watch dubbed anime, and thought he hated One Piece until he watched it in Japanese with subtitles and now it's his favorite anime. Shojo almost always ends up with horrible English dubs, though, (Nana, for example) so my hopes for the new Sailor Moon getting a decent voice cast is pretty low.

This excites me, and I haven't even watched a whole lot of SM (mostly just what I convinced my mom to buy me on VHS when I was younger, lol). It's always been a series I wanted to watch the whole way through though. I'd love to watch the new one from the beginning! Preferably with a GOOD dub or subtitles, like the rest of the world wants. =P

I AM SO PUMPED!

I hope it is based on the manga, because the manga story makes me literally cry every time I read it. It is such a beautiful story!

[Folly]

[xkelpiex]

You guys have noooo idea how amazingly excited I am at this news. I seriously almost peed my panties last night when I found out. And to know that some of the orginal Japanese voices will be returning? Awwww yeah.

Yeeees, to this! I have the Irwin "pretty face" versions of some of the dolls and while they had lovely faces, I wouldn't mind if they released a new set with erm, bodies (and feet) that take more kindly to sharing clothes with other dolls. xD

[Dibbles]

By the way, guys, it's been stated that the villains for the first season are NOT going to be the Dark Kingdom.

a new Furby in 2012
