The first key image of the new Sailor Moon anime has been revealed...

The series will be titled Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal.

A synopsis was also released...

Usagi Tsukino is a second-year middle school girl who is a little clumsy and a crybaby, but she is full of energy. One day, she meets Luna, a black cat with a crescent moon on her forehead, and she transforms into Sailor Moon, a sailor-uniformed pretty guardian of love and justice! As a chosen guardian of justice, Usagi seems to have a mission to find the Illusionary Silver Crystal with the other guardians and to protect the princess.

Meanwhile, the queen of the Dark Kingdom, Queen Beryl, also sends minions to the town where Usagi lives to obtain the Illusionary Silver Crystal, which has immense power. This causes strange events to unfold….

Can Sailor Moon really find the Illusionary Silver Crystal with the other Sailor guardians, and protect the princess…!?

The series will begin streaming worldwide on Niconico in July.

There is also currently a countdown on the official web site. (It is currently at 8 days.)

Lightning syndrome.

"I beseech you, ancient spirits of the moon...please give me an ass"

 

[Beth Cyra]

The art looks amazing. I love the hair.

I won't be watching the new anime, but I really hope it's just as special to old and new fans as the Original Anime/Movies are to me.

 

[Replicant]

She has that weird Escaflowne figure and face. This is not done by the same character design as Escaflowne, is it? I hate the character design on that series.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

where the ass at doe

Wow lol.

 

[Courage]

where the ass at doe

Would berry.

 

[Satch]

BUT WHERE IS MARS

 

[iGeodude]

That's a nice picture. I can't wait to see some Sailor Moon in HD.

 

[RiderKairuu]

Can't wait to see my waifu Jupes!

 

[Divvy]

That left arm is freakishly long

 

[Regulus Tera]

Implying the show is actually gonna look like that.

What's important here is more the confirmation of the title and the news that it is gonna cover the same stuff as season one.

 

[Prompto]

Wait a minute the characters in Sailor Moon are middle school students?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Is she still winning love by daylight?

 

[Satch]

wait

middle school?????????????????????????????

 

[BocoDragon]

Wait a minute the characters in Sailor Moon are middle school students?

The schoolgirl outfits never tipped you off?

 

[Hours Left]

Wait a minute the characters in Sailor Moon are middle school students?

Middle school in Japan. (aka High School in North America)

 

[G-Fex]

where the ass at doe

 

[Beth Cyra]

Wait a minute the characters in Sailor Moon are middle school students?

Yeah

Usagi/Sailor Moon is 15
Rei Hino/Sailor Mars is 16

Unless you are talking about their future selves, then they can be hundred of years old, but they still look like teenagers.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

She has that weird Escaflowne figure and face. This is not done by the same character design as Escaflowne, is it? I hate the character design on that series.

Looks much more similar to the original manga.

 

[wenis]

guess im gunna watch sailor moon now...

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

BUT WHERE IS MARS

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

[Slayven]

It's no Pretty guardian

 

[chickdigger802]

if jupiter's ass isn't half shown during her henshin, i'd be disappoint.

 

[Envelope]

I believe the new series is going to more closely follow the original manga, compared to the old series which wasn't afraid to do its own thing at times.

 

[Replicant]

Looks much more similar to the original manga.

Hmm, never seen the manga before. It looks kinda weird IMO. Not that I like the super-chibi design the old anime can morph into sometime but I wasn't expecting this either.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Well then just prepare to be disappointed.

Not too big on some staff, but hey, what can possibly go wrong?

 

[Prompto]

Middle school in Japan. (aka High School in North America)

Yeah

Usagi/Sailor Moon is 15
Rei Hino/Sailor Mars is 16

Unless you are talking about their future selves, then they can be hundred of years old, but they still look like teenagers.

Oh alright. Never knew that.

 

[KamenSenshi]

Finally an image and it looks far better than I expected.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Wait a minute the characters in Sailor Moon are middle school students?

Also, looking forward to seeing my old waifu Ami.

 

[Hours Left]

Finally an image and it looks far better than I expected.

Yeah, I was worried that the artstyle would be slanted too much in the manga style, which I'm not too fond of. I think this is a good balance.

 

[cajunator]

SQUEEEEEEEEE

 

[Zoe]

Middle school in Japan. (aka High School in North America)

No, they start off in 8th grade. High school doesn't happen until the fourth arc in the manga, Stars in the anime.

 

[Spinluck]

SQUEEEEEEEEE

smh..

Spoiler

my waifus are back

 

[Popnbake]

That looks like a nice design for the reboot.

Wait a minute the characters in Sailor Moon are middle school students?

When Yu Yu Hakusho started, Yusuke was 14 in middle school.

Those teens don't mess around. >.>

 

[Witchfinder General]

Looks a lot closer to the manga. My wife is going to love it.

 

[Hours Left]

No, they start off in 8th grade. High school doesn't happen until the fourth arc in the manga, Stars in the anime.

I forgot they weren't in highschool until halfway through.

 

[Rayis]

Please have Moonlight Densetsu as opening again plz

 

[ganon]

Looks good. Still remember the huge fandom when it was airing.

 

[ramoisdead]

It looks alright. Now show me some Ami Mizuno.

 

[SouSouRocket]

Loving the manga-style look!!! <333 will it be available with subtitles anywhere? Maybe I should just learn Japanese now...

 

[meijiko]

Beautiful promo image. I wonder what the actual series will look like.

 

[suzu]

Aw yisss.

 

[lmpaler]

Holy shit this is still around?! Next you'll tell me they still make DBZ movies

 

[Envelope]

Loving the manga-style look!!! <333 will it be available with subtitles anywhere? Maybe I should just learn Japanese now...

It will indeed be available for english-speaking countries, and possibly other countries as well.

 

[Namikaze]

Looks really nice, better than expected.
