Just as the way fans consume anime has changed in the last two decades, so has the way animation is produced in Japan. Fans’ won’t get their first chance to see Sailor Moon Crystal by flipping on their TVs, but by signing into video website Niconico, which will be streaming the hotly anticipated anime simultaneously around the world.
#New sailor moon episodes series
While this is the exact time slot that the original television series occupied during its broadcast run in the 1990s, there’s one key difference this time around. Voice actresses for the five Sailor Scouts have been cast (with veteran Kotono Mitsuishi reprising her role as the titular heroine), and an official premiere date and time have been set for Saturday, July 5 at 7 p.m., Japan time. It looks like the producers are serious this time, though. To give you an idea of how long the new series, titled Sailor Moon Crystal, has been in coming, it was originally announced as being part of the 20th anniversary celebration for the franchise, which started in 1992, meaning it’s now been 22 years since Sailor Moon’s debut. Yes, we’ve been told before that the newest animated version of anime’s most successful magical girl troupe was coming soon, and nothing come to pass.
They’ve already got plans that day, even if they don’t know it yet, because that’s the day the new Sailor Moon anime premiers. If any of your pals have even a passing interest in anime, though, don’t bother inviting them to your get-together if it’s going to be on July 5. It’s never too early to start planning some fun summer activities, like getting a group of friends together for a barbeque.
