Hello and welcome to Moonkitty.net, a Sailor Moon fansite dedicated to all incarnations of the series from the manga and anime to the musicals and live action tv series!
Sarah was a joy to interview and offered some great insight into her time on Sailor Moon and Ugly Betty. Thank you Sarah!
Go check it out and let others know about it too!
While I'm thanking people I want to thank everyone who's emailed me recently telling me how much you appreciate Moonkitty.net. I haven't had the time to reply to emails for the past few weeks and will definitely reply soon. Just want to let you all know how much these emails mean to me. They really encourage me to keep the site going and make some new content for you all to enjoy!
The Sailor Moon anime is back in Italy (check out this video) and they've been given the remastered picture! This is looking pretty good for any possible English release getting the new masters as well though it would be hard to use them in the first two seasons as with the edits made and the cool 3D transitions (which I loved!) the audio wouldn't be able to be used with them. S and SuperS though could easily be rereleased with the English dub and new picture quality. Something to think about.
I will be switching the blog posts on Moonkitty.net from Blogger to Wordpress this week so if you're looking at the posts you may see some layout glitches or possibly some broken links. ALL of the posts will be converted so nothing will be lost though it's possible the URL (web address) of some of the posts will change.
Just a heads up.
Once the conversion is complete, making comments should be a lot easier and faster. Any non-blog-post page on Moonkitty.net shouldn't be affected at all. Fingers crossed the transition happens smoothly!!!
Realised my review for the second Japanese DVD Box Set didn't upload properly so just fixed it and uploaded it here.
I know I few of you have been asking for it so hope you find it useful and enjoy the screencaps and photos (I really need to get a digital camera).
In other site news I'm happy to announce my affiliation with ReiHino.net!
Speaking of affiliation I've completely rewritten the Affiliate Application Info Page to be more specific. Plus I added a cute image of a Luna plush! ;)
I have been flat out with work and am in the middle of a 14 day work marathon so have postponed announcing the winner of the PGSM CD + Book competition until around the 18th. I want to do something special for the announcement and just don't have the time right now to do that. Hope you understand!
The Sailor Moon Roundup and Moonie Music Monday combine once again until my work schedule eases up a bit (late March).
I suppose the big news this week was the rumours of Sailor Moon returning to Latin America but as of this writing nothing has been confirmed though official parties are interested in bringing it back.
Thee-Lights.net has some fantastic scans worth checking out! Tuxedo Mirage baby!
A Fruitful Spring has some more PGSM reunion info! Great to see the cast are still friends!
Ayaka502 continues to translate Ayaka's blog for all the English speaking fans. Great work!
BSSMLA (a fantastic site by a great owner) is in the middle of a revision. Can't wait to see what happens!
The Official Site has updated with a new layout for March featuring a cool image of Moon and Mini Moon with braided hair! Actually not sure if I'd seen this image before. Very cool. They've also updated the image page and the character info page.
The Sailor Moon Abridged Movie is online and is pretty funny. Scary how well Sailor Mars' final line suits the scene. lol.
And finally the second Sailor Moon S DVD Box is up for pre order. And speaking of the boxes I just realised my review of the second box didn't upload properly! Will fix it tomorrow morning when I have more time!
The massive international TV channel, Animax sure has been a huge supporter of the Sailor Moon anime recently.
They were the first channel in Japan let alone the world to begin screening the anime after the rights were released (well, relaxed and made open to negotiation anyway) and have done a pretty good job of promoting Sailor Moon in it's Japanese channel's commercials.
Recently Animax has been featuring the Japanese voice actress for Sailor Moon, Kotono Mitsuishi as well as two of the directors of the anime in a show called Creators.
You can see clips of this show on YouTube. Nothing really big to report but they do go into the usual conversation about what it was like in the beginning making the show and how it grew in popularity.
It isn't subbed in English but you can fairly easily get the gist of what they're saying.
For those that don't know what Animax is, it's basically a cable channel that focuses on airing almost entirely anime though also airs random shows like Wipeout. In the past few years it's grown more and more and expanded throughout Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Latin America, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and more! This channel is huge and screens retro animes like Slayers for example but also the latest newest anime like Bleach, Inuyasha and Idaten Jump.
Currently only the Japanese Animax channel shows Sailor Moon but since it has got the license it seems to be a very good idea to keep our eyes on local Animax channels for any future Sailor Moon airing opportunities.
Will keep you posted if I hear anything else!
p.s. Stay tuned this weekend for a combo Roundup and Moonie Music Monday as well as some extra info on some sections and... the winner to the Twitter competition!
Real life has really gotten in the way of my site plans recently and for that I really apologise.
I've been working full time six days a week and any free time I've had has been spent applying and interviewing for new jobs which hopefully will start next month.
For the next two weeks it's really going to hit the fan as one of the companies I work for will be making everyone work on the next two Sundays which means.... 14 days straight of work! Yay! I'll still be updating with any interesting and amazing Sailor Moon news and of course will try my hardest to post the Roundups and Moonie Music Mondays but will most likely combine the two features until late March when my time will free up more.
Now funnily enough, one of the job interviews I went to on Friday just happened to be literally across the road from the Hikawa Jinja that was the inspiration for Sailor Mars' shrine in the manga (different temples were used for the anime and live action versions)! I'd been here once before with Jay from Genvid but that was three or so years ago and I hadn't been since.
Out of curiosity I decided to check out the wish tags and see if there were any Sailor Moon fans who had visited the shrine recently. I didn't really expect to see anything Sailor Moon related but right on the top row were two tags with some amazing Sailor Moon artwork and messages in Japanese that basically read (I will punish you!). Here's the photo I took on my phone of them!
Pretty cool that Sailor Moon fans still visit the shrine on a regular basis!
Now here's your Sailor Moon music video spotlight! In kind of a musical mood right now so thought I would feature one of my favourite songs from the musicals featuring Yu Shirota and Marina, New Moonlight Romance.
I really hope the musicals come back for the 20th anniversary!
Now for the roundup! (busy! busy!)
There's a cool new Italian Sailor Moon poster here.
And finally all the new Sailor Moon CDs seem to be keeping all the same covers of the originals meaning they're just regular rereleases but still a Sailor Moon product release nevertheless. I will be picking up a few as they are pretty cheap and the only Sailor Moon CDs I have are musical, PGSM or NA Dub.
In site news I have updated the Sailor Moon Channel Layout Archive with February's layout. I'll also be getting around to regular site emails and tweets sometime this week I hope (if I have time). Keep sending in Moonie Mailbag questions! I WILL answer them whenever I get the chance. If you haven't been answered yet, don't worry! You WILL be!
That's about it for now! Comment below, follow on Twitter and have a great week!
To save me posting twice within 12 hours of each post I've decided to combine the Sailor Moon Roundup and Moonie Music Monday this week into one post.
Let's start with the music video spotlight! After last week's crazy video I'm getting back into the Glee vibe of things with a rather fun music video to No Air. Unlike the previous No Air video this one is actually sung by the Glee Cast and is simply amazing.
I love the use of dialogue from the anime and it's also interesting how (while it's not) the song sounds like it could be sung by Terri Hawkes (Sailor Moon's voice actress in these clips). The voices are a pretty good match!
Anyway give it a watch and let me know what you think!
In site news I've been thrown for a bit of a loop with Blogger's decision to discontinue FTP publishing. 90% sure I'm going to say goodbye to them and convert to Wordpress. It's just really annoying and frankly it's p*&%ing me off.
On a happier note I've created a new Sailor Moon image gallery with all the new images that have been released lately.
This site is purely a fansite used for entertainment and educational purposes and does not make any claims to Sailor Moon which is 1991-present Naoko Takeuchi, PNP and affiliated parties.
