Some pretty big news today concerning the, what looks to be, return of Sailor Moon!
Almost immediately after the announcement that the rights to Sailor Moon have been released and that the show would once again be airing in Italy and Japan a press release was released announcing a brand new Sailor Moon mobile phone website for users in Japan.
The website offers Sailor Moon mobile phone ring tones (currently the Japanese theme, HEART MOVING and Sailor Star Song) as well as animated downloads and soon (not yet online) all 200 episodes of the anime for download to handsets.
If you have a phone that's web capable, you can check out the site at it's address: http://www.smoon.jp.
Some things worth mentioning is that in the footer of the page the PNP can be seen, showing that Naoko is still involved in the franchise and that there hasn't been any major change in ownership. It's also interesting to see that the Japanese logo for the series simply says "Sailor Moon". There is no mention of "Pretty Soldier", "Pretty Guardian", etc.
Possible re-branding of the series? It's possible (though by no means confirmed).
Exciting times!

Have you seen this interview yet? It took place last week and features the Japanese voice actress of Sailor Moon. Most of it's just small talk though it mentions that besides Sailor Moon, her favourite characters are Sailor Uranus and Neptune because she feels the characters appeal to the adults who watch the show.
In site news, I've just added Sailor Moon television Air Times onto the right side navigation to make it easier for everyone to find out when Sailor Moon is returning and airing in their country. If your country isn't there yet, that means that there has yet to be any information it airing yet. If and when such info is announced I will of course add it.

The creator of Sailor Moon, Naoko Takeuchi has been known for a while now to refer to herself as "Princess". Have you ever wondered what kind of person would talk like that? Now you know. Check out this interview with Naoko Takeuchi on YouTube HERE. Being shy is one thing but honestly she seems a bit (I want to say "socially awkward") well... stoned. You be the judge. Thanks to BSSMLA for the link!
Speaking of BSSMLA, looks like their Sailor Moon panel is a go again! If you're going to Otakon, check it out!
Genvid has a cool article about Sailor Moon being ranked in a government top 100 list in Japan.
The famous ChibiMoon Project has updated their site with a new look (kind of) and some new "experiments". If you've never been here, you need to!
