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! ~ Your Fellow Moonie, Brad
Find the Sailor Moon information or media you're after with this site search. Remember you can browse the site via the links above.
First things first! BIG congrats in order for Kali, the webmistress of the fantastic Kirari-PGSM.net who just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Ayaka502.net has a great new layout and pics for Ayaka (PGSM Venus) fans!
Moon Chase did some good research and found that the Sailor Moon manga is back in print in Japan and has outsold Dragonball in at least one store. Exciting news for manga fans. An English rerelease of the Sailor Moon manga is honestly only a matter of time at this point with everything that's been going on but as of now nothing has been confirmed one way of the other. Fingers crossed though.
German Sailor Moon DVDs Sailor Moon Rights and More!
Well it's been a very big week. Got some bad news but to counteract that a lot of good news too!
Let's get the bad news out of the way first so we can end on a good note.
Turns out the person that was impersonating Sarah Lafluer (Sailor Ueranus) was also impersonating Linda Ballantyne (Sailor Moon #3). Pretty shocking, maddening and depressing. This person had even started up a personal blog pretending to be Linda and was posting personal photos, etc. I'm glad I wasn't the only one fooled. Her Twitter account has been deleted and legal action has been taken.
I would like to remind everyone that impersonating celebrities is not cool. It hurts the person you're impersonating and also hurts the fans. If you are using a Sailor Moon voice actor, actor, singer, etc's name for your username on any site please change it. Even if you're convinced that you're doing it for the star, it's illegal, is a crime, hurts the person you're impersonating and also confuses fans and websites alike.
Now on to the good news!!!
Toei is officially selling the rights to Sailor Moon! This is a HUGE step in getting Sailor Moon back to English speaking countries! Whether you want a redub, a resub, a remastered rerelease of the existing dub or all of the above (like me!) this is very good news. Here's hoping someone buys it!
Speaking of Sailor Moon being rereleased around the world, SailorMoonWorld.it reports that a German magazine mentioned that German companies are now after the rights to rerelease the series on DVD in Germany. Great news for German fans (which I know there are a few of who read Moonkitty.net!).
A fantastic fan just told me about this new Sailor Moon fan film and it looks absolutely amazing! How has noone ever heard of this project? Just look at this trailer! Can't wait for this!
The revamped Three-Lights.net continues to post some super content!
What I think is the oldest Sailor Moon fansite, Castle in the Sky has a new address. Still has great info after all these years.
Did you ever want the DiC music in the English dub of Sailor Moon S and SuperS? Me too. Someone has done a great job of mixing in the music from the first two seasons into an episode from Sailor Moon S and I like it! Check it out for something different! Part 1, Part 2 & Part 3.
Another great fan effort with checking out is this amazing Chinese cosplay group's retelling of the end of the Silver Millennium! Part 1 + Part 2!
Moon Sticks is back, turning one year old and has a new comic!!!
Well I didn't end up winning tickets to the special DVD promotional event held in Japan this last Sunday but doesn't look like I missed out on that much. From what I've heard nothing major was announced and it was pretty much your typical Japanese interview panel.
All five Japanese voice actresses for the Inners appeared as did Naoko Takeuchi. Surprisingly though the voice actresses were interviewed more than the creator of the series.
The official site has updated with a new layout for December. Final layout for 2009?
Hope you're all having a great December and looking forward to any number of celebrations you may have planned this month!
Only 7 days until the first Sailor Moon DVD Box Set is released!!! EEEEEEKKKK!!!! This time next week I just may have a review of it with screencaps and photos! Check back soon and don't forget to preorder it soon so you get that 26% discount Amazon is offering!
Hey! How's your week going? Been doing some more layout fiddling here and there, trying to streamline the whole site a bit more. Work in progress! I really like the circle Twitter and RSS buttons to the left. Not sure why but circles are cool. ;)
Tokyopop recently tweeted in reply to Sailor Moon: "I wish we could reprint Sailor Moon! If we could, we would, believe you me!" Guess we won't be seeing a manga reprint from them anytime soon. Possibly from Kodansha themselves though.
Welcome to the Sailor Moon Roundup everyone! Hope you've had a great week and a good weekend planned!
Kodansha has pretty much confirmed that they're self publishing in the US now for most of their series. Several existing licenses will still be released by other companies like Del Rey though. No news yet on the Sailor Moon manga, but everyone's expecting something soon especially with the DVDs being rereleased.
HUGE WEEK IN SAILOR MOON NEWS! Toei has started celebrating Sailor Moon's 20th Anniversary and has announced brand new season DVD box sets for every season of the Sailor Moon anime! You can read more about this huge event in my original news post but if you just want to cut right to it and pre-order your limited edition box sets you can get the first box here and the second box here. Amazon.co.jp is offering a huge 26% OFF for pre-orders on these boxes so they're well worth a look. Personally I pre-ordered mine yesterday from them.
Something else that's got me hyped is this preview of the Sailor Stars fan dub! It's a perfect example of why I think the DiC music cues work better (as much as I love the Japanese music). Can't wait for this fourth episode.
It's Friday again so that means Moon Sticks has a new strip online! This week features two of my favourite characters Alan and Anne (Ail and Anne)!
I was surfing around YouTube and found this fantastic clip someone made that mixes the voices from the English version of Sailor Moon S but adds the DiC music cues from the first two seasons and OMG it works really well! Again I love the Japanese music but the DiC music just makes it seem so much more exciting! Someone who commented on the video made an interesting point that thet DiC music cue works with the English voice actors and the Japanese music cues work better with the Japanese VAs. What do you think?
And speaking of fan edits! Check out this new preview for a fan project that mixes existing anime footage extremely well to make a brand new storyline! Looks very promising!
That's about it for the Roundup this week! Because Sailor Moon news in general is heating up though I will be posting any news as it's released, ASAP so you might get posts mid week, etc that are of huge importance!
If you haven't already I highly recommend subscribing to the site feed or following me on Twitter to get the latest Sailor Moon news as it's released.
Sorry for the later than usual news roundup this week! As followers of my Twitter account will know, life just got in the way this week and I was simply too exhausted to compose the Roundup post which requires a lot of energy and time.
Kind of a good thing I waited though, as this morning there's some HUGE Sailor Moon news from Japan! Let's get right into it!
This post over on the Genvid forums alerted everyone to the fantastic news that there will be some new Sailor Moon DVD releases in Japan!
The first DVD Box Set contains episodes 1 - 24 from the first season and is due for release this year in December! (Just in time for Christmas!)
Just yesterday I uploaded heaps of new Sailor Moon avatars (or icons). Almost over 100! You can find the new anime ones here and here as well as some cool manga inspired ones here. These are perfect for Twitter or discussion forums! Just don't place them on your own site! ;)
Some other big news this past week which I posted ASAP on Twitter was the closing down of ADV who was involved in the release of several Sailor Moon VHS and DVDs. Guess we can now completely rule them out of any Sailor Moon rerelease!
Finally, the Sailor Stars Dub has another fantastic preview online that looks (as usual) REALLY GOOD! Someone hire these guys to do the official Stars dub!
And now to finish on a funny note, I present this week's Moonie Music Monday Sailor Moon music video! LOL!
First I have to share with you this very cool looking Sailor Moon Fan Film that's currently after auditions. (Thanks for the heads up Nenoc!)
This clip is absolutely stunning and if this is even a small glimpse at the kind of effects and quality we can expect from the finished film, count me very interested!
Very exciting to see it organised by a fellow Aussie and in the Northern Beaches of Sydney, where I used to live!
God, I'm so happy with this new layout, especially after fixing the side columns last week! I can't stop looking at it! Yay!
Have been going into turbo drive with the Sailor Moon Episode Guides these past few days, writing heaps (and I mean heaps of new episode guides) but haven't got them online yet as my imac DVD drive is busted. Will be buying a new external drive on Monday (PAY DAY!!!) though so you should expect a HUGE content update in a few days time.
Now, is it just me or has the Sailor Moon fandom become really active these past few months? Quite a few fan films coming out or in production and a lot more websites seem to be updating this year than last year. Just goes to show that Sailor Moon isn't a fad after all!
On with the news:
Moon Sticks has the latest strip online featuring Kakyu and the Starlights!
The Deep Submerge Directory has added several sites as well as a new wallpaper and a featured music video by Hikaru Utada!
SailorCosmos.org is celebrating it's 6th Anniversary!!! Congrats!
And Chibiland is celebrating her 8th Anniversary!!!
The original is unintentionally funny enough by itself but their version is perfect! Haha! Even if you love the English version like me, you're sure to get a kick out of this!
Strangely enough, even though the Sailor Moon anime finished about 10 years ago, this year has shown some huge activity in Sailor Moon fan productions!
The first one I found was Sailor Moon & the Return of the Shadows which is using green screen to make some full on cg scenes! They don't seem to have a website, only the YouTube page unfortunately so there's not much info available.
The next one I found was The Last Soldier by Fairydust Productions. They've got some very cool costumes, direction and special effects going on and a very interesting storyline!
Can't wait!
The third one I found really surprised me! It's a Sailor Mars Series that's already up to it's second episode! It's based on the live action Sailor Moon series and continues the story of Sailor Mars using great special effects (ckeck out the transformation scene!!!), music and filming techniques that mimic the official series really closely! 5 stars!
If anyone knows of any other Sailor Moon fan films, let me know!
In other Sailor Moon fandom news, Moon Sticks has her latest comic up, this time featuring the Amazon Trio!
And the fantastic Stars Fan Dub has their second adaption of Sailor Stars online! This project is BRILLIANT! If you haven't checked it out, do so now! Seriously, if Sailor Stars never gets dubbed officially I'd be more than happy to see these guys do it!
Moonkitty.net got three new affiliates this week; Star Dusting, Izumirika.com & Ayaka502.net! The later of which reports that Ayaka (PGSM's Venus) and Keiko (PGSM's Mars) will be starring together in a new Japanese tv drama! Keiko's role seems to be one of the main roles (she's HUGE now in Japan!) while Ayaka's seems to be in more of an extra role. The show is called "Buzzer Beat ～ Gakeppuchi no Hero ～" or "Buzzer Beat ～ Hero on the Edge ～" and will air at 9pm Mondays starting in July.
What else happened this week? Ah, that's right! The Official Sailor Moon Site updated with a new layout, game and mailbag. Interesting to note that one of the letters was from a non-Japanese person. Unfortunately the content itself was not so interesting.
Hope you had a great week and will have an even better weekend!
My new affiliate, Socal Sailor Moon has a brand new layout (up within the last 24 hours!) which is REALLY nice. These are the guys doing the Sailor Moon Musical Live Action Movie so make sure to check them out.
Speaking of Sailor Moon Fan Films, Sailor Moon Obsession, which is a GREAT Sailor Moon blog, reminded me of this German fan film and I can seriously not wait for this! Agreed. Sailor Uranus looks amazing!
The latest Moon Sticks (which I keep calling "Chibi Sticks" for some reason) comic strip is online! As always, hillarious!
Feel like a laugh? Sailor Moon Abridged has bloopers online! Sounds like so much fun!
That promising Sailor Moon Supreme I mentioned last week has uploaded the first volume IN ENGLISH! Remember that English isn't their first language and you'll get a lot more out of it.
Great news for Gaia users (like me!) They finally have REAL Sailor Moon items! Cosmic Moon Broach, Sailor Moon hair and hair clips! SUPER RARE though! If you get one.... give it to me. 'kay? ;)
Joji Shibue who played Tuxedo Mask in the live action version of Sailor Moon (PGSM) reprises his Kamen Rider Hibiki role in episode 18 of this year's Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider Decade.
this is a great side-by-side comparison shot of Episode 200, Italian and Japanese versions. Ever wondered if the final episode could ever possibly be edited? Well it has been, and rather well! (I think anyway)
A BIG hello to all my fellow Tweeple! (Thanks Oprah for that phrase!) A LOT of people having been randomly singing the Sailor Moon theme song on Twitter this week! Great to see!
