Sailor Moon Tidbit

Date: Tuesday, May 07, 2002

Knowing how many people from the Sailor Moon lists and sites have migrated over here over the years, I thought it was worth mentioning that Anime Daisuki, the site that keeps track of Japanese shows and broke the news on the second season of Big O before anyone else, is now listing a Sailor Moon X series to air in Japan this fall. Going by comments in the forum, the X may very well stand for "10", with 2002 being the tenth anniversary of the show. While the region 2 DVD releases of the existing seasons appear to have stalled momentarily, the original episodes are enjoying a revival with many rebroadcasts throughout Japan as well as the strong success of the musical and the continual release of new merchandise. It shouldn't be too much of a surprise that Toei has gone back to the well for more, though I'm curious if there are any US companies who may have a hand in the new series.
