He directed the R movie and the S and SuperS seasons. He’s most famous for directing Revolutionary Girl Utena and most recently he directed Yuri Kuma Arashi.

Rami, by “I think Alex is right”, you meant Neon Genesis instead ?

Because in fact I agree with you and Neon Genesis. Come on Alex, don’t be so pessimistic .

And the fact that Yukie Sako and Munehisa Sakai have seen their contract expiring doesn’t mean that they won’t be called back by Toei for a new SMC season .

At the beginning, SMC was only designed by Toei for the Dark Kingdom and the Black Moon arcs. It took almost 2 years (or more ? Don’t remember) to be produced and finally aired, after it was endlessly delayed, leaving the fans angry and pessimistic, thinking that they would never get to see Sailor Moon reborn from her ashes. And finally, we had Sailor Moon Crystal.

So I think Toei might be in the same kind of process again. A series takes a lot of reflexion, a lot of time to be produced. The production teams can change from one season to another…

I think Sailor Moon Crystal will be back, like Terminator .

(Er, I feel my English is very lame today, so please excuse the possible mistakes)

Can we please get Kunihiko Ikuhara to direct Crystal season two?

I think Alex is right. TV studios are real dicks about this. They love keeping people on a string while they deliberate whether or not a show will get renewed. They did the same thing with Sleepy Hollow on the Fox network in the States. First the showrunner left after a less-than-fabulous second season, and everyone was saying it was the end. Not too long after that they renewed it for a third season. We might get the same thing here (though I think SMC will have a better 2nd season than Sleepy Hollow, which I doubt will see a 4th).

I hope they dont cancel or are done with the show. May be new directors for better quality to the animation. I love they did stick to the manga but I really would like some fillers, it seems like the whole motion of events happened less than a month.

Oh well one can hope and wish we will have a new SMC by next year.
