“Attack on Moon – Alien Advance” Sailor Moon/Attack on Titan shirt for sale at Qwertee today

Posted on September 5, 2013 by Adam

Here’s another great shirt for sale at Qwertee today only. This “Attack on Moon – Alien Advance” shirt features Princess Serenity and Queen Beryl during the destruction of Silver Millennium in a design referencing the popular Attack on Titan anime and manga. The shirt is on sale until 6pm EST September 5th. The Japanese writing says “Shingeki no Uchūjin” which translates to “Attack of the Alien”. Queen Beryl would be the alien. She is from Earth but since she is attacking the Moon she is technically an alien from their perspective. The “Attack on Titan” image below should illustrate the similarity.

Miss the sale? That’s fine. You can always buy this design on Red Bubble. You can also check out the rest of the artist Gilles Bone’s Red Bubble store as well as his Facebook, Twitter, deviantART or tumblr pages.

Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter Legend Studio figure prototypes

Posted on August 13, 2013 by Adam

A few weeks ago we had our first look at the Sailor Moon prototype for Legend Studio’s line of figures at the ACG HK 2013 convention. Sailor Mars and Jupiter’s prototype figures, seen in this picutre, were unveiled the next day. I had no idea this had occurred until I read about it on Sailor Moon Collectibles yesterday. This image comes from this Chinese page on the Japanese Geocities. That’s right, in Japan Geocities is still a thing.

We also now have a better look at the Sailor Moon figure in colour courtesy of NextMedia. We previously saw what this figure looked like from a photo of a standee but now we have a photo of the actual figure.

As we had previously seen there are a lot of different swappable faces. Here is a good look at all six of them.

Download the August 4th Sailor Moon Niconico live event

Posted on August 5, 2013 by Adam

If you don’t speak Japanese and didn’t get up at 4am on Sunday to watch the Sailor Moon event that was streamed on the Niconico web site you can now check it out. Miss Dream has fan subbed the event and made it available for all to download! There is a direct download and torrent on the site.

This event lasted roughly 90 minutes and mostly centered around information about the new musical Sailor Moon La Reconquista. There was also a quick look at some of the upcoming merchandise, a performance of Moonlight Densetsu by Momoiro Clover Z and a very small amount of information about the new anime, which we covered in a post that went online on Sunday.

Thanks to the staff at the Miss Dream web site for getting this translated so quickly!

The new Sailor Moon anime will begin airing this winter on Niconico

Posted on August 4, 2013 by Adam

The Sailor Moon live event is now over. We didn’t learn a ton but it was mentioned that the new Sailor Moon anime would begin airing this winter. It was also mentioned that it would be streaming on Niconico, a Japanese streaming video service. Fumio Osano was in attendance but didn’t have much to tell us. Not much else was learned aside from it being based on the old anime but not being a remake, which is fairly vague.

The event began with a look at various products we’d already talked about on this site. It then included an introduction to certain cast members of the new musical, Sailor Moon La Reconquista. In attendance were Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars, Sailor Venus as well as all four of the Shitennou. Finally a performance of Moonlight Densetsu was done by Momoiro Clover Z who were confirmed to be doing the theme song for the new anime, which is information we already had. Also unchanged was the quality of Momoiro Clover Z’s performance.

The event closed with a fairly anticlimactic Q&A. The reaction of the sleep deprived fan base seems to be mostly disappointment at this early hour. It’s safe to say everyone was hoping for a bit more information about the anime. Be patient Moonies! Winter is coming. Now go home and go to bed.

Bandai’s Sailor Mars S. H. Figuarts figure in colour

Posted on August 4, 2013 by Adam

The colour version of Bandai’s S. H. Figuarts figure was unveiled last weekend at Wonder Festival 2013. We don’t really have more details about this figure at this point but the price should be similar to the Sailor Moon and Mercury figures which we already know more about.

More news about the new Sailor Moon Anime may be coming this Sunday

Posted on August 3, 2013 by Adam

This Sunday, August 4th, there will be a live web video event on the Niconico site. This was announced on the official Sailor Moon site. This event is going to be similar to last year’s event where the anime was first announced. They will be discussing the new Sailor Moon anime, the upcoming musical and other new merchandise. The update on the musical will include a performance by the cast. We’re certainly hoping to get some concrete information about the new anime since very little has been officially announced since last year’s event. The event will occur at 5pm local time in Japan which is 4am Sunday morning here in Norther America’s Easter Standard Time zone.

If you are interested in following the show live I would suggest heading over to the Miss Dream web site. They will have a live stream of the show with live translations over twitter. In addition once complete they plan on subbing it for all to enjoy. It was following Miss Dream’s twitter account that I first learned about the new anime moments after it had been announced last year.

We’ll be sure to update this site with any relevant information as it comes in. Posting on the site might not be my top priority at 4 or 5 in the morning on a Sunday but I will strive to share information as it is relevant and urgent as time permits. Keep an eye on our Twitter and Facebook pages for information that’s breaking and not yet posted to the blog. At the very least I will be retweeting and posting short updates about anything important on those social media sites. As always we encourage our readers to join the conversation on those pages.
