Here is the second panel by Terri Hawkes, the voice of Sailor Moon, from this year’s G-Anime convention in Gatineau. In this panel Terri talks about what it’s like working as an actor, writer and director in the entertainment industry. It’s mainly geared towards people who are interested in pursuing this kind of work. There is some mention of her time working on Sailor Moon so fans of the show should check it out.

Also be sure to check out Terri Hawkes’s panel on voicing Sailor Moon as well as the interview I did with her at G-Anime.

All day today, March 12th, this “Tournée du chat noir de la lune” t-shirt is on sale for $10 at Ript Apparel. This is the third time I’ve seen this shirt for sale on one of these shirt a day sites, though it’s the first time I’ve seen it in this colour.

The cat is Luna from Sailor Moon taking the place of the cat from an old poster advertising “Le chat noir”, a French 19th century cabaret which had a touring troupe that advertised with this poster. The French writing on the shirt roughly translates to “Tour of the black cat from the moon”.

At the Toonami panel at the MomoCon anime convention in Atlanta this past weekend a fan asked if they had plans to play the new Sailor Moon anime that will begin airing in Japan this summer. Toonami’s response was only that they were considering it.

Nothing is definitive at this point but Toonami would certainly be a fitting home for the new 2013 Sailor Moon anime as many American fans were first exposed to the original Sailor Moon anime on Cartoon Network’s Toonami block when they started airing the show in June of 1998. The Toonami block of programming, which centres around more action oriented animation included a lot of Anime, returned to Cartoon Network last May after a long hiatus.

Last Monday, on February 18th 2013, voice actress Chieko Honda died following a battle with cancer. She was only 49. Chieko Honda was a veteran voice actor best known to Sailor Moon fans for providing the voice of Tellu of the Witches 5 in Sailor Moon S. Though she only appeared in a couple of episodes of the show, her contribution will not soon be forgotten by fans.

This year at G-Anime Terri Hawkes, the English voice of Sailor Moon had two panels. Here is the first panel where Terri Hawkes discusses her time voicing Sailor Moon.

The next day Terri Hawkes ran another panel on acting, writing and directing as a professional. This panel didn’t have as much to do with Sailor Moon but may still be of interested to fans. It will be posted to the site in the near future.

New figures of Sailor Moon and the rest of the nine Sailor Soldiers will be available in May from Legend Studio.

Sailor Moon Collectibles reports that a few pictures from the ACG Comic Expo in Guangzhou, China from December have surfaced. These pictures show that there will be the nine figures of Sailor Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Pluto, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn. Unfortunately we just get cutouts with no real indication of what the toys would look like for most of the girls but we get a bit more of a look at Sailor Moon herself. There are some CG renders of the Sailor Moon figure and it’s individual parts which gives us a good idea of what the finished product might look like. We see for example that the figure will have a number of swappable faces and by seeing all the pieces we can get a good idea of the articulation the final product might have.

Here’s a great looking shirt showing Sailor Moon as a Geisha which is on sale today only from ShirtPunch.  There sure are lot of Sailor Moon shirts popping up on these sites this week!

The shirt’s artist, Ashley Hay, also designed the Sailor Moon Pies shirt we posted about last year. Check out her web site for more of her work.

Fumio Osana, @osabu8 on twitter, has responded to a fan’s question about how US viewers will be able to watch the new Sailor Moon 2013 anime, asking if it would be available online. His reply was:

@DanielleSwaw yes,you will watch on internet.

Short and sweet. Based on this statement it would seem that international distribution of the show, at least at first, is planned to be done online. How exactly this will be done isn’t specified but it seems reasonable that we will see it on some kind of streaming site. Some sites like Crunchy Roll and Funimation already do this.
