The First Images And Details Of ‘Sailor Moon Crystal’ Have Finally Surfaced!

For anime fans, the last few years have been a long, sad wait for the new Sailor Moon series that was promised. After a good year consisting of silence, small teasers and many tears of impatient fans, details on the new series have FINALLY surfaced. Let me just say that after seeing what’s been developed, it was worth the wait.

Officially titled Sailor Moon Crystal, the series will follow more closely with the manga in both story and artstyle. Bringing together the original five Sailor Senshi, (Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus), fans both new and old will get a chance to enjoy these classic characters that served as many a fan’s first foray into this crazy world of anime.

The best news? The series debut is right around the corner, scheduled to debut on July 5th. To make great news even better, the show will be simulcast courtesy of Niconico, meaning we’ll all be able to watch the show unfold as it airs!

The synopsis for the show’s website states:

“Usagi Tsukino is a second-year middle school girl who is a little clumsy and a crybaby, but she is full of energy. One day, she meets Luna, a black cat with a crescent moon on her forehead, and she transforms into Sailor Moon, a sailor-uniformed pretty guardian of love and justice! As a chosen guardian of justice, Usagi seems to have a mission to find the Illusionary Silver Crystal with the other guardians and to protect the princess.

Meanwhile, the queen of the Dark Kingdom, Queen Beryl, also sends minions to the town where Usagi lives to obtain the Illusionary Silver Crystal, which has immense power. This causes strange events to unfold….

Can Sailor Moon really find the Illusionary Silver Crystal with the other Sailor guardians, and protect the princess…!?”
