You forget that Usagi is Aoko and Ami is Mana.

[Caster]

So it's finally happening? This will be interesting. I'll try and get my friend to watch this.

[Break]

Funnily, reruns of the old series are running on Viva right now.

I was more pointing out famous roles they've done.

[Rainrir]

Can Kotono still do her high-pitched, motor-mouth Usagi voice...?

Better get those lozenges handly.

[Rowanism]

Kotono is voicing Usagi. All's right with the world.

Better get those lozenges handly.

Hunter x Hunter shows that she can (she voiced a minor character there, but still).

This time, I'll watch Sailor Moon without pretending that "Itotallywasn'twaitingforthenextepisodebecauseImno tafag" mentality I had in grade school.

How long do you guys think the series is going to be? I'd imagine that they can squeeze at least 50 episodes (~3 seasons) out of it.

[Mashina]

I marathoned the entire series a few months ago in preparation for this. Nice to be finally getting a concrete release date.

Depends what approach they're going to be taking. They could draw it out to ridiculous lengths like the old one did, or they could just be going for a quick series to revive interest in it. The manga is ridiculously short compared to the old anime after all. The first arc would probably be able to fit in 1 cour with room to spare.

[The Geek]

I think they did say it was supposed to be a more manga faithful adaptation. Like FMA Brotherhood compared to the original series.

[Rainrir]

The are releasing it bi-weekly.

There is no chance this is 13 ep, Sailor Moon is too big for that.

However, the "old series" number of episodes (30-50) feel unlikely, because bi-weekly means it will run for years.

Probably 20+.

[Arashi_Leonhart]

If you go by volumes and assuming they're adapting the entire thing, 3-4 cour seems likely to me, depending on how they pace it.

The old series was over a hundred episodes long.

It's only releasing every other week? Or two episodes per week?

[Arashi_Leonhart]

The old series was chalk-full of filler and had a slug's pacing. And they're releasing one episode every other week.

[The Geek]

Seems the series is going to be airing during Prime Time in Japan. 3:00 AM where I live, so there'll probably be subs by the time I wake up on Saturdays.

To be precise, it'll be released on the first and third Saturday every month. So, a bit less than biweekly.

[2Bad]

All this schedule bullshit's irrelevant because KOSHIMIZU JUPITER HELL FUCKING YEAH.
