Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal is a fresh reboot of the classic 90s magical-girl series. Naoko Takeuchi (the original manga artist) was heavily involved in the new production so the story & characters follow closely to the manga.
It first premiered on 5th July 2014 and streamed simultaneously worldwide online for free via Hulu/Neon Alley, Crunchyroll, AnimeLab and NicoNico. It aired on the first and third Saturday of every month.

Getting stoked for this. I only wonder exactly how faithful it’ll be this time around.
Should be pretty faithful since Naoko Takeuchi is heavily involved I hear~
Lookin’ forward.Too bad I need to waste my eye sight by reading the subtitles too much ;(
It’s still better than no subtitles :3 Maybe one day if it’s popular they’ll be dubbed versions, though I personally prefer watching it in Japanese with English subs.
Is she ‘holding’ her Star Seed?
Just asking.
Not a star seed, it’s the Silver Crystal. Though I guess it would be easy to mistake it for a Star Seed.
Whoops! Gomen, gomen! XD
I suppose early on the concept of the Star Seed hasn’t been introduced yet~ so for the purpose of not spoiling the last season, it’s the Silver Crystal and nothing else..*cough* XD
It’s my understanding that the Silver Crystal is her Star Seed :3 The Silver Crystal seems to take various forms and it also appeared in the ‘R’ movie as a flower :)
It could very well be that. I ended up thinking about that when I got up XD
I don’t think the Silver Crystal was actually explained in depth about whether or not it was Usagi’s star seed.
In Sailor Stars in the episode where Usagi’s Star Seed is taken, the title was “The Silver Crystal is Stolen! Princess Kakyuu Appears” I think that’s a pretty good indication it’s the same thing :)
Well, I’m crossing my fingers that it won’t be as awful as Saint Seiya Omega.
I hope so too….
Very cute drawing. :) <3
Thank you so much for your nice comment :D
There’s actually a leak of the trailer 2014 SM if you goggle it >.<
How can you be sure it’s official/legit and not fan made? There’s a lot of unofficial ones…
because there is the copyright of Toei animation 2013. but it is not the full intro, it is only like 1 minute tho.
Unfortunately that is fan-made, it’s 100% unofficial.
ah ic, thanks for confirming it. It’s good to wait for the surprise of the new official Sailor Moon trailer =).
I love your comic strips, they really make my day. How long have you been doing this? Keep it up! =D
No problem! ^___^
5 Years now actually ^^
Can’t wait sailor moon is my favorite anime/manga of all time so I am super happy!!
Let’s hope they put on a good show ^__^
Finally. It was supposed to come out last Summer.
yeah.. but the wait should be over soon :D 3 months to go!!
Unless they delay it again. Mwahaha!
NooOoo don’t say such things! XDDD
having Crystal in the title is nice and sounds pretty too.
Agreed ^___^
I’m kind of new to the video streaming process, does anyone know if Sailor Moon Crystal will stream free, or do you need to pay to watch it? I don’t mind paying (especially for Sailor Moon ^^) I just didn’t know what the deal is.
Hi Crystal!
Unfortunately it’s not known yet whether or not it will be free. Just have to wait for future announcements to be sure. I’m hoping it will be free!
I think niconico will be streaming the first episode free. At least that is what I THINK the website said. My japanese is not perfect xD….
hmmm..I don’t recall that being announced ^^”
