Sailor Moon Crystal Season III Preview

Over the past weekend, there was a Sailor Moon Crystal panel from Anime Japan, with guests Kotono Mitsuishi, Junko Minagawa, Sayaka Ohara, Yukiyo Fujii (VAs of Sailor Moon, Sailor Uranus, Sailor Neptune, and Sailor Saturn respectively), and the new series director, Chiaki Kon. After the discussed various topics including the new art style, and how the new cast felt about working alongside Kotono and the rest. What’s interesting is what they showed. And below is the official clean opening and closing for season 3, alongside the clip of what to expect.

OPENING: “In Love With the New Moon” by Etsuko Yakushimaru

CLOSING: “Eternal Eternity” by Junko Minagawa & Sayaka Ohara

NOTE: Skip to 1:31, to see the scenes. Around 5:54, Kotono dropped something, and the camera backed out to see what was going on, during the Haruka x Michiru scene.
This was from Moetron’s Youtube channel. Thanks to Moetron for this! :D

Also, we heard from AnimeNewsNetwork, that this season will have 13 episodes. The manga covers 12 chapters of this arc (Acts 27 thru 38), meaning only one chapter will be split into two episodes, while the rest will be like seasons 1 and 2, with the episode covering a manga chapter.

As for streaming rights, we have not heard from either Crunchyroll and/or Viz Media, if they’ll stream this season. Viz’s rep, Charlene Ingram, and a rep from Crunchyroll, are in Japan, and we should be hearing news from them soon.

For now, all we can do is wait. Hope for good news, Dreamers!

Sailor Moon does commercials for Cocola BB Joma


A series of commercials for Cocola BB Joma showed up, over the weekend, sampling Sailor Moon Crystal season 3’s animation in the process.

Cocola BB Joma is an energy drink for people who want to lift their spirits and display even greater potential than usual. What’s interesting is that Joma, in Japanese, is backwards for Majo (or witch), and is marketed with a magical theme.
It’s slogan is “Cast a spell of happiness,” which sounds mighty familiar. hmmm… ;)

PERSONAL NOTE: Business suit Usagi is the best…even with her glasses on. :P

As we called it, in our last update, the season premeire is set for April 4th on Japanese network: TOKYO MX. As for other networks, here’s when they’ll air the season premiere:

All Times are Japan Military Time
TOKYO MX – every Monday at 23:00, starting April 4th
Sun TV – every Tuesday at 24:00, starting April 5th
TVQ Kyushu – every Friday at 25:58, starting April 8th
Hokkaido TV – every Sunday at 25:05, starting April 10th
TV Aichi – every Sunday at 25:35, starting April 10th
BS11 – every Tuesday at 23:30, starting April 12th

This also indicates that this season will be a weekly airing, instead of bi-weekly, when they aired the first two seasons in 2014. No more waiting for two weeks, to see what’s going to happen next! :D

Now, we await some news throughout March, of when the world will get to see it via streaming services like Crunchyroll and/or Hulu/Viz.

As for other stuff, let’s lay it all on the table:

  • The opening theme, “In Love with the New Moon”, will be performed by Etsuko Yakushimaru, who also sung the cover of Otome No Policy, from the 20th Anniversary album.
  • The ending theme, “Eternal Eternity”, will be a duet of Sailors Uranus and Neptune voice actresses, Junko Minagawa and Sayaka Ohara. This is the first time, since the 90s anime, that actual voice actresses sing a song, that will be played within the series.
  • Transformation sequences will be brand new and hand-drawn, rather than CGI.
  • Series director, Chiaki Kon, told us that this season will be more loyal to manga than the first two arcs.
  • Like the first two seasons, they will stick to the chapter-per-episode format…except for some, which will be divided into two episodes, due to certain manga chapters in the manga being long.
  • And yes, they even added some funny faces, that Naoko Takeuchi wanted to include.
  • One more to point out: Wanpak, notorious for weird animations in certain episodes of the first 2 seasons, has returned to animate certain episodes of this season, as @aers00 pointed out, that they worked on episode 6 in January, 2016. You can see it here.

So, there’s A LOT to look forward to, coming April 4th! Let’s hope there’s a Moonlight Party for the premiere…I’m talking to you Viz. :P
