The Sailor Moon Crystal movies become “Eternal” in 2020!
Last…but not least…
This was the big news everyone was waiting for since Osabu announced it back at Anime Matsuri, in 2018. The two-part Sailor Moon Crystal movies project officially got a name, Sailor Moon Eternal, and they will be in theaters in 2020! The teaser trailer showed new visuals by the returning character designer from the classic 90s anime, Kazuko Tadano, and returning series director from Season III, Chiaki Kon.
The script writer for the movies will be done by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu, who also scripted episodes of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure series, Beyblade, PriPra, and X TV series, among many more.
The teaser trailer also revealed the returning seiyuu cast from the Sailor Moon Crystal series, which you can see below. The movies will cover the Dream Arc of the series, so it’ll be interesting to see where the first part ends and second starts.
If you want to learn more about Kazuko Tadano, please look at Tuxedo Unmasked’s article about her recent interview, in which she kinda teased this movie, here. For now, enjoy the teaser trailer for it!
