A New Anime Series and Keiko - Sailor Moon Roundup 

Quite a few people have known about this for a while (including myself) how Amazon had been selling a bootleg Sailor Stars DVD box set on their site for the past two years or so. It was unprofessional on their part and definitely sent the wrong message to bootleggers and fans everywhere. Anyway, for some reason Amazon has finally removed it from their listing. This was most likely due to all the publicity it got recently with both ANN and Genvid writing articles about it in the past several days. Keiko Kitagawa who played Sailor Mars (and was the best actress on the live action show in my opinion) has been quite busy here in Japan. A few weeks ago she started advertising a new diet water drink called "Lets" (check out the official site for a full Keiko workout!) and just this week she's scored a gig, starring opposite some of the biggest names in the Japanese entertainment industry in a tv drama style commercial for DoCoMo (Japanese mobile phone company). Check out the whole campaign HERE. Too bad it isn't a real series. It looks really cool! On a bit of a Keiko buzz, I checked out her blog and found THIS! Looks like her and Ayaka (who played Sailor Venus in the live action Sailor Moon show) are still friends and hang out whenever they can. It's nice to see stars from the same show genuinely being friends. And now a really cool project that I've come across, Sailor Moon UNIVERSE and fanmade 6th season of the anime! It uses footage from the existing 5 seasons as well as clips from computers games and other sources with a new script to create and all new storyline! The editing is really well done and the opening and closing themes are incredible! Unfortunately their official site is just plain bad and makes finding the files to watch impossible so here are the link you'll need. First episode torrent! There are several clips on YouTube. Here's the first opening which is just amazing (email and feed readers click HERE): And here's the ending (if you can't see it, click HERE): There's also a new opening HERE. Such a good time to be a Sailor Moon fan with this and the new Sailor Star dub! Like this site?
