Some pretty big news this week!

As you all know, the rights to Sailor Moon have been frozen both in Japan and Internationally for a few years now which is why the anime hasn't been seen on tv and all the merchandise is now out of print.

A few days ago a poster on the genvid forums mentioned how the anime will once more begin airing in Italy in 2010 and that the rights had finally been released!

Pretty cool news in itself, but wait, it gets better!

Just this week there was a press conference in Japan announcing that the Sailor Moon anime would start airing on the Japanese Animax Channel in September! Kotono Mitsuishi, the Japanese voice actress of Sailor Moon was present for the announcement too.

It's definitely beginning to look like Sailor Moon is making a comeback!

I'll keep you posted as more news becomes available!

Was feeling a bit off yesterday and couldn't post. Thanks for all the get well messages! Feeling a lot better now and have your Moonie Music Monday video!

Check out this great video to a remix of Listen to Your Heart. Some great edits here with the music changes. Well worth a look (plus I LOVE this song!)

What a day! Just added six more complete illustrated episode summaries to the Sailor Moon SuperS Anime Episode Guide.

All misc info, screencaps, shopping links, etc complete! Expect the DVD review for the second DVD online tomorrow and probably a few more long overdue Moonie Mailbag answers!

Thanks for visiting the site and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

First I have to share with you this very cool looking Sailor Moon Fan Film that's currently after auditions. (Thanks for the heads up Nenoc!)

This clip is absolutely stunning and if this is even a small glimpse at the kind of
effects and quality we can expect from the finished film, count me very interested!

Very exciting to see it organised by a fellow Aussie and in the Northern Beaches of Sydney, where I used to live!



You can see the official site HERE.

Ever wonder what happened to Molly / Naru? Moon Sticks has the answer!

Parasoles for a good cause!

I'm currently reading Sakky's Sailor Moon Blog. If you like Sailor Moon (and I guess you do, 'cause you're here), check it out.

That's actually about it this week for Sailor Moon news.

I'll see you in a day or two when I upload some more content... what will it be? Wait and see!

Yes I featured Kaosu last week but I just can't get enough!

Check out this amazing Sailor Moon Music Video!

Some great editing and I love the vine theme throughout!!!

Labels: Moonie Music Monday

What a week! Hope you all had a good one and have something exciting planned for the weekend!

Did a few content updates this week. As well as doing some more meddling with the layout I also answered two more Moonie Mailbag questions; Which came first? Anime La Soldier or Musical La Soldier? and What is Sailor Neptune's mirror attack in the Kaguya manga arc?.

I also wrote a DVD review of the first Sailor Moon SuperS DVD complete with menu screencaps at a new super high resolution! Hope they're not too big, but the previous res I was using for the screencaps seems so small now that I'm on an imac!

Elsewhere on the Moonie web:

Neon Studios has a new behind the scenes clip online!

The new Moon Sticks comic is now online featuring several forms of Sailor Moon. Love the final form! ;)

SailorCosmos.org has some updates. Check them out.

If you haven't checked out The Deep Submerge Directory's new layout. Do so now.

And finally, the official site has updated for the middle of the month with a new animated chapter of the SuperS arc of the manga.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I love xKaosu's videos!

They're always professionally edited with some great music, effects and clips used. He really sets the bar for anime music video makers.

This new video, Monster is a prime example of his skill and artistic vision. Hope you love it as much as I do!

Hope you had a great week! Bring on tomorrow and the weekend, eh? Let's start relaxing early with some Sailor Moon news!!!

(And if you haven't checked out my new Sailor Moon SuperS Episode Guide yet, please have a look and let me know what you think!)

Speaking of SuperS, this week's Moon Sticks comic features the SuperS villains, the Amazoness Quartet! Funny! Funny!

The great blog, Sailor Moon Obsession celebrated it's second anniversary this year! Congrats!

Also celebrating an anniversary is SailorCosmos.org which has turned 6!!! Woo Hoo!

The Deep Submerge Directory has updated with a sizzling hot new layout for summer! Great use of colour and spacing!

StarDusting continues to rock with some interesting computer game info and sprites.

Neo Nobility is revamping in August! Can't wait!

There's another great preview of the English Sailor Stars up here. Looking good!

Sailor Moon Abridged has made a special musical episode featuring those classic (and fun!) songs from the first few Pokemon seasons! Really worth checking out! lol! Over here!

Have what it takes to be a voice actress? Want to be Sailor Galaxia or Sailor Sun?

And I think that's about it for this week!

Before I finish though, I think it's worth mentioning that I've been getting quite a few emails informing me of the Funimation poll by people who have just found it. While I thank you all for informing me of news, the poll is now two months old and Funimation has most likely got what they wanted from it.

I've also seen a few tweets lately by people who have emailed Funimation directly or met Funimation people at cons and have been told that Sailor Moon was just thrown into the poll at the last second out of curiosity and was not a series that they were planning to release.

Of course the HUGE response on the poll now probably has them thinking about getting Sailor Moon (and Sailor Stars) but I don't think the poll was as big as we all originally hoped.

You never know though. Sailor Moon's bound to be rereleased sooner or later. It's only a matter of time.

The last week or so I've been silently working on Moonkitty.net's next project and now it's ready to be revealed, the Sailor Moon SuperS Episode Guide!.

Currently summaries and screencaps for the first six episodes are done as well as several opening and closing credits, the episode bumper / eyecatch and the SuperS Uranus and Neptune Special!

I'll gradually be adding to this guide over the next month or so and will also be doing the relevant DVD reviews (expect the first very soon) and attack guides (not online yet).

Hope you enjoy it and find it useful!

Have a great week!

Let's start the week with some culture!

Hey there! Happy Friday! Before I get onto the Sailor Moon news roundup, some site info! (Yay!)

You've probably noticed a few changes in the site since your last visit (unless you visited 5 seconds ago). I realised that the mac version of Photoshop and the mac as a whole dilutes the colours of images when taking screenshots and saving them. Strange I know as I don't think that serves a purpose at all. Found a way to save the images properly though so resaved all the layout images to make Moonkitty.net look super colourful and sparkly. Can you see the difference?

I've also been fiddling with the side navigation. So much so that if you've visited the site every day this week you would have seen a slightly different variation of the layout! While I loved the two thick column look I've reverted back to the three column design which just functions a lot better and makes the site look more professional.

I've also rewritten the welcome message to make it more concise, added a site search (which I think I already mentioned last time but it's really worth trying) and added my latest Tweets to the nav as well.

Speaking of Twitter, a big hello to my (over 300!) followers! Have got some great site feedback and Moonie Mailbag questions from you guys that I'll be answering this weekend! Cheers!

In other site news, I've also completed all the DVD reviews for the Sailor Moon S Heart Collection DVDs with Sailor Moon S Heart Collection DVD #4, Sailor Moon S Heart Collection DVD #5 and Sailor Moon S Heart Collection DVD #6 finishing them off!!!

Each DVD review has full screencaps of the DVD menus and images of the covers. Hope you find them useful!

I've also added links to Amazon.ca in the shopping guide for all the Canadian Moonies on here. The site also has some Sailor Moon items in stock that Amazon.com doesn't actually so everyone should have a look every now and then.

Also if you haven't, make sure to check out my Complete Sailor Moon S Episode Guide!

Now onto the news!

Moon Sticks' latest manga in online! Hilarious as always! Go Sailor Pluto!

The official site has updated for July with a new layout, villain profiles and a mailbag update. (Nothing really that interesting to report)

Star Dusting has heaps of new images worth checking out!

Lots of fun updates at SMFFG.

That's about it!

Sailor Moon Says Have a Great Weekend!
