Happy New Year! 


Sailor Moon Anime, Manga, Movie, Live Action and Musical (Sera Myu) News.
Happy New Year 2010! Yes it's been a while but as those of you who follow my Twitter account know, I was suffering from a major wrist injury (bruised the joint and ripped the cartilage) which pretty much prevented me from writing anything over 140 characters long without screaming in pain and doubling over.

This is why I love Twitter! It allowed me to stay in touch with quite a few of you guys even when I was unable to update the site.

Speaking of Twitter, Interesting stats: 22% of you guys are guys, 78% are girls. 95% of you love RTing me (thanks!) & most are from US and Canada.

Got those stats from here if you're interested. They forgot to mention that 100% of you are fabulous!


That's interesting as on the MKNET main site there are a lot more Australians, Kiwis and Germans and also a few from Japan (besides myself).

Anyway as a consequence of my wrist injury I fell seriously behind in the Sailor Moon Sailor Stars Anime Episode Guide which I was hoping to have finished by the end of the holidays. Am definitely aiming to get it done by March. I've also got some great Moonie Mailbag Sailor Moon Questions in my inbox to be answered and will most likely get round to them this Sunday. Keep sending them in guys! I will answer them all, don't worry! If you haven't seen the Moonie Mailbag yet, you should check it out. Lots of content to read on a rainy day.

If you haven't been here in a while, you should also check out my review of the new Japanese Sailor Moon anime box set. This weekend I'll be updating it with screencaps from the DVDs so stay tuned!

I've also uploaded a lot of new Sailor Moon wallpapers to the Downloads section which are well worth checking out. There's also a HUGE collection of avatars & icons there if you want to change your avatar for the new year.

In Moonie news, nothing really big officially. Still no news of a new anime series from Japan or a new English redub let alone a rerelease of the series on DVD or Bluray in Region 1 or 4. The anime will be reairing in Italy next month though and Naoko Takeuchi will be drawing some new artwork for the Italians!!! That's pretty amazing and I think the first time she has drawn artwork exclusively for a company outside of Japan.

The official site has updated for the new year, but unlike last year's January update there's no message from Naoko. Interesting now though in retrospect that when Naoko in January 2009 said that 2009 would be an interesting year for Sailor Moon she must have been talking about the new DVDs and the anime's reairing on Animax in Japan.

Meanwhile elsewhere on the web:

  • Dreaming Moon has updated with some new card scans!

  • A Fruitful Spring has a new layout, new scans and lots of updates worth checking out!

  • Moon Sticks has a new strip online!

  • Moon Collection has a great post about a Moon Kingdom play set.

  • Sailor Moon plus Cooking equals crazy.

  • On a side note, I've been reading up on Amazon's Kindle lately and seen there's a lot of manga on it! Thinking about getting one. Do you have one? Please comment below and let me know if it's worth getting!

    Oh and one last thing before I go.... got another exclusive interview with a Sailor Moon voice actress coming soon!!! ;)

    yay, Welcome back Brad and Happy New Year to you too :) Nice to know you're feeling better again :)

    Looking forward to the many updates, too!

    Just wondering, will you still be holding the contest you mentioned last year?
     
    Don't bother with the Kindle! I mean it is fun at first... after a couple minutes the novelty wears off and you will probably prefer the old fashioned method of a physical copy. (I know I do)
     
    Hmm... still a bit split about the kindle. Might wait for Apple's release before deciding.

    Ah, and competition coming soon!!!
     
    Thanks for the link! My mom has a kindle, and she loves it. I'm just ashamed she got one before me.
     
    lol! That's funny! I might have to get one before my mum does!!!
