German Sailor Moon DVDs Sailor Moon Rights and More!
Well it's been a very big week. Got some bad news but to counteract that a lot of good news too!
Let's get the bad news out of the way first so we can end on a good note.
Turns out the person that was impersonating Sarah Lafluer (Sailor Ueranus) was also impersonating Linda Ballantyne (Sailor Moon #3). Pretty shocking, maddening and depressing. This person had even started up a personal blog pretending to be Linda and was posting personal photos, etc. I'm glad I wasn't the only one fooled. Her Twitter account has been deleted and legal action has been taken.
I would like to remind everyone that impersonating celebrities is not cool. It hurts the person you're impersonating and also hurts the fans. If you are using a Sailor Moon voice actor, actor, singer, etc's name for your username on any site please change it. Even if you're convinced that you're doing it for the star, it's illegal, is a crime, hurts the person you're impersonating and also confuses fans and websites alike.
Now on to the good news!!!
Toei is officially selling the rights to Sailor Moon! This is a HUGE step in getting Sailor Moon back to English speaking countries! Whether you want a redub, a resub, a remastered rerelease of the existing dub or all of the above (like me!) this is very good news. Here's hoping someone buys it!
Speaking of Sailor Moon being rereleased around the world, SailorMoonWorld.it reports that a German magazine mentioned that German companies are now after the rights to rerelease the series on DVD in Germany. Great news for German fans (which I know there are a few of who read Moonkitty.net!).
A fantastic fan just told me about this new Sailor Moon fan film and it looks absolutely amazing! How has noone ever heard of this project? Just look at this trailer! Can't wait for this!
The revamped Three-Lights.net continues to post some super content!
What I think is the oldest Sailor Moon fansite, Castle in the Sky has a new address. Still has great info after all these years.
Did you ever want the DiC music in the English dub of Sailor Moon S and SuperS? Me too. Someone has done a great job of mixing in the music from the first two seasons into an episode from Sailor Moon S and I like it! Check it out for something different! Part 1, Part 2 & Part 3.
Another great fan effort with checking out is this amazing Chinese cosplay group's retelling of the end of the Silver Millennium! Part 1 + Part 2!
Moon Sticks is back, turning one year old and has a new comic!!!
Wouldn't it be GREAT if someone else bought the rights to Sailormoon? Man, that would just make my day =3 Anyway, thanks for the update Brad! I hadn't visited Castle in the Sky for ages, but it was one of the very first Sailormoon websites I ever found over a decade (!) ago. Thanks for linking it, it was awesome to hear some news about. <3
I read in a magazine that France and Scandinavia are also currently negotiating the rights to Sailor Moon and Bandai is already developing a new range of toys, figurines, dolls, playsets ... here is the link,http://www.kazachok.com/catalogue/index.php?id=Y01ZF1qQGb0z7gz6snzyUzXM3iY804kuSXtY9G_@p9E- go to page 25 there is a section in English on the side. I'm very excited for the comeback in France!
This person was posing as Linda as well???? Geez someone has too much time on their hands! On another note, YAY for Sailor Moon! I really hope it comes back to all English speaking countries... I'm gonna buy the DVDs for sure :D
