Can't find them all but Moon is definitely from the back of the box.

. Only JUST realised....
That's pretty likely. I have multiple possible outcomes as to what they'll use:
- A completely new HD remaster that's better than every other one, boasting bright colors, clean audio and overall seems closest to the original vision.
- A shiny new remaster, but it's cropped to widescreen and removes details of the original 4:3 frame.
- An ordinary upscale of the Japanese DVD masters with some noticeable improvement
- The exact same as the Italian R2 releases, but in Blu-Ray definition.

I'm pretty doubtful this is VIZ's upscale. For anyone who isn't aware, Toei has been airing there own upscaled version for the past two years and it looks exceptionally better than what VIZ has been releasing, which is kind of a shame because it means we might never get Toei's new remaster in the States.
My only problem with Toei's new upscale is that, for some reason, when flashy effects are used (like the flames during Mar's transformation, or black electricity) the video becomes fuzzy for those specific moments. I think it's a lack of deinterlacing? I'm not sure that's the right term, I'm not an expert. I'm hoping that's not present in the bluray release. Otherwise, I'm loving Toei's new upscale. Looks pretty crisp on my HDTV and makes me resent Viz's release even more.
Anyway, R has a couple of episodes left. I can't wait to see S upscaled properly.

It's a confirmed upscale so no.
Better than Viz's upscale? Of course it will but not better than non-Toei shows with film remasters like Utena and Neon Genesis Evangelion got recently.
Here's an idea of what the show would have looked like if they used the film instead & also fixed the red tint.

The Toei version does look better than Viz, as the colors and linework look a lot less like they were accidentally dropped in water or something.
Also, I honestly think it looks nicer without the color correction, as with it the tones look a bit glowy. The unaltered screenshot really brings out the colors.

I have mixed feelings on it. I think just using the old artwork with a new background just looks bizarre. Sailor Moon is one of their biggest money makers, I don't understand why they couldn't produce new artwork. Babel II (1973) just got a BD release, and Toei made sure to get Michi Himeno to do the cover art (They probably would've had Shingo Araki do it if he was still alive).
Really? I know she had done new designs for Saint Seiya & Rose of Versailles' Blu-ray boxes but I didn't know about this. That's actually pretty cool considering her involvement with this series was only for the 1992 OVA that was done elsewhere.
