I thought the release date is Spetember 11th, 2020?

Yes, it is. So it is stated on the pamphlet. Long wait indeed.

I would like to know what‘s exactly written on the pamphlet. is there sny full translation?

From the part in the pamphlet, it says this is a story in which Chibiusa plays the important part like Black Moon arc. The relationship between Helios and Chibiusa is the highlight in this movie, because this movie is based on the original work (manga).

That image of Sailor Moon looks somewhat better than the original I remember. It looks redrawn or something. It's been a while since I saw the other one

It is exactly the same.

I don‘t remember the manga well, but I had the impression that Sailor Moon was much more protagonist then she was in the 90s anime. This sounds like Chibiusa is again the main character.

They compared it with Black Moon arc, so I don't think there will be any problem.

At least, we are going to have a new movie this year!

They might've intentionally postponed it till after the Olympics. lol

Why intentionally? lol To avoid bad critique from the international audience?

Honestly, after 3 seasons of bad screenwriting I care most for the screenplay, and then for the animation. If told well, even with a minimalistic animation, a film can be good. Although I hope for a visual firework with vibrant colors, atmospheric light/shadows, right proportions for faces and bodies and stunning choreographies for transformations and attacks.

Nah, lol but to avoid competing for people's attention in the country, I guess.

I can understand that, but will they ever learn how to promote their Sailor Moon related stuff? I mean... One key visual and concept art, empty site. These phamphlets were a nice oportunity to show some new artwork. The movie will bein theaters in 8 months. I am sure they have tons of materials to show at this point. Show Helios at least!

It's more like the main protagonist are Chibiusa, Usagi, and Mamorou.

Will there be any damage if they update the character design sheet on the movie site!?
Many of my Japanese friends don't know there is a new series of Sailor Moon. Can you believe it!?

Toei really shot itself in the foot, if thats the case, Sailor Moon is really popular world wide, and with so many tourists during Olympics, subbed release in cinemas could be big success.

They did it for s1 then they never did it gor season 3 and now they have a whole site full of nothing.

Anime movies are hardly ever promoted 8 months before their release. The Ojamajo Doremi movie is out in May which is in five months and there is still no trailer out and barely any promotional material. It's not a Sailor Moon problem.

 

[Crystal Moon]

I feel like the web staff in SMC1-2 period was dedicated and eager to let audience know last information of SMC. Being ignored, unable to achieve what they wanted, they gave up and left the SMC3 site empty. While the Western fan community is separated with pro-Crystal and anti-Crystal, I barely see any possitive comment about SMC on Youtube. They always say "Apparently 90's anime is the best. I still remember those beautiful days... I want to return to my childhood... Blah blah blah."

They shared character designs of S1 about 2-3 months before release and a trailer only a month before. I don’t understand how that shows dedication or an eagerness to show information?

They’re not updating the Crystal website because no one probably visits it... Most people get their news elsewhere so why would they waste their time?

After seeing what they did with SMC3 web site, I think SMC 1 - 2 was done with more dedication (although they were paid to do it): Every menu, button and title was carefully designed. I remember spending time wandering the anime site a lot.
They couldn't leave the page blank just because they think no one will visit the site. Why did they add it to the menu, and just leave it? This is the first time I see such an unprofessional staff. They updated the summay of the first 4 episodes of SMC3, and stopped.

Edit: Just reading the Japanese comments on Youtube. Many of Japanese people don't know Tuxedo Mask has his own attack.

Why would I visit it? There is nothing to see/read. They don’t update it. They could at least retweet what the composer and the screenwriter tweeted on twitter, but they don’t.
