I'm not sure if this is on topic but the other site used to cover anime quite extensively.
A new series of Sailor Moon is being released via hulu.com and neonalley.com in which the story of Sailor Moon is retold from the beginning. (This is colloquially known in the film industry as a "reboot" but such a term is probably irksome to geeks who find rebooting a computer to be tiresome.)
The series will be particularly popular with the demographic of women who watched previous incarnations of Sailor Moon and who are now in their late 20s. Laura Hudson writing for wired.com is presumably in this demographic and gives away a few spoilers despite promising not to. A trailer for the series reveals much less.

Submissions like this are why Soylent News needs a "Soylent Reviews" catagory -- especially given SN's ambitions to become a bastion of independent journalism. The best way to encourage original content in this context is to invite people to write reviews of all things nerdy.
Although I like the headline's tagline -- "If you have to ask, this story is not for you." Which on a Saturday night could be interpreted to indicate a tacit plea to users to refrain from posting piggish comments about bukakke and tentacle rape which do not serve to advance the discussion.

I am benevolent. Almost everything I say here is carefully calculated and posted for a specific reason. My bad stuff is like a vaccine -- it hurts in the short-term but makes the community stronger in the long-term by encouraging the development of smarter countermeasures against common shitposters (coprodactylus vulgaris) as well as reinforcing common sense and persuading the readership to address the nut of the content rather than get bogged-down in petty distractions -- all while encouraging dissenting viewpoints.
Unless I'm drunk, in which case fuck you.
But getting back on topic -- Even American cartoons, like He-Man and She-Ra, used canned transformation sequences [youtube.com] to indicate that the climax was near. You knew that shit was about to go down. You can see the importance of the transformation sequence carry over to games, such as Final Fantasy X-2. [youtube.com]

First of all: FTFY!
Second: When haven't comments about bukkake and tentacle rape advanced the discussion?
