Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal - if you Have to Ask, this Story is Not For you

During a discussion last weekend, several community members suggested that at weekends we look more closely at the non-technical aspects of nerd life, so cafebabe writes:

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.

    these 'reboots' that have been going on lately have actually been a very good thing because the originals were always pretty terrible, and often included a ridiculous amount of filler.

    a new hunter x hunter anime is currently running, fullmetal alchemist got a second anime that finished with the manga (called FMA: Brotherhood stateside), dragonball z got a remake up through the end of the cell saga without all the filler (dragonball kai has no more 20-episode stretches of "charging up" or running down snake way), and thats just what i can think of off the top of my head, and they're all way better than the original ones.

    since the mangaka of sailor moon is the wife of tha mangaka of hunterxhunter and yuyu hakusho, i'm not ashamed to say i'll watch it.

    i forgot to include that a new jojo's bizzare adventure anime is also currently running, about halfway through part 3, and should run through at least part 6, and hopefully sometime this year we'll finally get movie 4 of Rebuild of Evangelion :D

    anime is the one place where "reboots" are almost universally a good thing.
