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.

    Bring it! This also means more art.

    I wish there was "Moonlight Densetsu" there somewhere, though.

    Screw Moonlight Densetsu. As a German I wish there was more that rave song they used for the German Sailor Moon opening. That song was stupid but insanely catchy. (It's also easy to find on YouTube; try searching for "sailor moon german op" or "sailor moon deutsches intro".)

    Seriously, this is one of the songs that defined childhood in 1990s Germany. Whether you liked Sailor Moon or not, you definitely knew this song and probably the lyrics too. It was that catchy. (Although the biggest win for German anime BGM was still when they replaced the entire Captain Future soundtrack with pure space funk awesomeness. Honestly; ask YouTube for "feinde greifen an", "hurra wir fliegen" or "vor dem start" and enjoy.)

      I understand even less in German than in Japanese. It was interesting nonetheless :)
