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.

...Remastered animation with clean, clear, sharply defined character design with lush synthesized music.
The original anime had good animation quality with ABSOLUTELY GREAT MUSIC!!! :D
Have only seen bits and pieces of the Live Action version on YouTube so cannot comment on it.

The 'title card' featuring the (Inner) five Senshi is (scarily) accurate in looks to
their counterparts from the original anime version! o_O;

Hopefully the new anime series doesn't fall into the 'monster of the week' rut of the original anime.

Read a number of Sailor Moon fanfics and only remember a few of them:
SAILOR MOON 4200
http://shell.ihug.co.nz/~macspon/fanfic/sm4200/ [ihug.co.nz]
Excellent, epic SM fic! I remember this one vividly for one particular scene in the story.
Can't say anymore than that to avoid spoilage. You will know it when you read it!
SAILOR ORION
http://web.archive.org/web/20071215183048/http://home.earthlink.net/~ldbouyer/orion/episodes.html [archive.org]
I am *SO* HAPPY Archive.Org saved this epic masterpiece from oblivion! :D
SAILOR NERO (Darkfic)
ftp://ftp.gweep.ca/pub/anime/anime-fan-works/Sailor-Moon/sm.sailor-nero.gz [gweep.ca] (use GZIP or 7-ZIP to expand fic and read it)
Strange, all I can remember about this epic fic is that if it were a live-action film, it would be easily NC-17 due to violence! o_O;
SAILOR MOON: DEVASTATION (Darkfic)

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4204203/1/Sailor-Moon-D-The-M-Version-Chapters [fanfiction.net] (Mature version)
Dark and oustandingly done. (-_-) ;_; Read the mature version to get the full effect.
SAILOR MOON: BANISHED (Sequel to above fic)

Nice to see this one finished, now I have to find time to read it. :)

To my knowledge the Pretty Guardian bit, while a translated part of the Japanese titles, is usually used to refer to the live-action series in the West; the animated ones I usually see referred to simply as Sailor Moon (|R|S|SuperS|Crystal).
...Here I go, sounding like a Sailor Moon expert despite having watched mainly the original series and a few episodes of PGSM - and the hilarious "Saban Moon" trailer, of course. I'm more of a Precure man, myself. (For that matter I'll have to continue watching Happiness Charge Precure. The opening episode was intriguing but I haven't followed up on it yet.)
