I couldn't agree with you more.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about the updated designs. Usagi looks totally different.

I'm super pumped now, kind of wished the gloves on Neptune and Uranus where shorter but that's just me nitpicking.  And really hope for a completely new transformation sequence for all of the girls.

This. Please use 2d transformation like  in the 90s anime.


Usagi and Neptune look flawless. I can't wait to see more art in color.

It's been announced for Spring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I can't wait!  I love SMC, although the art for the Inner Senshi could have been better.

Neptune looks so beautiful!! And Saturn looks so modern now!

I have a couple nitpicks regarding the new art style (and the image itself), but nothing that really "ruins" it for me. As much as I liked the previous style, I definitely see this as an improvement.

^Plus its just a black and white awful internet scan. I do like the new style but i think we should all reserve final judgements for when we see it actually animated and in color. Cause back when all we had was the Moon Pride Opening to checkout, I thought it looked good, but then well we all know what happened. xD

I wish we had an official date, I could put an official countdown on the site somewhere. xD

A countdown would be great. Apparently they're supposed to be announcing the VAs for the outers this month or the next so maybe they'll announce the premiere date too. 

I also heard on tumblr that they've only mentioned the new season airing on TV and there's been no mention of it airing online this time around. Does anyone know if this is true?

Also the logo for season III:

Where did you find the logo? I haven't seen that yet. Guess that means they really did consider SMC to be two seasons rather than just two arcs??

And I remember, when this arc was first announced last year, something about it being on TV and no mention of web only and all that. Soo I dunno. :/

I got it here. It's also used in the official announcement.

color version

I think the colour version is definitely an improvement but we really need better quality images!

*screaming intensifies* Mai waifus are so pretty! I'm so happy they got the Fuku colors for uranus and neptune less dark than the 90s anime.

AH THE NEW LOGO AH THE IMAGE IS NOW IN COLOR AHHH ITS GONNA POP UP IN SPRING JUST AAAAAAH!

AHHH THE COLOURED VERSION

This is a fan edit.

It's not bad for a fan edit. But it did have me fooled there for a sec. XD;;

Had me completely fooled! It's good though. 

Hopefully when they announce the VA's for the outer senshi on the 27th we'll get colour release.

I heard the key visual is supposed to be unveiled in an anime magazine this Saturday somewhere. Not sure if they meant it as Saturday the 16th or not. That may be the leaked image above but honestly I wonder why it's black and white in the first place. I won't count it as official yet until it comes from a trusted source.

The black and white image is suppose to be from the most recent issue of Animedia magazine out in Japan. I guess Toei is trying to tease the fandom to build up anticipation for when more information is released later this month.

So apparently now the image is real and the fan was lying about photoshopping it. Idk man.

Spoiler:

Source.

So why are there black and white images running around?

 But in all seriousness I think people are just posting stuff and claiming it as official without fact checking. I've seen a full page photo of the page this picture is supposed to be on and the entire page (including all the pictures for the other anime shown) was in black and white but clearly in this photo it's colored. All I can say is be weary of what you see.

I'm so confused now. o_0 I'm just gonna wait until stuff is posted on the official Sailor Moon website...

My head is exploding now.. wat...

Okay, so based on a post by Miss Dream, I think what's going on is that the black and white version of the image is from Animedia, while the colored version is from Newtype. That makes more sense now.

Neptune's hair looks so amazing <3 Just gorgeous! Their eyes design seems a bit different to me now too. Usagi's expression especially looks quite improved.

*fangirls over new character designs*

S is my favorite season out of all 5. Love the outers and the death busters. Hated SuperS anime, but really enjoyed the manga version ♡
