Our very first ever Highlight on GC is Sailor Moon Sacrifice produced by Kaosu Studios (soon to be under a different name).
Here is what they have to say about their show:
Quote :
Sacrifice is a fan-made 6th season of the world renowned anime series: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon. Using edited existing footage, as well as some new animation and artwork. This is our contribution to the fandom using "AMV" style to bring forth a new season.
( Disclaimer ) Kaosu Studios are in no way in relation with any of the Sailor Moon copyright holders (Naoko Takeuchi/Toei Animation), do not claim ownership of their materials or SailorMoon's image/likeness.
Created by fans for fans, we do not intend on making profit.
- Taken From Sailor Moon Sacrifice's Facebook
There is current only one Episode released on youtube, with Episode #2 on the way.
You can watch the first and second parts of Episode One on Kaosu Studios YouTube.
I have personally watched the first Episode and I immediately fell in love with the story, quality, artwork, and the over all awesomeness of this fan made "AMV". I can't wait for the Second Ep!
My Mini Summary:
Quote :
Picks up where the last season of Sailor Moon left off, but things are not as they seem. Something is wrong with Usagi, and a dark shadow is stirring in the aftermath of everyone's rebirth. When a new monster attacks Rei at her shrine, the team needs a little extra help. But is their new found help friend or foe? And why does she look like Usagi?

Hm, I was wondering if I could ask a question about this. I just found out about this fanmade season a few weeks ago from a tumblr post. Naturally I had to spend long hours late into the night trying to find everything I could on this odd new season.
First of all, I adore the concept. I think it is beautifully Sailor Moon to have Usagi's sister posses the same kind nature as Usagi. I thought she was going to be played off as the "dark side" to "Usagi's light." From what I have seen, their relationship and affection for one another is just as it would be in the canon.
That aside ... I saw that the episode is in english and I imagine the rest will be in english as well. However, I found a few trailers that were in japanese. It was mind boggling. Some of the dialog sounded like they were the original lines taken from the japanese anime seasons, but some lines sounded like they were made up by a new japanese seiyuu. It confused me so much because the creators are english-speakers, no? I was not able to find an entire episode in japanese, just a trailer.
Here is the link. (I must say that the trailer is incredibly done -- riveting music as well!)
The reason for my fascination is because, quite honestly, I am a die-hard japanese seiyuu fan. So of course I would prefer to watch these episodes in japanese and not english.
Thank you for any help you can provide!

Wow, I hadn't seen this. But to be honest, it does sound legit, however if it's not listed as done and produced by Kaosu Studios then I wouldn't say it is their's.
If you have any questions though I would recommend going to their facebook page and starting a discussion. They don't have any other way to get a hold of them I am afraid.

Well well, isn't this nice? Just figured I'd pop in while I'm killing time at work.
@Sailor Jupiter Our older trailers contain Japanese audio from the original seiyuu because we didn't have a full cast of English VAs at the time (mind you, we did manage to publish one or two with English VAs..but that's a tragedy in itself). The one you linked is "old" Sacrifice, before it became what it is today with improved editing and many, many changes to the overall story line.
If there are any other questions, feel free to ask!
Ps. Loving this forum!

OH MY GOSH, IT IS SO WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU HERE, KAOSU. Really, I am quite excited! (If that wasn't already apparent with the caps spam. Heh.)
Well now that you are here, I do hope that you will talk more about Sacrifice! Really, I spent hours searching youtube and google for all the information that I could get. It was the most amazing and surprising thing that I had ever seen.
Have you been making new episodes lately? And you said that the English VA's was a tragedy. Did you get new cast members?

We used to have a forum with most of the information one would need, but none of us have the time to maintain it anymore, so we stick with facebook (it's quick and easy!). One day we'll find one person willing to dedicate their time to a domain site and forum..one day!
We have been working on episode two for several months and still are! Unfortunately myself and AnimeBoost have become ridiculously busy with work and school, so progress has slowed down quite a bit. We're forever searching for new people to help out with the project to speed up this process. Regardless, we'll get there sooner or later!
We did replace the 'tragic' VAs with some incredibly talented people! We even have two people voicing two-three characters each!

Oh my! I am honored and incredibly excited to have you here Kaosu! It means a lot to me that you enjoy my forums! I really loved your first episode (totally cried while watching it), and am so excited to see people not giving up on this.
Please don't hesitate to PM me if you have any questions

Isn't it just amazing, Hana-ko? It gave me chills when I first saw it!
Here is the HD version of the japanese trailer that I posted the link to.
Here is another one. This one shows Serenity and Kurai in the Moon Kingdom. It's rally awesome because there is japanese dialog (with subtitles) between them and a narrator! The love between these two sisters is so painfully beautiful.
Sailor Moon meets her sister.

Completely agree with you there, Lady! I'm very glad to see that they are still working very hard on this project, regardless that Kaosu and some of her staff have been quite busy this year. ^^ I'm so tempted to ask for an interview so that I could post it on this highlight because this project is very inspirational.

I must agree that I also liked the new VA for Kurai as well. Her voice has an elegance and an "older" feel too - plus her mic quality is awesome! ^^
