The First ‘Sailor Moon Crystal’ Trailer Makes Us Giddy!

Sailor Moon fans have a lot to be excited about considering that we’re about a month away from the broadcast debut of Sailor Moon Crystal, the reboot of the classic anime series. Hoping to make that wait a little easier, (or harder if you’re going crazy with anticipation like I am), the first trailer for the upcoming show has hit the Internet. And man, is it glorious!

Hearing Usagi’s voice set to new footage for the first time in years was more incredible than I ever thought it would be, so kudos to the casting directors for bringing back the same seiryu that voiced her all those years ago. As suspected from the teaser images, the animation draws much more from the sharper, thinner characters of the manga compared to the round, cutesy style of the original anime. And while Sailor Moon was the only one we saw in action, the inner senshi look absolutely incredible… Except for Venus. I’m afraid of those beads… Now we wait on Tuxedo Mask!

Watch the trailer below, and I DARE you not to cheer when you hear “Tsuki ni kawatte oshioki yo!” at the end. So much nostalgia. Too many feels…

Sailor Moon Crystal premiers on July 5th.
