I know of several anime clubs that are also hosting events for the return of the Sailor Moon manga!
In particular the DC Anime Club and my own little club in South Eastern KY. I'm sure there are many more as well!

If you think about it, it doesn't make sense that Funimation is involved in it at all. If Forbidden Planet had a realease party for Naruto, Bleach or Pokemon would Funimation be giving prizes for the cosplay contest?

Yep. Cause it's good PR.

I'm kind of curious about what Funimation is going to be giving out at a Sailor Moon party. C'mon guys, just announce the license already, people want to hand you fistfuls of cash over the internet already, so what's the hold up? Razz

As big as FUNimation is, they might first choice to even re-dub the classic anime series.

In fact, any studio will do...except 4Kids!

There's no might about it. Unless Takeuchi says no, redubbing is the best choice.

Sweet to hear such a large comicbook store doing this, unfortunately I live nowhere near NYC. But I do live near
a Books-a-Million that's closing this week and just picked up
my Sailor Moon and Sailor V manga tonight. They are so beautiful, waiting 60 days for the next volumes will be painful.

yes I did :< about a month or 2 ago when borders announced they were closing up for good (where I live, the closest reliable bookstore is a borders, so my original plan was to get it on release day).
I guess I didn't do it soon enough. fooey.

I hope the Funimation representative doesn't get attacked too badly by the Sailor Moon fans asking them about re-licensing the anime

Large? I've always found that store cramped has hell with all the bookshelves. then again this is New York most stores are cramped.

So Funimation is conducting covert studies on sailor moon fans.

As for why FUNi's involved, Rojas explained it a bit on Facebook and now here's Sophie's response from the forum.

Sophie wrote:
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Rojas is correct. The people running the event contacted us about prizing. They may have sent similar requests to the other anime companies and we were just the only one to actually send anything. We do not have the Sailor Moon license.

The request for prizes did say it was a Sailor Moon event. However, just because it's a Sailor Moon event doesn't mean that fans of other shows won't be there. Plus, since no one has North American distribution rights, we wouldn't be helping any of the competition.

This event just gives us more exposure. That's why we sponsored it.

And the hopes of a Sailor Moon rescue and announcement has once again been dashed. Anime hyper

It'd still be nice if it does get rescued again though - I'd love to see it, since I didn't as a little kid. I plan to pick up the manga at some point, although I'm kinda hoping my library will get it first so I'm not blind-buying it.

I want the anime to be remastered and released on dvd!~ Sailor Moon was like my childhood basically! I love it! Very Happy Re-dubbing would be nice, the other dub cut out scenes and stuff :/ Though I am pretty used to the dub's VAs.

I am so buying the manga! I have a few volumes of the older print from TP.
