Twenty years later, creator Naoko Takeuchi has announced that the series will return with a new anime debuting in the summer of 2013.
On the morning of July 6, Sailor Moon fans who tuned into Japan's premier video sharing site, Nico Nico, for the 20th-anniversary talk featuring pop band Momoiro Clover Z, were pleasantly surprised with the news that Takeuchi and Kodanshi Comics already have a new series in the works.
Kodanshi editor Fumio Osano confirmed that the new project will not be a film, but a serialized anime. They have yet to release any details beyond its existence, its format and its debut timeframe, but longtime fans of the series speculate that this new anime will be a reboot geared to both young, potential-moonies and older fans.
