Sailor Moon Manga All Color Edition - Discussion (Vol 3-4 announced)

[Clow]

So like...a color version of the Moon Prism Box feature from the old website? I wouldn't hate that.

It worked with Buffy.

Also, it seems that Naoko loves her manga more than anything else; we may not hear about the TOEI movies, but the manga is always being re-released in new formats and with new illustrations as covers.

I think they can try with the short stories the way they did with the VAs reading it. And if successful, they can release it. Who cares about Toei's barely anmated films. The manga is still the best anyway. Now it is in color. Make a basic animation here and there and voice it. It sounds great.

For manga lovers, it’s a better idea than having the movies & I feel it is going to happen—now or in the future.

Frankly, it's just the silhouette of Sailor Moon, and only the mouth has movement.
It's totally different from animating everything.

But we’re talking about a slightly animated version of the pages of the manga—following the concept of Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8.

Oh I see. I didn't think you replied the post above.

Yeah, just a silght animation using the pages and all. Speaking of this, a full voiced visual novel of the manga illustrated by Naoko would be great.

Where's this music from? I always wanted something like this for the transformation themes in Crystal.

People talking about motion comics reminds me of Sailor Scribbles doing a couple of these years ago.

Since we have the full color version of the first arc release does anyone know if they are going to be doing Black Moon next?

 

[Memento]

They're going to do the whole manga, but we don't know when the next volume's coming out.

I hope this inc

PNP/Kodansha should do the same, just bring a voice cast, and release a DVD, Blu-ray version of the manga.

Now, here's a thought. Supposing that they were to do this, if they were to bring in a voice cast, should they then include or omit the word bubbles?

I've seen some motion comics where, since they had a voice cast, they left out the word bubbles to allow the artwork to speak for itself (pun intended).

 

[Memento]

^ I'd hope they'd get rid of the speech bubbles.

 

[sapphire91]

I think keeping them would make translation possible.

 

[Clow]

Keep the bubble speeches to maintain the manga feeling.
