Who gets the final say? Is it Toei, Naoko/PNP, Kodansha? Is Naoko limited in her ownership?
Was Sailor Moon always going to be a joint project between Toei and Naoko? Who originally came up with the idea for Sailor Moon? Osabu, Naoko? Toei? Bandai? It feels like they all tried to push their ideas onto Naoko during the creation of Sailor Moon but I always wondered if Sailor Moon was created organically or if it was always it the works to be a massive multimedia franchise from the start.
With the leaks that it was Sailor V that was originally going to be animated, perhaps something happened around that point before the creation of BSSM and some sort of new contract was drafted?
It’s all so fascinating and yet we know very little.
