The biggest news, though, is that the anime is once again changing character designers, and the new designer is also an old one, as industry veteran Kazuko Tadano, who handled character designs for the very first season of the ‘90s Sailor Moon anime and its immediate follow-up, Sailor Moon R, is coming back for the two Eternal movies.
Sailor Moon Eternal will also be the first theatrical Sailor Moon anime since 1995.
Collectively billed as Sailor Moon Eternal, the two-part film will cover the Dead Moon Arc, which was first seen in anime form in the Sailor Moon SuperS portion of the original 1990s anime.
For all the hype that accompanied Sailor Moon’s return to the anime world with Sailor Moon Crystal, the magical girl reboot faded away without much fanfare.
