First ‘Sailor Moon Crystal’ Anime Promo Debuts

There’s been a lot of movement in the last couple of weeks when it comes to the upcoming Sailor Moon Crystal series and now ahead of its debut next month, we’ve got our first promotional video for it. The series has gotten its scheduling down as well with it beginning on July 5th at 7pm JST (6am ET) and will be broadcast in the first and third Saturday’s each month rather than a weekly broadcast. The casting announcements were something that many were feared and anxious about because of the intense passion for the original cast, which is why it’s interesting that we get our lead actress back but the others bring something new to it – particularly since most grew up in the popularity of the original anime series as kids.

• Kotono Mitsuishi as Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon
• Hisako Kanemoto as Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury
• Rina Satou as Rei Hino/Sailor Mars
• Ami Koshimizu as Makoto Kino/Sailor Jupiter
• Shizuka Itou as Minako Aino/Sailor Venus

The series is set to be directed by Munehisa Sakai at Toei Animation with Yuji Kobayashi doing the scripts. Yuki Sako joined the team as the character designer, whose recent works include Majestic Prince. Yasuharu Takanashi is serving as the composer, having worked on some big franchise including Fairy Tail and Precure. Art direction is being done by Takashi Kurahashi and Yumi Hosaka, both of which worked on Gatchaman Crowds and Mononoke. The soundtrack is set to be produced by King Records, which means we should be getting plenty of clips and samples of everything once they start to the marketing side as they’re very involved on that front. Momoiro Clover Z is performing the theme song.

Plot concept: Usagi Tsukino is a second-year middle school girl who is a little clumsy and a crybaby, but she is full of energy. One day, she meets Luna, a black cat with a crescent moon on her forehead, and she transforms into Sailor Moon, a sailor-uniformed pretty guardian of love and justice! As a chosen guardian of justice, Usagi seems to have a mission to find the Illusionary Silver Crystal with the other guardians and to protect the princess.

Meanwhile, the queen of the Dark Kingdom, Queen Beryl, also sends minions to the town where Usagi lives to obtain the Illusionary Silver Crystal, which has immense power. This causes strange events to unfold….

Can Sailor Moon really find the Illusionary Silver Crystal with the other Sailor guardians, and protect the princess…!?

PROMO VIDEO!

Hi everyone!

I want to bring your attention to the #notacosplayer project run by Eddie of Food and Cosplay (facebook, tumblr).

Pretty angry at those photos right? Yeah, me too. The top one is me and six of the other cosplayers are extremely close friends of mine. (I’ve tagged their pages if you click on the photos!)

#notacosplayer is here to tackle the bullying within the cosplay community and especially that from outside. A lot of people, too many people believe that you have to be a thin, white woman with large boobs and an incredibly attractive face to be “allowed” to cosplay, and then what? If you are you’re brandished a slut/whore, a fake geek and only doing it for male attention. Yes there are a small handful of people who do infact cosplay for attention and have no interest in the characters, but for the people with a genuine love of what they’re doing, this is massively hurtful.

Comments like the ones above are received on a daily basis for a lot of cosplayers, whether it be a sly remark from another convention goer, on a facebook page where “well its just a picture on the internet” or some other form of online forum, the comments are read and they’re upsetting.

Cosplayers spend countless hours picking costumes, hunting down where the best place to get them from is or locating the most realistic parts for a costume. They send off designs and reference to commissioners to ensure that their piece is perfect and just how they want it, constantly giving feedback and input on their item. Some other cosplayers spend hours and hours slaving away with cuts and burns to create something they’re proud of and love.

They take a picture and hang it with absolute pride at how awesome they look, how they replicated their favorite character in their own way. They show it to their friends who all say how awesome it is and they share it around.

And for what?

Definitely not for some random person off the internet to feel the need to comment and chip in, ignoring every ounce of effort and accuracy on a costume. Friend, you found this image probably because you’re a fan of what I’m cosplaying from, could you comment on my costume please?
No, straight for the jugular, right in the “you’re not good enough to cosplay because…”

“You’re #notacosplayer because…”


Well I am. And Everyone else who says their a cosplayer is a cosplayer. The rules of cosplay aren’t written on attractiveness or likeness, they’re written on costume play.

So stand proud guys. Bullying will not be tolerated anymore. Share your stories and lets stop this horrible taboo where we never speak about the nasty comments we receive. Its a major part and its driving out incredible members of our community. Negativity won’t be tolerated anymore.

You’re all amazing and incredible and you can do whatever you set your mind to. Don’t let these comments put you off doing that dream character or starting cosplaying. Stand up proud and where that costume, show bullies and negativity that you don’t care…

YOUR FABULOUS.

Can we just have every superhero react like that?

“A spider bite… gave me abs…?”

“Being put in a barrel of radioactive waste… gave me abs…?" 

"Watching my parents die…gave me abs?”

THIS IS THE BEST FUCKING POST EVER

How it should’ve ended :)

Just finished up an interview for Heroes United Against Cosplay Bullying! It was via Skype so I wore Peach, which is the cosplay I was bullied in last year. It’s hard to believe that something I was bashed in could be used so positively  :)  Always remember, cosplay is all about having fun portraying the characters you love.  Cosplay is for everyone.  Period.

One year ago, my first book, “Treat Me Kindly,” was published by Damnation Books  :)  To celebrate, I’m offering autographed copies at a discount from now until 6/11.  I’m happy to say that I actually don’t have many copies left after conventions in May, so if I run out, I’ll still honor the discounted price until next week  :)  

Thank you, everyone, for supporting everything I do <3
