Viz Media held a Sailor Moon panel at Anime Boston on Friday where they went over a lot of things coming up in relation to Sailor Moon R with its home video release. We also got some casting information, which you can see below as well. And to cement the series and its upcoming debut with its new English language dub, they’ve also got the first dub clip for the show which gives us some fun with Chibi Usa and one of the scenes that just delights far too many fans.
The company is going to bring out the first set with it on July 14th, 2015 and it will be priced at $79.98. It’ll contain episode 47 through 68 and will come in a premium chipboard box similar to the first and also contain a 96 page full color booklet. The release will be a DVD/BD combo release that will have three DVDs and three Blu-ray’s in it.
New casting information for the arc was also revealed recently with:
Ayakashi Sisters

Black Moon Clan
- Rubeus – Steve Cannon

Plot concept: The season is divided into two arcs: One arc being an anime filler (to give Takeuchi Naoko time to make the next manga), and the other arc being the actual Black Moon plot.
The first arc shows Usagi and Co. having their memories restored from the first season. Their enemies are a pair of aliens, Ail and Ann, who are seeking human energy to restore their life tree. Mamoru had yet to recover his memories and he appeared as the Moonlight Knight rather than Tuxedo Kamen. This arc only lasted for 13 episodes.
The second arc introduces Chibi-Usa, a little girl from the future who is searching for the Silver Crystal. The new enemies are the Black Moon Clan, comprising of the Ayakashi sisters (Cooan, Beruche, Karaberas, and Petz), Rubeus, Safir, Esmeraude, Prince Demando, and Wiseman. They too want the Silver Crystal so that they can take over the future. The Sailor Senshi’s adventure continues…
