With the limited run that Sailor Moon Crystal has been getting overall since it debuted last year, it’s now getting closer to a bigger mass market appeal as it’s been announced that the series will begin its over the air broadcast in April of this year. The show has been on the Nico Nico Douga service since July 2014. The broadcast plans are still unclear as no networks have been listed yet nor an exact date, which will be coming later.
The series is about to start the Black Moon arc with episode fourteen debuting this Saturday.
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: To end the painful journey, Sailor Moon stabs Mamoru with the holy sword before turning it on herself. The two fall to the ground, and are sucked in by Queen Metalia.
