Because it's out of print and a legit box set DVD is insanely, grabasstically EXPENSIVE. <br /><br />While there are many other animes that have played a part in making anime popular, none of them have had the international success of Sailormoon, which grossed over a BILLION (with a B) dollars in merchandise sales during its first three years of airing in Japan. <br /><br />No other anime has done this. Not even Naruto. <br /><br />Because of that alone, Sailormoon is deserved more respect than it gets, even if it doesn't contain enough guns, gore and panty shots for half of them over there.A.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116747827181992148.post-72707815896757100052009-08-17T16:19:21.924-06:002009-08-17T16:19:21.924-06:00Oh that is sad...well, that's ok.

With a re-release of the series could prove them wrong and I hope they get slap in the face for it. <br /><br />Heck, even Astro Boy is getting a new movie. And we all know how old he is ;)ochibawolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12943990083334854770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116747827181992148.post-82158759598444916842009-08-17T12:13:15.601-06:002009-08-17T12:13:15.601-06:00Yes, Sailor Moon is an old series, but so what? It...Yes, Sailor Moon is an old series, but so what? It was still groundbreaking, and introduced America to anime. Not to mention what it did for girl's television.<br />Look back at the 90's, and tell me what you see: TMNT, old cartoons like the jetsons, and other shows that were primarily focused on boys.<br />Sailor Moon not only was one of the best series to ever be made (horrible English dub or not), but also was a pioneer in television, and -- dare I say it -- girl's/women's rights.<br />That may be a bit drastic to say, but you get my point.Anatolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14776788231382098400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116747827181992148.post-80558522271196057522009-08-17T11:22:01.071-06:002009-08-17T11:22:01.071-06:00But that's just my two cents (sorry for the co...But that's just my two cents (sorry for the confusion, had to get that out). As for ANN, eh, they should just mention it and keep going with their lives. It ain't that hard. Besides, wouldn't the posters over there would go nuts if they announce it?esahChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16171632037659357264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116747827181992148.post-54503510092975163652009-08-17T11:17:16.909-06:002009-08-17T11:17:16.909-06:00Well, I hate to be one of those pessimist people, ...Well, I hate to be one of those pessimist people, but I can't help but agree with ANN on this. I mean, it's great that all of this news brought to us have come to surface (even I think ANN at least should mention something you guys did), but, I dunno, the show airing at two other counties, doing a fan letter campaign, and all of this stuff you guys keep mentioning isn't really going to help the show in the long run. From a fan's point of view, you guys are doing a great job, but from a business's point of view, you're wasting your time (no offense). <br /><br />I mean, Futurama and Family Guy didn't came back becuase it was demanded by fan letters, but becuase of rating and DVD sales they had. No money, no interest. Like I said to Brad from moon kitty one time, getting the show back isn't going to be a one-two-three snap thing you know...esahChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16171632037659357264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116747827181992148.post-40085521327845182962009-08-17T09:04:19.812-06:002009-08-17T09:04:19.812-06:00Hey CyCyn:

How is that news but not this?sailordeeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261156829107466972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116747827181992148.post-40674770945610414092009-08-17T08:36:00.126-06:002009-08-17T08:36:00.126-06:00It is sad that they don't consider it that imp...It is sad that they don't consider it that important, but what's even weirder is that they have time to answer back instead of just posting a small entry that could help out or at least put some extra eyes on SM and -HELLO!!- their site. (I NEVER check ANN BECAUSE they don't talk about SM)<br /><br />Hopefully, it'll come back and bite them someday. I think they underestimate SM, they think it's dated but we've seen firsthand the POWER it still has, even in the subconscious minds of the average Joe (if someone dresses in a uniform and pigtails, they always relate it to SM), but we just have to keep doing what we do best: LOVE SAILOR MOON and stand behind her no matter what!Cyn G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00926782649902559196noreply@blogger.com
