What do YOU think? The question of Western and Eastern and worldwide fans is a tricky one, especially when there have been many Western fans that have tried to change the focus or DNA of games, movies and other things. That said, we still think that fan voices do matter (the not crazy ones) and we think that Sailor Moon is for everyone, no matter where they are! Much love and appreciate you!

Something tells me that the international licensing deals from the 90s were iron clad and the rights are all held by the same people who are not willing to invest/diversify. It is frustrating to keep getting the same apparel and accessories with the same stock imagery from the past 10 years. The dolls would sell out INSTANTLY in the US, even if sold at a premium price like proplica or pullip - anything marketed to the kidult audience would sell well.
During the 90s, there was a disconnect between Sailor Moon and its fanbase. This was largely due to the fact that many international adults harbored prejudices against Japanese media, simply because it was unfamiliar to them. Concerns were raised about the content being too mature or violent for children. Moreover, there was anxiety that the original version's content might encourage aggressive or violent behavior in young viewers. It's unfortunate that kids and millennials of that era, growing up in a conservative society, faced misunderstandings surrounding Japanese media, which was novel at the time and whose original context was not fully grasped.
It goes both ways, Naoko has a vision for sailor moon and is very protective of her IP, she'd never let anyone else continue the story or make a spinoff.
@@nworder4lifeDoes she? It seems like her vision is just to milk the merchandise for all it’s worth and collect cars in her personal life more than it is to create anything or fulfill any vision with sailor moon. If her goal was to preserve this vision I’d think she’d care more about Sailor V or getting the Sailor Moon short stories adapted.
I wish Naoko kept writing the sailor moon manga or anime I wanna see usagi all grown up and I wanna read chibi usa fighting bad guys with the sailor quartet like her mom or make a spinoff of other sailor guardians across the universe
@@Jimmsy-54There’s Parallel Sailor Moon but it’s very short and an alternative universe. They also never adapted Sailor V obviously which should be a no brainer so idk why they won’t.
One would be turned off in doing more when Publishers intentionally throw away your non-PGSN works nevermind Toei deviating too far from her material to where she had to fight for her creative control. For every Akira Toriyama or Shotaro Ishinomori, there's Naoko
unfortunately for foreign fans, that's the case for most anime/manga...the marketing is targeted almost exclusively towards locals. Things like Dragonbal, AoT etc are more of an exception than a rule
I don't think SM is even remotely as popular as Dragonball is around the world. AOT was a newer anime in the late 2010's who's mangaka is a young guy and he was probably like" yes please give me more money" so it's easy to make that 1 international😂
I agree about the newer dolls being a missed opportunity, or action figures with realistic hair. As far as what we want out of the franchise, it would be less corny without chibi moon and the kids kid. Sailor Saturn could be older too
I've been waiting for 10+ years for Toei to release Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon on Blu-ray or streaming. It's viewable in several places online if you know where to look, but it's a shame that they keep stuff like PGSM exclusive to Japan: the fan base is worldwide!
I absolutely agree with everything you say, Jill, OMG like Sailor Moon deserves so much love and respect from everyone here in the USA because it's still one of the top greatest anime shows of all time, the GOAT of all Magical Girls, and literally everyone loves the show because it's so inspiring and so beautiful and amazing!!! I honestly have no grudge against Shonen Jump like Naruto, One Piece and DBZ etc, but I feel like companies should also give their love and support to Sailor Moon just like us fans give the show so much love and support. I also do feel they need to get back to finishing up the merch collection like the Sailor Moon funko pops like bringing in the seasons of Super S, Stars etc even the villains and special characters from the Sailor Moon universe for fans to collect. I do want them to bring back the SHF figurearts chouette figures of the Sailor Guardians from SM Crystal Season 1 with Season 3 by finally bringing out Sailor Chibi Moon & Tuxedo Mask as the final figures, plus they can even finish up the SHF Figurearts set by adding the Sailor Stars lineup with the Sailor Starlights including Sailor Chibi Chibi and Sailor Galaxia and Princess Serenity in her Winged Angel form, they do a lot of merch for the Sailor Moon brand. I really do hope that during Sailor Moon Cosmos's celebration that they can still continue on the Glitter & Glamour and Q-Poskets brands for Sailor Moon Cosmos as I want to see the other Eternal Guardians with the Moon Cats (Human form) and the Sailor Starlights and Princess Kakyuu (Both Princess & Senshi form) and Sailor Cosmos etc!!! I really want more Sailor Moon, I love it so much!!!
I plan on making my own video about it, but I’d love for a 2.0 of the figuarts line. So many characters haven’t been made and the figures are now a decade old.
Heeey Happy Birthday Jill!!! Yeah I think for whatever reason Toei is really reluctant to put out decent Sailor Moon products and making them accessible outside of Japan. I wonder if it's because of Naoko Takeuchi somehow. She never struck me as somebody who was connected to fans of her work.
could it have anything to do with the constant attacks on anime being leveled by voice actors and so called fans for anime not catering to their values. pretty sure they also being sailor mon specific weren't to happy about the changes made to the 90s dubb.
Yes! I missed out on the dolls back in the 90’s because I’m male and wasn’t allowed to play with them, but I always wanted them. Now as an adult doll collector I totally would love to get new dolls of the scouts and many of the fashionable villains; (which seems like such a missed opportunity all things considered) but I totally wish to get the new dolls that were recently released but unfortunately seemed to be exclusive to japan and expensive as well. I also would love a game that isn’t a mobile game too, perhaps several different types of games; like we could totally get a dress up game as well as an rpg game. Sailor moon has the potential for so many types and genres of games that unfortunately aren’t being explored.
Happy Birthday! :-D So, i still hope that we´re getting some henshin wands like the SuperS wands or even the two promised ones ( Star Locket and Super Sailor Chibi Moons Crisis Brooch ). And i would love to get some Glitter&Glamours Sailor Star Lights ^^.
My taste in merchandise is functional, backpacks, t-shirts, embroidered badges, ranging from subtle to brash blinged up logos and crafting things. Take your doll idea DIY it with a sewing pattern kit for Barbie, or colour therapy books. But the problem with sailor moon is it really dosen't have a future, there is no more story beyond the manga, and that a hard sell for corporations to invest in.
Well, Viz has the entire series of the Nineties' series *and* _Crystal_ on UA-cam now. There's that, at least. (What would slap extra hard is if _Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon_ ever got officially translated, but there's no way I'm *ever* expecting that.) As for _Codename: Sailor V:_ Canon to the original manga, but not the Nineties' series. The original adaptation established that Minako was in London during her time as Sailor V, which never happens in that anime. People may find its canonicity dubious, but tbh, _Sailor Moon_ has some issues when it comes to canon anyway, so I'm willing to give _V_ a pass. Everything else, I completely agree with you on. Even well before this series, I myself thought, "Yo, how is this series one of the most recognizable anime franchises on the planet, yet it has next to no merch? I mean, not even dolls? Really? _Sailor Moon_ should be making bank from that *alone."*
Thank you for bringing up the whole doll thing with Sailor Moon merch! I love the collectables, but I would love if we had some type of Monster High / Rainbow High style where we have a sailor senshi in their senshi uniform and then an extra outfit for their everyday wear. Also, I could use a few more Luna and Artemis plushes, but that's jsut me. I am quite annoyed that Japan has some really cute Sailor Moon outfits, but they only accomodate to Japanese sizes, we do have clothing from Box Lunch and Hot Topic. I do own a few Box Lunch sweaters, but I would love a Serenity inspired dress that can fit my American measurements lol! I do appreciate that Bandai / Irwin toys did put out a few of the villain dolls (Tomoe, Kaolinite, etc), but I would love to have a full Witches 5 set...and Mimete's car!
there not a big difference from figures and dolls. but a fashion doll means there multiple outfits Sailor Moon is a fasionabie show sure but i dont think there a lot of people thinking of that I think most people would rather the default sailor scout uniform
I remember reading a sailor moon article and it confused the crap out of me it had told me that they would conceder rebooting the old movies why I don't have the slytist idea
what I would like out of a Sailor moon game, is a beat em up but like what they did with TMNT Shredder's revenge and that upcoming Power Rangers Rita rewind, just the five main sailor scouts (with online play) now that'll be awesome.
Happy birthday! It was my birthday yesterday and my stepmom got me the Sailor Moon Eternal Figuarts figure, which is my first Figurarts figure and these cute Sailor Moon printed socks. They have Sailor Moon from the S season in pixel style and Luna the same way on them. She knows I'm a huge fan of Sailor Moon so I was stoked when I got both items! ^^ As for a merch I want them to release, it would be kinda cool if they did maybe like that globe thing that Helios as Pegasus appears in and like have the globe part be a screen where he appears in and maybe even talks since we have so many toys where you hear the characters talk. That would be interesting. Also the Figuarts of Sailor Cosmos.
There's so much lore built into the show that could be expanded on, it's so fascinating too once you dive deeper into the inspirations like greek mythology, birthstones, zodiac, japanese tadition, etc. You could make an amazing strategy game out of all of it, even continue the story or do a prequel in the silver millennium. IDK, Toei just focuses too much on the kiddie cutesy side of the franchise and forgets about the drama, dark gritty themes and mature story elements. Heck, if done right, Sailor Moon would make a fantastic supernatural live-action show that can out-perform Power Rangers. Japan made one 20 years ago, and it was overall a beautiful and more mature take on the Dark Kingdom arc.
I’ll admit that I had a hard time following the concept about this enemy that features a pretty guardian in a sailor suit fighting monsters, but with time I managed to put together and enjoy it for what it was. Even when I saw the uncut versions of the series itself I start to understand more and more about it however when you compare the original anime with the crystal series, that is more faithful to the manga of the titular character, I actually kind of enjoy the anime a little bit more.
Total opposite for me, Crystal/manga is what sailor moon is meant to be. The classic anime while having great music, art and other individual great stuff, just cannot compare to the OG story.
@@nworder4life very understandable. Like I said I have nothing against the crystal/the manga, I like both. However if I had a choice I'll probably go with the second and the third season of crystal.
@kamenrangerzeo8251 I'm actually rewatching classic SM right now and I really like the R filler arc, but watching classic just makes me really dislike the lack of character growth for usagi. She cries like every other episode and also none of them are smart with common sense things and of course thee story is a jumbled mess between arcs with no connections.
@@nworder4life and I can understand that because they have to change some of the original concept for Western audience. So when they decided to adapt the full series for Crystal arc it would be like okay here's the full story in anime form as it was always meant to be. Although I will admit that some of the R filler arc should have also have been rebooted and maybe expanded upon by the Creator herself.
I had the dolls which seemed poorly made. They also looked really funny. I also have a Sailor Moon bug. That is very pretty, it’s the 90s anime Sailor Moon. Other than a few VHS movies and DVDs of the series that is pretty much all the Sailor Moon merchandise I have.
I wld love to have a figurine of princess lady serenity form eternal movie since she's what she looks like as an adult princess with a pink dress and she's so beautifully to see this in 3D in figurine wld've amazing thing to see
Hey all :) do you really think Japan is over with sailor moon and we will never receive any manga or anime related to it it doesn’t matter if it’s w remake or some new stuff?
Japan should never bother with what the 'worldwide audience' wants. That's the Hollywood approach and see where that's taken that industry. endless remakes and reimaginings.
But the Hollywood movie industry makes billions of dollars and are way more successful than the anime industry. The anime industry jumps at chance to work with major Hollywood studios because that means more money and eyes on their anime.
Japan historically doesn't take outside markets into account unless a project is made with non-Japanese people in mind from the start. Whether it's the product itself, its marketing, its distribution, etc, Japan is their home market and priority. This is also why a lot of material never gets released outside Asia; not a priority unless there's guaranteed profit.
@@CJinMonoit’s also why some flops though that could do better. Look at how Final Fantasy is fairing because they tried pushing just a niche market with Japan and then with Sony only and now they have to branch out. The budgets of these things no longer allow them to just look at one small group if they want to make money.
There are some animes that had the ending changed because it was so popular with western audiences and not so much with Japanese. Also the endless remakes aren't because of western audiences ( most don't want or campaign for remakes etc.) *I mean like a new ending was made because it was just more popular in the west and forgotten elsewhere.
im down for a new video game and maybe a new show to contine its story. i think the merch is fine it get merch which is more than a lot of other anime You go to Hot Topic, Spencers, Game Stop, Five Below and theres Sailor Moon items somewhere. the price might be allover but i don't think its Kids who watch Sailor Moon nowadays
i don't think it has anything to do with not understanding American fans. simply put i don't think the American sailor moon fanbase is as karge as yout thin it is. and at the end of the day if their not going to make money off it than their not going to do it,
It's not really just America, it's any audience outside of Japan. The series was so big in Italy it got an exclusive game for Nintendo DS. That's an example of where it is profitable, but UK viewers are just now getting reprints of the show for their region. SM has been handled mostly poorly outside of Japan, and it's one reason something like Dragon Ball has so much worldwide appeal - they understood how to market it.
I really do wish and I wished this for the longest time ever since I discovered the sh figurarts and I thought we were guna get it when they rereleased the sh figures but sadly no is the expansion on the sh figures series like I wish they made more like the villains Luna and Artemis human forms maybe usagi’s friends and some popular casual outfits we saw in the 90s and crystal anime and maybe the sailor quartets and neo queen serenity sailor galaxia and her minions the star lights and there casual outfits. I would buy every single figure!

I really do wish and I wished this for the longest time ever since I discovered the sh figurarts and I thought we were guna get it when they rereleased the sh figures but sadly no is the expansion on the sh figures series like I wish they made more like the villains Luna and Artemis human forms maybe usagi’s friends and some popular casual outfits we saw in the 90s and crystal anime and maybe the sailor quartets and neo queen serenity sailor galaxia and her minions the star lights and there casual outfits. I would buy every single figure!
I love Sailor Moon!
I WISH WE GET SAILOR MOON DOLLS LIKE IRWIN AND BANDAI AGAIN MAKE BY Hasbro AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY JILL
