The special program commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon anime announced on Thursday that it will receive a new two-part anime movie sequel adapting the Shadow Galactica arc, which is the final arc of Naoko Takeuchi's manga. The official site also revealed the main staff, a teaser visual (pictured), and a teaser trailer. The movies, titled Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Cosmos, are scheduled to open in theaters in early Summer 2023.

Well, it's taken almost TEN YEARS, but the Crystal adaption is finally almost over.

It’s going to be far more depressing than the Sailor Stars arc back in the late 90s I heard.

I really have to pick up Sailor Moon Crystal again and watch the Eternal movies.

Fair enough, but a worthless director. No doubt that'll cramp an otherwise decent storyline.

Looking forward to it.
I liked the Sailor Stars Arc in the Manga.

So glad to see they're gonna adapt the whole manga after all. And since it's a movie it'll likely have good quality.

This is some pretty nice news -- I just recently finished reading the manga after really enjoying the Crystal series so far. So, I'm looking forward to seeing the Stars Arc animated.

Sailor Moon Crystal + Eternal has been very faithful to the original manga albeit with a few changes... hope that answers what I think is your question.

Yeah, that sort of does actually, thanks!

And basically, what I asked for earlier was whether or not the Shadow Galactica arc was adapted in the 90s/00s?

I'd say Sailor Stars VERY loosely covered this arc since the actual events in the manga are a lot more straight to the point in being far more depressing.

Though the entire manga as a whole is generally more tragic and filler-less compared to the 90s anime lol

@Fario-P Cool, that’s just what I needed to hear! Banzai to more faithful remakes.

Well, there is still time for release of this finale. But maybe i can start binging the old adaptation and wait for this to complete.

Okay, that’s good to see!

I’ve been planning to give the remake a shot for a while now.

This is going to be a legend. Finally the true ending of best shoujo and one of the most influential fiction ever is getting animated. I hope it gets the recognition it deserves.
