Main Cast, Visual, and Teaser Video Revealed for Sailor Moon Eternal Film

Good news to all Moonies out there: we finally have some major news on the much-awaited Sailor Moon Eternal film (the first one)! Last Thursday, Toei unveiled a teaser video for the first of two upcoming films. Check it out here!

A new main visual was also released for the film, which confirms its September 11 release this year (we hope this does not get moved)!

The original cast from the Sailor Moon Crystal anime series returns for the movie. They are:

·        Kotono Mitsuishi as Usagi Tsukino / Sailor Moon

·        Hisako Kanemoto as Ami Mizuno / Sailor Mercury

·        Rina Satou as Rei Hino / Sailor Mars

·        Ami Koshimizu as Makoto Kino / Sailor Jupiter

·        Shizuka Itou as Minako Aino / Sailor Venus

·        Misato Fukuen as Chibi-Usa / Sailor Chibi Moon

Helios/Pegasus will be played by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, who is also known for voicing Kirito in Sword Art Online as well as Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba’s Inosuke.

No release date has been announced yet for the second movie. Toei announced that they will be co-producing the films with Studio DEEN. Chiaki Kon, who directed the third season of Sailor Moon Crystal (which critics deemed an improvement from the first two seasons) will be returning to direct the two films. Character design will be done by Kazuko Tadano, who is credited for the same role in the original anime. The script will be penned by JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure’s Kazuyuki Fudeyasu, with the manga’s author herself Naoko Takeuchi serving as supervisor to the movies.

The two-part film is part of Sailor Moon Crystal, the modern reiteration of the beloved anime classic. Unlike the 90s anime, Crystal adapted the entire manga’s story and also stayed closer to the manga’s art style. Three TV seasons were released so far for Crystal: the first centered on the Dark Kingdom arc from the manga, the second on the arrival of the Black Moon Clan and Chibiusa, and the third featured the Death Busters and the introduction of the Outer Senshi (Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, Pluto). Most Moonies were waiting for news of a fourth season, which is supposed to adapt the Dead Moon arc; now, we’ll be getting two movies instead.
