If your language is not listed on Niconico, please don’t contact me! I’m just a huge Sailor Moon fan closely following news and the SMC staff on twitter/FB. I’m here to help share news with you as quickly as I can. I don’t work for these companies. If you want to see your language, feel free to contact the big people on top!
I also wanted to note that Hulu/Neon Alley, Crunchyroll, and Niconico are all LEGAL STREAMING sites. So you can watch Sailor Moon Crystal for FREE and LEGALLY. By supporting official, legal simulcasts of Sailor Moon Crystal, you are supporting the show and the staff. If there’s enough popularity, we may see a second season down the road! Sailor Moon Crystal will be following the first arc of the manga (as stated on the official Sailor Moon website) which involves Queen Beryl and the Dark Kingdom. So if you want to possibly see Chibiusa and the outers down the road, please show your support and watch legally for free!!
For more information on streaming via Niconico, please view my old post here.

Only one more week!!!!!
ONE WEEK!
After these years of waiting, we’re down to just a week. Can you believe it?
Right now I’m really looking forward to seeing the opening credits.There’s so many ways they could go with it, it’s impossible to guess what they’ll look like. Will it have the strange imagery present in some of the original anime’s openings, or will it be more cute and straightforward like Stars of PGSM? I hope we get shots of all our girls in motion, but I also sort of think they’ll keep up the anticipation for their episodes and mostly focus on Usagi.
What do you hope to see in the opening? Or, what are you most excited to see in Crystal overall?
Brain. Brain. We need to talk.
We’ve got a week until Crystal. We’ve been waiting years for this. When I’’m conscious you’re very excited. I know.
SO WHY DID YOU HAVE ME DREAM ABOUT FREE! ETERNAL SUMMER?
Yes it premiers two days before Crystal. Yes, I do like Free! very much. Yes I’m sure it’s confusing since half the boys share names with Sailor Moon girls.
But for heavens sake if you’re gonna give me a dream about someone getting flustered because a tall, sweet Makoto kissed them on the cheek, get your prioritiees strait.
Eight days is a weird number to start a countdown on, but I’ve reached the point of being too excited about Crystal not to have some outlet. I’m not sure if I’ll try and draw something for all the remaining days, but I’ll do something to countdown.
Today I want to talk about how excited I am for Crystal!Naru. I’ve always really liked Naru (even when I knew her as Molly), but PGSM brought her to a whole nother level. I hope Crystal keeps a few of her PGSM aspects, particularly her awareness. She always knew when something was wrong, whether it was that her mother was replaced by a youma or just that Mio was spreading lies about Usagi. It gave her a sense of capability even though she didn’t have powers, and I think it would be so cool if some of that carried over.
However, even if she follows her manga or original anime characterization 100%, I’m really looking forward to seeing her next Saturday (especially since we haven’t even seen her design yet). I’m really really happy they’re keeping the jewelry store first episode. I think it’s amazing that all (non-musical) versions start at the same place, but end up being so different. Usagi’s relationship with Naru is such a great starting point, too. I can’t wait to see where Crystal goes with it.
I’ve had a few people asking me if we will need Hulu Plus to watch Sailor Moon Crystal on Hulu. As you can see above, the answer from Viz Media, the official source, is, “No.”
So basically, you will able to watch the Sailor Moon Crystal simulcast on Hulu/Neon Alley LEGALLY without having to pay a dime. (Unless, of course, you want to stream it on your television or mobile device.)
Sailor Moon Crystal will also be simulcast streaming (legally) on Crunchyroll and Niconico; however, Viz Media will not be able to view the “view count” for Sailor Moon Crystal via these other services as you can see in their tweet above. This is pretty important considering Viz Media would be the company to eventually dub Sailor Moon Crystal and put it on Blu-Ray/DVD for western audiences. Viz Media needs to actually see how well it’s doing in order to put it out on Blu-Ray/DVD as well as dub it. (I don’t know if Toei Animation is able to view the “view count” on western streaming services; however, I wouldn’t be worried about it since basically all anime are streamed simulcast from Japan using legal streaming services like Hulu, Neon Alley, and Crunchyroll. I do know that all of the head honchos on Sailor Moon Crystal have been keeping an eye on that Youtube view count for international viewers as they’ve tweeted about it quite a few times! Good going you guys!)
The official Sailor Moon Crystal page on Hulu is located here. Be sure to like it, favorite it, share it, etc!!
Sailor Moon Crystal will begin streaming simultaneously world wide beginning July 5 at 6am EST.

“Tsuki ni kawatte oshioki yo!”
I’m in love with how Jupiter looks in this promotional image. She looks so tough and strong but effortless, like she doesn’t even care, she could crush you if she wanted but she isn’t even going to be bothered. As much as I adore the picture of everyone at Crown this is my favourite Crystal art to date.
