The original series debuted in Japan 22 years ago, and now your favorite schoolgirl superhero is back! The remake will air in Japan on July 5 through Niconico and in North America through Viz Media. The 26-episode new series will air every first and third Saturdays of each month.
The official website of the "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal" gave their fans a sneak peek of what to expect in the upcoming series. They released the first trailer for the "Sailor Moon" 2014, which featured the theme song entitled "Moon Pride" by Japanese girl group Momoiro Clover Z.
The song was composed by Linked Horizon's Revo, who did the opening themes for "Attack on Titan". The reboot's ending theme entitled "Moon Rainbow" ("Tsuki Niji") was also performed by the idol group and was composed by Akiko Kosaka, who did the ending theme of the original series.
