^^; yay?
I'm not really sure how to react to this, provided that it's valid (I don't keep up with SM in Japan. I barely keep up with SM in America.). Are we talking re-releasing the movies in theater, LaserDisc or DVD? I mean, it's a good thing for the new SM fans to get a chance to own the movies, but it's likely they can pick up the movies from a store or a video rental.

I'm not sure why they would re-release something that can be easily found, like Sailormoon. Unless they are doing something like Pioneer/Geanon[Did I spell that right?] and releasing it as something like a "Signature Series" and reducing the price.

The DVD release of the movies was limited edition, and went OOP almost immediately. I hope that if what Dragon_King says is true, it also leads to a reprint of the R2 DVD box set of the movies. (At the time I decided not to buy it, but in retrospect I wish I had.)

Well, I had heard about a DVD release last year, containing the three movies plus the specials, like Ami-chan no hastukoi and the Make up! Sailor Senshi (I think that's the title).

So when I saw the box at a con I bought it... but I think I got a bootleg cause i didn't see those bonuses u_u;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; stupid me!

I really don't know what to think about the Sailor Moon movies being re-released in Japan. I kind of find it hard to believe, but not at all completely impossible for them to be re-relased in Japanese theaters. Really, since the anime has already been completed in Japan, I don't really care about what happens to the anime because I'm more concerned about the series in the U.S.

Cool...Sailormoon widescreen in a movie theater. Lucky Japanese Sailormoon fans! Granted, I already own all of the movies in Japanese (and Englsih) on VHS, but I still would like to see it on a movie screen. Movies just seem better that way..

I wish I could see the movies on the big screen, that would be really cool.
