Sailor Moon Collection 2012 Video #5

In this video I talk about the animation cels in my collection. Animation cels are quite a unique item as no two are exactly alike, their costs vary depending on many factors, including: the character, what they are wearing, along with the condition of the cel itself. Owning a cel is literally owning a piece of the show!

I hope you liked the video, be sure to check out my other ones!

Interrupting my hiatus to bring you special news!

There will be a new Sailor Moon anime series coming in the summer of 2013!
It is said that while the original voice actors for Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask were at the event, there was no confirmation (yet) that they will be reprising their roles.

It has also been said that the new anime will be released worldwide, but it is unknown whether this will be only through DVD with subtitles, or if it will be translated into other languages and dubbed by voice actors. 

In any case, the news is very exciting for many fans who have wanted a new series!




There are more details at the animenewsnetwork site.

Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary in the LA Times

“We believe that part of the lasting appeal of ‘Sailor Moon’ comes from the empowerment that it provides,” says Yasumasa Shimizu, President of Kodansha Ltd., which publishes the English translation of the manga in America. “It is a story that encourages young people to stand up for themselves, be independent, and fight for what is right. Sailor Moon’s journey is one of friendship, determination, magic and love.”

20th Anniversary / My Birthday!!!

Made by Dragonfly

My Birthday: March 7th, 1989.
Sailor Moon Anime first aired: March 7th, 1992 in Japan.

So today, March 7th, 2012 is both my 23rd birthday and the 20th Anniversary of the Sailor Moon Anime!


So obviously this birthday is pretty exciting with all of the new merchandise being released in the states and abroad. I plan on going out and trying to get myself something today after I go take a midterm exam.
But in the meantime, here are some fun photos! (Mostly of SM inspired cakes!)

Right: So far this is my favorite Sailor Moon inspired cake! 



A birthday cake from the anime.

Fun Fact: Usagi and Chibiusa's birthday is 30th of June.







 Some cute cookies, lollipops, etc! Check these and many more out at 3 O'clock Fairy!

A Luna-Inspired Birthday cake!

This one is really cute, I love all of the detail!

She looks just like Luna from the anime!

I found this one on wordpress here: Jemgirl

This one is really amazing!

Apparently Usagi on top is many pieces of fondant layered on top of each other after being cut out. I'm sure that took a lot of tedious work, but it really looks great.

This cake is by Valerie Elizabeth Confections

Sailor Moon in Balloon form!

This darling was made by Rainbow of Balloons here on Blogspot!

As cute as she is, I don't think I'd ever be able to recreate this!

And finally, these adorable Sailor Moon Cat inspired shoes!

Created by aishavoya on Etsy. Sadly they are a bit expensive at $85 + shipping, but they are custom made just for your shoe size, and obviously take a lot of time and effort to make! Check out their other designs, too.

These would be a perfect addition to your growing Sailor Moon wardrobe thanks to all of the new clothing and accessories GE Animation, FYE, and Hot topic are selling!


Well, I hope everyone has a great day!  Feel free to ask or share anything you like, especially if it's about Sailor Moon! :)
