If there has been one classic anime series that has received the most requests to see a release once again on the international market, it would most likely be Sailor Moon. During their Anime Central panel this week, Viz Media announced their acquisition of every episode from every season of the Sailor Moon anime franchise in addition to all the other special episodes released during its history.

The series will be released via streaming, digital and home video distribution formats across North America, and will be available with both the original Japanese dub in addition to a new uncut English dub being commissioned for the entire series with brand new voice actors and actresses. Official streaming is set to begin from May 19th, 2014. The first physical Blu-ray / DVD Combo and DVD sets are begin for release in North America this Fall.

No Australian anime publisher has announced similar plans, although it wouldn’t surprise me if Madman Entertainment are just holding off on the right occasion to announce their plans.

We plan on releasing ALL 200 episodes, ALL uncut, ALL remastered. All relationships, genders and names will be restored to the original Japanese storyline. Oh and by the way, get ready for Sailor Moon Crystal. How’s that to end your weekend?
