SM Crystal News: Viz will be using the BD Masters! *UPDATE*

Today, Viz Media had a couple panels at Anime Boston–the Sailor Moon panel, and the Viz Media panel. The long-awaited dub for Crystal is happening, and more to the point of this post: Viz Media will be using the BluRay Masters of Sailor Moon Crystal! Here’s the confirmation tweet, straight from Viz’s Sailor Moon twitter account:

So, good news has come at last, and it’s safe to say that whatever the BluRay changes are, in upcoming releases from Japan, that’s what we’ll expect, when Viz bring them out! Kudos, Viz Media and the Sailor Moon team! 😉 Stay tuned, next Wednesday or Thursday, when we’ll go through Acts 13 & 14, from Volume 7’s release…and we’ll see if they fixed the “Queen Serenity in Princess’ dress” gaffe.

UPDATE 4/4/15

From the Viz Media panel, one of the Q&A questions was answered, regarding Crystal’s dubbing:

Hopefully, this means we get a much better script, than Toei did.

Site Update, as of 2/18/15

I took some time to address some issues with Acts 5 thru 10. Here’s what I did:

  • Acts 5 & 6 comparison pics have been moved onto the site, and you can see the changes from their pages with a mouseover, instead of clicking to screenshotcomparisons.com, which is still down, as of this writing, to see it. The HTML mouseover code was also changed for only a couple gifs , with the reason described below.
  • The HTML mouseover codes on Acts 7 thru 10 have changed, but you won’t notice them on PC. It only affects people, who browse the site via smartphone or tablet, who had the issue of seeing the ONA pic disappear, after tapping away from seeing the Home Video/BluRay image.
