I personally like the new series as well as the old anime. I am very huge fan of all the Sailor Moon reincarnations. You can just see them as an other version with other aspects. I love the new animation art, the new music and the original storyline made into anime. I am a fan since I was 5 years old and still keep Sailor Moon in my heart.

I would like to know if there are people like me who keep watching these series.
I am curious to know how many people like the new series. And tell me if you're an old fan or a new fan.

Greetings from an old Moonie

Only some people still watch the series. Most people dropped it after the first episode or so though due to the hype.
added the fourth most popular anime onto this site

People will watch it when it finishes airing, due to fatigue from having to wait 2 weeks per episode.

I still watch it, but every time I do it get's worse and worse. I have hopes it will get better, but so far for me it's the worse anime of 2014.

I watched the old series in Swedish dub, solely because I at one point watched it when I was younger at my cousin's house.

I am not even remotely interested in this one.

Like I said, most people will marathon it when it finishes. Releasing it bi-weekly was really stupid.

Watching: 28,931

And I think it's around average, the same as the old series that I first fully watched a year or two ago.

It's also really terrible in terms of quality - and it's not just being an anime snob or anything.

It's rushed, even at 2 week intervals, and they are already cleaning up episodes for the DVD releases. The scenes they've shown that have been cleaned up already look 100% better, so it's utter bullshit that scenes are going out with the wonk-faced sailors and the crap backgrounds.

And even if you give it the benefit of "lack of time to animate" - the story isn't compelling.

The art saved the manga, the story saved the original anime. The original manga plays out akin to the new series, but was lovingly drawn and had a unique style to it that gave it a lot of passion. This rushed series undoes all that by having shitty art, so you're stuck with a tepid story. Sailor Moon is a story that could be better.

The original anime works on that premise - it has passable art and animation and cuts corners in the right places - tranformation sequences and reusing attacks - because it spent its time and effort expanding the characters and giving them depth. The old anime is a much better story than either the original manga or the new anime.

Manga was like 10 on art, 4-5 on story. Old anime was like 10 on story, 6-7 on art. The new anime is 4-5 on story, 4-5 on art. That's why it sucks.

Adding something to your list does not mean you are actually watching it. They might be watching sporadically, or waiting until the end.

But the original was insanely popular at one point. Yeah, there's no MAL stats to show that, but the original lived on network TV for a while and was watched by many.

You mention you just saw it a year or so ago, but I remember going in to class and talking to friends about which episode was on that day or the day before. I remember chatting about "omg, I hear we get to meet Sailor Pluto!" and "I'm going as human-Luna for halloween!" "Human Luna?" "Omg, you're watching the dub and haven't gotten the full series subbed yet?" type discussions.

I'd say in terms of overall penetration into the American psyche, original Sailor Moon anime was as popular - if not more popular - than Attack on Titan is/was recently, but did so for a loooong time. If more Titan comes out and it keeps up the momentum it'll be similar, but until then, Titan might just be a blip.

I remember when people thought Sailor Moon was a cartoon and didnt know what anime was.

Also Sailor Moon was way more popular than Attack on Titan. It would be better to compare it to Yu gi Oh or DBZ in the states.

I find it stupid that there's many sections to reflect what status you're at with a show and then you still contest them that much. Most of the people who have it in each category are probably doing what that category is, there's no facts to disprove that. The guy only asked if there were people still watching this and I provided the stats.

Have no idea what your post has to do with mine. He's not asking for how many people are watching it compared to the original, it's just how many people are watching it.

Once again has nothing to do with my post, sounds just like an anecdote.

Ok.. first off.. you're both dense and rude. Not sure why for either, but I'll put that out there for the slightest chance no one has told you that before.

And the OP specifically asks about the old versus the new.

I am still watching it and enjoying it! I couldn't stand the original and thought it was cheesy girly BS!

Gave the re-make a chance and I am actually enjoying it much more than I expected I would!

Bi-monthly airings doesn't bother me one bit as I have so many other series I watch in a season this is one less I have to keep track of weekly as I knew ahead of time that it was only airing twice a month!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

I almost died when I heard they were doing a remake of Sailor Moon
I think I was 10 years old when I watched the first version and I loved it the same as Im loving this new one. But still I agree that is really annoying to wait this much for each episode

I don't think it has anything to do with your post either, and he felt offended because yo told him so... talking about dense.

And anyway, stats show Watching: 28,931. Most of those people don't participate in forum discussions, you know? I bet there is a lot of people who do enjoy the series and really like it but can't be bothered to go against haters. I like the new version, it's not the old one but it's good anyway. In my case, I got bored after only reading about how bad it was compared to the old version and the manga, so now I just talk about it with a friend who watches it and lives nearby.

I think the biggest problem of this new version is that people remember something great and amazing from 15 years ago, and with time our perception changes, when I was 6 I had no idea what it meant to have a bad animation sequence nor had I a problem if they messed someones uniform, now I notice it, but oh well, I'm still enjoying it and remembering how in love I was with Serena and Darian as a kid (Latinamerican names).

I dropped it while watching episode 13 when it aired. It's just way too boring for me, I don't want to bother with any longer. Why am I even here.
Honestly I'd rather just rewatch the original TV show. I'm buying the new DVD sets anyway.

I just ask who is following this series. I would like to know if you're an old or a new fan of Sailor Moon. I don't need to know how many people are not following this because for that there's already a thread for.

I'm an old fan, but I've also enjoyed the new one so far! I recently finished all the new episodes. Pluto is my favorite. ^-^

I was honestly let down and disappointed in the remake. It was pretty but not to the standard I was hoping for.
It was dreadfully boring and had a lack of personality.
Nothing was engaging, the characters felt pointless and replaceable.

BUT, the new season (episode 27 and onwards) appear to have made dramatic changes and is starting to look promising.
It's beautiful, it felt nostalgic and better yet, the transformation sequence was what everyone wanted.
NO CG!!!

The characters are finally showing some personality and it feels nostalgic.

I look forward to the further episodes to come :)

Watched 4 episodes when it was released, kinda got bored, I'm "rewatching" it now, mostly because I saw an Youtube video about Sailor Saturn and she is my favourite and I hope they don't do her dirty this time.
