Just like Hollywood which has run out of ideas and has to film movies based on Bible stories (just kiddin' but there is always some truth in every joke), Japanese anime industry has run our of ideas so much it has to make movies and anime based on long-forgotten or not-forgotten but still old stories. Captain Harlock on your screens in beautiful but empty 3D, a series of RuroKen with young cute actors, what next?
A new Sailor Moon.
I haven't read the original manga, you know. You may think I therefore have no basis to say so. But Sailor Moon means more than anything else to those born in 80s and 90s in Russia. Dozens of episodes changes, directors come and go, the story bends as they like and art does so, but Peach Hips and all the other seiyuus - able to sing, by the way - and heartbreaking music, and sincerity of the narration cannot be replaced by something else after 20 years have passed by.
Their time is gone.
Hey, Japan. How about creating something equally splendid basing it on a modern concept instead?
