According to the Save Our Sailors (SOS)
website, Cartoon Network will start airing new Sailor Moon episodes
late September or early October. The new episodes (SuperS series)
will revolve more around Rini more than Sailor Moon (Serena) and will
introduce a whole new storyline for the Sailor Scouts.
Here is a snip from SOS concerning
the new season: "In late September or possibly early October, the
network intends to premiere the English dub of the 'Sailormoon SuperS'
(SuperS) television series."
In addition, during the recent Sailor
Moon series, Cartoon Network decided to skip a certain episode because
of controversial material. In other words, there was nudity and therefore
could not show the entire episode. However, since the series is now
in its second showing, CN is expecting to air that episode on September
13.
Here is what SOS had to say about the
situation: "On Friday, July 21, 2000, the Cartoon Network should have
presented the next episode of 'Sailor Moon S' but didn't. Instead,
it skipped an episode. It turns out that the episode was rejected
because the Monster Of The Day (known in the original as the daimon
Uchoten) was, '...Again too naked!' And also that some edits should
have been made."
The dates above are not official and
are subject to change. We will have more information in the near future.
