Sailormoon is one of the most classic and ionic animes to have ever existed, and now, it's coming back and will hopefully be better than ever. Toei Animation, a credible source since it has been known to be involved with the production of Sailormoon for years, has just recently released the first image for the new series. The new series, which will premiere in July of this year, will hopefully show both a revamped but still similar Sailormoon to the original series. Anyway, the image uses bright coloring to attract people to it and strategic placement of smaller images in order to attract attention and convey possible hidden meanings in addition to getting people excited for the new series. .
The picture itself uses very distinct and bold coloring in order to garnish attention. The background is mainly dark but the main figure, Sailormoon, is highlighted by the light from the bright moon and the flower above her head. Sailormoon is in her costume consisting mainly of red, white, and blue. Her golden hair twirls throughout the entire image. There are also rainbows enhancing the coloring of Sailormoon. Basically, just seeing the image would get anyone’s attention but would also attract its intended audience of Sailormoon fans because the coloring is very recognizable.
For the people who have read the Sailormoon manga or have watched the anime, they know that there’s a lot of symbolism. That symbolism is also shown with the placement of smaller images. For example, on Sailormoon’s broach and chain coming from her collar are four circles of the colors red, orange, blue, and green. Those colors represent her four teammates, the sailor scouts. Not only do those circles represent the sailor scouts, but they were not on her old uniform, signifying a change in Sailormoon’s costume. Behind her in the dark solar system are the planets that also represent those sailor scouts. The flower above Sailormoon’s head is the Illusionary Silver Crystal in the state it was during the movie “A Kiss from a Rose”. These imagery placements are truly for the knowledgeable Sailormoon fans.
