Luna can't be a girl, she can't be........

The ears and tail seems so weird.

It looks like that girl (what was her name?) Koike Rina? I wonder if it's really Luna in human form or just another character. Because Luna being a little girl would be weird. The costume looks silly.

The text in the speech bubble says: "In April, a New Character, Sailor Luna (Koike Rina), Enters".

So yes, that is Sailor Luna, and yes, she is being played by Koike Rina. ^_^

Also, I'm going to combine this thread ("Mysterious New Senshi Hath been Revealed [PIC]") with the New Sailormoon Toy thread, since they are both talking about the same thing (and the same picture).

I wish they would have gone along with the design of Luna's hair in the manga, and just made a wig with 4 odango. But I guess if they did that, she couldn't have the cat ears and tail since there would be no room on her head. Still, the outfit looks more like a halloween costume than a uniform on that little girl.

*cringes. Just... cringes* I think Chibiusa is cuter, even if she is a brat.

I guess that I'll add my 2 cents. I think that she is hella cute, and I will eventually get the doll to add to my collection. My only complaint is that the cat ears look a little to hokie, but other than that, kawaii. Has anyone noticed that there is sort of a Mew Ichigo feel to Sailor Luna, or is that just how I see it?

I have a question ..

if luna is going to become a senshi, how is she going to have han keiko's voice? will han keiko not be doing the voice of luna anymore?

Somehow I feel that Sailor Luna and Luna are 2 separate entities. They share the word Luna in their name but that's probably as far as it goes. Sailor Luna could really be the fleshing out of the concept of the moon fairy Diana that Ms. Takeuchi originally designed but never used.

Also I think her costume looks like Diana the cat's human form (to a certain degree anyways).

& Rina is cute~Although I am still against this whole concept of Sailor Luna >_<

I think that would be too confusing. This is a little kids show, remember. It wouldn't make sense for them to have two different characters called "Luna." If they were seperate characters, then the writers could have easily come up with another name for her. (Hopefully, they are creative enough for that. XD)

I just heard it was going to be Sailor Luna. All I can say is No No and NO! This isn't right. She's supposed to be guardian and that's it. Methinks they'll still keep her plushie form, otherwise they'd lose a reason for selling toys to little kids. However, that only calms me a little, since it doesn't erase the fact that their still making a SAILORLUNA!!!!!! I think the only thing that'd make me less eccentric is if Takeuchi-san was in on this and whole heartedly supports the idea, otherwise I'd form a band of PGSM fans and tp the producers' homes.

all the senshi are sailor guardians. How would luna becoming a senshi not make her a guardian?

besides, I think it's a interesting idea. I'd like to see a sailor luna.

I mean more in a sense of an advisor, not a fighter.

denelson83 · **Posted:** Sat Mar 27, 2004 6:50 am

Just noticed something...

If you look very closely at the back bow region of that outfit, that sort of looks like part of a black cat's head.

Theedqueen · **Posted:** Sat Mar 27, 2004 6:52 am

n/ to burst your bubble, but I still think it looks like a bow.

Don't worry kiddies. I suspect Luna the Cat will be sticking around. The only time you'll be seeing Sailor Luna is when she's needed for a fight and then Luna will chuck out a....

"Luna Power, Meow Up!"

or even better...

"Kitty Power, Fur-ball Up!"

Then we'll get some terrible expensive and frighteningly cute transformation sequence, and before you know it, Hey Preseto, Luna will grow human legs. But, just like a tadpole turning into a frog, Luna will retain her thoroughly merchandisable (and cute as a button) tail and ears in their original plushie form.

Remember, Plushie Luna (hereafter known as PLU-LU) never really had a larynx, so it seems likely that the flesh and blood luna (hereafter known as FAB-LU), and who one assumes does possess one, will necessarily sound different.

Plushie voice boxes and human voices boxes just work differently. It's the Sailor Law.

Er... She is cute... but... Why does nobody say that "TOEI is LUNATIC!"?

I have this sudden mental image of the plushie Luna hacking up a hairball that turns into her transformation bracelet, or something like that.

Yeah, me too

At first glance, I don't like it. The costume seems a little much. But we'll see. It could be a great plot device, it could wind up sucking. Either way, we'll certainly all have very determined opinions very soon!

GracieLizzy · **Posted:** Sat Mar 27, 2004 8:32 pm

I actually like it, although I think she looks a little like an amalgamation of Iron Mouse and human Diana.

I don't want to judge her based on the cuteness, but she doesn't really look like she means business

I mean, Chibi Moon was cute too and was even less frilly but her pink sugar heart attack? Ugh...

Are you sure of that....?

Jendra · **Posted:** Sun Mar 28, 2004 3:33 am

I'm hoping she will, for all of our sakes. I mean, the sailor's wigs looked a little grody at first but they look great now.. and there ahve been other cool upgrades in the show like the music and youmas...

Maybe this costumes was just thrown together for the photo. Maybe it will look better in the show?

Right now, she kind of looks like Santa's christmas cat.

P.s. Just because everyone has been asking "what about Artemis?" is this: http://mangastyle.net/book4/nt4-057.jpg Artemis, Luna and Diana? It's a tad off topic I know, but this was the only place I thought it might belong.

Koika Rina... adorable! So cute, that if she were any cuter, she'd be too cute.... but if you look at the "works" she has listed... the only one I could find a picture of is an idol DVD...

http://www.idolland.co.jp/shop/img/clr-4003.jpg

I mean... the Me You thing was pretty scary, but this is a really little girl.... how can they possibly have made a DVD all about her running around being cute and have it not be disturbingly jailbaitish? The other DVDs on http://www.idolland.co.jp/ look a lot more risquè with slightly older "idols." I'm just disturbed... At what point do their parents (or social services for that matter...) step in and say. " :wtf:

" Pretty soon they'll have 5 year olds with their own DVDs where they prance around in their little kiddie swimsuits and arm floats and try to look coy and enticing to really strange older men... I think I'm going to go sleep and have nightmares about being overprotective of any future children I might have... O.o;;

Crap... I just realized what I have my current child, Tuxedo Speedo, doing... :tuxspeedomask:

hoshiko · **Posted:** Sun Mar 28, 2004 11:35 am

I found a clip of Koike Rina's DVD and uploaded it to my xdrive for you guys:

http://plus.xdrive.com/u/34971503/22013 ... mGN4PnxMba

It's a little more than a minute long, and if you ignore the kind of creepiness that's inherant when a 10 year old girl is paraded around in a swimsuit, she's really cute.

Too confusing for me...in spanish the word "Moon" is "Luna", for this, we have one Sailor Moon-Usagi (aka "Guerrero Luna" in spanish) and one Sailor Luna-Luna (aka "Guerrero Luna" in spanish)..., ouch, is the same thing...

but, is cute : D
