Some pretty big news today concerning the, what looks to be, return of Sailor Moon!
Almost immediately after the announcement that the rights to Sailor Moon have been released and that the show would once again be airing in Italy and Japan a press release (http://corp.toei-anim.co.jp/press/2009/08/animo20098.php) was released announcing a brand new Sailor Moon mobile phone website for users in Japan.
The website offers Sailor Moon mobile phone ring tones (currently the Japanese theme, HEART MOVING and Sailor Star Song) as well as animated downloads and soon (not yet online) all 200 episodes of the anime for download to handsets.
If you have a phone that's web capable, you can check out the site at it's address: www.smoon.jp.
Some things worth mentioning is that in the footer of the page the PNP can be seen, showing that Naoko is still involved in the franchise and that there hasn't been any major change in ownership. It's also interesting to see that the Japanese logo for the series simply says "Sailor Moon". There is no mention of "Pretty Soldier", "Pretty Guardian", etc.
Possible re-branding of the series? It's possible (though by no means confirmed).
Exciting times!
