hmm... cute lil doll, though it doesnt really look like Sailor Luna that much... The face and hair doesnt look right... Does she have a tail? XD
But cool, they're actually making dolls of Live action characters.

I've been rewatching Sailor Moon for the hell of it. I was watching act. 45 (Jupiter almost kills herself) and when Minako shoulds out 'Makoto!' I just keep thinking her voice is soo cute!
I was also watching act. 47 and I found that Rei (actress of Rei anyways) seems to show the most emotion when Minako dies. Her reaction is so realitstic compaired to the other girls, its really an amazing preformance. She is kind of my favorite actress on the show, she has such a range of emotion and I hope she goes far as an actress.

Emphasis would be mostly on Rei anyway- so the actresses did a good job (Though I'd expect more reaction from Usagi, since she loved Minako) The emotions were somewhat disturbing that they didn't look that sad.. I mean, Ami hardly knew her, so it "ok"..but the others were.. :S

Rei and Makoto really showed it, the two of them bursted into tears. Usagi's emotions looked really fake. I agree about Ami, she really didn't need to show much emotion sinces she never really got attached to her. But even Artemis had more emotion then Usagi... and he's a plush.

I'm just wandering why they made Special Act so "final" like... This Live Action series was so popular..they should have continued it with the Outer senshi.. >.< Its high unlikely there's any other acts or sequels.. (unless they put a sequal which runs between the acts and the special act...) and then it ends with the Outer senshi gone (so it wouldnt look weird why they didn't turn up in usagi's wedding..) But Im just blabbing in my own little world.. I miss Live action

Thanks to Live ActionA note from Takeuchi Naoko to the PGSM cast (Please note that Takeuchi Naoko refers to herself as "hime," which means princess, and is generally flaky overall) Live action--the dream of this princess! Every week, full of pretty girls! It was such a fun project. I would like to use this space to give my thanks to the production staff and the supporting fans. Thank you very much! Sweet rice cakes of thanks and touched emotions! Good job! Now, Princess can slowly enjoy the DVDs all over again. Next time, please make a live action show with all of the Senshi! I entrust it to you, Maki-san! (Maki-san is Bandai's agent who takes care of Princess, so let's write letters of request to Maki-san)! Messages to the six princesses that I wasn't able to give at the cast party: To Sailor Moon ~ Sawai Miyuu-chan: At first, there was another Sailor Moon candidate, and everyone was leaning towards her. But Princess thought that it could only be Miyuu¨Cchan, and I said so! Then, everyone chose Miyuu-chan! Miyuu-chan, who¡¢during the cast party slipped letters to the staff that she stayed up the night before to write. Miyuu-chan who pushed herself to do her best more than anyone else! Thank you! Good job! (Oh, I feel like I'm getting mushy) To Sailor Mercury ~ Hama Chisaki-chan (now Rika): The unforgettable "Saza-nami" during the audition (burst of laughter). Your homemade flower postcard is a treasure of mine. Chisaki-chan, who is like a newborn fairy--you are a senior to the other models on Melon. Good luck, senpai! To Sailor Mars ~ Kitagawa Keiko-chan: Aniki (one of Keiko's nicknames, which means "older one" in a rougher, manly way) treasures the original manga and talked in a Seventeen interview about the charm from the Hikawa Shrine that Princess gave her. Rei-chan is yours forever! To Sailor Jupiter ~ Azama Mew-chan: It was the Princess' joy to see you every week in Seventeen along with your appearance on the television show. Mew-chan, who takes care of her beautiful hair! Good luck on your journey to becoming a top model and actress! Jupiter, too, is Mew's! To Sailor Venus ~ Komatsu Ayaka-chan: When I first met you, you seemed like a glass girl who would break when touched. She is shy of people--Ayaka-chan who had a feeble voice. I am sure someday you will be a wonderful actress! Thank you for a cool Sailor V and Venus! To Luna ~ Koike Rina: When you passed the audition, you thought it was for the part of Chibiusa, and you were so happy--I'm sorry that it turned out to be Luna! As a lover of pink, she was so happy when I gave her a Prada pencil case and a pencil at the cast party. lol ^_^;;To the Queen ~ Sugimoto Aya-sama: Even during the cold and hard film shoots in the cave, Aya-sama kept smiling and talked to me serenely. If you get a chance, I'd like to spend all night drinking with you. Thank you for everything. To the King ~ Shibue Jyoji-kun: Every week, I wasn't able to watch you properly because I was fluttering inside (cries). He is this princess' most ideal Prince! Gain popularity very very soon, and make sure you appear a lot on TV (but then, you won't be able to concentrate on other things!) To Prince Shingo ~ Takeshi Naoki-kun: Naoki-kun, who played Shingo, is the son of my chief's younger sister! Good luck, Naoki! Reach for Cannes! Source: www.shingetsu-pgsm.net/- - - Pretty neat huh? Here's another picture shown on the side cover of the DVD box Set for Act Zero.

WOW! Does anyone else find it OVERLY funny that she was casted AS Chibiusa just to hide the fact from all the fans that Sailor Luna would be a character?
Thats what I call SMART THINKING!!! I think they did that for Mio too...
I do like that picture, very nice. There is a pink one with the inners on it.

Very smart indeed ^_^ Poor thing though.. if she was expecting a chibiusa's role XD hmm.. who was Mio's diguise character?
I think Sailor Luna is quite similiar to Chibiusa XD (Doesnt seem as annoying though...lol) Her hair is very much like Chibiusa's except its not Pink. Her attacks/transformation sequel is very umm... childish.. and she doesnt do much damage (like Pink Sugar Heart attack)

Just an update for those who want to know... The offical Live Action webpage hasn't been updated since the release of Act Zero. They promised a few special things like clips and more pictures behind the scenes and some sketches of the action scenes. We have yet to see those... The DVDs are rumored to stop printing later this summer, and only Act Zero and the Special Act will stay in minor production. Komatsu Ayaka (Venus) has a new offical site: www.ayaka502.com/ where she personally updates with webcam pictures and updated journal entries. (Japanese Only) Sawai Miyuu (Moon) has landed a voice role in the up coming 'Full Metal Alchemist' movie. Release date next month. Kikawada Masaya (Motoki) will be featured in a leading role in a upcoming 'Masked Rider 1st' movie. Coming later this year. Chisaki Hama (Mercury) has some sad news as the Melon magazine is no longer in print. Chisaki, for awhile now, has been one of their top modles. It is unknown what is next for her. Okay, now you are all updated!

I just finished watching the series.. I reckon the ending was very... crap. I don't like it a bit, it's too happy happy and perfect for my liking. Endymion/Mamoru looks fully conscious in what he is doing and does not seem brainwashed, but acts from his own will. What puzzles me, is that he wants to kill Usagi, yet, towards the end of the episode he just goes off when he could finish just killed off Sailormoon. Yeah that was very strange. I don't understand it either. It’s like he chucked a princess Sailormoon and got angry for a while then turned back to being nice in later episodes... oh yeah, that princess Sailormoon was by far the most one-dimensional character in the series. She is like a robot. Motoki: It’s pretty tasty Nephrite: Tastes bad. Terrible… (Takes more and eats) Nephrite: Awful Motoki: Hey you- Nephrite: What?! (Ami-chan laughs.) Such a sweet little scene. ^_^ I just love that scene! It's just so funny, that guy is very strange indeed. I use to dislike Sailor Luna, and now I think she's simply adorable! err... why do you dislike her before? She is cute from the start. I saw the first episode. I couldn't stop laughing, (and I didn't get the partial-parady subs either) it was hilarious - - I know very little about the series still (considering the last time I actually watched it was in year 5... lol) HAHA. It was the same for me, I laughed right through the series, amazing funniness this... especially that Usagi character, amazing stupidity. Yeah the acting at times is really B-grade, which made it seem like comedy. At '7:56' while Minako is dancing, watching the backup dancer in the short shorts. She makes such an odd error, as if she wanted to get some attention off Minako... Why can't I see it, what does she do wrong? That's what I find odd in Live Action... if they were all reborn.. shouldnt they be the same age then, as in Usagi/Mamoru/Beryl?? Why is their age differences the same apart? They could be reborn at different times. Just use your imaginations... I mean who knows how the reborn system works. There was also Dvorak's "Rusalka" - "Song to the Moon" at when the piano dude died… I reckon that was very fitting too. But he plays Chopin the most, which was really nice… I just love Chopin's "Fantaisie Impromptu".

hm..for a series like Sailormoon, I did hope the ending would be a happy one. Esp towards the end, everything became tense with the death of Minako and everything seemed hopeless when Princess Sailormoon was evil and filled with hatred towards the Earth. Princess Sailormoon disturbed me the most... what kind of character is that?? Nothing like Usagi.. Pretty much.. I think that's the dancer right behind Minako and she does something really quickly that wasn't the same as the other dancers..try watching it again carefully I don't really knowthe music pieces that was played, but I thought most of it music he played fitted very well

Chibi Queen!~ But I do agree, I did want to see more on Dark Mercury rather then some new random character, that was pretty much made so they could make more dolls and toys to sell.

Dark mercury's significance seemed to have died out towatds the end, when SailorLuna appears.
SailorLuna (like Chibimooon) seem to be only senshi in training since her attacks aren't very effective, but what's odd is that in some battle (can't remember which), the senshi were attacking with their star-shaped tamborine looking thing (does it have a name), but it didn't have any effect on the youma, but Sailorluna's one did..
