Doctor Xadium here with some frightening / appealing news depending upon your age, gender and attitude towards scantily clad Japanese idols. After over a year, I have finally managed to complete Suburban Senshi's review of Komatsu Ayaka's Idol video, "Figure A", as done from the perspective of Suburban Senshi's Hino Rei.

To give you an idea of just how ludicrous this video is,  I give you this sample image: 

The entire review is posted on Rei's homepage at Suburban Senshi here , and for those of who who have been following the weekly comics, they have continued despite the lack of cross-posting here and can be found on the left hand column of the same page. I will resume the cross-posting to Genvid as of comic 13.

Fresh from Otakon 2007, the PGSM panel hosted by Lilly-chan. Video was taken for Genvid by members Moon Jump and Yoshimoon. Thanks guys!

Part 1

We’re trying out a new editorial column. It’s called “Ask the Editors.” We’ve always meant for the Soapbox to have regular editorial features, and this is a good way to get us to do just that. So send us your questions!

The first comes from reader Olajuwan Cobb who asks, “Do you think that there would be an American version of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (PGSM) or would it be too risky for any producer?”

This is a perfect question to kick things off because I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. Anyone who’s seen the recent “Transformers” movie might be doing the same. It was a real surprise- Hollywood did an amazing job of turning an 80’s cartoon into fun, engaging blockbuster. Its success bodes well for other cartoons to be revived.

The question, however, asks about a PGSM series, and a television show is in a different realm from a theatrical release. They have to think about ongoing production, advertisers, and dealing with networks that are tight on purse strings when it comes to children’s programming.

When Power Rangers was brought here many years ago Saban saved money by using Japanese footage for the action sequences; apart from the strange mix of film reel and videotape, it worked fine since the Japanese actors were costumed. They can’t do that with PGSM; every scene will have to be filmed from scratch.

The Otakon convention in Baltimore later this month will be holding a Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon panel! The panel information is as follows:

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Fan Panel
Date- Sunday July 22, 2007
Time- 9:00am - 10:00am
Location- Panel 4 (Ballroom 2)

For more, see this forums thread or the panel's homepage. The panel will be run by Lilly-chan of BSSMLA. Please attend and support the series!

WoL photographer Yosenex will also be there to discuss aspects of Japan in the series. It should be very interesting and fun.

The archives of this site are a hassle, scattered about due to the way the site's been built up over the years. Although I've long wanted to see things organized, it remains low on the list of things I need to get done. (Among other things that need to be taken care of, the long-promised change to a blog content management system, which will make organization much easier.)
