'Sailor Moon Crystal' season 3 update: April 4 premiere and trailer revealed

Sailor Moon fans rejoiced upon hearing the news of "Sailor Moon Crystal" having a third season. The anime series produced by Toei Animation is confirmed to premiere this Monday, April 4 at 10:00 a.m. on Hulu, Neon Alley and CrunchyRoll. The show will have 13 episodes spanning 23 minutes each, with one episode released every week.

Created as a celebration series for the Sailor Moon franchise's 21st year, "Sailor Moon Crystal" is one of the few anime series to break out of Japan and be accepted by fans all around the globe. As noted by Den of Geek, the third season keeps true to the manga's Infinity arc from the fifth and sixth volume of Naoko Takeuchi's original source material. In this chapter, a nefarious cult for the intergalactic Pharaoh 90 called the Death Busters will be introduced, along with Pharaoh 90's herald named the Messiah of Silence. As the group fights the enemies, a new Sailor Senshi will enter the picture. However, their goals will not coincide with Sailor Moon's, causing a conflict within the group. To boot, the Outer Senshi will also be introduced, which consists of Sailors Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Saturn.

The ending theme for the show is a duet between  Michiru (Sailor Neptune).and Haruka (Sailor Uranus) entitled "Eternal Eternity." Two ending themes will be added including Chibi-Usa's "Otome no Susume" (The Maiden's Advice) and "Eien Dake ga Futari o Kakeru" (Only Eternity Brings the Two Together) to be sung by Tuxedo Mask.

In a report by Moviepilot, the third season from the well-loved anime series is entitled "Sailor Moon Crystal: Death Busters." The April 4 premiere on participating online streaming sites will be simultaneous with Japanese networks such as Tokyo MX, Sun TV, TVQ Kyushu Broadcasting, TV Hokkaido, TV Aichi and BS11.
