Evolution of Sailor Moon Costumes

The first Sailor Scout Naoko Takeuchi Created is Sailor Venus in manga Codename: Sailor V, which tells the story of a thirteen-year old middle school student, Minako Aino, who has the mission to protect Earth from Dark Agency, with the magical power of transforming into the sailor-suited beautiful Soldier of Justice, Sailor V. This is Sailor V in her Sailor Venus fuku look:

At the end of the manga, Sailor V has another mission to find the other four Sailor Soldiers and the moon princess, and then the Sailor Moon manga begins. This new pretty soldier has Usagi's hairstyle, but she is wearing the same goggles as Sailor V and a very slightly modified sailor scout costume.

This is the original five Sailor Scouts team in their sailor costumes:

In the early versions of Sailor Moon, she wears a red cape like superhero and a gun in her hand:

Sailor Moon’s hair is supposed to be yellow before transforming and silver after transforming:

In the original sketch Sailor Moon has the white boots, but she actually only wears white boots in the incarnation as Eternal Sailor Moon.

Now we have the final anime version of Sailor Moon, all Sailor Senshis wear the same pattern sailor suits:

At the July 6, 2012 event celebrating the 20th anniversary of Sailor Moon, Naoko Takeuchi announced that a new anime adaptation was in production and is scheduled to begin broadcasting in summer 2013 for a worldwide release. Do you think that the sailor scouts will have their new costumes again?

Sailor Moon Returns!!!

Sailor Moon returns in summer 2013 with a brand new anime series!
Sailor Moon returns in 2013

The first Sailor Moon manga was published by Kodansha on July 6, 1992 in Japan. July 6,2012, the popular manga series turned 20 years old, and for her 20th birthday, the creator of Sailor Moon - Naoko Takeuchi, and the manga publisher - Kodansha, announced a new anime for the Sailor Scouts for worldwide release.

It's a regret that there aren't many details on the new series or the eventual broadcast while I have so many questions,such as:
1. Animation production? Will Toei do the new version? Or will Studio Bones (who did said last time they were doing a 'familiar' series) take on the project? I know Momoiro Clover Z, the group that performed the theme song for the original Sailor Moon anime, will be performing the theme for the new series as well.

2. Voice actors? It's also unclear whether any of the original voice actors will reprise their roles, although Kotono Mitsuishi has said that she would like to return to the role of Usagi/Sailor Moon. I could make an entire list of possibilities for the Inner & Outer Seishi, Tuxedo Mask, Villians and so on.

3. Director? Hopefully they will have someone familiar to Magical Girl genre and will do a great job on the new adaption.

4. Length? Will they make this new series completely faithful to the manga and adapt all of the arcs of the series? Will it be condensed to 12-13 episode seasons or will it be one complete series with up to 50 episodes or so?

5. English Version?I wonder if the planned worldwide release will include an English-language voice performance, or if we should expect subtitles from the simultaneous release.

Howerver, I think this was going to be a thread about missing your childhood, so I can't wait to see it.

In the name of the moon, I'm TOTALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS!
