If you’re looking for a unique way to celebrate the premiere of the first newly-dubbed episodes of the classic Sailor Moon anime, Viz has you covered with a special event. Fans are invited to join a live stream slumber party on Friday, September 5, where they’ll be able to dig into the first four episodes of the new dub.
Moonlight Party: A Celebration of SAILOR MOON Reborn! will take place on Viz Media’s YouTube channel, with the festivities set to kick off at 8:00pm Pacific Time (11:00pm Eastern). Viewers will be able to simultaneously watch the episodes on Hulu while the Viz staff provides a lively evening of commentary, inside facts, and more from the company’s San Francisco headquarters.
More details from the press release:
Throughout the Moonlight Party fans may submit their SAILOR MOON questions via YouTube in the comments sections of the livestream, on the official VIZ Media Facebook page, and Twitter by using the special hashtag, #MoonlightParty for a real-time Q&A with VIZ Media staff that will run throughout the event. Fans can interact with members of the VIZ Media SAILOR MOON team, which will be participating in the live stream to answer questions and offer lively commentary and little known information about the series and the premiere episodes. A SAILOR MOON trivia contest also will take place and fans are invited to participate and submit answers via Facebook and Twitter to win special prizes. Sailor Moon fans nationwide are also encouraged to share pictures from their own Moonlight Parties by using the hashtag #MoonlightParty on their favorite social media platforms.
