The News Thread (for news that does not need a thread)

Manga Entertainment's latest newsletter has announced that Mob Psycho 100 Season 2 will be out on 15th June, and Demon Lord, Retry! will be out on 8th June.
 
I found out through @Scavenger on the Blu-ray forum. This is regarding the rights to the Sailor Moon anime series.

Scavenger's post (from the Blu-ray forum):
According to a trustworthy French source, all branches of Viz Media (USA/EU) are going to lose the rights to Sailor Moon because of the translation scandal.

A relationship chart found in the booklet which is included in the Limited Edition Blu-Ray set refers to Sailor Uranus and Neptune as having a “Friendship”. This was noted by some fans including Erica Friedman of Okazu who wrote an article about it and brought the issue up with Viz directly.

I still have issues with the “partners” translation why can Usagi and Mamoru be lovers but Uranus and Neptune not. But the reprint was/is better than the original
 
Even I’ve heard of the Uranus and Neptune thing and I’m not really into sailor moon. First they were cousins in the original run, now they’re friends, will they be colleagues next?

dude they’re meant to be girlfriends. Prayer beads down. It’s allowed in a magigirl show (or any show some would argue, except for romance shows that heavily focus on a hetero relationship, gays kind of disappear in those)
