Toei Animation announced this week that Sailor Moon Crystal is still in fact airing and encouraged fans to watch the show. The studio encouraged fans to “not forget about us” and “remember when everyone was excited for more Sailor Moon“. Director Sakai Munehisa met with reporters earlier this week and reminded viewers that there are 26 episodes planned in the series.

“Please, please watch. We don’t even mind if you complain or make fun of the show, just please don’t forget about us… please,” Sakai told reporters.

“Wait, where are you going? Come back!” Sakai pleaded as reporters left the room shortly thereafter.
