There isn't a lot that can be said with regard to this site, but the general fandom has been busier than ever with a cavalcade of activity.
First is the news that the new Sailor Moon anime, which was announced in 2012, is set to be released in July of 2014. Because there has been substantial information released in the latest release, it is believed that this project is still alive and progress is being made. While We Want Serena is officially neutral as to whether "Serena" should be used in the new anime, we are glad to see that new Sailor Moon material is being worked on officially.
Second is that the fan sequel to the Sailor Moon anime, Sailor Moon Solar SailorS, has also recently wrapped up production and released its sixth and final episode. This is the first multiple-episode fan series that remixed and added to pre-existing Sailor Moon footage to complete. Given that this series uses the names from the English dub while combining the story of the original version, we are excited to see a successful animated project completed using Serena while being faithful to the episodes that were not dubbed.
Third is a fan effort that is the inverse of series like Solar SailorS. Moon Animate, Make-Up! is a project in which animators recreate an existing Sailor Moon episode, shot by shot. This is a re-interpretation of the existing Sailor Moon episode "Fractious Friends." It literally deconstructs and reconstructs Serena and the countless animators who have signed on to this project shows not only an immense love for Sailor Moon, but an endorsement of both the English dub and Serena as Sailor Moon.
As mentioned in our mission statement, we do not represent a single view -- some fans who want Serena are fans of the existing English dub, and some fans of who want Serena prefer a redub that is closer the the original version in all aspects except for the names. Given that fan projects using Serena are either completed like Dead Moon Circus or nearing completion and other fan projects like Sailor Moon the Movie are running full steam ahead, the message is clear. Fans want Serena far beyond this small site, and as fans we are united in this belief!
