What Happened to the Sailor V Anime?
What Happened to the Sailor V Anime? #SailorMoon #SailorV #セーラームーン
We were so close to an animated Sailor V, and yet so far…
Rumors of the purported Codename: Sailor V anime have been with the fandom practically since the day Sailor Moon first hit the airwaves. And who could blame fans for the confusion? After all, even the Sailor Moon manga was confused about what its own title was in the lead up to the series debut.
Considering what a massive success…

[Image description: a screenshot from Codename: Sailor V, showing silhouettes of the ten protagonists of an in-universe manga called Aurora Wedding, who work at a bridal shop and become warriors for justice at night. The ten silhouettes are very similar to the sailor senshei from Sailor Moon. End ID.]
I love it when writers do stuff like this.

The last of the proto designs! Now there is a lot I want to say about this design especially because I had to compile it from a handful of partial designs.
I get into all of this and my process under the cut! Please read this one! I put a lot of work into coming up with this complete design!
Okay so this design is based off of these 3 images
And as you can see there are already a lot small differences between them all but they are all too similar so I didn't want to draw each of them as their own (especially since the bottom pic the only real thing it has going for it is colored for reference)
So I combined them all. Took the crown and the double pauldrons and the battle bra since those are the most unique elements and very different from the other designs. I decided not to add the bow from the one pic since that looked similar to another proto design, though i did use her school bow color for the bra. Also the second image makes it look like the skirt was longer and I also remembered there was an interview (might have been included in the back of a manga printing) where Naoko said she originally wanted the skirts of the senshi to be longer but her editor made her shorten them so I kept the long skirt.
Next was the hardest part because none of these images have full color or Usagi's full body. So this is when I reveal to you that I do actually believe all these designs where supposed to be Minako for Sailor V (since Naoko came up with that story first). I don't have any proof of that and none of these designs have notes, but with that as a possibility I decided to pull from a proto Sailor V design
I took the skirt design/coloring since the middle image is probably just a lighting effect on it, but does make it look like there could be a white stripe on the bottom. Also made the stripes on her shirt ruled to tie into that. Also just took Minako's shoes since I have no idea what the design of them would be.
Also directly pulled Minako's color palate (the blue, orange/gold and purple-ish color) and the green from her gloves for the design on the top pauldrons (which was a clip studio brush for a ribbion/fabric that I molded to fit)
Like I said... I did a lot of work to compile this design together. It's not an official one and could argue that this Minako, but considering Naoko abandoned a lot of these design elements and then came back to them for Usagi I still think it's fitting to say this is a proto Sailor Moon

Because Kodansha for some reason have not, and apparently do not plan to release the Codename: Sailor V Eternal Editions digitally, I have taken matters into my own hands and gave my own copies to a scanning company.
Use the link above to download both books and please enjoy Minako’s wacky adventures.
