The official website for the Sailor Moon franchise announced on Friday that Prism on Ice, the franchise‘s ice show, has been canceled. Following discussions, the staff has decided that due to the situation around the world, it is not ready to prepare the show for the scheduled June 4-6 performance. The show had already been delayed thrice. Despite the cancellation, the website shared illustrations for the performance by Sailor Moon creator Naoko Takeuchi.

The ice show was originally slated to run in June 2020, but was delayed by a year to June 2021 due to COVID-19, and was then delayed again to June 2022 due to COVID-19 before its third delay to June 2023. The staff had not given a specific reason for the third delay except to say that while it had been preparing for the opening, it would be “difficult to hold the show under perfect circumstances.”

Professional figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva was slated to star in the ice show as Sailor Moon/Usagi Tsukino.

The anime will premiere in July on the TOKYO MX, BS Asahi, and Sun TV channels. Previously announced cast members include:

The “academy x mind game x romantic comedy” story is set on the “Academy” island where students battle to determine their rankings. Hiroto Shinohara earned the highest ever grade in this school’s entrance exam, the toughest in the entire country. On his first day at the school, he takes down the previous reigning queen, Sarasa Saionji, and becomes the fastest ever student to join the school’s elite “Seven Stars.”

Except, he didn’t really. It’s all a lie. Now to maintain his top ranking, he must fight these school mind games with lies and bluffs. He does whatever it takes with the help of the cute “cheat maid” Shirayuki Himeji (voiced by Miku Itō in a previous promotional video) and even Saionji (who is actually a phony herself).
