Just Crouton Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Well, that's what this thread was missing. Voice actor discussion in lieu of discussing...well, the show. There really isn't anything I could say about the first episode that I couldn't say about the 90's version. An origin story simple and straight to the point to get us into the first fight. A standard first episode not unlike Power Rangers/Sentai/Masked Rider/whatever. It would be nice if Sailor Moon actually does stuff during fights in this series instead waiting for her man to save her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Dude Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 You know who else Cristina Vee voiced? Homura.Amanda C. Miller voiced Cherche and Sully in Fire Emblem Awakening, and Sully is pretty "rowdy".Cindy Robinson voiced Aversa in Fire Emblem Awakening, and that character is perfect for getting an idea of how she'll voice Beryl.Weren't you advocating for Stephanie Sheh as Ami? I had to point out that everyone was expecting her to be Usagi, so you pretty expected the same thing as everyone else. You want to know who would guess you were right? Everyone. It was that obvious.There's really no reason to doubt that Stephanie Sheh is going to be voicing Usagi for all 200 episodes. This is one big project they're undertaking, after all.Seriously, go play Fire Emblem Awakening. If nothing else, it will help you expand your knowledge of ranges for certain voice actresses.Okay I get it. I never played Fire Emblem awakening, but I do know most of them even before Neptunia. I did see Bleach so I figure Sheh would be perfect for Usagi seeing as how she, Orihime and Yui. But if she would be the dub voice for Usagi in Crystal Guardians that'd be 226 episodes. I can definitly see Tara as Usagi's mom in both series. There are moments she's calm and moments where she becomes an unholy demon of punishment. Case in point, The Ben 10 Ultimate Alien episode where Jennifer Nocturne breaks Captain Nemesis out of prison. Granted Cindy had her moments specifically as Legretta and Kukaku. So yeah I can see her as Beryl. It's just Why did she hane to make Amy Rose sound like Minnie Mouse. And it seems once again Ruff is the no nonsense mentor. Think Rukia and Rita Mordio. JYB as Artemis, yeah he can be cool like Ichigo or Yu but he does have his freak out moments like when everyone thought Artemis had an affair with a nun and had a daughter. Considering Christina Vee is gonna be Shantae, I guess Rei is gonna be nice, though her old English VA was cool. But enough about the va's. Anyone wanna compare the first episodes? I know we already did that but... Original: http://www.hulu.com/watch/635231 Crystal Guardians: http://www.hulu.com/watch/657610 Let's see if there are any differences between the two. One scene I am not looking forward too, Serena's "Punishment". I'll have to do this comparison again only with the dub episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Well duh.... the old version has the kids putting on the band-aid... I feel bad now. Looking at both back to back, or at least the first 5 minutes of each video, I can say I actually sort of like the old version better, with the only down being in the digital high quality coloring and HD stuff the new one has. The never version's shoes are not school shoes. Why heels in middle school? When I was in Middle School outside of the US I had to even wear a tie everyday, and have heard Japan is also strict like that. The cat's movements after taking off the band-aid are more impressive and flashy in the old version. Will the new Usagi spend the series with her mouth slightly open at all times? It's one of the things I dislike whenever I see Megan Fox or the girl from Twilight on screen, and now it's in an anime character.... Did she just kiss a cat on the mouth? That's.... weird....... Did she just step with all her weight while running on the cat? That cat is made of steel, and I don't wanna imagine how much else she's stepped on during her lifetime.

Astro Dude Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Other than that, kinda the same? Well, okay. I kinda liked the CGI transformation. And if Serena's mom banishing her from her house is anything, I'd be wet my pants scared in the remake. Makes you wonder if the other scouts will have CGI transformation as well. And just the first five minutes. You could see a difference if you watch the whole episode. And hey if this is successful they should remake the Nemesis arc. So what'll be the next Crystal Guardians episode? A remake of the Fortune teller, remake of the radio, remake of weight loss, remake of chinchillas, remake of cupid remake of star search or remake of the first appearance of Sailor Mercury?

Rodrigo Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I didn't watch any Sailor Moon before, so I might not be the best to judge this Crystal Version... ...but Usagi's voice SUCKS! It's so obnoxious! Couldn't they find a better voice actress? Otherwise, the transformation scene was fine, and the show should be decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I feel better now knowing I'm not the only one who hasn't seen the original. That being said: Watching the original first episode, I found that one better, imo. Also, can someone tell me the point of that dream besides an average girl's fantasy?

Fusion X. Denver Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 The one thing that really bothered me was how derpy Usagi looked by always having her mouth open. Actually, I'm not a big fan of the mouths in this show in general, something about them seems off to me. But everything else seemed okay (never saw the original either). Quick origin was quick.

Shradow Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 So I said I'd wait like I do with all new anime, but that quickly changed. I didn't have a problem with her voice, I thought it was fine. It threw me off at first since I wasn't sure what to expect and she was screaming in distress, but when she started talking normally I got used to it right away. You could tell that Linked Horizon (Attack on Titan openings) worked on this opening, it had that sort of style and even had similar guitar riffs.

Astro Dude Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFCcE5fUVu4 A newbie voicing Darien, plus the newbie is the guy who voices Swaysway in Breadwinners. It's cool. And this vid only showcases half the new dub cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Roxas Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 That's pretty good. We should probably help contribute to Sailor Moon Crystal getting a high view count on other sites, like Hulu, or Crunchyroll.By the way, episode titles leaked.Next episode is Sailor Mercury's debut, and the one after that is Sailor Mars'.

Alastar Rainford Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Makes sense because that is how the acts in the manga are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Dude Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Yup, they're gonna skip over the filler episodes. Ami is suspected of being an enemy spy from the Dark Kingdom. Can't wait to see the monsters transformation. Speaking of monster transformations, how about the Seven great Youma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 This is supposed to hold more closely to the manga. What could have possibly made you think that they'd keep the filler? I doubt we'll see the Seven Great Youma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 DBZ Kai had a short glimpse of the driving episode when they were doing one of the time lapse recaps to skip over filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Dude Posted July 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 This is supposed to hold more closely to the manga. What could have possibly made you think that they'd keep the filler? I doubt we'll see the Seven Great Youma. But weren't the seven rainbow crystals a plot device for the Imperium Silver crystal? What I mean is this: Each of the holders of the seven rainbow crystals become a silhouette of their human form in the color of the crystal they were holding: Joe: Red Priest: Orange Greg: Yellow etc. Then they would, in a way, evolve into their monster selves. It worked for pokemon. And if they followed the Manga the last episode would be Eternal Sailor Moon vs. Chaos possessed Sailor Galaxia. This is a retelling of the first season. Some filler will be out yes but I doubt the Rainbow Crystals would be left out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastar Rainford Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 That was in STARS 1-4 Which had their own volumes. Crystal will probably only be the byrel/met. Arc S,Super,and STARS, probably wont be in the 26 episodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Dude Posted July 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Exactly. Some episodes will be remade and some won't. In fact Sailor Jupiter's first episode coincides with the first of the seven Rainbow Crystals. So if one is brought in, they all are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastar Rainford Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Rereading the manga,there is no rainbow crystal mini-arc. Introduction Beryl Metallia Chibi-usa Just got to the chapter that she first pops in. So glad they didn't lose their memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 They changed the story of the Silver Crystal for the original anime, so it wasn't like that in the manga, meaning that Sailor Moon Crystal isn't going to have the Rainbow Crystals.Perhaps it would be easier if you just accepted that this is to the original Sailor Moon anime what Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood was to the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime?
