  • Mary Elizabeth McGlynn
  • all of the villian but they dubbed voices are nice already i just want them to be in it with american voices
  • Mike McFarland
  • Kirsten Bishop for Emerald (she does the laugh better than the original actress!) and for Kaorinite, but NOT for Zoisite, Zoisite needs a high, cold, slightly effeminate MALE voice.
  • no cheesy names like "negaforce" or "ambassador of good". and zoisite and fish eye are NOT women. and uranus and neptune are NOT cousins, they are lovers. making them cousins just seemed incest, there actions didn't hide anything. (cont. on #22)
  • Beyonce Knowles
  • Catherine Disher (Mimete)
  • The actress who played Para Para (She was cute!)
  • Naz Edwards as Nehelenia; Kirsten Bishop as Galaxia

Write-in Suggestions

  • Andrea Romano (voice director)
  • Taliesen Jaffe
  • 1 track on DVD with the original music and S.E. and another with re-orchestrated versions of the DiC music (played with real instruments!) updated vocal songs, version broadcast on TV should carry the updated DiC cues, more palatable for general audiences
  • Leah Clark (script writer)
  • loved the music, hated the censorship and editing
  • the director of inuyasha's english version
  • WHATEVER YOU DO NO NICOLE THUALT! OR LUMB-NUTS (lumby-richards)
  • Junichi Sato
  • Mary Elizabeth McGlynn to direct!
  • Karl Willems as director
  • I felt that none of the above were able to do the show justice. A new team that would focus on a more accurate translation would be better.
  • Karl Willems, Eric Sherman, Crispin Freeman, Kari Wahlgren
  • Mary Elizabeth McGlynn
  • Kara Edwards
  • Karl Willems, Kevin Seymour, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn
  • Karl Willems (Director)
  • For the love of God please don't let Fred Ladd be involved. He does not understand anime.
  • to be honest, it's difficult to decide who had a positive impact on the series translation when the old dub is so flawed
  • Someone who will keep it as close to the Japanese version as possible.
  • Z-RO Limit Translations!
  • Jeff Lumby should direct
  • Maybe the guy who did the Jappanese endings?
  • Karl Willems and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn
  • No Sonski; at least no censoring if she is involved. ANd BOB SUMMERS AND BENGHIAT IS WIN.

Question 22

Are there any other stars not listed that you would like to see as part of the dub? Tell us who they are and who you'd like to see them play!

  • Find some American actors like John DiMaggio and I'll be interested!
  • Yuri Lowenthal. Brad Swaile. David Kaufman. Grey DeLisle. Tara Strong. Cree Summer. Mila Kunis.
  • Ashley Jhonson as sailor mars/Raye
  • Michelle Ruff - she'd be good as Rei
  • The Moonlight Knight, by whoever did his voice before.
  • Jason liebrecht - Mamoru Chiba
  • Eric Stuart - Jedite, Sonny Strait - Artemis, Laura Bailey - Sailor Uranus
  • I strongly insist Sarah Lafleur not be cast as Uranus (not suitable). No choice for Neptune was suitable (were too mature or too youthful, find a middle ground). Rino Romano is the best choice for Tuxedo Mask, voice has distinct character, less bland.
  • (cont.) just because we were kids at the time, it didn't make us oblivious of the world. i with friends would watch tenchi muyo right after sailor moon and there was less censored stuff in that. so i beg you, keep the original japanese story translations.
  • none
  • Scott Mc'Neil
  • Johnny Yong Bosch as Tuxedo Mask?
  • Jennifer Alyx as Galaxia (from the 5th season, Sailor Stars)
  • Scott McNeill
  • Orlando Bloom as Moonlight Knight
  • Mary Elizabeth McGlynn as Sailor Uranus
  • Stephanie Sheh- Maybe Diana (cute) and i'd love to see her play a villain!
  • Orlando Bloom as Moonlight Knight
  • Beyonce Knowles as Sailor Pluto
  • Kristen Stewart
  • Wendee Lee, please! Maybe as Molly (Serena's friend), or maybe even Usagi! I wouldn't really care, aslong as she's in it.
  • Catherine Luciani as Zirconia (She played Taitsukun in Fushigi Yuugi - the voice is perfect!)
  • I think Michelle Ruff would be good as Rei
  • Moneca Stori -- Usagi/Chibiusa/Pallas/ChibiChibi/Sailor Iron Mouse/Mimette/Fish Eye
  • Rika Takahashi and Dana Weaver for translation!
  • Please make Diana a child again!
  • Chris Patton for Tuxedo Mask
  • Ann Granger - Sabrina Grdevich & Alan Granger - Vince Corazza
  • Kelly Sheridan, Jocelyne Loewen, Venus Terzo, Janyse Jaud
  • All the Cloverway DUB actors were perfect!
  • Cynthia Cranz, Meredith McCoy
  • Cynthia Cranz as Usagi's mom Ms. Haruna, Meredith McCoy as Sailor Uranus,
  • Veronica Taylor, Rachel Lillis, Crispin Freeman, Yuri Lowenthal, Steven Jay Blum
  • SEIYA
  • Laura Bailey as Naru Osaka
  • Brian Drummond (Malachite)
  • Luci Christian-Sailor Venus
  • Sabrina Grdevich and Vince Corazza as Ann and Alan
  • Laura Bailey- Sailor Moon
  • Ashley Jonson as sailor mars or jupiter
  • Dave whittenburg-sounds cool
  • Crispin Freeman as Kunzite, Wendee Lee as Haruka
  • Meghan Fahlenbock as any dark character
  • I think Luna should should sound like a young woman, as she did in the Original Japanese
  • Please redub the last two episodes of the first season. I hated how they were meshed together!
  • no dubs , just the original japanese version
  • Megan Hollingshead as Sailor Mars
  • Voices sucked in S and SuperS seasons. Please re-dub those only, if anything!
  • Richard Cox, Moneca Stori
  • I am an English teacher and I would love one day to show my students in Japan an episode of Sailor Moon in both Japanese and English to help them learn the language easier! If there are minimal cuts this can be done!
  • Melissa Fahn as Mimete (or anyone), Lia Sargent as either Venus or Jupiter, Stephanie Sheh as anyone, Jennifer K Earhart (wherever she is now) and the entire dub cast of Azumanga.
  • Not any in particular. I think it would be wise to hold open audition to get the best talent because if any anime deserves open auditions it's Sailor Moon. But really I would love to basically see the DiC version only uncut with the same storyline.
  • No you got all the good ones, but for Serena/ Usagi I'm fine with Monica Rial, but I rather Terri Hawkes.
  • Brad Swaille, Brian Drummond, Samuel Vincent, Saffron Henderson as villains or monsters
