to be fair, they probably wouldn't have bought it anyway |

Now, if only they could match this with an actual HD transfer and not a blurry upscale.
That is, unless Viz can get Toei to do that. And seeing aw how Toei treats blurays of stuff like Galaxy Express, this upscale is about all we can hope for, sadly. |

Yup, their releases of Saint Seiya & Slam Dunk don't look any better and as mentioned before, the latter was from the same time period as Sailor Moon so if even Toei's 90s stuff are getting Q-Tec upscales then their eventual BD boxes of Sailor Moon would really not look any different than what Viz is putting out now. |

I'd say the jury is very bad from that clip. sure its not enough to convinced its a miscast, but its definitely not good. Also i admit that usagi's VA fits well enough into the role and sound convincing that usagi is 14. Unfortunately it definitely sound strained and might be too much for her vocal chords to do this for 200 eps plus the Crystal series. personally i think miss seph would have been better as either hotaru for the S series or as Naru. Unfortunately I am too afraid that we might have another Excel Saga happening again if this is how the voicing director will have her voice usagi.
i wouldnt necessary that that. remember the dubbing was not as good back when DIC was around. also anime in the US was still an experiment. so yea, it is superior from the dic version , but i wouldnt go judge , jury and executioner as yet. besides the animes that dic did are a hell of a lot better than the crappy ass versions that 4kids and nelvana did.

I have no real nostalgia for the older dub, so I think this sounded fine. I've only heard random bits of the older dub and I thought Usagi's old voice was annoying as all hell, so I thought this was good.
But I do understand nostalgia for the old dub all the same, this doesn't sound like the old dub for sure. I probably wouldn't easily latch on to a new dub when I was used to an old one either. Actually, I remember hearing a bit of ADV's Macross dub and going "wow, I hate it" because I was so used to the Robotech voices (I did enjoy the show subbed though) |

You do know Sheh's not straining there right? It's not all that off from her usually stuff like Orihime from Bleach. And that's like 300 episodes. |

and its as i said. it might be from what i heard.
its not the only series she is committed too. there are other series as well and when it was announced, there are those in the forums here that are worried that all of these commitments for all of these series are way too much,even for a veteran like her. we dont know how many commitments a VA does in a year let alone in a day, but there are times it might be too much. and from this clip alone, i'd say some of those users in the forums which i have a feeling their die hard fans of miss seph definitely have a reason to be concerned of the vocal chord might get strained. sure i hope it dont happen, but fate can be a real bitch at times.hopefully it wont bite this VA where it hurts. |

You really have no idea what you're talking about. Sheh isn't straining her voice with this role. She's not pitching it up at all. It's basically her speaking voice with a younger intonation. She isn't screaming or screeching, either. This is nothing like Excel Saga, which was only a problem because ADV insisted on too tight a schedule for a role that consisted of nothing but screaming. And, really, you think she's over booked? Based on what? She's an actress. This is her job. |

It sounds more insulting.
They're limited by Hulu's capability. If ya can exactly define "soon," ya go ahead and take them to court. |

Newcomer? These 24 acting credits say differently. |

From that less than one minute clip, I'm ok with Sheh going quiet and low but I hate it when she goes loud and screeching.
"Wa-aa-aa-ah-Ah"... no. "Stupid jerk and his purple, pleated pants" Good and nice alliteration. Still, I'm expecting more scenes of Usagi whining and screaming than waxing poetic. |

And I want something done about this! I want Viz held accountable for treating us Canadians like worthless bags of shit! I'm not going to take this bullshit from them anymore. I want solidarity. Boycott Hulu, boycott Viz! |

Seemed adequate, but honestly I was going to buy the blu-rays regardless of the dub quality. We are finally getting a good quality video release including the previously unreleased Stars. What else matters?
