Yui voicing Chibiusa would make an originally love-hate character (mostly hate in the West) completely lovable for everyone. I hope some of the old cast returns though.

Wow, for a moment there, I read that the anime series would be getting all new cast members.

Fingers crossed we get as much of the original cast as possible since some are already retired or passed on.

At the very least I hope Kotono and Toru don't fail us! Wink

Well, at this point, they might as well go all new, but part of me still hopes Mitsuishi and Furuya return.

I'm also hoping for them to return also. But even if they can't get their old roles, it will be nice to hear there voices in the new show as a little call back.

Mars: Miyuki Sawashiro


Oh gosh, Pleeeeaaaassseee DO NOT let this happen! I absolutely loved Sawashiro when she first came onto the scene, but since then there have been seasons where she was literally in every single show airing and it was horrible. I am so tired of her voice, she does nothing whatsoever to change it or make it different or unique for different characters except maybe once or twice, just to be lenient since I can't recall a time where she ever did.
Thankfully I can't recall her in anything off the top of my head for this season, so maybe she's taking a break.
But your post just made me realize that this casting announcement is actually important to me; I was sailing oblivious about it before.

Cast Aya Hirano as Sailor Moon and watch the fandom explode.

That'd be annoying, ageism is gross.

(It wouldn't be appropriate-age casting, they're significantly older than their characters.)

She's been in less stuff recently, although I get where you're coming from. Her biggest problem is that she's extremely typecast, despite all the range she has. Lately she seems to be repeatedly cast as "sexy older lady" but I completely disagree with your claim that she does nothing whatsoever to change her voice. Examples include Carl Clover in Blazblue, Touko in Danganronpa, Shinku in Rozen Maiden, Suruga in Bakemonogatari, Lymle in Star Ocean: The Last Hope, Kosuke in Btooom!, Hakaze in Blast of Tempest, Dalian in Dantalian no Shoka, Puchiko in Di Gi Charat, Maria in Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei and I could go on and on and on. She's got a very wide range, but she just happens to get cast as similar characters a lot.

Ageism is discrimination against people based on their age, so saying it'd be gross for older actresses to portray teenagers would be an example of ageism, not the opposite. Also, teenage girls are very frequently voiced by women in their early-to-mid twenties, which most of the people I listed are. So, if you have a problem with voice actors being older than the characters they portray then you'd have to have a problem with a huge amount of anime voice casts as it's a near constant.
