This coming November 1st to the 3rd in Canada’s capital city of Ottawa, Ontario the N2U anime and gaming convention will be host to the English cast of Sailor Moon! In attendance this year will be Linda Ballantyne, the voice of Sailor Moon, Katie Griffin, the voice of Sailor Mars, Susan Roman, the voice of Sailor Jupiter, Toby Proctor, the voice of Tuxedo Mask and John Stocker, voice director for the series.
This was announced on the N2U Facebook page and on the guest page of their web site. I will be in attendance at this convention which is taking place in my home town. I hope to see a lot of local Sailor Moon fans there! The convention will be held at the Travelodge on Carling near the Westgate shopping centre, easily accessible from the 417 for out of towners.

damn so many dub actors conventions and none of the original japanese seiyuu conventions… why is that
Uhh… most likely the price it would take to GET them there? Airfare from Japan is NOT cheap- I also don’t know how these things work with conventions, but they’d probably be asking for a pretty penny to be there, too, given that they’d be flying longer than they would actually be there. There’s also language barriers that get in the way of them speaking in panels and to fans, which might be solved with a translator (more money?) Even if a proficient translator were to volunteer, it would still be clumsy come panel time or trying to talk to a lot of people.
The dub actors should be just as highly regarded as the original ones. While I myself prefer to watch the show with the original voice actors these days, nothing changes the fact that I was introduced to and fell in love with the show with the help of these amazing people. The same goes for most of us in the western world that speak English.
Thanks SO much to sailormoonnews.com for all of the coverage and exclusive interviews. I’m glad these guys are meeting up at all of these conventions so frequently these days- they deserve the recognition!!!
