Isn’t Usagi Tsukino too young to try race car driving on real life race car tracks? She was still a junior high school student in the Death Busters story arc. Perhaps Haruka Tenoh shouldn’t have suggested that Usagi visit the race car tracks.

I believe you are right, a lot of these actors have more range in other dubs. It seems to be a Viz thing as far as Sailor Moon goes at least, and with the other evidence you shared, makes me think it is recurring.

The Ocean Group out of Vancouver did a lot of dubbing back in the day. I remember that dub!

I recently saw a review on Youtube of the 1996 Viz dub of the Galaxy Express 999 movie that had some strangely familiar complaints about flat and emotionless voice acting.

Looking at the cast of that dub, it seems to have mostly been the same crew of actors that voiced ReBoot, Transformers: Beast Wars, and Shadow Raiders – none of which seemed to have suffered noticable from such things.

Is flat voice direction somehow part of Viz’s corpoarate DNA going back more than 20 years?

Let’s all say prayers and/or send good thoughts to Texas right now.

Mostly the tone. But maybe a little of both.
I think the Japanese and even some of the original English dub actors brought a lot of character to Sailor Moon while the Viz dub doesn’t do that for me. Often I cannot tell one girl’s voice from another (with the exception of Jupiter) and there is a lot of monotone, at least in my opinion.

In Crystal this seems to work.

I live in Florida but I feel extremely hurt and saddened by the hurricane and the people affected in Texas and nearby areas. I feel even more terrible about the abandoned dogs in the area. Some owners clearly should not own pets.

Can’t say I know who that posts here is from the affected areas. I’m quite far away from it myself.
