Anime Revolution has got yet another interview posted as part of their 20th anniversary celebration from their convention in Vancouver earlier this year. This interview is with Terri Hawkes, the voice of Sailor Moon.
Terri Hawkes discusses her role with the show, what it meant to her and what she thinks it means to other and the industry as a whole.
You can catch Terri Hawkes in person at G-Anime in Gatineau, Quebec, this coming January.
A Sailor Moon fan has recorded a part of the Kodansha Comics USA panel from last weekend’s New York Comic Con which includes the portions relevant to Sailor Moon. The video embedded below has been cued up to when the Sailor Moon discussion begins.
This panel began with the announcmeent of a new Sailor Moon art book for 2013 that we previously discussed on the site. This art book is being put together in Japan and the details are sparse. The Sailor Moon manga box set was then mentioned. These are not new versions of the books, though typos and errors are corrected with reprints so some minor issues may be corrected in these. This followed with a reading of a letter from Naoko Takeuchi to American fans.
Thanks to Senshi_chan for recording the video.
Today was the Kodansha Comics USA panel at New York Comic Con. The big announcement they had was that there would be a new Sailor Moon art book released in the US as well as in six other countries in 2013. This will not be a translation of any of the existing art books but rather a compilation taking art from all of the existing books that will also include some previously unpublished material. There were originally seven Sailor Moon art books in Japan which collected art from the manga. This includes volumes I through V, the materials collection and the Infinity art book. None of the existing art books have ever been published in North America.
The panel also included a message from Naoko Takeuchi herself. She confirmed that the box set of the new versions of the Sailor Moon manga will be released for Thanksgiving, November 20th. This message as well as the art book press release can be found below along with pictures of some of the Kodansha booth swag.
Here’s an interview with Stephanie “Sugar” Lyn Beard, the voice of Rini aka Sailor Mini Moon from Anime Revolution 2012 in Vancouver. Sugar talks about her early days on the radio, working on the zone and her work on Sailor Moon. She also plugs her new movie “For a Good Time, Call…” which is now playing in select theatres. You can watch the interview at the Anime Revolution site. It’s also embedded below for your convenience.
The Anime Revolution web site has posted a couple more great interviews from their convention where they had six Sailor Moon voice actors present to celebrate the show’s 20th anniversary. First is an interview with Susan Roman, the voice of Sailor Jupiter and the second is an interview with Vince Corazza who played Alan Granger and eventually Tuxedo Mask in the later two season. Vince gives a nice explanation of the rythmo-band technique which was used to dub Sailor Moon which made the lip synching match up perfectly to the video.
You can watch the interviews on the Anime Revolution web site. We’ve also embedded them below for your convenience.
Last month at Anime Revolution in Vancouver there were a number of Sailor Moon voice actors in appearance. The Anime Revolution web site has posted a couple of interviews with some cast members. Last week they shared an interview with Katie Griffin, the voice of Sailor Mars, and this week they’ve posted an interview with Ron Rubin, the voice of Artemis.
In both interviews the voice actors talk about their work on Sailor Moon. The videos of the interviews are included below.
Last month at Anime Revolution in Vancouver there was a 20th Anniversary celebration including a panel featuring six of the cast members from the English dub. From left to right this panel includes Vince Corazza, voice of Tuxedo Mask, Stephanie “Sugar” Beard, voice of Rini, Ron Rubin, voice of Artemis, Terri Hawkes, voice of Sailor Moon, Susan Roman, voice of Sailor Jupiter and Katie Griffin, voice of Sailor Mars. The video is split into two parts. The quality isn’t perfect but the sound does come through pretty well so it’s well worth a listen.
Part 1 and Part 2 cover the entire panel. The third clip included below covered a half hour in the middle and is of higher quality. The voice actor portion begins 37 minutes into the first clip as it’s preceeded by some Karaoke and clips of many incarnations of Sailor Moon.
Here’s our interview with the very talented Katie Griffin, best known to Sailor Moon fans as the voice of Sailor Mars for almost all of the English dubbed episodes of Sailor Moon.
In this interview Katie talks about her time on Sailor Moon, the casts’s willingness to come back for the 2013 anime if asked and other works she’s done.
Fans of voice actor Cory Doran will spot a cameo by him lurking around the background of this video.
Terri Hawkes, the voice actress most famous around these parts for voicing Sailor Moon in the majority of the first two seasons of the English dub, will appear as the English guest of honour at G-Anime 2013 this coming January. Check out their guest announcement in English or French for more details.
G-Anime is a yearly convention held in Gatineau, Quebec at the Palais des Congrès de Gatineau just minutes from downtown Ottawa. The convention will take place from Friday January 25th until Sunday January 27th. Registration is already open.
As an Ottawa native and frequent visitor of fine establishments in Gat City I will certainly be in attendance and hope to see some of you there.
Here’s an interview with legendary voice actor and voice director John Stocker from Fan Expo in Toronto this past weekend.
John is known for many roles, perhaps most famously as Beastly from Care Bears. This interview focuses on his involvement in Sailor Moon, for which he provided many voices as well as voice directing for two seasons and three movies. John also talks about some of his more iconic roles, working in the industry throughout the years and gives some insight into being on either side of the microphone.
