Posted on September 7, 2013 by Adam

A couple of weeks ago at Fan Expo 2013 I caught up with Linda Ballantyne, the voice of Sailor Moon from the Sailor Moon S and SuperS seasons, for the following interview.

The radio show that’s mentioned is “I’m Just Sayin'” which is part of Canada Talks, Channel 167, on SiriusXM Canada. You can also check out the show’s Facebook page.

Thanks a lot to Linda Ballantyne for joining us for this interview. Already posted to the site are the panel from this year’s Fan Expo as well as an interview with Susan Roman, the voice of Sailor Jupiter.

Last weekend at Fan Expo 2013 in Toronto I caught up with Susan Roman for the following interview. She supplied the voice for Sailor Jupiter for the English dub of Sailor Moon.

A big thanks to Susan Roman for joining us. We also got interviews with Linda Ballantyne, who voiced Sailor Moon for the Sailor Moon S and SuperS seasons, as well as Toby Proctor, the voice of Tuxedo Mask for most of the first two seasons. These interviews will be posted to the site in the coming days. We also recorded the Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary Cast Reunion panel which has already been posted to the site.

Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary Cast Reunion Panel at Fan Expo 2013

Posted on August 27, 2013 by Adam

This past weekend at Fan Expo 2013 in Toronto there was a Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary Cast Reunion! This included Susan Roman, the voice of Sailor Jupiter, Katie Griffin, the voice of Sailor Mars, Linda Ballantyne, the voice of Sailor Moon, Toby Proctor, the voice of Tuxedo Mask and John Stocker, voice director for Sailor Moon S and SuperS. Here’s a video of the complete panel that they held on Friday. The Fan Expo staff seriously underestimated fan interest in Sailor Moon so many people were unable to make it into the room which was at maximum capacity.

While at Fan Expo 2013 I also managed to record interviews with Susan Roman, Linda Ballantyne and John Stocker. I will be posting them to the site as time permits. I did not neglect Katie Griffin and John Stocker! I interviewed both of them at last year’s convention.

Naoko Takeuchi, creator of Sailor Moon, interviewed in ROLa Magazine

Posted on August 20, 2013 by Adam

The latest issue of ROLa Magazine in Japan includes an interview with Naoko Takeuchi, the creator of Sailor Moon. This interview is a rare treat as Naoko Takeuchi very rarely makes public appearances having done next to no publicity since Sailor Moon went off the air over 15 years ago. Her editor Fumio Osano also participates in this interview. The magazine interview is in Japanese but luckily the hard working people at Miss Dream have translated the interview for English fans to enjoy. So go ahead and check it out for some great insight into the early concept of Sailor Moon. This is only the first part of the interview. The second half will appear in the next issues of ROLa. I’m sure the staff at Miss Dream will be bringing us a translation of that as well.

Some interesting things are learned from this interview. I never thought of Tuxedo Mask as a parody of a character and who knew old men would lobby for less attractive female characters?

Fan Expo’s Sailor Moon panel will be at 2:30pm on Friday August 23rd

Posted on August 14, 2013 by Adam

The schedule for Fan Expo 2013, the convention taking place August 22nd to the 25th, has been released online. In it we see that the “Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary Cast Reunion” panel will be taking place on Friday afternoon at 2:30pm so if you’re not a big fan of Richard Dean Anderson I suggest you cancel all other plans and make it to that panel! As we mentioned previously there will be many guests from the Sailor Moon dub in attendance at the convention. The panel will include Toby Proctor, the voice of Tuxedo Mask, Linda Ballantyne, the voice of Sailor Moon, Susan Roman, the voice of Sailor Jupiter, Katie Griffin, the voice of Sailor Mars and John Stocker, voice director for the series.

There are no autograph sessions listed for any of these actors. The Sailor Moon guests have spots at a table in a hall on the same floor at the Expo Hall. If it’s anything like last year attendees will be free to approach them for autographs throughout the weekend while they’re at their tables. Check out the area that says “Cartoon Voice Actors” on the floor plan to find your favourite Sailor Moon star.

The panel will be taking place in 701B which you can see from the floor plan is located one floor up from the main expo hall at the far end of the hall with the main elevators.

I hope to see you at the convention.

Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter Legend Studio figure prototypes

Posted on August 13, 2013 by Adam

A few weeks ago we had our first look at the Sailor Moon prototype for Legend Studio’s line of figures at the ACG HK 2013 convention. Sailor Mars and Jupiter’s prototype figures, seen in this picutre, were unveiled the next day. I had no idea this had occurred until I read about it on Sailor Moon Collectibles yesterday. This image comes from this Chinese page on the Japanese Geocities. That’s right, in Japan Geocities is still a thing.

We also now have a better look at the Sailor Moon figure in colour courtesy of NextMedia. We previously saw what this figure looked like from a photo of a standee but now we have a photo of the actual figure.
