Anime Expo 2014: The ‘Sailor Moon’ Cast Is Reunited At The 90’s Dub Panel!

If you’re into anime and you’re as old as I am, you probably were introduced to it by one of three shows. For me, Sailor Moon was the first series that really engrossed me while showing me that the show was more than just an early morning cartoon that aired before school. It’s overarching story, developing characters, deeper themes that went beyond what I was used to from American shows at the time, and its use of a unique type of super hero made sure that I was glued to the screen whenever that iconic song came on.

Now, years later, I’m more familiar with the name Usagi than I am Serena. I know the Sailor Scouts, (Warriors, or Senshi if you want to weeb it up), were killed, and not captured by the Doom and Gloom Girls. And I know that Rini/Chibiusa pulled a gun on Sailor Moon when they first met. Yet, despite the differences between the original dub and the original source material, DiC’s Sailor Moon will always have a special place for me, which is why it was absolutely amazing to see members of the original English cast back together again.

Out of the many activities taking place during Sailor Moon Day at Anime Expo, few were as exciting as seeing the actors many of us grew up with reminiscing on their time as the voices of these iconic characters, including how the characters shaped them in their everyday lives, when they realized the impact this show had, and a story about how Sailor Jupiter saved a house from a threatening raccoon!

Hearing the actors call out lines from the old show took me back to 1995. Take this chance to feel like a kid again and check out the panel in the videos below, then take it to the comments and tell us what your favorite parts were!
