I feel.like I may have posted this before, I can't remember if I have done a similar topic please forgive me. These videos just came across my feed and I wanted to expound on the subject since at the time Funimation was really gunning for the licenses the time. These are old videos I made how ironic Sheh was my Initial choice for Mars? How do you think she would've done

And my initial choice for Usagi was Laura Bailey

Who would you guys have picked and how do you think it would've turned out?

I think Laura Baeily doesn't fit. I know many people love her, but she was never my coup of tea. She was ok woth Touru in Furuba though. She is too busy and she doesn't do much anime voice work anymore. Overall Funi are hit and miss for me. Sometimes everything is great with their dubs, in other cases both scripts and voices are not that great. I think Sheh really grewin the role and she sounds better and better. She sounds great in Crystal though. They all do.

If Funimation had the license and If it was up to me I would have to say I would definitely want Brittney Karbowski and Clifford Chapin as Usagi and Mamoru. Brittney Karbowki's Yamada from B gata H Kei comes off as a pervy Usagi to me and Clifford Chapin's Touya from CCS Clear Card was very Mamoru like.

Yeah, Laura Bailey would not have been a good fit for Usagi, but I think she could've worked as Rei or Minako. Stephanie is terrific as Usagi, but she could've also been a good Rei. Cristina Vee could've been a good Usagi too, and she was good casting as Rei. I just don't like that deep voice they're making her use. Colleen Clinkenbeard could've been a good Makoto, and I could also see Caitlin Glass as Minako. Cherami Leigh is a bit of a miscast as Minako, and I think FUNi would've more likely cast her as Chibiusa (or perhaps Monica Rial). Alexis Tipton could've also worked as Rei or Minako, and Brittany Karbowski and Tia Ballard both could've worked as Usagi or Minako. Ami's the most difficult character to cast, and I'm not sure who FUNi would've picked. Maybe Alison Viktorin or Lara Woodhull?

I'm interested in reading about Clifford Chapin.


Who is Tia Ballard?
Hmm I don’t know how popular she is but she was great in Kamisama Hajimemashita as Nanami she would have been great with some sort of part in SM. For me it’s so hard to judge if someone would be good for this or that part because you would be surprised at the range some of these actors have.
