So here at 3am the word has already spread. I thought it would be harder to find but nope. Word spreads pretty fast.
And so it was the voice cast was revealed as follows.
- Kotono Mitsuishi as Sailor Moon/Usagi Tsukino
- Hisako Kanemoto as Sailor Mercury/Ami Mizuno
- Rina Satou as Sailor Mars/Rei Hino
- Ami Koshimizu as Sailor Jupiter/Makoto Kino
- Shizuka Itou as Sailor Venus/Minako Aino
As someone who never really watched the Sailor Moon anime, much less the Japanese version, I can't really object to the voice cast changes. I am however baffled that they traded Cure Moonlight for Cure Peace as Mercury. I figured she'd still be around. I don't know any of the others.
Hibiki from Suite Precure is going to voice Jupiter? That's all I need to hear to be okay with that.
And now onto the character designs.
I am actually okay with this. It's a nice, new style that isn't reeking of moe moe kyun. All in all I'm optimistic. I just wanna know what the series is going to actually be.
Also, it seems the anime won't air once a week, but instead on the first and third Saturdays of every month, starting in July.
