I also feel like Ami Koshimizu was perfect for this role; she pretty much voiced Makoto like Ryuko from Kill la Kill with a little more femininity and no rough accent.

That's a big difference, in practice, which is why I don't think her voice ended up being all that similar.

Not that I'm complaining though, since Koshimizu does good work and was indeed a great pick for this role.

Yea, I was expecting her to sound more like Ryuko but the voice she went with is a better fit.

"Melting Face Ami"

For a second I thought you were talking about that being-burned-alive face that Takeuchi loves drawing. Shame that whoever's directing the anime seems to be avoiding it. It's also a shame they didn't include Usagi crossdressing for like five seconds to deliver a one-liner for some reason.

Edit: I want them to animate Usagi having a nightmare about Mamoru's face melting off is what I am saying.

Okay, so I'm watching Crystal from the beginning, and I'm not sure which is worse: Mamoru in the original series having 90s as hell purple pleated pants, or him literally wearing a tuxedo everywhere.

I kinda love the idea of Mamoru being a creepy high school kid who wears a tuxedo everywhere.

I hadn't noticed the pants before the new dub pointed it out. How often does he wear the drat things?

Rewatched Act 5 so I could actually hear it.

Koshimizu is GREAT as Mako-chan, of course this stems from her being a really good Seiyuu but the casting continues to work.

Even in the new anime, Mako's senpai comes off as a dick. Well at least this time around there isn't a bunch of filler of her falling for guys who look like the dude.

As others said, the animation doesn't look nearly as bad this time around, I notice they went and redid part of Usagi's transformation to reflect on her Tiara upgrade, good on them.

I like how all the senshi so far have had their own unique catchphrase instead of a bunch of "Likewise" or just reusing "In the name of *planet*, I'll punish you!"

Next episode preview pulled the same crap as Act 4 did, only reusing old footage. I really hope that isn't a sign that the next episode is gonna look really bad or something.

Nephrite's still kicking about, but I figure we'll see Zoisite taking charge starting next episode if they plan on following the Manga save for melty faces.

I had completely forgotten that "He looks like my old boyfriend!" was basically Makoto's running gag in the original anime.

Speaking of which I'm really enjoying the new dub, and watching it continues to make it really difficult for me to decide which I enjoy more, it or Crystal (speaking purely from a storyline/character perspective).

Hulu has thrown up the dub of episodes 5-23 if anyone cares.

I'm actually enjoying this new dub, Stephanie Sheh has won me over completely.

edit: oh boy a 'the internet is a series of tubes' joke. I am, however, in love with Umino's lady voice being a impression of Naru's old school accent from the original dub.

There's also an over 9000 gag (in the context of Ami's IQ) from Umino too.

Honstly, I'm fine with some dumb dub hummor here and there if it makes sense.

Had to repost this one, it went from :downs: to something at least passable. It seems they're putting a lot of the emotions into the faces now - that and the style is really sticking to the manga, even to the point where it looks a bit awkward:
