Diana English & Japanese Voice Comparison

Voices:
Japanese:
Kumiko Nishihara (first anime)
Shoko Nakagawa (second anime)
English:
Naomi Emmerson (Pioneer)
Loretta Jafelice (Cloverway/CWi)
Debi Derryberry (Viz)

[@MatthewDaSmitdog]

Debi shows what great vocal range she has, her tone for Diana sounds so natural and smooth you could easily forget her most famous role of Jimmy Neutron.

[@Nocturne22]

Loretta fits the 90's version very well - a kitten who is very naive. Debi plays Crystal Diana as more mature, which is appropriate for that version.

[@aliciahigginbotham5811]

Loretta Was Also The Voice Of Eudigel Too On Sailor Moon.

[@aliciahigginbotham5811]

Yes She Does Sound More Mature.

[@Thelordofcrabs86]

Is that jimmy neutron voicing a cat?

[@damonika09]

Yep! XD

[@RainbowMilk1996]

Yeah

[@anthonysnyder6456]

Oh yeah definitely!

[@TheSapphireLeo]

OMFG!!! All these effing years, I only ever knew her as "Haruna", from the 3rd Tenchi movie and RYO-OHKI!!! 0 0, X,D8

[@Kunimitsu877]

Debi actually improved usually she just uses her Jimmy neutron voice in more than half her roles but here she sounds adorable and very different from Jimmy her Jimmy voice comes through when shes sad on occasion but overall it sounds different for her good to see Debi still doing great

[@Sapphire-qp2hn]

Sorry, but she is Maya from Glitter force Doki Doki.

[@damonika09]

Love Link Time! She was also Jimmy Neutron.

[@RecoveringChristian]

She sounds older than usagi, who already borders on being 7.

[@hamursh]

It's kind of sad that Debi Derryberry is one of the only voices in that dub who also works in American cartoons. Maybe it should have included EG Daily, Tara Strong, Lara Jill Miller, Nika Futterman, Francesca Smith, Grey Griffin, Cree Summer, Colleen Villard, Melissa Fahn and others.

[@CrossCuntryFranco]

@@hamursh Melissa was in the Viz dub, as was Colleen Villard (They voiced Daimons in _Super_ if I remember correctly).

[@nutellacastle]

7:30 Jimmy Neutron and Ash Ketchum just had a conversation.

[@vampireunicorn2271]

LOL

[@xgray2012]

Rainbowanimal2005 AJ *WHAAAAAT?!* Debi Derryberry was the voice of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius?! Holy shit!!!

[@nutellacastle]

Neo-Xgray87 yep

[@TMX1138]

Debi Derryberry, who plays Diana in Crystal, as well as the upcoming redub of SuperS, was also Candy from Smile Pretty Cure/Glitter Force, which was also recorded by Studiopolis, the recording studio of the new dub of Sailor Moon. I hope they manage to bring Laura Bailey (Tohru Honda, Lust, Lucina, Emily/Glitter Lucky) into the new dub, since she does typically work for Studiopolis. I could picture her as either Nehelina, Galaxia, or one of the Starlights.

[@TMX1138]

Sorry, I meant "Derryberry".

[@christinehydell]

+TMX1138 derryberry played ryo ohki in tenchi muyo anime also jimmy neutron nicktoon

[@Dee15gon]

+TMX1138 So one of Jack Fletcher's people is involved in this too. Nice. I remember Debi as Ryo-Ohki in Tenchi Muyo. She also voiced Yugi, the big bad in Tenchi in Tokyo.

[@CarloNassar]

TMX1138 Agreed. I also hope for Jamieson Price (his voice acting is awesome), Kari Walhgren, Megan Hollingshead, and Travis Willingham, (like Jamieson Price) one of the most booming voices in anime, cartoons, and video games.

[@CarloNassar]

Debi also was known for Jimmy Neutron. Even though it's not Studiopolis.

[@saffyesperas2278]

Kumiko and Shoko are the best actors that played Diana. Debi is pretty good too.

[@carysli1145]

Diana's voice is so cute ☺️

[@vandaysovsmule1703]

The most cute voice of Diana is Kumiko😍

[@angelydays9722]

Diana sounds so cute in Japanese version!! Diana looks so cute and her eyes. Loretta who is voice acting Diana in English dub who is actually the same voice acting as Eudial in witches 5 with the red hair in sailor moon S season 3. Naomi as Diana sounds so funny and cute every time she talks I laughed!! The Japanese one is great too

[@rando_mgirldraws1832]

5:58 So adorable!

[@ashlynwolff]

Kumiko: TOO MUCH CUTENESS 😍 💖 Shoko: good Debi: Really Good

[@anthonysnyder6456]

Naomi Emmerson who was the original voice of Diana just sounded like Puar from Dragon Ball Z.

[@chilvari]

Debi Derryberry sounds really good as Diana. The other voice actors not so much.

[@cidneyforney8278]

Loretta for 90s and Debi for Cystral. Mostly because while in the 90s, she's Really small so it's fits, in Cystral she looks normal (or more child sized) so that it doesn't come off as a shock (like Luna's and Artemis's did)

[@billylilly1251]

Always Loretta

[@sheismymom]

So Luna only had one kitten in her litter? That's quite unusual. Did she smother the rest?

[@matt0044]

Well... that's dark. Maybe adoption?

[@karina5080]

Or maybe she ate them

[@RainbowMilk1996]

Luna and Artemis aren't actually cats. They're from planet Nya, which have people that can turn into cats.

[@isabella-qs1mo]

No... Luna and Artemis are Aliens, from the planet Nya, so it's very usual for that.

[@selena.1022]

i thought luna and artemis were from mau?

[@sirensong7956]

Loretta also voiced Eudial.

[@angela-chanm5168]

RYO-OHKI!!!! OMFG! Her speaking voice is sooooo purretty! X,D8

[@sophie.9092]

In Cwi dub Diana shares same va with Eugeal

[@sweetguy1820]

I don't really like the English version of sailor moon. However, I like Debi Derryberry's voice for diana. I find other actors are trying to hard to make their voice small and creep me out.

[@RecoveringChristian]

I hate them all. I hate the Diana character. If they had made her an Aussie or given her a kiwi accent, at least then it would be interesting.

[@cohenrodgersstudios]

6:56 Diana

[@kristinopperman7931]

Wow I can't believe Debi was Jimmy Neutron. I couldn't tell at all

[@guillame7422]

Dayum. I didn’t realize Diana was voiced by someone else in the movie. I always thought it was Loretta, but hearing this makes me elated. I like Naomi and Loretta, so sweet and to the point, while Debi’s is more regal and charming.

[@zakkxx1]

KUMIKO NISHIHARA GAVE LIFE TO DIANA

[@ScienceProject99]

I like most cloverway voices but i thought Loretta's voice was so hard to understand all the time

[@JohnSkellington]

It’s so awesome to notice that Diana’s current English voice is Debi Derryberry, the lady behind Jimmy Neutron, a great piece of my childhood!

[@Twinklethefox9022]

omg shes sooo cute

[@theluckiesteh9058]

Gotta Blast! :)

[@SpeedBoltz]

Diana is so cute.

[@CowboysNo1Fan]

Tara Strong should've voiced Diana, using her Bubbles voice

[@johannes12021991]

For next comparison would like to see Neptune and Uranus

[@mrnemo204]

that would have to wait

[@LuigiTheMetal64]

Somebody should tell Debi to relax and use her head voice because each time she talks, she sounds like Jimmy Neutron.

[@nateadams9517]

Debi Derryberry

[@takuapilot1190]

I want this little kitty

[@icekokoro2708]

I still wonder why they waited until the Dead Moon Circus arc to introduce Diana in the original anime. Was it just to keep the focus on Chibiusa the whole time? Who knows.

[@Nocturne22]

Chibiusa calls Diana her best friend, so having her in season 2 wouldn't have made sense since her transformation into Black Lady is dependent on her being lonely. And she's supposed to have Hotaru as her best friend in season 3. Heck, season 4 also made Diana's role in the story kind of strange since Chibiusa is hiding Helios/Pegasus from her

[@JadenMoon1475]

[@xgray2012]

Okay, I have to ask....why didn't Pioneer asked for Loretta Jafelice to reprise her role in Sailor Moon SuperS the Movie?! That's would've been so much better than casting Discount Mary Long in the English dub of Sailor Moon SuperS the Movie.

[@icekokoro2708]

Neo-Xgray87 probably because the movies were dubbed before SuperS premiered.

[@MinaVenus22]

Loretta Pulled off Diana amzingggg

[@monkeylover189]

I love the Japanese and viz

[@luzestaspendeja8480]

Came here for the queen Shoko Nakagawa ❤️

[@zinzolin14]

Debi's voice is perfect. Cute but also sophisticated enough to be a princess' attendant. Had no idea she was Jimmy Neutron before reading the comments. I'm excited to hear her in Super S

[@Decembirth]

Japanese and English Crystal, most definitely favored. The 90s was trying too much to make Diana a mascot of cute instead of smart kitty like her parents.

[@nangbaby]

Decembirth 100% agreed.

[@vampireunicorn2271]

+ Decembirth Agreed.

[@theodorecarter6601]

By virtue of doing voicework in a non-union dub, I can’t tell if Debi is ficore or union?

[@kittylovesgacha9946]

Debbi was also maya from glitter force doki doki.

[@xXDOREMIVSSONICXx]

Her fairy partner is Diana's Japanese seiyuu

[@honeynation]

I never really liked the actress that did Diana in the Cloverway dub. I agree with the person who once said that she sounded like she had a nasal congestion. 🤣🤣🤣 They could have gotten a kid actress to play her instead.

[@bluerubyshadow]

how the hell do both eudial and diana’s voices come out of loretta’s mouth

well we got another culprits Pioneer never heard of them and cloverway/cwi oh hell no.

[@josephfrye7342]

Viz media alright thank god.

[@josephfrye7342]

Adv Viz madman entertainment yes yes and yes. kaza yes.

[@Nightman221k]

I like Debi, I just wonder if she will be able to pull off a more childlike Diana voice in SuperS since in SuperS Diana is basically a baby kitten, in Crystal Diana has a more mature mentor role to Chibiusa. Where as in SuperS Diana isn't exactly a serious mentor figure, she's just a cute little kitty.

[@xgray2012]

Nightman221k We'll see.

[@xgray2012]

Nightman221k One thing to know about Debi Derryberry is that she used to be the voice of Jimmy Neutron.

[@Nightman221k]

I actually found it really easy to love Debi as Diana after watching her in the role for a few episodes SuperS. She sounds adorable! I think it's just funny how with almost all the Viz casting they cast the roles really well, but with a few it takes a little bit to adjust what you expect to hear.

[@decimatorentertainmentstud8523]

Jimmy neutron voiced diana?? #mindblown

[@Blossom44100]

Loretta wins ;)

[@mistee2193]

Naomi Emmerson is my best choice.

[@rafifakhri6481]

hey where is cast saturn uranus and neptune

[@DJD11920]

I haven't made their videos yet. I'm waiting until the first half of Sailor Moon S's Viz dub is released, which won't be until sometime in November, I think.

[@rafifakhri6481]

+Dj D. wow that too long

[@stashiapie6403]

Put the actor sailor v

[@vampireunicorn2271]

Kumiko and Loretta's voices worked well for 90's Diana. Both Shoko Nakagawa and Debi Derryberry's voices worked brilliantly for the more smarter Diana in the Crystal version. Naomi Emmerson's voice did not work AT ALL. Enough said.

[@kristinehussey4540]

I have a suggestion: how about a voice comparison of Momoko Momohara/Melisaa/Melanie? That would be cool. Debi Derryberry also voices her.

[@briansivley2001]

Fun fact she's originally voiced by Amy Rose from Sonic The Hedgehog.

[@StarZendonna1687]

I like Naomi's interpretation as Diana Loretta is a so/so

[@ameerahabdallah2416]

Kumiko wins, but for the dub Naomi and Loretta were really good they sounded a lot more like the Japanese, and carried the same high pitch Diana had in the Japanese.

[@johnnyb9591]

I got to go with Debi because she sounds like a kid,Loretta and Naomi sound like Toddlers

[@azazelc8079]

Loretta wins for English dub

[@carolmele4712]

Don't like when voices are dubbed

[@billylilly1251]

Wow Sailor moon crystal both sub and dub were terrible

[@lust4lyfe101]

The SuperS movie of Diana is awful in dub

[@usagitsukinoyesaphmaunovgc4205]

lust4lyfe101 I know. They could have used a kid for her.

[@vampireunicorn2271]

She sounded like a man trying to impersonate Minnie Mouse, yuck!
