@@hectichooligan8299 Yeah! I know she has still done some anime work kinda recently like Kushina in Naruto but it would be dope to hear her in more dubs again.
I didn't notice how well and improved the new dub is compared to the 2001 version. The VA's have improved yes but i also think its the advancement in audio recording technology. Before its just sounded a bit muffled.
Tbh, I really don't think there's that much of an improvement in dub work. I think it's mostly better tech, directing and localization. There's a reason a lot of the actors from the so called "bad era" are still around.
Same. I found Momiji's German accent so strange at first but now I love it. It really suits him. I love how the anime shows that Momiji puts on the accent to feel closer to his mother. It's the little details that make Fruits Basket so special 💖💖
The manga said he was German and that his Japanese showed his German accent so for me hearing him not have a German accent was weird for me. So this anime felt much more like what I imagined momiji would sound like
I didn't realize that they had so many of the original voice actors. I knew that Tohru, Kyo, Yuki and Shigure were the same but the others were a pleasent surprise. Kisa's VA was a huge transformation. XD
She kinda just sounds like an uwu imitation of a young girl now (which she is doing, granted). Kisa's original voice, when she was eleven, sounds very distinctively like a normal eleven year old girl, which is more realistic imo. It's rather difficult to hear this current performance.
I like how she sounded more when she was actually 11 because her voice is so high pitched and more whinier then when she does it as 29. I would of have just replaced her with another 11 year old girl for this dub. I guess that is rude but youd get more of a realistic voice.
I feel like the one who improved them most was Eric. He was great before but I like that this time he didn't go as soft with Yuki's voice. And he's doing an amazing job at the time when sassy Yuki comes out to play.
@@sandygonsalves4646 No actually 2019 sounds more like a teenager. Yuki is portrayed soft and 2001 didn't quite catch that soft voice, but 2019 did it perfectly
@@sandygonsalves4646 Sorry I don't quite understand what you are trying to say. If you meant that in both 2001 and 2019, Yuki's voice doesn't sound like a teenager, well that's just individual perspective 🤷 But still I like 2019 Yuki better😋😋
@@expresser5958 that's exactly what I meant, but I also said to each their own. Either way, he still sounds good. Personally I prefer the overall dialogue flow of the 2001 version
I think it's less that she was "off" in 2001 and more that she used different vocal ranges. In 2001, she was using her natural regular voice, in 2019 I think she's doing a higher pitch take in order to sound younger since she got older and that original voice matured too much. This could have been grating with other actresses, but for some reason it actually ends up working better for her here, either way in both versions I think she continues to be incredible as always :)
Kelly Joule !! This, you’re absolutely right, this was almost 20 years ago so yeah, her voice has changed and matured, in this reboot it’s higher pitched (but she can still reach that range because she played maka and in soul eater NOT which was back in 2015, she still had that tohru/maka “sound”) I’m guessing the voice director wanted her to sound younger, even higher pitched than the 2001 version of her 💚
This kinda relates to my comment, I said that the 2001 dub it seems like there’s less confidence with playing around with the voice like in terms of pitch to simulate emotion. Mufasa from the lion king for example, the VA there plays with the voice that he does, Laura back then seems less confident and comes off as flat a little.while now she played with the tone which I like a lot more to give it more life/emotion
I haven't seen the original anime in so long but they have all improved SO much and I am extremely happy with the DUB! I know a lot of people don't like DUB or the original Furuba DUB but besides growing up with these voices, I also feel in general most of them truly suit them and it's so wonderful that they have gotten better too! It's funny because most of the voices sound very 90's along with of course the quality in the recordings of the voices sounding old in the original. But I feel a lot of them got better and in general the voices work better now since it's rebooted and closer to the manga story. As Malyutka said "the current dub works so well for the more emotional theme".
Like how for the original fullmetal alchemist alphonse was voiced by a young kid, but when brotherhood came out he hit puberty and couldn't do the voice
yea....but i feel like that kind of set the note of the anime. the new one sometimes seems too bright, like trying to hard, even though it lacks to comedic genius of the 2001 anime. I hate to compare, I think they both did the story justice in their own ways.

This was amazing! Thanks for comparing the dub voices. When you hear them side by side you can really tell how much the voice actors have improved. FruBa has one of the best dubs ever, and the fact they brought so many of the original cast shows just how unique and special this series really is to everyone involved 😊💕
@@sandygonsalves4646 wow seriously? Well their intonation and line delivery is vastly better than the original dub. They also convey emotion so much better in the reboot. Eric Vale in particular is miles better
@@MyTaintedInnocence I'm not sure I agree with that. There was plenty of emotion already in the original and the script itself had way more personality. For example, hatsuharu. When he's telling kisa he was worried about her, in the 2019 version he says rather calmly almost flat. But in the original 2001 version his voice actually TREMBLES , showing exactly how upset he was by kisa disappearing. So I have to strongly disagree with the 2019 version showing more emotion. It's not that the voice acting itself is more emotional, but the script itself is more emotional.
Theres so much more inflections and feeling in their words in the new series. I noticed it immediately when I started the reboot. The old one was so monotone and Yuki especiallyyyyyy was so quiet and breathy and annoying. The new take on his voice is so much more natural feeling, though it's still noticeable when he yells.
I love the original dub 😭 the way Tohru's voice cracks, Kyo's tone and Yuki's coldness was so perfect in itself 😭❤ As a part of my childhood that was never really completed (as in they didnt animate as far as they did w the new ver) I feel really happy to see the original VA's come back 💖
I'm so happy that the V/As are the same ;;;;---;;;; i grew up on the dubs and they're the only dub i tolerate now. Modern dubs ain't it for me usually.
The timing of the lines are so much better too. In addition to the actors, the ADR and dub script team did a great job of making the lines feel more natural.
Honestly, I think Eric Vale had the biggest improvement! His voice for Yuki sounds much more natural/relaxed, while still fitting the image of the character Yuki so well! As for the cast overall, they've all done a greta job! Absolutely thrilled with all their work for this reboot!
I can’t believe they got almost every single voice back. I was expecting one or two when the show was announced, but they outdid themselves. When they put that much effort into it before the show even starts that’s how you know the dub’s quality.
I love the original anime because it was so monumental for me. That being said, it was serious at the wrong times and funny at the wrong time. I could see why it would have been difficult to continue the series because it left out so many important aspects of the characters and what they contribute to the plot
@@gamerGirl90001 OMG I didn't know that. The difference is amazing. I would have never guessed in a million years as even when the spa lady was relatively calm she sounded old, tired but professional (AKA nothing like Kyoko).
Wow so much better now! I love sub and dub. It is not only the intonation, pronunciation and emotion, even the dialogue is so much better. And how Kisa voice looks even younger now that she's older!?!?
I think all of the voice actors have grown so much! For Kisa's voice actress quite a lot! Actually, I think they should have given that part to a little girl like that did in the original. But it's also sweet they asked Kisa's voice actress to come back too :)
I like the fact that a majority of the original voice cast returned for the remake. You can see how much better they've gotten over the years. Not that the 2000's version is bad, a lot of anime in the 90's and early 2000's were all about the same when it came to dub VA quality.
I like to play a game where I try to figure out which changes are the result of them becoming better VAs with experience, and what is a result of the different tone of the 2019 version?
@@arashisora it might be the audio mixing for the sound effects that play along the punchline. A lot of anime will have the sound effects be very loud in comedic scenes, which kinda gives the same impression as a laugh track to me (fmab, haikyuu, and akatsuki no yona are some examples). It’s honestly a really big pet peeve of mine and I’m surprised more people don’t notice it
This came out before I was born. Funny story I discovered this anime by finding it on the ground of a thrift shop! It was being crushed :( I don’t regret picking up a dirty movie box
I know this is a dub comparison but the animation has also improved so much! Not only is there much more movement, but there's also much more detail. It makes sense, as animation has moved forward since the original was made, but it's still cool to see when directly comparing them
I know some people say that Yuki's voice sounds too old but I personally love it. I think it adds more character to him, especially his snarky and sassy moments. His calm and quiet demeanor acts as a nice foil to contrast Kyo's loud, brash voice. Speaking of Kyo, I think Jerry really upgraded the tonality of his character. He manages to sound kind of angry with every line, even when Kyo is trying to be nice. I think it shows Kyo's "awkward kindness" a bit better.
@@ryanmelton2182 I was suprised that Laura Bailey return for the 2019 anime considering that she nowadays does cartoons and video games voice acting more.
I love the old version so much more, voicewise. Like, how they expressed their characters! They brought so much life to them, at least going by this comparison. But, it's great that they've expanded and revised it! So I'm excited!
The older dub is so much more realistic... The newer version feels too... unrealistic, like trying way too hard. No one actually speaks like that, it feels acted. The older version felt less acted and more natural. Except for Ayame - lol that energy stayed exactly the same. Also, I guess Kisa sounded better in the newer version.
Honestly this was definitely one of the things I loved about the remaster. Was that they brought back all their original voice actors. That’s why I still kept continuing to watch them in English dub. I did watch some in Japanese cuz the English takes forever. Then I got patient and the season 2 dub finally finished LOL. I wanna keep watching in English it’s great.
Jerry Jewell sounds much better in the 2019 anime than the 2001 series. He always sounded a bit off in the 2001 series. Laura Bailey and John Burgmeier were easily the best out of the main 4 in the first tv series. I don't really see anything wrong with their original performance. Eric Vale may sound a bit creepy but it fits with Yuki's 2001 design. In the 2019 series he doesn't sound nearly as bad as I thought he would since hisTrunks sounds awful nowadays.
Everyone seems more monotone in the original except Jerry sounds the same, which isn’t bad since in the original he was very good. Also Ritsu’s voice actor sounds the same too.
You can really hear the differences, while it is the same cast (and I love that they managed to get the same cast) there are differences. I think the remake is better because it’s a remake. A lot as happened in 18 years, technology got better for voice acting, and the voice actors grew and were able to better their skills, either the voices matured or they gained experience. I think this is why the remake is a better dub
Same. At first I was like "okay this voice acting is a little better and the animation is good" and now I'm like "omg the 2001 was so much worse in every aspect"
i don’t know whether the change in hatori’s voice was just a side effect of time passing and the actor aging or if it was a conscious decision on his part but i really really love hatori’s lower, rougher voice in the update!!!
I’ve always loved Laura, Eric, and Jerry’s voices. I still do in the reboot. However, the original just feels different, and I prefer the old voice acting since it had a cute naïveté, BUT, I understand that the original was made almost two full decades ago, so I completely understand how everyone who was recast sounds different. Even so, their voice acting has aged phenomenally. While I liked their old voices better since they sound younger and “sweeter” like actual teens, the new voice acting has WAY more emotion since the actors are older and have more experience. Both versions of the dub are wonderful.
When I look at the two, this is how I feel. The new version has does its story telling better, the animation is much more polished and the voice acting is top notch. However, when it comes to the emotional aspect, I feel like the OG anime did it a little better. What I mean to say is that when it came to the big emotional scenes like the lesson about the rice ball and the plum, or about the importance of memories, the OG delivered it better because it had the perfect music that helped sell the point home and made the lessons stick with you while the new one doesn't have that. Aside from that, the new one is very good, however when it came to showing emotion and wisdom, I usually show the older version to others so they understand what the anime is about.
Yes, you described my feelings perfectly. Sure the new version has better animation and many of the voice actors are more technically skilled, but the new version doesn't make me cry and the original does. Therefore the original is better.
One of my favorite improvements from the original is their consideration for correct Japanese pronunciation, particularly for names!! Every single time I hear one of them say the Japanese "r" sound for names, I get so happy ☺
The dub isn’t the problem… it’s just the feeling behind it. The words and the delivery is not as impactful and it makes me so sad… the emotion behind it and choice of words it doesn’t feel the same…
in the 2001 version, i think tohru sounded more like a young woman than a highschooler-i’m glad the voice direction made her sound younger in the reboot

@@sandygonsalves4646 wow seriously? Well their intonation and line delivery is vastly better than the original dub. They also convey emotion so much better in the reboot. Eric Vale in particular is miles better
@@sandygonsalves4646 although to be fair the original dub was already pretty good.
@@MyTaintedInnocence I'm not sure I agree with that. There was plenty of emotion already in the original and the script itself had way more personality. For example, hatsuharu. When he's telling kisa he was worried about her, in the 2019 version he says rather calmly almost flat. But in the original 2001 version his voice actually TREMBLES , showing exactly how upset he was by kisa disappearing. So I have to strongly disagree with the 2019 version showing more emotion. It's not that the voice acting itself is more emotional, but the script itself is more emotional.
Theres so much more inflections and feeling in their words in the new series. I noticed it immediately when I started the reboot. The old one was so monotone and Yuki especiallyyyyyy was so quiet and breathy and annoying. The new take on his voice is so much more natural feeling, though it's still noticeable when he yells.
I love the original dub 😭 the way Tohru's voice cracks, Kyo's tone and Yuki's coldness was so perfect in itself 😭❤ As a part of my childhood that was never really completed (as in they didnt animate as far as they did w the new ver) I feel really happy to see the original VA's come back 💖
I love Chris Sabat as Ayame especially the newer version. Everytime I hear his voice I giggle😆
i hear zoro lol
I love his acting XD
Fun Fact: The author of Fruits Basket hated the 1st adaptation of the anime.
She hated it so much XD
They didn't take the heavy weight of the series seriously. As a writer of someone did that to me I'd be pissed as shit too.
@@kirikake5414 The first anime was made when the manga was still ongoing. IIRC, the manga ended in 2006.
I don't blame her
I feel like the dub just expresses the emotions better now that the voice actors are more experienced
I'm so happy that the V/As are the same ;;;;---;;;; i grew up on the dubs and they're the only dub i tolerate now. Modern dubs ain't it for me usually.
The timing of the lines are so much better too. In addition to the actors, the ADR and dub script team did a great job of making the lines feel more natural.
Honestly, I think Eric Vale had the biggest improvement! His voice for Yuki sounds much more natural/relaxed, while still fitting the image of the character Yuki so well! As for the cast overall, they've all done a greta job! Absolutely thrilled with all their work for this reboot!
Fruits Basket 2019 cast changes from 2001:
Akito Soma- Colleen Clinkenbeard(Erza Scarlet, Monkey D. Luffy, Riza Hawkeye)
Momiji Soma- Mikaela Krantz(Misaki Shokuho, Clementine, Chio Miyamo)
Hiro Soma- Luci Christian(Nami, Nagisa Furukawa, Ochaco Uraraka)
Kagura Soma- Tia Ballard(Happy, Zero Two, Mizore Shirayuki)
Arisa Uotani- Elizabeth Maxwell(Albedo, Midnight, Caulifla)
Saki Hanajima- Jad Saxton(Koneko Tojo, Carla, Akatsuki)
Sound quality has also changed over time
I can’t believe they got almost every single voice back. I was expecting one or two when the show was announced, but they outdid themselves. When they put that much effort into it before the show even starts that’s how you know the dub’s quality.
I love the original anime because it was so monumental for me. That being said, it was serious at the wrong times and funny at the wrong time. I could see why it would have been difficult to continue the series because it left out so many important aspects of the characters and what they contribute to the plot
Omg I forgot how much Julia went off in the 2001 version 😂.
Especially when she also voiced Kyoko in the 2001 😳 never knew they had the same voice because she really went all out for the spa lady
@@gamerGirl90001 OMG I didn't know that. The difference is amazing. I would have never guessed in a million years as even when the spa lady was relatively calm she sounded old, tired but professional (AKA nothing like Kyoko).
Wow so much better now! I love sub and dub. It is not only the intonation, pronunciation and emotion, even the dialogue is so much better. And how Kisa voice looks even younger now that she's older!?!?
Omg Kate's improvement had me shook--! I mean everyone did but i think Kisa'a Va is wow
i think i have a big bias towards the 2001 because it’s so nostalgic for me, but i can definitely hear the improvement in a lot of their performances
I think all of the voice actors have grown so much! For Kisa's voice actress quite a lot! Actually, I think they should have given that part to a little girl like that did in the original. But it's also sweet they asked Kisa's voice actress to come back too :)
The way Shigure pronounce Ayame's name in the old version was a bit annoying to me 😅
But the reboot was quite amazing.. 😉 All ot them sound better ✨✨
I like the fact that a majority of the original voice cast returned for the remake. You can see how much better they've gotten over the years. Not that the 2000's version is bad, a lot of anime in the 90's and early 2000's were all about the same when it came to dub VA quality.
Arron Dismuke was 9 years old for the 2002 one, how crazy and he actually appears in the 2019 one
That's the thing, actual children tend to feel a lot more mature sounding than older people doing young voices. It's weird.
All I hear is Kirishima when Hatsuharu is on screen
I hear Yusuke!God I’m old!😂
I like to play a game where I try to figure out which changes are the result of them becoming better VAs with experience, and what is a result of the different tone of the 2019 version?
There's something about the 2001 series that I enjoy more than the 2019 and I can't quite put my finger on it.
@@arashisora it might be the audio mixing for the sound effects that play along the punchline. A lot of anime will have the sound effects be very loud in comedic scenes, which kinda gives the same impression as a laugh track to me (fmab, haikyuu, and akatsuki no yona are some examples). It’s honestly a really big pet peeve of mine and I’m surprised more people don’t notice it
This came out before I was born. Funny story I discovered this anime by finding it on the ground of a thrift shop! It was being crushed :( I don’t regret picking up a dirty movie box
I know this is a dub comparison but the animation has also improved so much! Not only is there much more movement, but there's also much more detail. It makes sense, as animation has moved forward since the original was made, but it's still cool to see when directly comparing them
Am I the only one that thinks Motoko’s voice was by FAR the best improvement ??
I like tohru’s voice then, right know it sounds like they’re trying to make her sound cute
Agreed
I know some people say that Yuki's voice sounds too old but I personally love it. I think it adds more character to him, especially his snarky and sassy moments. His calm and quiet demeanor acts as a nice foil to contrast Kyo's loud, brash voice.
Speaking of Kyo, I think Jerry really upgraded the tonality of his character. He manages to sound kind of angry with every line, even when Kyo is trying to be nice. I think it shows Kyo's "awkward kindness" a bit better.
The newer Tohru voice is the best voice in existence.
It’s the same voice actress for both versions
Yeah but if you think it sounds the same you need your ears checked.
It's so much more cuter
@@ryanmelton2182 I was suprised that Laura Bailey return for the 2019 anime considering that she nowadays does cartoons and video games voice acting more.
@@player2-lightwater914 she has been in some other anime’s she one of the precure dubs as the MC back in 2016-2017
I love the old version so much more, voicewise. Like, how they expressed their characters! They brought so much life to them, at least going by this comparison. But, it's great that they've expanded and revised it! So I'm excited!
I agree completely, older version just steals my heart.
This shows the drastic difference and improvement so well! I knew there was a difference but this made it all the more clear. I love them all!
The 2019 dub is much better
The older dub is so much more realistic... The newer version feels too... unrealistic, like trying way too hard. No one actually speaks like that, it feels acted. The older version felt less acted and more natural.
Except for Ayame - lol that energy stayed exactly the same.
Also, I guess Kisa sounded better in the newer version.
I completely agree! The original had a way better flow and was more natural. The remake as a whole feels so try hard -ish
Honestly this was definitely one of the things I loved about the remaster. Was that they brought back all their original voice actors. That’s why I still kept continuing to watch them in English dub. I did watch some in Japanese cuz the English takes forever. Then I got patient and the season 2 dub finally finished LOL. I wanna keep watching in English it’s great.
I'm watching the sub version (cause i cant find it in dub with good quality)
But after i finish will watch the dub version
Cant wait
www1.cartooncrazy.net/anime/fruits-basket-2019/ This might work for you.
Try Funimation it’s on their fully dubbed
@@chloe4521 i would, but its not available in my country
@@djami4057 Thank you
Jerry Jewell sounds much better in the 2019 anime than the 2001 series. He always sounded a bit off in the 2001 series.
Laura Bailey and John Burgmeier were easily the best out of the main 4 in the first tv series. I don't really see anything wrong with their original performance.
Eric Vale may sound a bit creepy but it fits with Yuki's 2001 design. In the 2019 series he doesn't sound nearly as bad as I thought he would since hisTrunks sounds awful nowadays.
Eric doesnt sounds creepy in the 2001 version. Come on
Everyone seems more monotone in the original except Jerry sounds the same, which isn’t bad since in the original he was very good. Also Ritsu’s voice actor sounds the same too.
Wow... massive improvement from age 11 to 29 (like, obviously yes, but like its sooo much better dang)
Listen to Kate Bristol flex
Justin Cook as Haru went from sounding like yusuke in the 2001 anime to sounding like raditz in the 2019 anime
Just hearing Laura Bailey alone improving so much from her original performance, when it was already decent, shows how talented she is
im so glad they brought back the original cast, i was so worried i was gonna have to get used to new voices
You can really hear the differences, while it is the same cast (and I love that they managed to get the same cast) there are differences. I think the remake is better because it’s a remake. A lot as happened in 18 years, technology got better for voice acting, and the voice actors grew and were able to better their skills, either the voices matured or they gained experience. I think this is why the remake is a better dub
I really thought that Yuki got a new voiceactor! Wow! I love his new voice. Not as feminine.
They have improved so much since the old version. ^\\^ The new one sounds like it has much more emotion in their performances
Is it just me or did Jerry Jewel sound more T E X A N in the original series?
They sound more energetic and more dramatic in the 2019 dub and I like it
Is it bad that I still prefer certain 2001 scenes better? They just hit different idk maybe because I watched that first or maybe its the music
No, but I'm with the author regarding the 2001 adaptation
Honestly yukis voice fits so perfectly In the new dub.... Its gentle, Yet sounds kinda lonely
I still love it that Vegeta/Piccolo/Yamcha are Ayame xD
It makes me happy to hear how many actors actually reprised their roles and it’s amazing to see the growth 🥰
when i started watching the 2019 one i couldn’t tell the difference between them both but now oh my god 😳
Same. At first I was like "okay this voice acting is a little better and the animation is good" and now I'm like "omg the 2001 was so much worse in every aspect"
i don’t know whether the change in hatori’s voice was just a side effect of time passing and the actor aging or if it was a conscious decision on his part but i really really love hatori’s lower, rougher voice in the update!!!
Am I the only one that likes the 2001 dub way more than 2019??? Momijis voice especially was the best in 2001 😔🤚
Your not alone I liked the original better too. It's probably just nostalgia since this anime got me through a tough time.
I’ve always loved Laura, Eric, and Jerry’s voices. I still do in the reboot. However, the original just feels different, and I prefer the old voice acting since it had a cute naïveté, BUT, I understand that the original was made almost two full decades ago, so I completely understand how everyone who was recast sounds different. Even so, their voice acting has aged phenomenally. While I liked their old voices better since they sound younger and “sweeter” like actual teens, the new voice acting has WAY more emotion since the actors are older and have more experience. Both versions of the dub are wonderful.
Yo the sound quality has come along way since 2001. So glad the original cast is in both the original and remake.
Why did they make there lines more wordy I kinda liked the simplicity of the 2001 series 👉👈
with how things are going since 2019 im not surprised of Jamie Marchi's role XD
When I look at the two, this is how I feel. The new version has does its story telling better, the animation is much more polished and the voice acting is top notch. However, when it comes to the emotional aspect, I feel like the OG anime did it a little better.
What I mean to say is that when it came to the big emotional scenes like the lesson about the rice ball and the plum, or about the importance of memories, the OG delivered it better because it had the perfect music that helped sell the point home and made the lessons stick with you while the new one doesn't have that.
Aside from that, the new one is very good, however when it came to showing emotion and wisdom, I usually show the older version to others so they understand what the anime is about.
Yes, you described my feelings perfectly. Sure the new version has better animation and many of the voice actors are more technically skilled, but the new version doesn't make me cry and the original does. Therefore the original is better.
In my opinion, the best glow-up was in Kisa's VA.
bro yuki was a lot better in the first ngl 😭😭
One of my favorite improvements from the original is their consideration for correct Japanese pronunciation, particularly for names!! Every single time I hear one of them say the Japanese "r" sound for names, I get so happy ☺
The dub isn’t the problem… it’s just the feeling behind it. The words and the delivery is not as impactful and it makes me so sad… the emotion behind it and choice of words it doesn’t feel the same…
Some originals are better than the new ones & other way around....it really just depends on the scene
4:39 LMAO WHY ARENT WE TALKING ABOUT HOW THE NO TURNED INTO A YES-
I was searching for this comment the yes is funnier imo
"Uh... no."
"Uhh......... yes."
5:24 kisa sounded alot older in first version and then got younger as an adult. That's amazing
Ahhh I love the 2001 version better. But that's mostly because I grew up on the 2001 version. 🥲
fun fact: Hatsuharu and Kirishima have the same dub
Fun Fact: So does Kakeru and Amajiki 😚 (PS, they're cousins)
in the 2001 version, i think tohru sounded more like a young woman than a highschooler-i’m glad the voice direction made her sound younger in the reboot
They did that with a lot of animes back then. Im glad they noticed it and changed
