Karen's unique performance as Ami will always be in my heart. She made Mercury special, with that peculiar way of speech and accent.
Karen Bernstein is my favorite Mercury voice. Love her! 💙 watching those scenes with her voice brings so many wonderful memories
Her Mercury voice was PRECIOUS!!
honeynation A teen girl sounding like an 80 year old British woman, NUH UH! Buh bye! :)
Aya's voice is just so perfect for Ami/Sailor Mercury. So Sweet, innocent and shy. I wish she had voiced her in Crystal as well.
They should've gotten all the original voice actors to return for Crystal. But I do like Chibiusa's new voice actor much better.
Karen is awesome as Mercury
@Nareg papaz I miss her voice for Amy so much!
She Voiced Sailor Mercury in Sailor Moon Anime TV series like Erika Scheimer Voiced Frosta from She-Ra Princess of Power (1985) with Ice Freeze,Blue Clothes and Hair
I always liked Karen's voice, just the acting seemed off at times. I've never been a fan of Liza though, she makes her sound somewhat old and less-bright... I really enjoy Kate's performance. Her voice suits Ami very well, and can pull off her sweet and tough sides.
Liza honestly felt like parody of Karen’s take on Ami with how uncannily similar and yet different their voices were
Ikr😂😂😂 i was like “why does she sound like Serena/sailor moon?😂”
Time for rating!
Aya Hisakawa: 10/10 it sounds very cute! She must’ve worked so hard and im planning on watching the japan ver of sailor moon!
Hisako Kanemoto: 9/10 shes sounds so awesome and soft! I feel like she just needs 2 act more like ami’s emotions:)
Karen Bernstein: 10/10 DIC IS THE FIRST DUB I HAVE WATCHED! Her voice fits so well and she needs to be promoted! Shes my favourite actor!
Liza BaIkan: 5/10 its not very good because l feel like it sounds 2 plain..
Kate Higgins: 10/10 SHES MY MOST FAVOURITE ! Her voice slayed as sailor mercury and im so glad shes promoted! It just fits so well!⭐️
Original Japanese voice Aya is the best.
My favorite in Japanese is Aya Hisakawa (she's literally so cute 💙)
And of course my favorite in English is our queen Kate Higgins
its weird hearing sakura haruno's voice come out of Ami XD
Loved Kate's performance as her though
Elka didn't she sing jump super star from Mario?
StrawberryCookie she did
My Top Sailor Mercury English Actress
1. Kate Higgins
2. Karen Bernstein
3. Liz Balkan
Voting kate
My issue with Kate as mercury and Christina vee as Mars is. I have heard them in a million other things and I often hear them together. So I can't help but think of the other iconic characters because their voices are so distinct.
Karen hands down!
I like both of the Japanese voices. They catched perfectly the sweet side of Ami. She is the sweetest of the senshis afterall. 😉 I like Kate Higgins' voice for the English version for the same reason. She gives Ami a calm tone in the voice.
Kate's voice is so cute and very fitting. I liked the slight British accent Karen had but she sounded too old to voice a teenager.
Too old? Her squeaky voice just sounds younger than Kate imo
She literally voiced Hello Kitty, known old lady, right. You guys are silly.
@Random stuff 2 reboot at all. She just sounds like a generic girl voice. Karen went from meek mousey wallflower to confident young woman even insulting villains with flair, fragile and ferocious. Kate....it's the same throughout. Her performance got better in Crystal though.
@@RecoveringChristian Logic? A teenage and an adult sound different, besides, her hello kitty performances can also sound too old
@@ozvuchkibilla lol only in the anime fandom is that a consistent talking point. Squeaky high pitched chipmunk voices are the norm, anything and I mean ANYTHING that does not fit into that puritical mold is old lady voice to you guys hahaha
Damn, Hisako sounds so similar to Aya, although I have to give this to the latter - she nailed Ami's sweet and gentle personality but she also brought out her aggressive side when it really called for it. Same applies to Kate - there's also a motherly side to her take which fits Ami quite well. I wouldn't mind Ami having a British accent but hearing Karen's take, it does sound rather inconsistent and she did have some rather iffy lines work with. I'll give her this much though - at least she sounded age-appropriate and actually invested in the role which is more than I can say of Liza Balkan who made Ami sound like a wimpy and depressed old grandma.
You have no content on your channel
It's not British, it's a New England accent in North America.
@@jacefiore6203why does that even matter in the first place?
Karen Bernstein best English dub
Kate was Lissa from Fire Emblem Awakening, and Talho from Eureka Seven (which co-starred with Stephanie Sheh, Usagi's VA).
Don't Mention That Hisako is Also FE: Fates's Sakura
Sakura and hinata
Aya as Maya Natsume (another role of hers) is such range. I can hear a bit of Ami when she voices the young form of Maya but mostly shes unrecognisable.
Yes first time I watched that anime in Japanese I was so shocked that my Aya San had such a crazy range.. it felt like Ami Chan was getting older and tougher 😂❤
Kate Higgins is my favorite and best voice
Judging by this video alone Kate Higgins sounds much more "Mercury like" in the Crystal dub as opposed to the clips from the original anime.
Kate is my favorite but Karen was a decent choice for Mercury in the Dic dub
I could've sworn that Liza's take on Mercury sounded nasally. (I remember that being the bigger complaint about her back in the day.)
People keep saying that Kate gives her too much "Sakura-Esque" but I think its better that way. Kate gives Ami a unique, adorable, memorial voice that fits her perfectly!!! Why would we want a japenese teen girl to sound like an 80 year old british lady, genius or not!?!?!?!?! I think Liz and Karen are great voice actor, but not fit for a japenese teen girl, so Kate is by far the best as far as english goes. Japenese wise, both actresses are amazing :3
When I watch it, literally all I hear is Sakura.
Kira Dunlap a common side effect of how mainstream anime is compared to 20+ years ago, and the union. Oh that union.
So true! Fun Fact: The voices of the Viz Media dub were handpicked by Naoko Takeuchi, the original creator of the manga, she felt like these characters fit her characters perfectly.
@@moonie5638 that’s freaking cool but do you have a source to show that this is true
@@sw33g3r3he/she doesn’t need to look it yourself not trying to be rude
As dreaded as the Dic dub is--I love Karen's Ami performance. The way she emphasizes her constant sounds makes her sound so proper and cute!
DIC had to best voice acting. CWI had the worst
Dic wasn't bad. I mean it wasn't the best but it wasn't that bad of a dub. CWI is another story though...
@@kitakoproductions8894 Be that as it may, there were too many cringe moments that took away from the series that had me asking voice directors "did you even watch the anime when it was bootleg to American shores?"
Aya Hisikawa is queen. The End.
I think my favourites are Aya and Karen. With Aya's soft voice, it feels like she really captures Ami's soft side, and it really carries lots of emotion with it.
On the other hand, I don't think super highly of Karen's acting, but to me, her tone does give off quite a mature and bright character, which is always how I have just pictured Ami (though might be because it was how I originally watched the dub)
Honestly, they all have great voices though ^^ They may not all suit Mercury, but they certainly have talents with voice acting.
Karen's accent would slip in and out but Liza sounded a bit robotic. Kate Higgins sounds a lot more articulate and witty while still keeping the down to earth nature Ami has.
Nah, she sounds just like Sakura from naruto
And that’s a problem because.......?
haven't heard much from liza balkin so I don't really know much about her mercury but Karen & Kate are perfect Karen's British accent that she gave mercury really made her a unique character like terri hawkes did with sailor moon as for Kate people criticized her for just being the voice for sakura haruno in Naruto/shippuden well that may be true but she's gone on to play other great roles such as Chloe in glitter force which I find very unique that she plays both ami and chloe with both of them being the geniuses in the group
Aya Hisakawa- Her voice fits her character, sweet and soft, I love her voice!
Hisako Kanemoto- Her voice is okay, but it's didn't grow on me, it still sounds sweet and soft, so it's okay.
Karen Bernstein- It sounds kinda nice, but to bad she was stuck with a butchered script, she gave a nice personality, so she did great.
Liza Balkan- She sounds like a older woman, but she did her best, I felt bad for the script she had to stick with and the direction, but she did a great job.
Kate Higgins- She gave a good touch to her voice, she captures Ami's voice perfectly, she my favourite English voice actress for Ami/Sailor Mercury.
Agreed for Kate's and Hisakawa's
Tbh Kate Higgins as Ami (and maybe Sandy Fox as Chibiusa) are one of the only Viz voices I really like. Unlike a lot of the other Viz voices Kate sounds very natural and not like she's putting on a phony voice or just imitating the JP version as close as possible.
Karen Bernstein is good of course, that line about hearing people thought she was a "brain farm reject" is silly in writing but she legitimately sounded like she was crying. That's some good skill being able to pull off lines like that and make them sound genuine. (Referring to 7:46)
Liza Balkan I feel like gets a little too much hate. She's not perfect but she does really well as a substitute. I honestly think Balkan's voice would fit an adult version of Ami perfectly.
Kate Higgins and Aya Hisakawa are Amazing as Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury
I agree.^^
And as of right now nobody is as good as Aya and Kate
@@vampireunicorn2271 i think Kate would be a perfect Christopher Robbin voice
@@noahthepokemaster1572 what about Hisako Kanemoto? I mean, she doesn't have much not unlike Hisakawa, which she voiced male voices like Kerobus from Cardcaptor Sakura and Ray Kon from Beyblade, but voiced Ikumusume
@@jacefiore6203 she's ok
All I kept hearing was Sakura Haruno with Kate Higgins Mercury 😂
I like the picture of Karen Bernstein that you've included in this reel, Dj D. She looks pretty in it.👍
Amy: "Some people make calle me a bookworm, but my weapon is my brain!"
Me: 🤣 "You're still a bookworm, nerd!"
I still have a crush on Sailor Mercury
Kate Higgins’s Ami Mizuno is very clear and elegant.
Karen is the one I always knew as my Mercury. Mercury is my favourite sailor scout, I love her ❤️
Kate Higgins is my favorite too because her voice is sweet and pretty!
Aya Hisakawa also voiced Baron Asura in Robot Girls Z and that homeroom teacher from the first season of Sound! Euphonium? And of course I know Kate Higgins as Nanoko-Sensei from Lucky Star and Chloe from Glitter Force (Smile! Precure).
Kate was also Starla in Blaze and the Monster Machines
Aya was Bulma in Dragon Ball Super: Broly and Kaoru Niimi in Space Battleship Yamato 2199.
Kate & Aya are my favorite Mercury’s
Kate was emulating Aya Hisikawa’s style and pronounced “Mercury Aqua Raspody” correctly just like Peter Kelamis pronounced “Kaioken” correctly
Karen Bernstein and Kate Higgins > Liza Balkan. Sorry, Ms. Balkan, but Ms. Bernstein and Ms. Higgins did it better.
All this time I wondered what Karen looked like. Tears of just reading her bio wasn’t enough lol. She looks so pretty. Her Sailor Mercury is just so cute and cunning ✨. I hope she and Liza are ok after all this time.
i like all except liza balkan
Is no one going to talk about the hell of a good voice actress is Hisako?
I always wondered why ami's English voice in the earlier years was slightly British if they were going to give anyone an accent why not minako when she came from the UK
The fact both Aya Hisakawa and Kate Higgins played two characters (Mercury and Unohana) actually blows my mind
Kate Higgins seems to put too much Sakura-esque into it, and cannot see the voice fit the polite, soft, bookish, mannerisms that Mercury is and has. I like Kate, but compared to the japanese voices and Karen, I cannot do it.
Aya Hisakawa is always Mercury for me, love her voice and mannerisms, do not really care for Hisako's take.
Karen Bernstein is always English Mercury for me, for the same reasons as Aya.
Do not like Liza at all.
Me too!!
Hard to believe that Aya deepened her voice to pass as a soft spoken pretty boy named Yuki Soma from Fruits Basket. The cat refers to him as that "damn sissy little rat boy!"
Facts ❤
Only Aya's voice can truly bring Ami's character to life, and while Hisako's voice is also good, Ami is not the same unless she has that kansai accent, and that's something no one other than Aya can deliver to perfection
Also Karen and Terry (Usagi's 2nd season VA) have a similarities with their voice acting. Both has that dramatic old lady feeling.
I like her voice acting and all but that's not Ami.
Hisako is great but Aya is just... Ami! Love these legends! The english ver, I like Kate the best. She has this young but wise vibes to her voice. Karen is good, but her voice is too mature for Ami imo.
Sailor Mercury Voice actors ranked from oldest to youngest
1. Aya Hisakawa (Original)(1968-)
2. Karen Bernstein (DiC and Pioneer)(1969-)
3. Kate Higgins (Viz)(1969-)
4. Hisako Kanemoto (Crystal)(1987-)
5. Liza Balkan (Cwi)(???-)
All these voice actresses are bubbly good
Karen Bernstein is a Sailor Mercury....A very exotic voice.
Liza sounds like a 60 year old woman voicing a 14 year old girl
Karen Berstein the best!
I agree with you, because I grew up with DIC's Sailor Moon
yep Karen is like terri Hawkes perfect
I hope it's a sarcasm.
@@JA268 me too! DIC knew how to make the fans feel it!
@@Blossom44100 Kate Higgins is better for me as not only for her Star-Making Role as Sakura from Naruto but also she sang the freaking Jump Up Superstar from Mario Odyssey
Karen Bernstein
Shows & Movies
1. Amy/Sailor Moon - Sailor Moon R, R Promise Of The Rose, S Hearts In Ice, Super S Black Dream Hole 1995 - 1998
Kate are my favourite, but Karen did a great job as well! In the other hand, Liza wasn't so bad, but her voice sounds like a 30-year woman, not a teenage girl, so unfortunately her voice didn't fit Ami so well.
I just noticed Liza said Mercury Star Power instead of Mercury Crystal....
And her voice makes my ears bleed.
Japanese voices all the way 👍
Liza Balkan didn't that bad?...
You gonna do one for the Dead Moon Circus group?
I was rewatching sailor moon and Ami’s voice sounded sorta like a German accent in the original dub
Kate Higgins, ah is she the voice actress of Sakura Haruno?? From Naruto??
Jess Wd she also did Toph from Legend of Korra
Jess Wd She was also C.C. (Pronounced as C-Two) from Code Geass, Lissa from Fire Emblem Awakening (as well as the spin-off, Fire Emblem Warriors), Talho from Eureka Seven, and will be voicing Subaru from Twin Star Exorcists.
She also sang Super Mario Odyssey's theme, Jump Up Superstar.
@@TMX1138 don't forget Starla from Blaze and the Monster Machines
4:56 WOAH THANK GOD BLUE RAY EXISTS
If you look very closely u can see that on that one of her gloves Is gone then comes back 7:33 on her left hand
Hisako kanemoto also voiced Lucky chloe from tekken. I can't get that out of my mind.
My opinion-
1. Kate Higgins - She can pull off an awesome sweet and tough voice, and just sounds good.
2. Aya - Same reason as Kate.
3. Hisako - I really like the way she sounds, it just seems like such a difference from Aya.
4. Karen - She sounds nice, but sounds a little too weird for Ami.
5. Liza - I don't think she's a bad actor, I just think she was trying too hard to imitate Karen.
12:06 And people say that the old dub had more emotion... yep, totally did. *sarcastic slow applause*
They're talking about DIC numbnuts. Cloverway was a fever dream that never happened. It has far more akin to VIZ.
@@RecoveringChristian DIC had very good voice acting. CWI's voice actors were all on heavy drugs
Karen Bernstein for Sailor Mercury, Katie Higgins could have done more umph and cha for shouting out the attacks like she did Sakura.
Karen Bernstein is the best voice for Sailor Mercury.
I’m tied with Karen and Kate because both sounds good. But I like Karen more because not only the British accent alone but she gave her more knowledgeable and personality while Kate gave her a soft and shy voice. I think I can imagine she fits well in Crystal Version.
I think Liza sounds a little bit old for her.
Aya

Kate Higgins
I remember being a kid and feeling so confused when Liza took over for Karen
I'm friends with Kate on facebook as a matter a fact!
DIC Dub voices all the way, I now I'll get hate for it, but that is what I grew up with and still prefer it. The music for the first 2 dub seasons was way better than the original. Sure it had it's problems with censorship, but it was still the majority of our first encounter with the franchise so there is no way I could hold ill will towards it.
ValonSC U can have any opinion u want. It's stupid when people bash others for something they enjoy n like. Don't care what people think, its yur mind, not theirs
I agree :) DiC REALLY knew how to set the battle atmosphere! It was magical and as censored as it was back then, DiC made the magic behind Sailor Moon seem real :)
I personally prefer the amazing Disco style music from the original, it gets me pumped up knowing sailor moon is gonna take down the enemy, especially Moon Princess Halation
初代が、良すぎる
cool
I guess we're getting redone versions of the Inner Guardians until S's new dub premieres.
According to a Viz panel I went to at Momocon, it's going to be announced soon. We were even shown a clip that you can find on twitch.
They are? Can you post the link to the clip?
Dj D. www.twitch.tv/momocontv3/v/68980045 go to around 1:53:00 and the clip will start a little after that.
"Stick your head in cold water and repent!" ICONIC
Japanese: Both are kawaii
Karen made Ami more bossy 😎
Liza: nope sorry
Kate: came close to original voices
Karen was my favorite
Aya & Karen ❤️
Karen is Adorable. Aya is Amazing. and Katie... Does Anybody have an Academy Award to give Katie? Anybody?
Born the same exact month, day, and year my dad turned 20, and most importantly, the second day of Woodstock.
We can't give Academy Awards for voice over artists no matter how good they are
@@alexanderwillick4521 That’s sucks. But she still deserves it!
Cute
I love Karen Bernstein she a voiced hello kitty
Japanese:both
English:Karen and kate
This is just my personal opinion 😊
Aya Hisakawa looks like sailor mercury/ami
Karen Pulled Ami amazing so well
Wasn't her DiC name established as Amy Anderson?
i think that was just a one off thing during the 3rd season, they all kept their last names
It was, she called her house the Anderson residence in an episode, but it became Mizuno in Clowerway eventually.
Ugh don't even MENTION the DIC dub *gag*
VIZ DUB FOR LIFE!!!!!!!
Agree
Cookie Chan DiC had its moments, the cloverway dub is what makes me gag
uh uh hey-serena-what-do-i-say-to-a-boy-i-dont-care-about i'll miss you, Greg
Aya's is the best voice for Mercury
an anime of the best buenazo............
7:13 - 10:18 Hello Kitty 💙
KAREN ALL THE WAY she has that shy and quiet calm voice that fits mercury so well
14:09 ami
What episode is 11:56
My opinion -
1. Kate - She is my favourite Ami voice and I think she honestly suits Ami more than her Japanese voices do! She's sweet, but she knows when to be serious and brash etc.
2. Aya - She just has such a sweet voice!
3. Hisako - Very similar to Aya, but slightly too deep. I used to prefer her voice, but after comparing them, Aya is definitely the better Ami of the two of them.
4. Karen and Liza - I don't like either of their voices for Ami.
Kate Higgins really does nail Ami to a T. She balances the softer side of Ami, with the intellect and her more confident side. Especially, when Ami is Sailor Mercury. And while I enjoyed both her performances in both series, I do think Crystal was a bit better. Karen; I really do respect the effort and there are times where she nails it, but man she isn't that good.
Something about the direction to which I criticize the DIC dub for. Liza, really is my least favorite. Something about that accent. Though, I do commend Cloverway for using the original Japanese music.
But much as I love Kate Higgins, I do prefer Aya. She's awesome. And will always be my voice for Mercury. Not that Higgins is bad. She's my second choice.
Rebekah Couldn't agree more.
@Sailor Sedna what does Hisako Kanemoto's best known role outside her voice role for Crystal? every generic anime girl? not unlike Hisakawa
@Sailor Sedna not unlike Hisakawa, which she also voices male voices like Kero from CCS and Ray Kon from Beyblade
Ami gives Donatello a boo boo
00:10:39 Surprisingly good joke.
