Anime Herald: In fairness, I have to ask the questions I asked Natsuki Hanae (the Japanese voice actor for Okarun). If you were throwing a party, who would you rather invite: ghosts or aliens?

Aleks Le: So, I would say “aliens.”AJ Beckles: Yeah, I think Aliens is a good answer. Aleks Le: But, ghosts have the ability to turn the lights on and off. AJ Beckles: True.

1 month ago | animeherald.com | Seth Burn

There was a wide range of ages in attendance at the recent Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: The Super Live show at the New York’s Palladium Times Square theatre. While plenty of younger Sailor Moon fans were in attendance, there were also many fans who were there back in the mid-‘90s, when DiC’s adaptation of the anime classic aired on North American television. For me, it was pure nostalgia.
