Kirsten was just effortlessly excellent playing those villainous diva roles. I love the imperiousness she brought to Emerald. But Rena was an excellent choice for the new dub. She definitely sounded snotty and high-maintenance, and as wonderfully over-the-top as Esmeraude was.
Personally, I really liked Esmeraude as a villain. She could both really ridiculous and really competent at the same time, in m opinion, I think her stepping into the fray was the point when the series really began to build in quality, (while Nephrite's appearance did do some help make the series more interesting, it was hampered by the memory reset by the end of season 1 and having to endure a filler arc and the Mamoru 17 episode long breakup). It does help that she turned into a cool Dragon of all things, which always helps to make her more memorable. I wonder what would have happened if Sailor Moon ever brought this up with the Outer Sailors. Sailor Uranus: We're stronger than all of you combined! Sailor Moon: I killed a dragon. Sailor Uranus:....
I mean, she didn't have to, she one-shot both Uranus and Neptune when they challenged her at the end of S, and forced them to acknowledge her as Neo-Queen Serenity
both Kirsten (RIP)and Rena could go either way they both have that laugh that people might find annoying however Kristen made her sound more mature and Rena made her sound younger and hotter but they both nailed it as Emerald/Esmuralde so gotta give them both credit
This was the late Kirsten Bishopric's first true female villain role of the DiC dub version of Sailor Moon as Zoicite was male in the raw version. Rena Strober's photo looks like a painting from the renaissance era, but she killed that laughter part of Esmerald perfectly in the Viz dub!
Happy Birthday and R.I.P. Kirsten Bishop. U R beautiful. Great Villain. U will be remember. I believe in u, and I love Sailor Moon. It was my childhood. May the Peace be with u Kirsten Bishop. From Harlingen Texas. September 6, 1963 - April 15, 2014 September 6, 2023 through September 6, 3023
Both Japanese voice actresses for Esmeraude/Emerald did a amazing job as her in the Japanese version and the crystal versions of sailor moon, from the dic dub version,Kristen bishop did a great job too as emerald,I didn't know that she passed away.(r.i.p.) even though the 90's dub was cheesy,she really did a amazing job. rena strober was great as emerald/esmeraude too in the viz dub of sailor moon. I loved her laugh too. emerald is my second favorite villain character of the second season of sailor moon. she's both silly and serious at the same time.
Vampire Unicorn yeah,she's my second favorite villain character of the second season of sailor moon,the first being the four ayakashi sisters. I really liked that part when emerald was stuffing her face with cakes.
Kristen made the absolute best Emerald. She embodies the perfect sort of imperfect villain. Her voice is sassy, annoying, funny, evil, all at the same time.
Rena did a great job but she sounds a tad bit young,Kirsten was great too and sounded more mature which I think suits the character better,I think her voice could have also worked for Queen Beryl or Petz in the Dic Dub. Its really close but I think I gotta give this one to Dic
I would vote for voice actress Rena Strober because of her evil laugh of this character and of course, a woman who has beautiful red hair and clear eyes. 😮🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡👩🏻🦰😍
both Kirsten & Rena were awesome but I agree that Kirsten made her sound more mature while Rena made her sound young but other than that I say they both did great as Emerald/Esmeraude
OK in the original Sailor Moon I think they did the characters better but in Crystal I think they did the story better like if they put the character development in Crystal I would like it more. I also wish they kept a funky soundtrack for Crystal because I think that’s a staple for Sailor Moon. I miss the funky disco/city pop music!
Happy Birthday Rena Strober. Your a beautiful singer. Also. Sailor Moon Crystal and Pokemon Diamond & Pearl is awesome. Love it. Your beautiful. May the Peace be with u Rena Strober. From Harlingen Texas. March 24, 1976 March 24, 2022 through March 24, 3022
The super disturbing part about Rena Strober's version is that I can clearly recognize Azura from Fire Emblem... But at the same time she sounds like a completely different person! I love her, amazing, underrated VA.
DarkAvenga I say both Kristen Bishop and Rena Strober are equal. There's no need to favor one over the other as long as they are both doing the character absolute justice as well as honoring and paying respect to the original Japanese version while making the characters their own. Abd the best thing about voicing a character like Green Esmeraude in season two.... *NO CONTROVERSIAL GENDER-SWAPPING OR CENSORING GAY CHARACTERS!!!!*

Kirsten nailed it: she was mature sounding, sultry, goofy, and her laugh was over the top.
Kristen did a great Zoisite and Emerald. Love her laugh lol RIP QUEEN
RIP Kristen
Rest in Peace
But Rena got the Laugh right
@@williamlong5428 that too yes
Kristen Bishop was 51 when she died. R.I.P.

They are all so brilliant!
Emerald (or Esmeraude) is one character where all the voices are (IMO) perfect.
+Fulgore2005 I agree there is not one voice that sounds bad
Fulgore2005 Agreed.
Kristen Bishop, you rock.....you will be missed......you'll always live on forever.

+Ryan Hightower But out of the two I prefer Kirsten
I like all the voices (rare occurrence)
Rena Strober’s ojou-sama laugh is GLORIOUS.

Rena Strober bored me
@@susanstorm7910 Sorry to hear you have no taste.
@@mahmamia5100 Kirsten has more talent than all of the viz dub cast ty gn
Now now, let's not get salty people. Both actresses were excellent in their roles as Esmerald/Emerald.
@@abelblue7301 you’re correct

My Top 2 Green Esmeraude/Emerald’s English Voice Actresses
1. Rena Strober
2. Kristen Bishop (R.I.P.)
Rena and Kirsten both did great jobs!
Both Japanese voice actresses for Esmeraude/Emerald did a amazing job as her in the Japanese version and the crystal versions of sailor moon, from the dic dub version,Kristen bishop did a great job too as emerald,I didn't know that she passed away.(r.i.p.) even though the 90's dub was cheesy,she really did a amazing job. rena strober was great as emerald/esmeraude too in the viz dub of sailor moon. I loved her laugh too. emerald is my second favorite villain character of the second season of sailor moon. she's both silly and serious at the same time.
Yeah, Esmeraude is a riot no matter which of those ladies voiced her. ^^
Vampire Unicorn yeah,she's my second favorite villain character of the second season of sailor moon,the first being the four ayakashi sisters. I really liked that part when emerald was stuffing her face with cakes.
Watch over Rena Strober from heaven, Kristen Bishop.
Kristen's ojou-sama laugh was flawless.
Oh I didn't know Mami Koyama played her! She also plays Vermouth in Detective Conan. So that's two beautiful villain characters she plays/played.
Esmeraude is one of my favorite Sailor Moon R characters!! Also, her first Japanese voice actress is also the voice of Launch(Lunch) in Dragon Ball!!
And also Minky Momo
She was Queen Serenity in Crystal and Arale in Dr Slump and the Dragon Ball series.
Kristen made the absolute best Emerald. She embodies the perfect sort of imperfect villain. Her voice is sassy, annoying, funny, evil, all at the same time.
Rena Strober’s voice is very very good.
All of them were wonderful in their own way.^^
I really love ALL of Viz's voices for the redub, but I think both Kirsten's and Rena's take on Emerald/Esmeraude are both excellent renditions
Me too, except for Kirsten, because of the dic voice direction.
Suzanne Goldish assembled a wonderful voice cast.
Mami Koyama is one of seiyuu veterans, i love her role as Esmeraude
I absolutely love Rena's take on Esmerald.
Shallots33 But I say Kristen Bishop's Esmeraude is as equally good as Rena's portrayal of the character.
Kristen is leagues better.
I can’t stand it. Kirsten killed it
no lies Kirsten Bishop and Rena Strober was really able to imitate Mami Koyama laugh
I'm like how eventually all the VAs got that laugh down pat
7:15 Rena Strober fits her perfectly.
Rena did a great job but she sounds a tad bit young,Kirsten was great too and sounded more mature which I think suits the character better,I think her voice could have also worked for Queen Beryl or Petz in the Dic Dub. Its really close but I think I gotta give this one to Dic
I like rena take and it sounds more seductive.
I kinda prefer the Kirsten dub, it had the dismissive, sassy auntie feel to it.
All of them had a flawless performance
Esmeraude Voice actors ranked from oldest to youngest
1. Mami Koyama (Original)(1955-)
2. Kristen Bishop (DiC)(1963-2014) RIP
3. Houko Kuwashima (Crystal)(1973-)
4. Rena Strober (Viz)(1976-)
Mami's Ohoho is the most iconic OhohinI ever heard
I would vote for voice actress Rena Strober because of her evil laugh of this character and of course, a woman who has beautiful red hair and clear eyes. 😮🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡👩🏻🦰😍
Mami and Kristen nailed it with that ear splitting laugh of their's. Became the iconic "Stuck up anime girl laugh."
both Kirsten & Rena were awesome but I agree that Kirsten made her sound more mature while Rena made her sound young but other than that I say they both did great as Emerald/Esmeraude
to be fair, she was a bit immature but i love both
Azura's gone evil :O
OK in the original Sailor Moon I think they did the characters better but in Crystal I think they did the story better like if they put the character development in Crystal I would like it more. I also wish they kept a funky soundtrack for Crystal because I think that’s a staple for Sailor Moon. I miss the funky disco/city pop music!

In Sailor Moon The Dic Version voice actor Kirsten Bishopric was also the voice of Zoisite and Emerald
The actress in the Latin American dub, Vicky Burgoa, landed the original cadence perfectly.
Ojou-laughing Azura FTW
The super disturbing part about Rena Strober's version is that I can clearly recognize Azura from Fire Emblem... But at the same time she sounds like a completely different person! I love her, amazing, underrated VA.
That and a great singer as well.
Kirsten 🥺
Houko Kuwashima (voice of Esmeraude in Crystal) did the voices of Yuki Mori and Yurisha Iscandar in Space Battleship Yamato 2199.

Kirsten Bishopric is great at being Emerald.Bring her back at Sailor Moon Crystal.
She's Dead. She died from Cancer 7 Years ago.
She passed away a few months before it even premiered.
@@荒巻正男 sadness
Houko also voices medusa in soul eater.
1:32 5:56 8:48 which one is the best laugh?
Third
Kirsten delivered middle aged cougar with a light smoking habit. She was the best!!
Rubeus, Esmeraude/Emerald and Dimande/Diamond failed to realize they were ALL pawns in Wiseman's devious plot.
Can you please do Sailor Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn? :) Or are you waiting for the Viz Media castings to be revealed?
+Flareboxx Their Viz voices have already been revealed, but yeah I'm still waiting until they start releasing their dub of Sailor Moon S
I'm also waiting until season 3 of Sailor Moon Crystal starts streaming so their Crystal voices can be in it too
Ok awesome! Thanks for the update!
+Flareboxx There's no point in waiting, Viz's outer voices will be better than pioneer/cloverways, unless they'll be undoubtedly bad, which I doubt.
Both Japanese are Great 😍
Kirsten is the legend. RIP
0:38 5:17 7:52
5:42/5:43 is my fave part
Esmeraude = Azura as a jerk
Mami koyama, btw she is arale chan and big mom
Rena Strober for Emerald, who did she voice in Fire Emblem Fates?
Renaさんの方がオリジナル版の演技に近くて自然ですね(^.^)
Rena 100%
Rena Strober
Do you have Sailor Uranus Sailor Neptune Sailor Saturn Professor Tomoi Kayoritnight the Witches Five and the Super S series
No, not yet, I'm afraid. I can't do any of the characters from S and SuperS until Viz starts releasing the dubs of those seasons.
Can you do The Amazon Trio and Amazoness Quaret Voice Comparisons?
mami koyama wins ....
Kristen
I put the dic/Cloverway dub as non-canon.

She’s supposed to have an annoying laugh
