* AmateurCast: The anime's English dub was one of the first uncut anime dubs to use union voice actors (though it was a non-union project until partway through the second OVA). As a result most of the original cast were theater actors who hadn't had much voice acting experience beforehand, (the notable exceptions being Jennifer Darling, Ellen Gerstell, and Sherry Lynn; all of whom had prior experience in western animation productions) and they had no dub roles at all until that point. Most of them didn't have much success afterward. (Debi Derryberry is a notable exception, though she's more well known for her western animation and video game roles.)
