Day Eighteen- Which Sailor Moon actress matched Usagi’s character the most?

This sort of question is always hard to answer, because I feel all the Moons were so amazining. Marina was so adorable and energetic, Fumina was elegant and really captured Usagi’s more mature side, and Anza was Anza and just so amazing at everything.
But Miyuki is the perfect Usagi for me. I think it’s because she really captured that Usagi is a school girl warrior. She’s young enough to think failing her english test and being unable to go on vacation is just about the worst thing in the world, but she’s old enough to face the real worst things in the world (the possibility of her friends dying, or the literal end of the world), and understand them and overcome them. And Miyuki captures the differences between those moments spectacularly. She’s loud and big and overdramatic when Usagi’s at peace, and she’s more subdued when she’s in turmoil. In both cases she just captures the heart of Usagi’s character so well.
I really wish Miyuki could have done a few musicals that stuck more to anime or manga plots, because I would love to see in in situations we’ve seen more often (especially S/Infinity or Stars). But I’m grateful for the musicals she did do, because she did them wonderfully.
