I wish they would have held off a bit, Super is ending in 4 eps and it seems bizarre for a recast now when there's going to be no new show for at least a year.

Like yesterday there was an advert, Bulma will more than likely be in the last episode plus then there is a movie out this year.

It's not really bizzare at all.

Quite a good replacement from what I've heard.

Lol, Dragon Ball ultra it says in the "translation" in that twitter post.

You don't know if the break is a year. Nobody knows how long it'll be.

God, more characters receiving new VAs (RIP Tsuru). :( I'm yet to see what Toei does to the Son family voiced by Masako Nozawa. Masako is far too important for Gokû, Gohan and Goten to simply replace with a new VA so they might as well just leave them in the past as 'legacy characters of Dragon Ball Z.'

Yes, it's important to list sources when making definitive statements.

Sailor Mercury is the new Bulma. That sounds fair, both have blueish hair.

May Ms Hisakawa live up to Ms Tsuru's legacy well.

There's a certain way of speaking that Bulma has that I've heard in similar era female anime characters (I've actually thought whoever voiced 90's Sailor Mars sounded the closest, but I think she's retired) so it makes sense to pull from that age group.
Wikipedia says Michie is still active, but I couldn't agree more with you. Bulma and Mars even shared voice actresses in the Brazilian and European Portuguese dubs of DB and SM.

Since the original commercial went down, here's a Youtube mirror

On hearing that clip, Hisakawa needs a bit of work to maintain the high-class pitch for Bulma IMO, but otherwise she works out.

The show must go on. I for one am perfectly okay with Bulma and Keroberos from Cardcaptor Sakura having the same voice.
