NEWS: Viz Media Reveals Sailor Moon S Dub Cast

For me personally, I’ve never had to worry about that. I’ve never been offended by fanservice, I’ve never been offended when a woman has a huge chest, I’ve never been offended when she may have…other bigger bodily functions…you know, whatever! I’ve never really paid attention to that honestly. When I get cast for a woman role that means that I’m good for it or that I’m good for the part, and that’s really all that I think about. I’ve never really gotten offended by anything. I mean I speak for myself of course, I can’t speak for the other actresses in the community, but I myself, I’ve never gotten offended. In fact, I felt very fortunate because all of the female characters that I’ve played have been incredibility strong and beautiful and sexy actually, and that, I don’t find anything bad in that at all. I don’t see any negativity in that. So I honestly can’t be offended by that.

As far as fanservice goes, I was in Ikki Tousen, and I played Chubou Sonken, and she is a very innocent character, so she didn’t have a lot of nudity scenes or any fanservicey scenes, but she was a part of fanservice scenes — again, that just did not affect me in any way, but to some other actress it may, I just would like to be considered open minded, and not only that, it really doesn’t affect me in any personal way.

Just need to sum up the announcements in one word.

But seriously, that's quicker than I expected. I don't think part 1 of Sailor Moon R is even released yet.

Lauren probably doesn't have as much of an issue playing a such a character as some other people might.

A 4/4/14 interview with the Organization Anti-Social Geniuses blog called "Q&A: Lauren Landa on Attack on Titan, Voice Acting, and Fanservice" reveals this when asked about anime getting criticized for fan service and its portrayal of women:

Also, I remember at Saboten Con last year, there was a panel with some other VA and she mentioned about wanting to be on Game of Thrones. To this, Ian Sinclair said that she would have to be naked. From that, I believe I remember her giving him a somewhat disgusted look.
