Pokemon Getto da ze! (Updated!)

So thanks to the wonderful people at [livejournal.com profile] pokemon for helping me find a Japanese sub of Mewtwo Returns. I'm watching it right now, and here are my impressions so far:
  • Holy crap, six minutes of playing scenes from the first movie...
  • I prefer Dan Green to Mewtwo's Japanese actor. But that's because it's DAN GREEN!
  • Giovanni's voice actor... he sounds pretty good, but I enjoy listening to him played by Ted Lewis/Ed Paul more. Sexy voice... :3
  • Japanese Narrator kick the dub's ass.
  • Also, Domino is voiced by Usagi Tsukino's VA. AKA MOTHEREFFIN SAILOR MOON. So, Domino=Sailor Moon?
Now anytime I write Domino, she's going to sound like SM in my head... *bonus points for making an "I will punish you" line in some fic later...*
Which is actually kind of awesome.
Man, throw back to my childhood much?

Also, I can't be the only one who has noticed that Dan Green and Ted Lewis have played opposite of each other in at least two anime dubs. Here, it's Mewtwo/Giovanni, and in Yu-Gi-Oh, it's Yugi/Yami-Yugi and Bakura/Yami-Bakura.
Which makes it funny if you take clips of them talking to each other and put it in the opposite anime... (don't laugh, it's been done)
And whenever they do, the awesome quotient explodes.

And so far into part one, while the dub was pretty cool, the Japanese s kind of kicking it's ass. :-/
Update: Now that I finished the movie, I have concluded that the original is, for the most part, superior to the dub. The voice acting, the MUSIC (Oh my bob, the music is killer!), and the overall feel...
Hell, Domino actually came across as badass here, even with the SM voice XD (she just seemed kind of 'meh' to me before O_o)
But the Japanese don't have Dan Green or Ed Paul, so I must only give it a 9/10.... :/

Also, since today was  the last day for the special, I went ahead and bought FRLG at GS when I was putting more money down on HGSS.
Man, now I am broke...
But it's worth it &hearts

Update 2: I FOUND MY DS! =D It was hiding in my room :-/ But now I can play FRLG!

Also, I updated my links so you can watch the Japanese Pokemon episodes. This makes me beyond happy to watch the originals. &hearts &hearts

I want the soundtrack so bad...
