"The Mastermind of Mirage Pokemon" (A 10th anniversary Pokemon special that was originally dubbed into English and now is released in Japanese.) is now available on-line! Now you can see the controversial special with the Japanese voice actors reprising their roles!
WATCH IT WHILE IT LASTS! WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THEY'RE KEEPING IT ON THE SITE!
OF COURSE IT'S "RAW" JAPANESE! (No Subtitles)
Only for viewing purposes not downloading.To view the episode/special: * Go to the Ani-Tele site
here. * Click on the big red button that says 動画をする
* After this, a screen will pop up asking you some questions. The first question asks you which area of Japan you live in...just use the drop-down menu to pick any prefecture. The next question asks your age, so enter that number into the box. The final question asks you if you're a male or female...the choice on the left means male (男性), and the choice on the right means female (女性). After answering these three questions, click on the button at the bottom and, after a few commercials, the special will start in whatever media player you have set up as the default.
Observations about the Japanese version so far:
- The title is
"The Terrifying Mirage Pokemon"- The script has a few slight differences.
- The opening theme for the Kids' WB! airing is used, complete with English title screen
- Mirage Master is now called "Mister Mirage" XD
- Haruka's line after she rescues Kasumi (the "I guess I can be useful too" or whatever) is pretty much the same in both versions.
- How many times does Doctor Yung/Mister Mirage say sasuga?
- Doctor Yung's VA is 木内秀信 (Ki'uchi Hidenobu).
