Pokemon: Mewtwo Strikes Back (!) - Original Theatrical Version (Released) — Page 2

Author

The R2 DVD has:

* Japanese 5.1 and 2.0 DD
* English 5.1 and 2.0 DD (essentially the dub mix with the original title card music)
* English captions (dubtitles)
* Japanese subtitles for the English dub (!)

Credits are in Japanese. (Actually the ending of the OGM is DVD-sourced, as the HK lacked it!)

Along with the added CG the Mewtwo origin was tacked onto the beginning of the movie. (The full version of this is ALSO available on the "Mewtwo Returns" Region 1 DVD, in English only.)

Can anyone post this somewhere like megaupload or as a torrent? The current torrent is dead. I've been looking for an unedited version of Mewtwo Strikes Back everywhere. Thanks!

Now that I have the laserdisc I should really redo it, but I'm kind-of holding out until I can find someone to do a new translation (...other people get very mad when I use their subs!)

This is some awesome stuff. What's the laserdisc like?

AFAICT, it's 2 sides CLV for the movie, with the Pikachu's Summer Vacation short along with it, and some interview.  Reasonable quality, although my initial rip was a bit too colorful when compared against the more subdued tones of the R2.

Some news on my front.

I'm not familiar with the deal of capping on Windows or with heavy cleanup filters, but I have a raw unfiltered lossless rip of the second half of the movie that's in reasonably good shape, albeit very, very noisy.  I'm going to still see what I can do.  For some reason I lose a lot more frames capping the front of the disc.

Also, lol msmooth.

I actually have the original 2D version of Mewtwo Strikes Back that I found some time ago on this Japanese video site called Youku. The quality is kind of low (possibly VHS) and there are Japanese subtitles in the video, but it's definitely the original version.

^Care to share this? It's been awhile since I watched the original and my sub copy seems to have disappeared...

A lot of people have been badgering me for this, so I'm going to try to read a cap I have here and upload...

I'll try to have a torrent of my raw cap up somewhere this evening.  Probably Nyaa.

It's up on Nyaa.

Would it be possible to re-up this? The Nyaa torrent is dead. I'm not exactly the biggest Pokémon anime fan, but I kinda liked this first one and having the original cut in good quality for posterity would be nice.

So, a new book came out and we learned so much, and it is called, “Anguilosaurus, Killer of the Living”.

What is Nyaa?  Never heard of it before.

Thanks

NyaaTorrents, it's a torrent portal/tracker.  I use it to promote most of my anime releases and because their tracker is semi-open, a good way to release fansubs and such.

Hey, thanks a ton for reseeding it! This is gonna be great.

This looks really awesome!! So, if I downloaded this and wanted to add in some subtitles myself, where could I find some? I assume you need .srt files, but I have no idea where you’d find them for something like this, and my google searches don’t turn up anything promising… If someone could point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it… Thanks

I am not aware of any competent fansubs. 😦

Kinda impressed the Japanese DVD gives you the English audio at all, I’m sure it’s simply a novelty, but nice to think there might’ve been a fan or two over there that may have wondered what their favorite characters sounded like in another language.

I think the English audio was included so they could offer the rescoring. 😛

Actually… Did RyuuRogue sub mov.1? Their subs are usually good.

I guess. Wasn’t a fan of the music personally (having watched the Japanese version first thanks to connections).

The torrent I released some time ago on Nyaa was a simple laserdisc capture.

I’d like to see if a 35 print might show up in Japan. There’s been rumors, but nothing concrete.
