We have a thread highlighting bad changes to the anime, but what about good? And when I say changes here people, I'm not even just talking about "the writers did this" sort of stuff. Was there anything the dub actually did that you didn't mind? Even as a hardcore lover of the Japanese version, I'll even admit there were times I liked what the dub did better (or thought they made a much smarter move with the situation). So? Any takers?
For me, I have to mention the first mini movie. Back when this sucker hit theaters, original fans threw fits with the main feature (and for good reason), but I honestly never got the complaining over the mini movie. Sure if you saw the Japanese version you were accustomed to it, but come on now. Lets be honest. If you simply translated the dialogue of this short and showed it to some American ten-year-olds, do you really think they would've found it "cool"? A nice kind lady going "Hang in there!" and the music being sung by children and older people? Please, get real. Even as much as I love the childish Japanese music, I'm not going to lie. At the end of the day, Vitamin C just sounds WAY better and much less idiotic. Especially to a young American child...
Another change I liked (though it technically DID NOT need to be done) was the second movie theme. Yes they rewrote Lugia's song, but truthfully? I actually find myself loving the dub song much more. No the original doesn't suck, but I don't care. I'm not going to lie just to support "the flawless original". ._.
