Neighborhood Anime Assessment of Pocket Monsters
(ANB Word: This collection was initially reviewed on 29-June-2003.)
CAR Word: The evaluate under is from having seen this within the bastardized English model. I’ve now seen a couple of episodes in Japanese and I believe that the Japanese model is extra clever (think about that) and the names are totally different (Misty is definitely Kasumi). Nevertheless, except you perceive Japanese and may import these DVD’s, it’s unimaginable to get an correct translation within the states as 4Kids won’t enable it (as I perceive it).
(ANB Word: As I now perceive issues, it was Nintendo that determined to rename the characters for the West.)
Authentic Assessment w/ Edits
Since I’ve seen WAY too many episodes of Pokemon, I figured I’d write a evaluate. (I’ve not watched all of them.) It is a child’s present and as such is written for teenagers. Primarily based off of the cardboard recreation of the identical identify, Ash (Satoshi) is a boy who desires to be the most effective pocket monster coach ever. He quickly acquires the KAWAII Pikachu who received’t go into the storage ball, so rides on Satoshi’s shoulder. As he travels, he meets Misty (Kasumi) and one other man who staff up with him.
Opposing him are Staff Rocket with Jesse (Musashi, voiced by HAYASHIBARA Megumi, who additionally does the voice of Lina Inverse, feminine Ranma, and lots of extra iconic characters) and James (Kojirou), who need Pikachu.
It has been some time since I noticed something new so I’ve no thought if that’s nonetheless true or not. (As I look, I could have solely watched the primary season.)
Backside line: youngsters will like it however that’s about it. It’s watchable if you wish to watch it along with your youngsters, simply make sure that to have your backup intelligence circuits on standby! 😜
Replace (24-Aug-2008):
I managed to catch the first six episodes, unedited and in Japanese. ‘Twas an eye-opening expertise. Heck, I even laughed in the course of the first episode and chuckled within the 2nd one, one thing I by no means did for the 4Kids model. I’ve additionally seen the banned episode Dennou Senshi Porygon (click on hyperlink for my evaluate) and one different. (I believe it was the swimsuit episode.) If I get an opportunity, I’ll watch some extra of the Japanese present as a result of it truly holds a little bit of curiosity to me. (However solely a bit.)
