Thank you Shudou-san. Everything you contributed to the Pokemon universe stays with me even till this day. The first 3 movies, and the Mewtwo special, are my favorite movies, and those episodes are some of my favorites. They are so memorable that I recognize all the episodes just by their titles! And Lugia has remained as one of my most favorite Pokemon since I first saw it on the big screen in 2000. So thank you for all the work you did. You truly made Pokemon the awesome franchise that it is today.
It's about freaking time they put the movie out. I wonder why they took so long? I have a feeling they were not going to release it, thinking not many people would buy it. I guess they gave in to all the complaints. I myself had complained quite a bit. With all this extra time, maybe they put special features on it like the 8th movie has? I can always hope, I suppose.
