Watching BES With Japanese Audio Is A Nostalgic Treat

After reading some comments here about the experience of watching BES with the Japanese soundtrack option, I just tried it, and it is such a nostalgic treat for me!

Sad to say, I never did learn Japanese despite my mother being of 100% Japanese ancestry. So when we went to samurai movies, I learned to read the English subtitles really quickly. I think the experience actually helped me with reading assignments and essay tests in school.

It's so wonderful to hear Japanese while watching BES, it's almost like another movie - not better, but just as good. It sort of makes it more "authentic". I'm even replicating the experience of speed reading English subtitles!

For those who have watched BES with the Japanese audio option, what are your feelings & opinions of the experience? Someone mentioned that Mizu's Japanese voice does a better job of masking her true gender than the original English, but I don't think it's all that much of a difference. Nectarines versus peaches .
