Very interesting album for Otaku who understand the Japanese

"This is a very unusual album. This CD features a whole movie without videos -- it reproduces the exaxct dialogues, sound and musics of the movie as the story develops.To appreciate the CD, one is requested to understand some Japanese.For those Otaku who understand the language,and memorize the whole story and dialogue par coeur, the CD is interesting.The dialogue of the movie is especially popular among many Japanese as there are many cool dialogues in the movie. The dialogue of the movie is very fascinating but you may well see it as it is said that the rehersal for the dailogue is very hard and the Seiyus of the movie are from the finest Seiyus at that time.In Japan, seiyu is considered a specified purpose-built occupation. So you may well expect the high quality of the dialogue of the movie. On the contrary, many dubs of the movies outside Japan are carried out by the amateur actors and actress.That explains why many consider the dialogue quality of the region code 1 (US) is inferior to that of the region 2 (Japan)."
