I will admit that I have always loved Pom Poko and I recently just bought the Blu-Ray of it because I enjoyed it so much. But when I watched the Japanese Blu-Ray version of it, I noticed that something was off with the English subtitles. It had the subtitles, but they only showed the subtitles for the English version of the movie. They didn't have the subtitles for the Japanese version. The subs were literally just the same lines from the English dub version of the movie.
I knew this also because I had seen the movie on DVD and the DVD version has the subtitles translated from the Japanese version. Now I'm not saying that I hate the movie because it's one of my favorite Ghibli movies, but seriously Disney? You guys could at least have the subtitles for the Japanese version instead of just for the English version. Ironically though, the DVD that comes with the Blu-Ray combo pack still has the subtitles for the Japanese version intact including all of the references and the references to their testicles. So I can technically watch it with the original Japanese subtitles, but only on the DVD version because Disney was too lazy to put it on the Blu-Ray version as well.
No Japanese translated subtitles.
