Get the most up-to-date subs for this project here.
This release has been on the backburner for quite some time, and here it finally is! We had considered subbing Mewtwo Saga since working on Mewtwo Strikes Back, but interest wasn’t quite as high and not everyone from that project was on board. Still, some of us really wanted to sub it, so we went ahead and got this done. The Random Masters translation is used as a base for all existing subbed releases of Mewtwo Saga, but we thoroughly translation checked it and addressed the many mistranslations the Random Masters release had. In addition, we worked with the version of Mewtwo Saga that’s split into three TV-length episodes. These don’t include the short Mewtwo Strikes Back recap, but they do include new narrator lines, as well as a preview for the Pikachu and Pichu episode of the Johto series.
I started working on this project completely on my own, and I can’t thank bluesun and Puto enough for stepping in and making it worth releasing. Thanks to Licca for providing the raw and pointing me in the direction of the Random Masters translation to use as a base, and thanks to Trıp for being around to QC on short notice. Lastly, a huge thanks to everyone else on staff for their guidance and moral support. All of you guys rock!
Regarding what’s up next, we’ll begin work on Pocket Monsters Movie 23 as soon as we have our hands on the film, and of course, we’ll continue releasing new episodes of Pocket Monsters 2019 as they release. Next week, the show will be off break and we’ll be back to work.

So, umm, is this watchable, story-wise?

Is it HDTV rip? Colors look fantastically vibrant like HD compared to DVD. Did you spliced in HD footage from blu-ray to mewtwo strikes back flashback scene? Btw isn’t the official Japanese title is “Mewtwo LIVES”?

The encode is from Licca, who originally did this as a hybird HDTVxR3TW encode, but, the HDTV elements only were for the sponsor and title cards iirc. The HDTV element will have been from Kids Station, which looks horrible. Much much worse than the DVD.

@random_bigInteger I think it’s a pretty worthwhile follow-up to the first movie. It’s plenty of fun, it has Sakaki being an evil bastard, and it has Mitsuishi Kotono. It also has Hayashibara Megumi yelling “FLY ME TO THE MOOOOOOON” which is pretty awesome.

Can you guys please make a 576p/720p rip of complete Mewtwo Saga? There’s legit looking HD WEBDL on animebytes (but 1080p is probably upscale) https://animebytes.tv/torrents.php?id=3930&torrentid=909892 it is dual audio, but only lacks original JP OP & ED. Here’s visual comparison between this and HD: https://imgsli.com/NjE2OTA
