The Japanese version is better!, 28 December 1998
Author: Jenova Synthesis from Black Crater

I seen both the International and Asian versions of this.If you do NOT want Ramond Burr's preaching nor Dr. Pepper lovin' hicks, stick to the original Japanese version.I personally like the original version myself.
