While waiting for the new Winnie the Pooh film to start, I got a pleasant surprise within the before film commercials. I heard the movie voice announcer say Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated was up next!

I don’t make it a part of my typical routine to look at Sket Dance, but when I heard Gackt was going to grace the show’s 15th episode with his melodious voice, I made sure to check it out. When reading up on the role that Gackt was to play, I found out that the character is actually an homage to Gackt in his Malice Mizer days.
For those who don’t know Gackt’s history, Malice Mizer was a goth/visual-kei band during the 90s. The image currently associated with Gackt is somewhat far from that gothic period in his career. Although, he is still as eccentric as ever, which is why he was more than happy to voice a parody of himself.

I will start this off with a disclaimer. If you are a major fan of the Pretty Cure franchise or children’s toys in general all these observations will be incredibly obvious to you. It will be like me letting you in on the secret that the sun rises in the east and then sets in the west. But for everyone else this might be interesting.
