Originally one of the best television series of all time, unfortunately this re-translation butchers the carefully-chosen wording of the original English dub. The voice actors did their best but this translation is much more confusing and disjointed than it needs to be, which greatly lessens the experience compared to the original dub and sub. I would do what you can do get a copy of the first English dub or sub instead of sinking money into this one.

Five stars with a caveat. This is the Netflix dub version so if you want the original version you have to buy the physical media Collectorvs Edition version. So it depends on how important the voice acting is to you.
