Be warned, if you're going to turn on full captions, prepare for LOTS of reading (and pausing), as per the usual SHAFT craziness. Well, the signs are usually pointless, so minimal captions may be best. Up to you. |

| I think the dubs are superior. The Japanese voice actors are more subtle with their delivery of the gags. To me the English version, though great, is too straightforward at times in the delivery. Some things just do not translate very well and that messes with the timing. Since this series relies heavily on timing, I strongly recommend the original Japanese. |

You seem to state one thing, then say the exact opposite in more detail later. Anyway, I got the boxset, so I'll be watching it soon. From what I've seen (courtesy of Oyasumi and qq), this show is brilliant. |

It sounded like the English voice actors gave everyone way more character than the Japanese did. |
