I recommend watching the original Japanese dubbed version with English subtitles. At that time translation was rough in most anime but this has since then improved.
(For German readers I recommend the German sub, the used the same people who dubbed the Stargate series which did a really good job in both cases.)
- malvosenior 7y agoJust a nit pick but the original Japanese version isn’t a dub, it’s the original audio. I totally agree it’s the best version though. That being said the English dub is pretty good too.

- wayoutthere 7y agoThe voices may not have been recorded, but the script is almost certainly better in Japanese. The English dub is a static script, but the fan-created subtitles are usually a much better translation than the official ones from that era.
- idle_zealot 7y agoI agree completely.
- westpfelia 7y agoThe English version is really good. A lot of work went into it when it came over to Adult Swim.
