So, how's about that dub, huh? It's just...so glorious...

It's 36 episodes in, and I found it more entertaining than the whole first season in Japanese.

Tons of voices fit like a glove, and those that don't quite reach that level manage to hit the right marks over time. The dialogue itself seems a whole lot sharper and more witty than other dubs I've heard from Funimation. That and it's very well acted.

It also downplays the swearing compared to other Funi dubs that are chock full of profanity. But that's far from a flaw. In fact, it makes the dub even better! They reserve the swearing for the more serious moments of the show, which makes them all the more poignant. Dubs that don't just show us anime in English and rather enhance the experience, such as this, really deserve special mention.

It's just a shame that there are still people who can't draw that from this dub, instead considering it "just another dub that will forever be inferior to a language very few of us actually speak and appreciate."
