Critical reception
The dub has received generally mixed-to-positive reactions from critics and audiences alike, being praised for its voice cast and remaining faithful to the original scripts, but criticized as well for bowdlerizing and editing some elements to be suitable for American audiences, especially since rules for television animation in Japan are more relaxed than the United States.
