Overall, the series did a fantastic job at bringing back memories from the original, but I don't know if I recommend it to anyone who isn't already familiar with the 80's anime or manga. Its purpose of being a "best hits" is definitely achieved and it's much more tame than the first handful of episodes from the original, but the fast pacing really drags the series down in my opinion. Regardless, it achieved its sole purpose and it was enjoyable to rewatch UY in a new style and with a few new episodes. If you're a fan of the original, you'll probably be a fanof the remake.
