This thing is barely a slideshow, and it might actually be stronger for it. The amount of background gags and non sequiturs they snuck into these three episodes is astronomical. Is it as good as the remake? Absolutely not, its too short to adapt much of the manga, and this lack of time means that the adaptation cannot delve as deep into Lucius's imposter syndrome and despair, and cannot spend as much time legitimately teaching the audience about Japanese bath houses and bathing culture. In general I don't care about the sub vs dub debate, they're cartoons, so it generally doesn't matter. But in this case,David Wald is firing on all cylinders, treat yourself, no preening about "artistic integrity" and "how it was supposed to be seen", watch the English dub. Be floored by the majesty of a true Roman.
