The entire series is only 46 episodes long (45 in some dubs I've seen the Arabic and Spanish ones), which means only a dozen new episodes total. This is unlike the original, which could have had no dialogue whatsoever and still been pretty much understood (except for a hilarious backhand smack that NEEDED dialog for effect, but I digress). If you can get a dub or sub, do it, since the dialogue is actually pretty important.

Now, from episode 35 on is pure bliss, because the character development of this fantastic newcomer, Shingo Aoi, is well done. If you're new to the anime, watch the whole thing, and if you want more detail, go to the corresponding episodes in the original. For those who've seen the original, you can pretty much skip to episode 35, since the first 33 are recaps and episode 34 is quickly summed up in the first few minutes of 35. Overall 8 Story 8 Animation 7 Sound 6 Character 10 Enjoyment 8 Made in the mid 90's, this anime is fun to watch, just like the original.
