The English cast did a good job, making it easier for me to watch, instead of having to read subtitles. They did add words that were not in the Japanese translation, as well as some swearing. The Japanese cast did a great job too of course.

 

Subtitles: 7

 

The subtitles were a thin yellow font, with a black outline. I had no trouble reading them during the show.

 

Overall: 7.7

 

Beast City had an interesting story, vampires versus demons. There was definitely a lot of comedy and plenty of action. Definitely not a show for children under any circumstances, lots of adult language, nudity, sex and of course fighting.
