Animation absolutely beautiful even after all those years. In contrast, protagonist Isamu Dyson is a pretty one-dimensional, annoying grandstander making it painful to watch the show with sound on. I prefer using it as soundless projection when we're having a party. It's a bit of a shame, of course, but Isamu reminded me a lot of Yusuke from YU YU HAKUSHO, you know that guy who looks like Elvis Presley but is also the strongest guy ever and not shy to brag about it. Compare those two to a truly epic character like Vash the Stampede from Trigun who is funny and humble and has a real inner conflict. Not as well animated but well enough for my taste - and you can leave the sound on with that one. Actually, if you ever get around to watching Trigun you absolutely should leave the sound on.
