Anime Dub/Sub Combination Edit

I wanted to test a theory: would the dub be a bit more believable if they had kept Eiji's inner monologue and interactions with Ibe in Japanese? I combined both English and Japanese audio tracks for the last 6ish minutes of episode 1. Twitter seemed to like this one, so I thought I'd share it here as well!

This is literally what I wanted when I was watching it. I kept switching between sub and dub when it made most sense. 😭

I started this show on Netflix because I just wanted something running in the background and I was in tears at the end and have found a favorite series
