For what its worth, dub for the original series is actually quite good for its time, and I think holds up surprisingly well for a dub from before anime took off in the West for a show that was never going to be aired (aka home video only). Even kept the nudity intact.
But from what I've seen the Japanese version of the remake is also censored to hell all over. From erased barbie chests to adding more clothes to random costumes.
Probably the only thing this remake will have of any value is actually adapting the second half of the manga, that the original series ended before reaching. But that might take years at the rate they seem to be going (and its the worst half anyway).
Is there only ONE version of the series on Japan as they might have an uncensored version available like they did for Gushing over magical Girls?
Blu-ray might end up with things like the nipples put back on, as they look lazily brushed off, but the full costume changes I can't imagine being different.
