The Fab 5 juggernaut didn't just bluster through Japan with their American playbook but rather made a conscious effort to understand the culture and help those that fall victim to its rigid conformity. Their kindness and empathy translates seamlessly across the globe and I found this series to be as uplifting and joyful as the US version, if not more so. Japanophiles will love it, Fab fans will love it. As for subtitles, some of the finest films the world has to offer are not in English; give it a little time and it'll be second nature and won't detract from your viewing pleasure at all. Arigato, Queer Eye.
