The subtitles on the Chinese version are pretty fast and furious, too. But if that sort of thing doesn't bother you, I'd definitely give it a shot. Seemed like a pretty solid adaptation to me. They kept the humorous aspect that I especially enjoyed from the written version.

I've watched subtitled anime and have found that the trick is to first watch the show/movie paying mostly attention to the subtitles. When I watch it again I find that I remember the subtitles so I can concentrate on what is going on on the screen.
