It's not the usual thing that we see posted into discussion threads, but it's totally acceptable!

Now personally, I don't like it. The singing is not to my taste and doesn't keep the pace of the original (not that I blame him for that, but when some songs are too fast it's also acceptable to use a slower version of the instrumentals rather than just singing awkwardly around it.) I understand if neither of the people singing in it are professionals, but since you did ask what I thought of it that's my opinion on the quality of the singing XD I couldn't listen to it the whole way through.

The lyrics are atrociously unfaithful to the original song, almost every single line is unrecognizable from the lyrics in Japanese, and adds TONS of details and dialogue that did not exist in the original as filler.

In the original we don't know what her father did, how he was killed by the machines, what the machines in the factory did, what exactly the other personality was, or what was in the injection that they gave her, among other things, yet for the sake of filler the dubber has made assumptions on all of these things. There's plenty of other filler words and dialogue on there too.

That's not to even get into how it stripped the song of pretty much all of its color and "switch" symbolism, as well as the wordplay, without adequately replacing it with the lines.

I can tell a lot of effort went into this dub, though, so I'm going to give it a 3/10.
