Gundam Wing first-timer questions

So, on recommendation, I'm watching the 1995 Gundam Wing series and... wow, I kind of get it. There's a lot to love here, but there's a lot of quirks too.

I'm about a dozen or so episodes in and the dub is... rough. Performances are okay, but the plot and pacing are kind of wild and move along in fits and starts. I'm also 80% sure a lot is being lost in translation here, as the themes around self-sacrifice, rebellion, and "pacifism" don't exactly line up with the dialogue.

So the questions I have here are:

  • Is it worth slogging through the rest of this series?
  • Does the translation, or anything else, get better? Worse?
  • What's the next series to stream after this?

Also, Oz really needs to invest in less-explosion-prone mobile suit tech.
