Yes you can.

Whether you would want to, however, is another matter.

I don’t think there’s an “official” English version, but there are bootleg versions with fan-written subtitles floating around. If you go to a shop specializing in Anime (Man from Atlantis in Harvard Square, if you’re in the Boston area, for example), they may have copies available for sale or rent.

Urotsukidoji?

You sure can buy it–the legal R1 release too. The best way would be Central Park Media’s Perfect Collection release. 60 bucks MSRP, 40 bucks at DVD Planet. Can’t comment on the actual show, as I’ve never seen it and have no real desire to any time soon.
