Mass != Volume And besides that, it's in another frakkin' universe. You expect the laws of physics to be the same everywhere? A completely parochial attitude from a three-dimensioneer... |

It is in HD. You must mean re-animating the whole series. I'm guessing that they decided to hold off on doing that until 10 years from now.

It would probably take ten years to do it. |

Most people who are complaining are probably watching it in regular Standard Def. It looks all the same and really cant tell the detail from the original DVD cut. If you watch it in HD a lot of it looks much better much more vibrant color cleaner animation and the detail in a lot of the minor details just look better over all.
The biggest complaint i have is the opening and ending song. What horrible music for one of the largest anime shows in history. They should have just kept to original music and animation for the open/ending themes. |

It looks a lot better. I'm enjoying the newer pace that the story is proceeding at so far. Do you think they'll eventually air and release this in NA? Hopefully NOT before Dragonball gets put on DVD again...

Well, it looks like some filler episodes are going to be cut; finally. It took the original English run five episodes to get to Gohan's metamorphosis, and what do you know? It has taken Dragon Ball Kai the same amount of time. I'm beginning to think more and more that 100 episodes is a rather ambitious target.

Well, the beginning of Z was pretty faithful to the manga. I'm expecting things to speed when they start cutting stuff like "I scream for half an episode to power up!" Frieza took 30 episodes to beat, this time around I'm thinking 10 or less. All the characters in Z seem kind of retarded when they let their enemy power up for minutes on end and almost never interrupt. For comparison, I think Bleach with the reiatsu releases does it much better. (ETA: And a major power upping is just a "BANKAI!" and not 5 minutes of screaming and looking constipated) |

So, I looked at a list of episodes already aired and compared to the episode names of DBZ. Unless they've done some shuffling around of things (like showing Krillin & co's training), at episode 6 Goku has reached King Kai's planet (episode 18 in DBZ).
This tosses out totally implausible crap from DBZ like Goku getting a ride on a truck (!! .. where exactly is the truck going?), takes a nap and the truck hits a bump so big (!?!?) that Goku falls off Snake Way (!!!??!?) down to Hell / HFIL and spends a few episodes getting out. Not sure if they completely edited out Princess Snake's place at the midway point or if it's a short pit stop in episode 4 or 5. Also no Vegeta & Nappa on bug planet. |

I guess I'm one of the few people who really don't like the dub voices. There's a certain distinctly Americanized quality to them that just makes everyone sound like punks. I also think the japanese voices are much more fitting than the American ones given the characters' personality. Especially Gokuu's, I've always thought his dub voice was too low and that the japanese one reflected Gokuu's personality much better. Gokuu is basically a big kid no matter how old he grows, that's part of his charm, and you don't really get that impression from the dub. Gokuu may be funny and naive, but he isn't dumb, which he rather appears to be in the dub. Last edited by jomy on Mon Mar 29, 2010 12:35 am; edited 1 time in total |

The 100 number was probably just an estimate and not an exact figure. But I for one hope that they do not sacrifice any of the original manga arcs, whether Cell or Majin Buu, just to keep the episode count low. If they did, it wouldn't really be an edited version of Dragon Ball Z. |

I've always liked Dragon Ball Z as long as I could ignore the filler episodes and arcs. Not to mention the movies, those sound pretty horrible too. But Dragon Ball Z had really great BGMs in addition to Kageyama Hironobu's great songs. I don't think anything that they come up in this era will ever match the likes of "Unmei no Hi ~ Tamashii VS Tamashii" or the very cute "Aitsu wa Son Gokuu", and "We Gotta Power" was a pretty cool song too. Even though the current OP and ED themes are nice, they're just no match for the original. As far as Naruto goes, I've watched one episode and have no interest whatsoever in it. Bleach can be summed up in three words: too many characters. Aside from that though, it's all right, but not as good as D.Gray-Man. And One Piece actually has a more interesting main character than any of the others, and especially more interesting than its plot. |

Sorry for the big thread bump, but I'm wondering if I should watch DB Kai or DBZ... At the moment I'm watching the original Dragon Ball for the first time. So what do you guys recommend for a first time watcher, Dragon Kai with the HD and no fillers, or the original Dragon Ball Z with all the episodes. I don't know if DB Kai is censored or that there are awesome story arcs cutout. So I don't now which version is better.

If I were in your shoes I would watch Kai.
I wouldn't call those cut arcs "awesome" ("annoying" could be better) and I didn't noticed any censorship. That doesn't mean it wasn't any- it just doesn't bother me. I tried to watch simultaneously and compare them, but after 10 minutes of original DBZ my hand automatic go to remote control to fast-forward it. The trademark of original DBZ were scenes pulled thought to the edge of common sense, that were shorten in Kai- I doubt if nowadays fan could stand it. What do you think of USA release? Is it worth purchasing? |
