Oh my God, FINALLY!! I've been waiting for this to happen for at least a whole year now, ever since I finished the original DBZ! This has to be my most favorite arc out of the whole series, I absolutely love Super Buu as a villain and can't wait to hear if they get Justin Cook to come back and reprise his role (I mean, I think he voiced him in both Xenoverse games, so odds are high for that). It's great to hear Kyle Hebert as Gohan again as well, and Sean Shemel is in top form as ever. This might not have been one of the most exciting scenes to use as a preview, but fans aught to know by know what's in store with that arc so I think this is fitting enough as a "get ready to hop back on board the Kai train" kind of trailer. I mean, this is the first time I've ever been this excited about a tournament arc before, and it's one I've already seen before.
Anyway, it sounds like it's following the pattern most people have been theorizing for a while now, Toonami is going to start airing the new dubbed episodes of Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters every Saturday starting on 1/7/17 at Midnight ET, or roughly 9:00 PM for us West-coasters. They aught to be wrapping up the Cell Games arc any weekend now, so it's perfect timing to pick up viewership in anticipation for Funimation's eventual release of their dub for Dragon Ball Super, which takes place almost directly after DBZ's main events.
I got to tell you guys, I'm excited. I started marathoning the whole Dragon Ball series some time last year and just caught up roughly around the first half of the Fall semester this year, and I've been pretty inclusive so far. Everything from the original Dragon Ball, to the original Dragon Ball Z (I believe it was the blu-ray version on some website that's having technical issues now, so I won't bother linking it), all of the Dragon Ball and DBZ movies save the two most recent ones (saving that for right before Super), Dragon Ball GT (YES, I watched it, it was "okay", it's a thing that exists, it'd be a disgrace to the franchise as a whole to NOT watch it, get over it), and finally watching all of DBZ Kai that was released so far. It's been the wait for the Final Chapters that has been keeping me from watching Super so far, because while I have technically seen the end of DBZ already, the point of me watching Kai last was to kind of refresh my experience with Z so that by the time I finally watch Super it will all feel fresh...plus I absolutely love the Buu saga so I'm gonna let that be my grand finale damn it! Once that is finally caught up, I'll watch the Battle and Resurrection movies and odds are by then the first few episodes of Funimation's DB Super dub will be up so I'll have that to jump right in and binge to my inner-weeb's content.
So, anyone else excited by this? For the past two years it's been nothing but Funimation either saying "no, not yet" or "no comment" while most of the voice actors have been saying "yeah we basically finished work on this months ago", and now we finally have something concrete to be hyped over? Anyone else been looking forward to the arc that got a lot of Millenials into the original series in the first place?
