You got this from me when you first heard this, remember that!

 

Yes, this is true, DragonBall Kai fans, REJOICE. After years of thinking that the absolute greatest version of DragonBall Z would end without finishing its arcs....here comes some news of it making its comeback!

 

("Don't call it a comeback! I've been here for--")

 

LL! ..... (sigh) You know what I'm in too great a mood. Let it ring out!

 

"AW YEAH!"

 

 

Anyways, now that this series is gonna wrap up with Buu, I HAVE, HAVE, HAVE, to start getting the DVDs!

 

Fellow DragonBall Kai fans, let your own voice be heard! Are you pumped?! Are you excited?! Are you breaking down in tears of joy?! Did you know this would eventually happen, and now have the chance to laugh in the face of the doubters?! (laughs)

 

If so.....then COMMENT!

 

(Takes breath) Whew, that took a lot of energy....or should I say KI?! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....(turns Super Saiyan)

 

If you think that was corny...then BITCH, you just jealous of my Super Saiyan Swagger!

Just got to it a few days ago.

 

I know that. However, I'd rather just call it "DBK" because I realize that the "Z" is just for marketing. I know what I'm watching anyway. It's all the same.

 

And NO.....they ARE in the manga, silly head. Besides, they shut down because it lost popularity. No interest = No motivation to keep the show going. It's just business, I understand....however, that doesn't make me any less excited that it's back.

 

No.....

 

They decided in the beginning that it wouldn't include the Buu Saga because it wasn't in the original manga.

No.....

 

They decided in the beginning that it wouldn't include the Buu Saga because it wasn't in the original manga.

 

No. Dragon Ball was suposed to end in frieza saga and make goku the one and only super saiyan from the legend. Awakening his powers and fight agaisnt the monster who destroyed his race and his home planet, both alone with a whole planet near destruction as battlefield. Perfect ending if you ask me. But Dragon Ball = Money so they pressure toriyama-sama to continue and once agian was supossed to end there. Making gohan the new hero and goku's sucessor. But then once again, money is more important, so they pressured toriyama-sama one more time and buu saga born. Later he revelead that every saiyan can turn super saiyan, if he trains hard enough and explodes with angry. But here in buu saga, gohan was supposed to the hero and defeat buu while goku remained in other world, but goku is just that perfect character thats impossible to not like him, and toriyama-sama noticed that fans wanted him back and gohan couldnt replace him , so he bring him back and make him dfeat buu. Affer that, the staff still wanted more sagas thats when toriyama-sama said "enough!" and sold the rights to the company because he wanted to make other projects. And with the rights bought, GT was born. - End

 

Ah...I see.

 

Well, uh, by OST you mean US right? As in Falconer? Cuz if you do....well, I'll say that his music is good....but let's be honest here, it kinda ruined som monets in the show where we needed absolute SILENCE....plus I don't need an BGM track made in my country to enjoy anime. I'm perfectly fine with what was origianlly intended, whether it be rock or jazz or what the composer calls for.

 

Oh...this is a tough one for me to talk about....uh.....admittdely, yeah, there was some good filler in DBZ. However, that does not mean at all that all of it was good. May I remind you of the pointless comedy episodes, the prolonged plot points, the meaningless staring contests, power up scenes, and all that. That's not so hot in my eyes....in face, I have the nerve to call it downright horrible. Kai has nothing like that. Yeah, they kept in things like the Gregory character and some other stuff, but other that that, it's straight to the point. No extra crap needed. No time-wasting. I don't care if Vegeta needs time to heal, I want his ass out of there so he can go kill Cui. Just Saiyan.

 

And look, not every single thing needs time to take in. If it did, it would have happened in the manga. All I'm Saiyan is that there are times in this series where it would have been better off, in the orginal, to just get shit done.

 

Long ass power up scenes? No. Speed that shit up and get to fighting. Staring contests? Nope. Make a move, already. Tension bulding where there's no need for it? I get it! The situation's critical, so do something about it already! :angry:

 

Whew....sorry. Went on a tanget there....now, don't get me wrong, I respect your opinion. I just have a different one, and I have a lot of passion for it as well as this series.

 

No No no Im from Portugal , i gew up with portuguese version wich haves the original soundtracks. I hate the american version and I pity the people who grew up without listen the original soundtracks. Dragon Ball soundtracks were personaly chosen for toriyama-sama to fit every scene and the americans change that to me its like they thought "I know more about your series than you" wtf?! i despise the american version (not trying to be rude) because of that. even though they the remastered version i wont never watch it. Because it isnt only that but the dialogue too. American version invented so much omg and put dialogue in every scene even when was supossed to be a silent moment and we would only enjoy the beautiful background song. besides a lot of people like goku character in english version but to me, which saw the original version, he's soooo out of his character. sean schemmel make gound sound like a marvel a hero he isnt that.

 

For example his speech to frieza "im the hope of the universe.. Im the light in the darkness blablabla" awesome speech ?! yeah is a good speech. But goku character is supposed to be like that?! firetruck no! he would never say something like that. that mae him sound like jesus...he's better than jesus. in Japanese version he says "Despite my calm heart im the legendary super saiyan" something like that, dont remember well now but its a quote that futs he's character. Now compare both and see how goku is so out of character in american version. Goku is the kind of character that i dont say "he's a badass" because that word doesnt fit this character, words more like hero,saviour,etc fit him better. Badass fits vegeta and piccolo for example.

 

About this "May I remind you of the pointless comedy episodes, the prolonged plot points, the meaningless staring contests, power up scenes, and all that" I rather have these scene than a lot of filler without sense, at least dragon ball staff knew how to slow the plot with these scenes because a lot of pointless fillers can ruin an anime inspired in an awesome manga. For example: Naruto. I rather see these kind of scenes in DBZ than a naruto filler, believe it.

 

Here's a example of how Kai will never be better than DBZ, it simply cant beat DBZ soundtracks in my opinion of course. An epic sountrack playing in background to me makes a lottt difference:

Uh....yeah, it is. Go on any manga reading site, dude. It's there. The Buu Saga. It's not like the Garlic Jr. Saga, where's it just there for filler reasons.

 

Speaking of filler and things that were bad about the Buu Saga.....a Kai treatment would do wonders for Buu. Cut out the pointless stuff, rework the bad English dub, maybe correct the Super Buu eye coloring....yeah, I can see it.

OH....I'm sorry, I mistook you for an American....well, regardless, to me, the original BGM of Z and the one in Kai.....meh. It's the same. Falconer's a different story since his style, or rather the US style is very different from the Jap. way...so that's why I said what I said. But if you're talking about the Jap BGM, well....I can't argue with you on that. Sorry, but those two sound the same to me.

 

Now about the English dub...THIS is also why Kai is better. In fact you'll be glad to hear if you don't already know that Funimation got their shit together for Kai. They didn't fill the script with cheesy American jokes or ideals, no. They stuck to the original script more strictly this time around, and I gotta say, it is so much better to listen to these characters now. Hell, even the scene you mentioned is better. trust me! And Sean's still voicing Goku and he sounds great!

 

Also, I'm not one of those guys who crucifies Goku's JAP voice actress either. I like her AND Sean Schemmel. They're both good.

 

Oh, and, uh, the filler crap I mentioned? Yeah, it DIDN'T make sense. Why? Because they didn't need it. Staring contests, power up scenes, and comedy. NO. Not needed at all. And to be fair, at least in Naruto (Shippuden I mean) they had filler that actually make sense. Point: Naruto's wind training with Sora. That could have actually happened if it was canon. Also: The Two Tails sealing arc. THAT could have happened too. Do you see where I'm getting at? Overall, the worst of the worst of DragonBall was things that didn't even make sense or even slow down the plot. And why would they need to slow down the plot anyway?! There's no resting or napping or doing filler-y things in DragonBall! The only breaks they get are the Saiyan training, the Android training, the 10 day Cell Games wait, and the Seven Year Gap. That's it. Put some filler in that and maybe I'd watch. Let's see Gohan and Piccolo spar together. (no, I don't count the actual filler that was in the Saiyan Saga with Goku on Snake Way or Gohan and Piccolo. Why, because the Snake Way stuff was stupid, and the Piccolo-Gohan training was RUINED with plots like robots and orphans....REALLY?! Let's see Piccolo teach Gohan the frickin Masenko, not that bull!).....OR how about some shit in the SYG, like baby Goten and Gohan doing stuff...ugh.....overall, the bad filler was BAD...they could have done so much better.

 

(sigh).......another tangent.....wait, what was I talking about? Oh yeah....Uh....I think I'm done. Am I? .... Yeah, I am.

the 3 filler arcs in shippuden: sora, sanbi and 6 tails connected to the plot but they cant even be compared to DBZ fillers arcs. Even the the fillers of one episode connected to the sotry in dbz look to naruto lately, i gave up watching the anime only read the manga now because the anime is all screwed up with pointless episodes. I rather they did a break instead ruin the anime. Its only fillers abou animals or the same old scenes form naruto classic animated in a different way (for worse). Shippuden has a shitty animation since some years ago.

 

We have really different opinions so I will stop here because im lazy to write more.

I'm stopping too...however, I end with this: as for Naruto....well, the animation has gotten better AND the recent string of fillers haven't been so bad. Just Saiyan.

I'm soooooooooooo going to enjoy this.

I don't get it? If they aren't going to show it in Japan then why record it? Are they just paying the seiyuu's for nothing then? Whatever the Buu saga is my favorite saga so I'm loking forward to it.

Interesting fact: The Portuguese OST is the same as the Japanese OST. That's why it was so enjoyable.

i love the DBZ so the DBZ kai...its great to...its the same but with better graphics....but is cool x)

 

Still not following, dude. (BTW, I'm Portuguese, too.)

Because the US and Europe audiences want it, that's why. They enjoy the seiyuus too, ya know.

I'm all for different opinions but how anyone can prefer any VA to Sean Schemmel and Chris Sabat to their Seiyuu counterparts is beyond me. Their voices are just perfect. The fact Goku actually sounds male helps...

Because Japanese people like Japanese. And people that aren't Japanese like to see things from the other side of the spectrum. I agree that Goku sounds really good with Sean Schemmel, but really, who cares what he sounds like when Masako Nozama. The lady is a damn pro and she gets the job done. That's all that should matter. I mean, Luffy and Naruto sound like girls too, but nobody bitches about THAT, do they?

Yeah, I wasn't talking to about the Japanese, of course they'd like to see it in Japanese. Many people care. Sean Schemmel is a damn pro too who gets the job done as well! I just think that if Goku had a male voice in the Japanese version and the English or any other language for some reason gave him a woman's voice there would have been a huge outcry but somehow it being the other way round makes it ok? Just cause it's the original they can get away with anything? Well I don't know about One Piece but many  people do in fact have problems with Naruto's voice in either language. It just doesn't get as much hate because at least the VA and Seiyuu try to sound like a young male. You know something's wrong when Goku has a higher voice than his wife.

This is Goku we're talking about. Even if he sounds squeaky in Japanese, he can still kick ALL of our asses.

I can't wait for the Buu saga on Dragon Ball Z Kai.

This, my good friend, I cannot argue with. Heck if I was strong and epic like that I'd wish I had that voice just to tempt people into fighting me only to have their butts kicked!
