Dragonball Kai

It's DBZ, with new recorded dialog, and cutting a ton of the filler stuff so it's closer to what Toriyama originally had. Basically, fights are supposed to be a lot shorter, no garlic jr or tournament episodes, ect.

Non-confirmed reports have stated that the series will be cut down from 291 episodes to approximately 100.

Figured it's only a matter of time until Funimation brings this over, so maybe some of you would be interested.

Other than that, the intro is basically the one thing that's been remade. Everything else is the same animation from before. Looks nice, but I don't like the new theme song.

Re: Dragonball Kai

So no Cell saga?

Re: Dragonball Kai

they had tournaments after the cell games, but I'm guessing they'll skip the first couple of fights for Cell and go straight to Goku fighting Cell.

Didn't it originally end with Cell? And the stuff with Buu added later?

Re: Dragonball Kai

Me and my friends were just talking about how we had the patience of saints for watching as much DBZ as we did. THIS IS INTERESTING TO ME

But, yeah, couldn't they just have used a cover of Cha La Head Cha La or something? That would've been cool.

Re: Dragonball Kai

They didnt have Hironobu Kageyama do the opening song?

That's not right. The man did DOZENS of songs for the original DBZ, and what, suddenly he's not good enough?

If they replace Spirit vs. Spirit when they get to the cell games, I will be very, very sad.

Re: Dragonball Kai

Looks like the music is being replaced as well. Least I'm not familiar with any of it, if it was in other DBZ movies or the regular DB.

Re: Dragonball Kai

I love DragonBallz, I can't get of enough of DragonBallz so giving me more DragonBallz just makes me even happier and puts a smile on my face.

Re: Dragonball Kai

Sounds like a pretty cool idea to me. I watched a few dozen episodes of DBZ back in high school, but could never truly get into it because it was far too slow. If they preserve the character development, I think this could be a much better experience than the original--at least to a newcomer.

Re: Dragonball Kai

That's easily the best DBZ episode I've seen yet.

Re: Dragonball Kai

Right? It's, like, paced and stuff.

Re: Dragonball Kai

Even with all the terrible things about its presentation fixed, I still don't find the story compelling enough to recapture my attention at age 24.
