I used to watch DBZ when I was a kid (7 or 8). Funimation decided around last June that they were going to re-do every episode of DBZ starting with the Raditz saga and air them on Nicktoons. It's actually very good but the problem is they don't take breaks between seasons of the show, they randomly stop airing episodes with no warning at all for months at a time.

Well during the last episode Dr. Gero escaped and ran back to his lab to activate androids 17 and 18...then they stopped. This was in March.

First of all: does anyone actually watch the show (of course someone on TL does), and when do you guys think they will air the next episode? What do you guys think of the random stoppages and of the show itself?

Dragonball Kai was a re-edit by Toei Animation for the 20th anniversary of DBZ and Funimation decided that dub that.

Eh.. I watched some episodes, and my roommate watched them all (he's never watched the original series), I think it's nice they cut out so much filler in the episodes, but then again there was more suspense and epicness, I mean the Ginyu force defeated in 1 episode is

DBZ kai (I think it's the same stuff as toonzai) is censored beyond belief QQ. I remember watching the episode where vegeta kills the ginyu force, only that you don't actually see vegeta kill them (i.e. I never saw him blow up jeice)

Will add some examples

Original Chiaotzu death:


DBZK:


Remember how Frieza blows up Krillin? Well in DBZK he just disappears:

I know all these episodes are already dubbed so I guess they're having trouble getting the rights to the later ones. I thought that other channels had rights-related issues with airing every season in the past.

Wow those Toonzai edits are so dumb t.t

If any DBZ fan doesn't know, I'd recommend checking out http://www.teamfourstar.com/

Their DBZ abridged episodes are sooo good. They only make 1 per month or so (or less), but they're done very well.

I don't remember Mr. Popo being blue in DBZ Kai, guess we'll find out in a few episodes when they train in the time chamber

Even if they are censored they're still very good to watch, more so for me because I was too young to remember/understand anything that was happening in the original episodes.

I've been watching seasons 1-9, i have the ones that arent cencored/blue popo. It's pretty sweet but after cell the series gets kinda meh. I don't really like Buu as a villain.

The censors aren't that big of a deal and doesn't change too much from the actual show. I do enjoy the fact that the story moves along a lot more smoothly.

I went back to watch the original series from beginning to GT and I hated how much they stretched out the episodes. I remember reading the reason was because the manga was still being written so they tried to buy time. Supposedly, Kai follows the manga better.

DBZ is not a masterpiece I'm afraid. I think that's nostalgia speaking. Please go re-watch it or better yet watch some better anime. You will see the difference in no time!

Goku's voice in the original language is much better than his English version...

In Japanese? No way. This is one of the rare times when the English voice was better. Simply said, it's because it's not the same as sounding like a little kid like he did for DB in the Japanese.

are we really going to say an anime which is more than 20 years old fall short with current day and age anime by calling it a nostalgia trip?

Seriously guys?
